represents the following sequence of actions:
1. In the navigation frame of the help system window, expand the General Ledger entry.
2. Under the General Ledger entry, expand Journals.
3. Under Journals, select Enter Journals.
4. Review the Enter Journals topic that appears in the document frame of the help system
window.

Inventory Organizations
c l
An inventory organization is a facility where you store and transact items. Before you can use
r a
Oracle Inventory, you must define one or more inventory organizations. Inventory
organizations represent distinct entities in your enterprise and can be one of the following:
O ly
A physical entity such as a manufacturing facility, warehouse, or distribution center.
& On
A logical entity such as an item master organization, which you use to define items.
l
n a e
An inventory organization may have the following attributes:
An inventory organization can have its own location, ledger, costing method, workday
calendar, and items.
t e r U s
An inventory organization can share one or more of these characteristics with other
organizations.

Inventory Organization Structure
c l
An inventory organization, where you store and transact items can have one or more
r a
subinventories. Subinventories are unique physical or logical separations of material inventory,
such as raw material inventory, finished goods inventory, or defective goods inventory. In
O ly
Oracle Inventory, all material within an organization is held in a subinventory. You must
l & On
define at least one subinventory for every organization. You can track item quantities by
subinventory as well as restrict items to specific subinventories.
a e
The subinventories in an inventory organization may be made up of one or more locators. You
n
t e r s
use locators to identify physical areas where you store inventory items. You can track items by
locator and restrict items to a specific locator. Locator control is optional in Oracle Inventory.

Multi-Organization Structure
c l
Multi-Organization structure enables you to model multiple business units in an enterprise
r a
using a single installation of Oracle applications. In a multi-organization architecture you can
keep data secure and separate from each business unit.
O ly
The following are the benefits of multi-organization structure:
l & On
You can use a single installation of any Oracle Applications product to support any
number of business units, even if those business units use a different ledger.
n a e
Secure access to data so users can access only relevant information.
e r s
You can define a organizational model that best suits your business requirements.
t U
In Inventory, you can fulfill any Sales Order or Purchase Order regardless of them being
I n
booked from any Inventory organization. You can also determine if any inter-company
invoicing needs to occur based on if the Sales Order or Purchase Order was booked in a
l e
different Operating Unit other than the one to which the Inventory organization is
c
assigned.

Locations are shared between Oracle Inventory, Oracle Purchasing, and Oracle Human

Resource Management Systems. Locations flagged as global locations are available to all
business groups. You can associate each organization with only one location; however,

you can associate more than one organization with the same location.

must specify a locator when transacting the item into or out of a subinventory. If locator
O ly
control is turned on at the subinventory level, you must specify a locator when transacting any

item into or out of that subinventory. Each stock locator you define must belong to a
subinventory, and each subinventory can have multiple stock locators. The possible locator

Interorganization Shipping Networks
c l
An interorganization shipping network describes the relationships and accounting information
r a
between a shipping organization and a destination organization. You must define a shipping
network between two organizations before you can transfer material between organizations.
O ly
When you setup a shipping network you must select a transfer type. The choices are intransit
l & On
or direct. If you choose intransit, Oracle Inventory moves material to an intermediary state
before it reaches the destination organization, and a receipt transaction is required in the
a e
destination organization once the material arrives in order to retrieve it. If you choose direct,
n
e r
Oracle Inventory moves the material directly to the destination organization. However, for
s
both, you can determine default receipt routing and whether internal orders are required to
transfer material.
t U
I n
If you choose intransit as the transfer type you can determine:
c l e
Shipping methods
GL accounts to use in transit
r a Material ownership during transfers
O

Copying Inventory Organizations
c l
You can create new inventory organizations or copy an existing organization. You must
r a
establish a model organization to use as a baseline for new organizations. This model
organization must be a transactional organization and not an item master organization. You can
O ly
copy only organizations within the same operating unit. The system creates the new
l & On
organizations under the same business group to which the model organization belongs, and
assigns the new organizations to the same operating unit, legal entity, and ledger as the model
organization.
n a e
t e r s
When you copy organizations you specify which information to copy from the model
organization. You can choose to copy the following information from the model organization:
U
Shipping networks
I n
Organization definition
l e
Hierarchy assignments
c
Bills of material and bills of material parameters
r a
Departments, resources, and routings
O Item information
Inventory Structure
Chapter 2 - Page 48
When you copy a model organization the system automatically copies the following
information:
Subinventories
Locators
Work in Process parameters
Work in Process accounting classes
Planning parameters
Shipping parameters
Note: The system does not copy organization-specific data including: cost type, cost sub-
element, Process Manufacturing Enabled, Oracle Warehouse Management enabled, and cost-
sharing entities.

the same master organization within the same hierarchy. You can also assign a range of
items or item categories to a single organization, as well as a range of items or categories
to multiple organizations.
n a e

Copy item attributes: You can manage item attributes for many organizations in one place.
You can verify that an item or group of items were set up correctly, copy organization-
I n

When you set up your organizations you need to determine the organization type. For
r a
example, you need to determine if the organization is a process or a discrete organization and if
you are using Oracle Warehouse Management. You can use Oracle Warehouse Management
O ly
and Oracle Process Management in the same organization. You should not however, use
l & On
Oracle Asset Management with Oracle Warehouse Management or Oracle Process Execution.
If you plan on using Oracle Warehouse Management you need to determine if you are going to
a e
use the Warehouse Control system. If this organization transacts business with Japan, Taiwan,
n
t e r
or Korea you can enable Chargeable Subcontracting for the organization. You must consider
s
all of this information before you create items or process transactions.

Unit of Measure
c l
You define units of measure for tracking, moving, storing, and counting items.
Primary Unit of Measure
r a
O ly
When you define an item you establish a primary unit of measure. The system tracks on-hand
quantity and calculates transactions based on the primary unit of measure.
Secondary Unit of Measure
l & On
n a e
You can optionally establish a secondary unit of measure (dual unit of measure control) for an
item. Secondary unit of measure can be used for cases where you need to track in two units of
e r s
measure and there is no constant conversion between the two unit of measures (UOMs). For
t U
example, chickens can be tracked in pounds and eaches.
I n
If an item is under dual unit of measure control the system tracks on-hand quantity based on
both the primary and secondary units of measure. For example, you can track an item in both
l e
eaches and liters.

Unit of Measure Class
c l
Unit of measure classes represent groups of units of measure with similar characteristics. A
r a
unit of measure class contains a base unit of measure. You use the base unit of measure to
perform conversions between units of measure in the class. For this reason, the base unit of
O ly
measure should represent the other units of measure in the class, and be one of the smaller
l & On
units. For example, quantity is a unit of measure class and each, dozen, and gross are examples
of units of measure within the class. The unit of measure each is the base unit of measure for
this class.

A unit of measure conversion is a mathematical relationship between two different units of
r a
measure. For example, 16 ounces = 1 pound, or 2.2 pounds = 1 kilogram. If you want to
transact items in units of measure belonging to classes other than their primary UOM class,
O ly
you must define conversions between the base units of measure in different UOM classes.

Lot specific conversions enable you to perform a specific inter-class conversion for a given lot.

This enables you to establish more granular control over the transactional quantities of a lot.
For example, the standard inter-class conversion for a lot controlled item is one gallon equals
O ly
15 pounds; however, when you receive a particular lot of the item, 1 gallon equals 16 pounds.

You can create a lot specific unit of measure for this instance.
You can create lot-specific unit of measure conversions for on-hand lots or lots with a zero

the system automatically creates lot-specific unit of measure conversions for items under dual

You can use a maximum of five decimal places for an individual unit of measure within
Oracle Inventory.
r a
O ly
Note- Inventory transactions and on hand balance supports decimal precision to 5 digits
after the decimal point. Oracle Work in Process supports decimal precision to 6
l & On
digits. Other Oracle Applications support different decimal precision. As a result of
the decimal precision mismatch, transactions another Oracle Application passes may
a e
be rounded when processed by Inventory. If the transaction quantity is rounded to
n
r s
zero, Inventory does not process the transaction. It is therefore suggested that the base
e
unit of measure for an item is set up such that transaction quantities in the base unit of
t U
measure not require greater than 5 digits of decimal precision. For example, in some
I n
industries such as the gold jewellery industry, you may need a more granular level of
l e
control than 5 decimal places. You need to carefully determine the base unit of
measure for each unit of measure class.
c

Primary units of measure cannot be changed on items after they are saved.

An item master organization is a logical entity that you use to define items. You use the other

organizations to store and transact inventory. After you define an item in the item master, you
can assign it to any number of other organizations.
O ly
There is no functional or technical difference between the item master organization and other
organization.
l & On
organizations; however, it is recommended that you limit the item master to an item definition
n a e
You should also define one item master organization per implementation. You can use the
t e r U s
same item master for child organizations across different ledgers. Item masters are distinct
entities with no relationship to each other. You cannot associate items in one item master
organizations.
I n
organization with another item master organization. You cannot copy items across item master
l e
Defining the Item Master Organization
c
You create the item master organization in the same way that you create other inventory
r a
organizations.

You use the Organization window to create the item master organization
Use the Organization Parameters window to specify the organization as the Item Master.

You can use statuses to provide default values for certain item attributes to control the

functionality of an item. The Item Status attribute has a defined set of yes or no values for the
status attributes. You apply the values to the status attributes when you choose an item status
O ly
code when you define an item. For example, in the beginning of a product development cycle

you set the Item Status attribute to Prototype with all of the status attributes defaulted to yes
except for Customer Orders Enabled. When the item is ready, you change the Item Status

attribute to Active to enable all item functions.

Unit of Measure Attributes
c l
You use the units of measure attributes to track your items in the warehouse. The following are
r a
the unit of measure attributes and their definitions:
O ly
Primary Unit of Measure: This is the stocking and selling unit of measure. Any
necessary conversions are based on this unit of measure. The primary unit of measure is
l & On
the default for invoices and credit memos entered in Oracle Receivables.
Tracking: The system can track the item in either the primary only or the primary and
n a e
secondary unit of measure. If the system tracks the item by the primary and secondary unit
t e r U s
of measure this is called dual unit of measure control.
Pricing: This attribute controls if pricing is based on the primary or secondary unit of
measure
I n
Defaulting: This attribute controls the behavior of dual unit of measure controlled items.
l e
- Fixed: The system stores inventory in both the primary and secondary units of
c measure. You can enter an item quantity in one unit of measure, and the system
r a converts the quantity to the secondary unit of measure and displays both quantities
O - Default: The system stores inventory in both the primary and secondary units of
measure. You can enter an item quantity in one unit of measure, and the system

Chapter 4 - Page 17
converts the quantity to the second unit of measure and displays both quantities. You
can change the quantity in the secondary unit of measure, without changing the
quantity in the primary unit of measure.
- No Default: The system stores inventory in both the primary and secondary units of
measure. Use this option when the default conversion between the two units of
measure is usually not the same. The system does not automatically display in the
secondary unit of measure when you specify the quantity for the primary unit of
measure. You manually enter the quantity of the secondary unit of measure before
you process a transaction. The secondary quantity can fluctuate from the default
conversion by the factors that you specify in the Deviation + and Deviation -
attributes.

Item Templates
c l
Oracle Inventory has several predefined templates that you can use to define and update items
or you can create your own templates.
r a
O ly
If you regularly define many items that share the same values for a number of attributes, you
may want to define item templates. You can only use copy once when you define an item. You
one template to define one item.

l & On
can predefine templates with relatively few attributes enabled because you can apply more than
Attributes in Templates
n a e
t e r U s
You can enable attributes and assign them values in each template that you create. When you
apply a template to an item, Oracle Inventory updates only the attributes that are enabled for
I n
the template. The order in which templates are applied is extremely important.

Organization Assignment and Organization Items
c l
You can enable an item in all child organizations under your master organization or choose
r a
child organizations where you use the item. Oracle Inventory propagates the item to all
organizations in which you want to enable it. You can enter or change organization-controlled
O ly
item attributes. For example, you can choose reorder point planning in one organization and
& On
min-max planning in another organization for the same item.

Control Levels

Master-Level Control
c l
An attribute you maintain at the master level has identical values across all organizations that
use the item.
r a
Organization-Level Control
O ly
An attribute you maintain at the organization level may have different values for each
organization that uses it.
l & On
Attribute Control
n a e
Some attributes can be maintained at only the master level or the organizational Level. Units of
e r s
measure are controlled at the master level. If you are using multiple organizations, then you
t U
should maintain min-max planning at the organization level.
Technical Note
I n
c l e
Master-Level Control
For example, suppose you want to ensure that items defined in two organizations are
r a
transactable at the same time in both organizations. If you make the item not transactable in
one organization, you want the same item to become not transactable in the other organization.
O Organization-Level Control

Chapter 4 - Page 41
Suppose only one of the two organizations in your Oracle Inventory implementation performs
manufacturing operations, while the other organization is strictly a distribution warehouse.
For a finished good item used in both organizations, you would want the flexibility to select the
Build in WIP status attribute check box in the manufacturing organization, and clear the Build
in WIP status attribute check box in the distribution organization.

Revision Control
m y
d e
ca
e A
Revision Control
c l
A revision is a particular version of an item, bill of material, or routing. Use the revision
r a
control to track item quantities by item revision and specify a revision for each material
transaction.
O ly
Enable revision control for items you must track version changes or changes that are
l & On
significant enough to track but do not affect the function and feature of the item.
You cannot change the revision control item attribute when an item has quantity on hand. If
n a e
revision control is controlled at the Master Item level, the check for on-hand quantity is against
t e r U s
the sum of on-hand quantity in all child organizations. If revision control is controlled at the
organizational level, the check for on-hand quantity is against the sum of on-hand quantity in
that organization.
I n
Use letters, numbers, and characters such as A, A1, 2B, and so on to define revision numbers.
l e
Letters are always in upper case and numbers may include decimals. To ensure revisions sort
c
properly, decimals should always be followed by a number. Revisions are sorted according to
r a
ASCII rules, therefore each revision must be greater than the previous revision. For example,
you cannot use revision 10 after revision 9 because, according to ASCII sorting, 10 precedes 9.

Restricting Items to Subinventories
c l
You can assign items to a given subinventory. Assigning items to a subinventory does not
r a
restrict the subinventory to that list of items. Rather, the items are restricted to that
subinventory. Thus, you can always issue and receive unrestricted items to any subinventory,
O ly
but you can only issue and receive restricted items to those particular subinventories. You
l & On
activate the list of subinventories for a restricted item when you set the Restrict Subinventories
attribute. You also use the item-subinventory relationship to specify valid subinventories for
a e
zero quantity cycle counts for an item, and to specify items for an ABC analysis performed at
n
t e r
the subinventory level. In these cases you do not have to set the Restrict Subinventories

attribute, only establish the relationship between the item and subinventory.

Categories and Category Sets
c l
A category is a logical classification of items that have similar characteristics. A category set
r a
is a distinct grouping scheme and consists of categories. You can define an unlimited number
of categories and group subsets of your categories into category sets. A category can belong to
O ly
multiple category sets. You can assign a category to a category set either at the time you
Default Category Sets

l & On
define a category set or at the time you assign an item to the category.
n a e
When you install Oracle Inventory, you must assign a default category set to each of the
t e r U s
following functional areas functional areas: Inventory, Purchasing, Order Management,
Costing, Engineering, and Planning. Product Line Accounting is seeded with the Inventory
I n
category set. Oracle Inventory makes the default category set mandatory for all items defined
for use by a functional area. If your item is enabled for a particular functional area you cannot
c l e
delete the item's corresponding default category set assignment. Default category sets are
required so that each functional area has at least one category set that contains all items in that
a
functional area.

Item Catalogs
c l
To define your catalog, you set up as many distinct item catalog groups as you need to partition
r a
your Item Master. Each group has unique characteristics (called a descriptive element) that
completely describe items belonging to the group. When you assign an item to an item catalog
O ly
group, you define values for the descriptive elements that apply to your item. For example, an
l & On
item catalog group called mug could have a descriptive element called material. Possible
values for material might be glass or ceramic.
Descriptive Elements
n a e
t e r U s
You can define any number of descriptive elements for an item catalog group. You can also
describe whether the descriptive element is required at item definition, and whether the
I n
descriptive element value is included by default in the item catalog description. Descriptive
element values can be concatenated and used to create an item's description. You turn this
c l e
feature off or on for each descriptive element in a catalog group. Turn Description Default on
for any element you want included in a concatenated description. You create a concatenated
r a
description when assign an item to an item catalog group.

Lot Control Overview
c l
A lot can represent a quantity of an item that shares the same specifications, one or more
r a
receipts from the same vendor, or whatever you choose. You can divide each lot into child lots
that can reflect whatever characteristics you choose for items within the lot. For example, you
O ly
may divide a lot of items from a supplier into child lots to reflect differences in quality
l & On
specifications. When you allocate stock for production, you can allocate specific lots to a
production batch based on the potency, age, or other item characteristics. Oracle Inventory
a e
provides complete lot number support for inventory transactions. You can enable lot control
n
e r
for specific items in your inventory. For items under lot control, you assign lot numbers to each
s
receipt, and thereafter reference the same lots each time you perform material transactions.
t U
This enables you to have tight control over lot controlled items in your inventory.
I n
All of the material produced in a manufacturing batch may be assigned a lot number. For
e
example, you can create a manufacturing batch of penicillin and assign it parent lot number
l
A100. You can then use parent lot A100 to create child lot A100_01 to make pills, child lot
c
A100_02 to create emulsion, and child lot A100_03 to create capsules. Each child lot has the
r a
same ingredients as the original parent lot A100, but they are in a different format.
O

Child Lots
m y
d e
ca
e A
Child Lots
c l
A child lot is a subdivision of a lot that you can use if you produce a lot over a period of time,
r a
but still want to group the material as a single lot. Using a child lot maintains the integrity of
the lot, but enables you to consume it in manageable pieces. When you process transactions for
O ly
material under child lot control, you enter the child lot as the lot number. The system also
& On
maintains a genealogy relationship between the parent lot and the child lot.

Setting up Lot Control
Organization Parameters
c l
r a
You use the Organization Parameters window to specify whether lot numbers should be
O ly
unique for an item. If you do not establish lot number uniqueness, you can assign the same lot
number to multiple items in the same organization and across organizations. If you control lot
l & On
number uniqueness at the item level, you can assign a specific lot number only to one item in
the same organization and across organizations. When you perform transactions, Oracle
a e
Inventory checks the lot number uniqueness control to generate lot number defaults.
n
t e r U s
You use the Organization Parameters window to specify how to generate lot number defaults.
You can generate sequential lot numbers based on an alphanumeric prefix that you specify
I n
when you define an item. Oracle Inventory can also generate lot number defaults for the entire
organization. In this case, you must define a lot number prefix at the Organization level in the
c l e
Organization Parameters window.
If you do not want Oracle Inventory to automatically generate lot number defaults for you, you
r a
can enter your own lot numbers when you receive items. You can always override lot number
defaults. For more information See Defining Organization Parameters, Oracle Inventory User's
O Guide.

Item Attributes

r a
You can establish lot control for an item when you define it. You can select either No control
O ly
or Full control. If you choose Full Control, then you must assign lot numbers when you
receive the item into inventory. Thereafter, when you transact the item, you must provide a lot
l & On
number that you specified when you received the item.
You can update lot control options for an item if it has zero on hand quantity. In addition, you

Shelf life is the amount of time that an item can reside in inventory before it expires. When

system does not consider the expired lot as on-hand supply when it performs min-max, reorder

point, or MRP planning calculations. You also cannot reserve an expired lot. See Oracle
Inventory User's Guide Inventory Attribute Group control.
Grade Control
A grade is a rating that you assign to an item lot for quality control purposes. Grades are
usually based on criteria such as color, size, or quality of the lot. For example, the grade of a
lot of paint could be excellent, average, or poor. A grade is a characteristic of an item lot, and
never a lot location.

Assigning Lot Numbers
c l
You must assign lot numbers when you receive items under lot control. You can also add
r a
quantities to existing lot numbers and split an inventory receipt into several lots, if necessary.
Oracle Inventory uses the default lot number generation method that you entered in the
O ly
Organization Parameters window to determine lot numbers. You also enter the lot prefix and
l & On
starting lot number in the Item Master window when you create an item. If the item is under
user-defined expiration date Lot Expiration (shelf life) Control, you must specify the expiration
date for the lot.
n a e
r s
You can either use the lot master to generate new lot numbers or assign lot numbers when you
e
perform transactions. When you create the lot, the system determines the lot origination type.
t U
If you create the lot on the lot master, the origination type is lot master. If you generate the lot
I n
while performing a transaction, the origination type is Inventory. See Item Lots and Assigning
c l e
Lots Within Transactions, Oracle Inventory Users Guide for more information.
Maintaining Lot Information
r a
You can update the expiration date of lots for items under lot expiration (shelflife) control.

Lot Expiration Action
c
A lot expiration action is the action that you perform on a lot when it expires. You can assign a

default lot expiration to an item on the Item Master or when you generate a lot. To associate a
lot expiration action with a lot, you must define shelf life days for the item.

Serial Numbers Overview
c l
A serial number is an alphanumeric piece of information you assign to an individual unit of an
r a
item. You use serial numbers to track individual item units. Serial number control is a system
technique for enforcing the use of serial numbers during a material transaction. You can use
O ly
serial numbers to track items over which you want to maintain very tight control. One serial
l & On
number is assigned to per unit of an item.
For more information on setting up serial number control, refer to the online help:

Serial Number Generation
c l
How you set up serial number control at the master item level determines serial number
r a
generation. If you specify No Control as the serial number control type, then the system does
not enforce serial number control. If you specify Predefined as the serial number control type,
O ly
then you must predefine serial numbers for that item. If you select At inventory receipt or At
l & On
sales order issue, then you can optionally predefine serial numbers for the item.
Oracle Inventory uses the starting serial number prefix and the starting serial number you
a e
specify in the Item window to load the number of predefined serial numbers you request. You
n
t e r U s
can load as many serial numbers as you want for any item under serial number control.
The process of generating serial numbers is done through a concurrent report. This process

Serial Uniqueness

Serial Uniqueness
c l
You use the Organization Parameters window to choose a type of serial number uniqueness for
r a
your organization. You can choose to enforce uniqueness Within inventory items, Within an
organization, or Across organizations. The three levels for serial uniqueness are cumulative,
and the definitions are as follows:
O ly
l & On
Within Inventory Items: Once you assign a serial number to a particular item you cannot
assign the same serial number to the same item regardless of the organization. For
a e
example if you assign serial number SN100 to item A, you cannot assign serial number
n
r s
SN100 to any other instance of item A in any organization. This also includes CTO items
e
derived from base model A. However you could receive item B with serial number
t
SN100 in any organization.
U
I n
Within an Organization: In addition to the Within Inventory Items restrictions, the same
c l e
serial number cannot exist twice within the same organization. For example, if you assign
SN100 to item A, you cannot receive item B with the serial number SN100 in the same
r a organization. You can, however, receive item B with the serial number SN100 in any
other organization.
O

Chapter 5 - Page 40
Across Organizations: In addition to the Within an Organization restrictions, you cannot
assign the same serial number to any other item regardless of the organization. For
example if you assign SN100 to item A you cannot receive item B with the serial number
SN100 in any organization. In this example SN101 and SN100 belong to different
organizations. If you assign Across Organizations uniqueness to any organization it
restricts the serial generation in all other organizations. If one organization dictates
Across Organizations, all other organizations must do so.

Lot Genealogy
c l
Lot genealogy tracks the relationship between lots and provides lot traceability that results
r a
from inventory transactions. This includes all lot splits, merges, and translations. Lot
genealogy also enables you to view where a particular lot is used. For example, one of your
O ly
suppliers informs you that they supplied you with contaminated sugar, which needs to be
l & On
recalled, and you used this sugar as an ingredient in the production of orange juice. You can
use lot genealogy to find each lot of orange juice that contain the contaminated lots of sugar.
a e
You can use lot genealogy to view the work order details for a WIP job, material and pending
n
t e r
transactions, and quality results for both WIP jobs and process batches. Oracle Process
s
Manufacturing does not support serial numbers or serial genealogy.

Serial Genealogy
c l
Serial genealogy tracks the transaction and multilevel composition history of any serial-
r a
controlled item from receipt to customer sale. The composition genealogy is captured through
material transactions in Oracle Work in Process and Oracle Process Manufacturing. The serial
O ly
genealogy appears in a graphical display, and you can trace an assembly down through all of
l & On
its components or from the component to an assembly. This genealogy tracing enables you to
expedite problem isolation and improve customer response times. Serial genealogy also helps
a e
you to track and regulate supplier performance and quality.
n
r s
You can view the transaction history of the serial across all organizations within an operating
e
unit and view the current organization where the serial resides. When issuing serialized
t U
components to serial controlled assemblies, you must associate the component serial number
I n
with the assembly serial number. If the component has a supply type of Push, the association
e
occurs at WIP Issue. If the component has a supply type of Operation Pull, the association
l
occurs at WIP Move. If the component has a supply type of Assembly Pull, the association
c
occurs at WIP Completion. If the item is under lot control, then you can also view the lot
r a
genealogy for the same item. When you view the genealogy of the item, the system lists the
O item number, followed by the lot number, and finally the serial number.

Transaction Types
c l
A transaction type is the combination of a transaction source type and a transaction action. It is
r a
used to classify a particular transaction for reporting and querying purposes. Oracle Inventory
also uses transaction types to identify certain transactions to include in historical usage
O ly
calculations for ABC analysis or forecasting. A number of transaction types are predefined in
l & On
Oracle Inventory. You can also create custom transaction types.
You use the Transaction Types window to define additional transaction types to customize
a e
transaction entry. A user-defined transaction type is a combination of a user-defined
n
r s
transaction source type and a predefined transaction action. For example, if you frequently
e
donate items to charity, you might want to define a transaction source type called charity and a
t U
transaction type called Issue to Charity. In this case, the transaction action would be Issue
I n
from Stores. You would then use the Miscellaneous Transactions window to actually issue an
e
item to charity, using the Issue to Charity transaction type. You would also specify the actual
l
charity to which you are issuing, such as Goodwill, and the expense account that specifies the
c
source Goodwill. For more information about transaction types see Transaction Types, Oracle

O ly
You can create rules based on the following restrictions:
Lot shelf life days
l & On
Single lot - controls whether the system can allocate multiple lots for a particular demand
n a e
Partial lot controls whether the system can allocate quantities of a lot less than the total
lot quantity available
t e r U s
Customer specification matching to require quality specification matching
I n
You can also create sort criteria which determines which material is picked first:
Lot
c l
Revisione
r a
Subinventory
Locator
O
Transaction Setup
Chapter 6 - Page 20
After you create a rule you assign it in the rules workbench. The rule that you created on the
Inventory Picking Rules page appears on the Rules Workbench. The system automatically
assigns a sequence number and return type to the rule. You can modify the sequence number,
but you cannot modify the return type. The return type is a strategy, rule, or value.
You can assign your rule to any combination of criteria the Rules Workbench displays. For
example, if you create a picking rule that allocates material by lot number in ascending order
followed by locator in ascending order, you can assign it to an item in the Rules Workbench.
This means for picking, the system allocates the lowest lot number of the item in the lowest
locator number where the item resides.

O Shortage Alerts
Transaction Setup
Chapter 6 - Page 26
The shortage alert appears in the window during the transaction with the option to go to the
View Potential Shortages form, showing where the shortage exists. Alerts are automatic once
they are set up. Notifications are optional and can be sent to a prespecified list of individuals.
Sources of Demand
When generating shortage alerts and notifications, the system considers one or more of the
following to be sources of demand:
WIP jobs
WIP schedules
Sales order lines that have been pick released and detailed but for which adequate quantity
was not sourced
Supply Types
The system considers the transaction types you select as supply for the unsatisfied demand.
Shortage alerts and notifications are triggered for system or user defined transaction types with
transaction actions of:
Receipt into stores
Intransit receipt
Direct organization transfer
Assembly completion
Negative component issue

Setting Up Move Orders
Subinventory Source Type
c l
r a
For Oracle Inventory to automatically create move orders when using minmax planning or
O ly
replenishment counting, you must define the subinventory source type at one of the following
levels:
Subinventory
l & On
Item
n a e
To automatically create move orders when using the kanban system, you must define the
e r s
subinventory source type at the pull sequence level.
t
Approval Process Parameters
U
I n
Approval is required only for requisition move orders. Other move orders created by shipping
c l e
or replenishment processes are approved automatically. To require planner approval, you
define two parameters at the organization level:
r a
Move Order Timeout Period
Move Order Timeout Action
O
Transaction Setup
Chapter 6 - Page 29
You can also specify individuals to be notified if a shortage occurs. To bypass the approval
process and automatically approve move order requisitions, enter 0 days for the Move Order
Timeout Period and select Automatically Approve for the Move Order Timeout Action. The
approval process is also not enabled for organization items without an assigned planner.
Item Transaction Defaults
You can define the item transaction defaults to automatically populate the destination locator
on the move order line from an organization item.
Move Order Time-Out
Use move order time-out if you want to require approvals for the move orders in your
organization.
Time-out Period
The length of time, in days, you will let your move orders sit in a pending-approval queuing
status.
The following rules apply when you set up time-outs:
After one time-out period, a reminder is sent to the approver.
After two time-out periods, the move order time-out action is performed.
The time-out action is either approved or rejected.
If the time-out period is 0, all move orders are automatically approved.
If the time-out period is left blank, the setting defaults to 0.

Setup Steps for Move Orders
Set Up Planner
c l
r a
Define a planner for the item in the General Planning tabbed region of the Items window.
Designate a Planner
O ly
You designate a planner in the Master Item window when you define an item. If you do not
l & On
designate a planner, the move order is automatically approved.
Notification List
n a e
e r
When you approve or reject the move order, the system sends a courtesy e-mail to the
s
Engineering Change Order (ECO) approval list (which is used here as a notification list). It is
t U
attached to the move order source and destination subinventory. You do not need to have
I n
Oracle Engineering to use this feature.
c l e
Define Picking Rules
Move orders use the standard picking rules of Oracle Inventory to source material. In a WMS
r a
organization, move orders use Oracle Warehouse Management picking rules.
Locator Defaults
O
Transaction Setup
Chapter 6 - Page 31
If a subinventory or item is locator controlled, when you create the move order receipts,
specify a destination locator. If you do not specify a destination locator, the allocating process
uses the item transaction default.
