applications and form-based applications.

· HTML based applications are like any other HTML portals and navigation through these
applications is very similar to navigation on any web based applications like bank
portals, air ticketing portal.

definition. After you define an item in the Item Master, you can assign it to any number of other
organizations

Templates are defined sets of attributes that can be used to create items. Templates make
initial item definition easier. There are Standard Templates defined by Oracle and we can create
Custom ones as well. The standards templates which are widely used are Purchase Items,
Finished Goods, and Non-Stocked Items Etc.

Min-Max Planning

Min-max planning is used to maintain inventory levels for all of your items or selected items.
Here we can specify minimum and maximum inventory levels for our items. When the inventory
level for an item (on-hand quantities plus quantities on order) drops below the minimum, or
Maximum we need to Run the report and do the planning accordingly

The Planning Level can be done in Both Ways

1. Organization Level

When you min-max plan at the organization level, Oracle Inventory looks at inventory balances,
purchase orders and WIP jobs as supply and sales order and WIP job component requirements
as demand.

To use min-max planning at the organization level you must set the item attributes used by min-
max planning. You can start by setting the Inventory Planning Method item attribute to Min-max
planning. You establish your minimum and maximum levels used in the calculation using the
Min-Max Minimum Quantity and the Min-Max Maximum Quantity item attributes in the Planning
tab of the Item Definition Form

OPTCL Sourcing Training Document - 140 -


Items which are Min Max Planned Must have the Inventory Planning Method as “Min – Max
Planned” and should be give Minimum /Maximum Quantities as shown above

OPTCL Sourcing Training Document - 141 -


2. Subinventory Level

When you min-max plan at the sub inventory level, Oracle Inventory looks at inventory
balances, purchase order and internal order supply, and optionally, sales order demand for a
single sub inventory only. In addition, rather than using item attribute planning modifiers, Oracle
Inventory uses values and parameters set at the item/sub inventory level

Physical Inventory

(PROCESS TO BE DISCUSSED AND FINALIZED)

Physical inventory can be performed, whenever there is a need to verify the accuracy of system on-hand
quantities. This can be done for entire organization or for particular sub inventories within an organization.
Accurate system on-hand quantities are essential for managing supply & demand, maintaining high
service levels, effective planning, minimizing inventory investment and for audit purpose.
Physical inventory and cycle counting can both be a part of annual program to manage and
improve inventory record accuracy

OPTCL Sourcing Training Document - 154 -


Physical inventory integrates with Oracle Cost Management and Oracle General Ledger. If there
is a quantity discrepancy for items, Inventory derives the item costs from Cost management and
posts the inventory value changes to General Ledger.

Steps Involved in Doing a Physical Inventory

1. Define Physical Inventory


2. Take a Snapshot of system On–hand quantities
3. Generate Physical Inventory Tags
4. Enter Counts
5. Approve or Reject Physical Inventory Adjustments
6. Post Adjustments

· Login as

Ø Responsibility: OPTCL India Inventory Management


Ø Navigation: Countingà Physical Inventory -> Define Physical Inventory

OPTCL Sourcing Training Document - 155 -


Steps to Create a Physical inventory
1. Enter a unique physical inventory name in the name field
2. Select approval requirements for the adjustment. Options available are
i. Always: Requires approval for all physical inventory adjustments. Adjustments
program cannot be run until all the adjustments are approved.
ii. If out of tolerance: Quantity and / or Value adjustment tolerances can be entered.
Adjustments exceeding tolerances must be approved before running the adjustment
program. (

iii. Never: Allow any adjustment to post without approval.

3. Enter positive and negative approval tolerances


4. Select the scope of physical inventory
i. Determines whether the physical inventory is for all sub inventories of the
organization or for one or more specific sub inventories. Enter only quantity-tracked
sub inventories
5. . Indicate whether to allow dynamic entry of tags

OPTCL Sourcing Training Document - 156 -


6. Determines whether manually created tags can be entered. If the option is not to allow
dynamic tag entry all tags must generated before the use

7. To take Snapshot of system on–hand quantities follow the navigation


Counting -> Physical Inventory -> Define Physical Inventory -> Choose the
Snapshot button

8. Snapshot must be completed before generating the tags. After taking the snapshot,
system will no longer allow to update header information of the physical inventory.
The snapshot saves all item on–hand quantities and costs and uses this information as the basis
for all physical inventory adjustments rather than the current on-hand quantity. System allows
resuming transaction activities even before running the adjustments program for the physical
inventory .Therefore need to procedurally coordinate snapshot of physical inventory with actual
counting and ensure that no transaction activity occurs in a particular location until adjustments
are launched and posted.
