Inventory items: Machine parts, Raw Materials, Any Trading Items etc
Expenses Items:
You can Track items Onhand but the items value will not show in your inventory valuation (Office Stationery)
etc.
Non-Stock able Items that is direct IN & OUT, are expense items. For such items no need to create Item code for all. Only
few codes can be created and in PR & PO description can be change.
You cannot define an item as expense and inventoried at the same time. But you can define the item as inventory
item.
And when you want to use it as expense, move it to an expense subinventory.

Definition of subinventory
Oracle Inventory -> Setup -> Organization ->Subinventory
A subinventory can be of two types
1- Expense subinventory
2- Asset subinventory
1- Expense subinventory can be defined as an inventory which keeps track of Items delivered into Inventory, which may
NOT be of asset value.
When Defining a new subinventory, the attribute Asset Subinventory remains UNCHECKED, which means that this
Subinventory is NOT an asset subinventory and hence an Expense Subinventory.

In Average Cost Organization You Can Change Expense Account At Subinventory Level
You should uncheck the asset flag for that subinventory. Make sure that the subinventory accounts are setup
correctly.
2- Asset subinventory on the other hand keeps track/record of asset items
received INTO this organization. When Defining a new subinventory, the attribute Asset Subinventory is CHECKED ,
which means that this subinventory is an asset subinventory.

The terminology of items is rather confusing from an Purchasing/Inventory point of view:
For easy understanding these will be referred to as A , B and C,
A - Expense Items
B - Inventory Expense Items
C - Inventory Asset Items
A - These items have attributes checked
a - Purchasable
b - Purchased
1) Expense Account
=================
The Expense account is has an GL account type of an EXPENSE and is defined in 3 areas:
a) Subinventory
b) Item
c) Organization
a) Subinventory - This is the GL account used to accumulate expenses for this subinventory.
The EXPENSE account of an EXPENSE subinventory is charged when you receive any item (A, B, C) into it.
The Expense account of an ASSET subinventory is charged ONLY when you receive an expense item(A).
b) Item - This account is REQUIRED if Inventory Asset Value is set to No and Inventory Item is set to Yes.
This attribute is controlled at the Organization level only.
This is the default inventory account for Inventory Expense items (B).
Oracle Purchasing debits this account when you receive an item into inventory.
only if the item is being expensed and received into the expense subinventory.
If the Purchase Order for an Inventory Expense Item (B) has a destination of Inventory AND the expense
subinventory is entered on the Purchase Order itself, then Oracle Purchasing uses THIS (Items – Expense
account) FIRST; if NOT, Oracle Purchasing uses the expense account you assigned to the subinventory.
-This account is REQUIRED if Inventory Asset Value is set to No and Inventory Item is set to NO.
This attribute is controlled at the Organization level only.
This is the default inventory account for Inventory Expense items (A).
c) Organization:
When any item is received into an Organization’s Expense Subinventory, this account (Organizations-Expense
account) is charged against. When an EXPENSE item is received into an Organizations Asset Subinventory this
(Organizations-Expense account) is charged against.
This account accumulates Encumbrance for this organization. This account is used if the Organization uses
AVERAGE costing.

We Receive Expense Item In Asset Subinventory
a) Subinventory -
This account holds the value of encumbrances against ITEMS in this subinventory. This account is used for
purchase order receipts and returns.
Navigation: Inventory resp > Subinventories > Define Subinventories
b) Item -
This account is REQUIRED if Reverse Encumbrance parameter is set to Yes
This attribute is controlled at the Organization level only.
This is the default encumbrance account Oracle Purchasing uses when an item is received. If the item
encumbrance account on an item does NOT exist, Oracle Purchasing uses the encumbrance account from the
subinventory. You encumber, or reserve against funds, when the purchase requisition or purchase order is
approved.
When you deliver into a subinventory you reverse the encumbrance.
The total receipts plus encumbrances equals your total funds spent.
Navigation: Items > Choose an org > Purchasing Attribute
c) Organization -
This encumbrance account at the organization level account recognizes the reservation of funds when a purchase
order is approved. This account is used if Organization uses AVERAGE costing.

8) Material
===========
This is an asset type account that tracks material cost. Under standard costing, these accounts are defaulted when
you define subinventories and can be overridden.
For average costing, this account holds your inventory and intransit values.
Once you perform transactions, you cannot change this account.

CHARGE ACCOUNT
==============
The account generation depends MAINLY on the destination type of the Purchase order.
Therefore:
A) If the destination type is Expense and item is an Expense item, the Charge account comes from the
Organization Items Expense account which is …
Navigation : Items > Organization Items > Purchasing attribute > Expense account
B) If the destination type is Inventory and the Item is an Inventory expense item, there exists an order, in which
the system looks for the accounts to be defined.
Subinventory Expense account (Expense subinventory) into which the item is being received.
If this Expense account is NOT defined then the system looks at Organization Items Expense account, if this is
also NOT available then The Organization parameters of the Receiving Org’s Expense account will be populated.
Navigation: Setup > Organizations > Query the Inventory Org > Organization classifications > Organization
Parameters > Costing > Expense account
C) If the destination type is Inventory and the item is an Inventory Asset item, the charge account is defaulted in
the following order:
1) Subinventory Material or Expense account of the Subinventory into the RECEIVING subinventory.
Navigation: Inventory resp > Subinventories > Define Subinventories.
If this account does NOT exist then:
2) Material Account from the Organization Parameters of the Receiving organization is populated.
Navigation: Setup > Organizations > Query the Inventory Org > Organization classifications > Organization
Parameters > Costing
For one–time or predefined items with no associated expense account, the Account Generator will be unable to
build a charge account.
In this case, you can either manually specify a charge account in your document or you can design a custom
Account Generator function to build Expense destination charge accounts based on field values like Requester.
BUDGET ACCOUNT
==============
If the destination type is Expense, the Budget account is built off of the Charge account. If the destination type is
Inventory, the Budget account is built based in the following order:
i)Encumbrance account of the subinventory into which the item is being received.
ii)Encumbrance account defined against the item
iii)Encumbrance account from the Organization Parameters of the Receiving Org.
If none of the above are available, then it copies the charge account.
ACCRUAL ACCOUNT
===============
If the destination type is Expense then the Accrual account is populated from the Purchasing Options Expense
AP accrual account.
Navigation: Purchasing Resp > Setup > Organizations > Organizations > Purchasing Options
If the destination type is Inventory the accrual account is populated from the receiving Organization’s
Organization Parameters region.
Navigation: Setup > Organizations > Query the Inventory Org > Organization Classifications > Organization
Parameters > Other accounts > Inventory AP accrual account
VARIANCE ACCOUNT
================
If the destination type is Expense then the Variance account is copied from the Charge account.
If the destination type is Inventory, then this value is populated from the Organization Parameters of the
receiving Organization.
Navigation: Setup > Organizations > Query the Inventory Org > Organization Classifications > Organization
Parameters > Other accounts > Inventory Price Variance account
For entering on purchase orders It should have purchased and purchasable flags enabled and you have to make
sure you are assigning this item to the Purchasing org which you have defined at
Oracle Purchasing > Setup > Organizations > Financial Options > 'Supplier-Purchasing' alternate region
'Inventory Organization' field.
