Receipt to Issue
Oracle Inventory uses the receipt to issue process to manage your inventory. When inventory
arrives in your warehouse you receive it. After you receive inventory, you can transfer it
within your organization or to another organization. Finally, you can issue material out of
Oracle Inventory.

Inventory Organizations
An inventory organization is a facility where you store and transact items. Before you can use
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:
A physical entity such as a manufacturing facility, warehouse, or distribution center.
A logical entity such as an item master organization, which you use to define items.
An inventory organization may have the following attributes:
An inventory organization can have its own location, ledger, costing method, workday
calendar, and items.
An inventory organization can share one or more of these characteristics with other
organizations.

A
Inventory Organization Structure

An inventory organization, where you store and transact items can have one or more
subinventories. Subinventories are unique physical or logical separations of material inventory,
such as raw material inventory, finished goods inventory, or defective goods inventory. In
Oracle Inventory, all material within an organization is held in a subinventory. You must
define at least one subinventory for every organization. You can track item quantities by
subinventory as well as restrict items to specific subinventories.
The subinventories in an inventory organization may be made up of one or more locators. You
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
Multi-Organization structure enables you to model multiple business units in an enterprise
using a single installation of Oracle applications. In a multi-organization architecture you can
keep data secure and separate from each business unit.
The following are the benefits of multi-organization structure:
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.
Secure access to data so users can access only relevant information.
You can define a organizational model that best suits your business requirements.
In Inventory, you can fulfill any Sales Order or Purchase Order regardless of them being
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
different Operating Unit other than the one to which the Inventory organization is
assigned.

Setting Up Locations
Define information describing the physical locations of employees and organizations.
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.

for any organization that is not an item master organization. The item master organization
should be the first inventory organization you create.
Note- The Manufacturing Partner Organization functionality is only available in Japan, Taiwan
and Korea.
Products and Features
You can enable specific products on the Inventory Parameters tab. These include Oracle
Warehouse Management, Oracle Process Execution, and Oracle Enterprise Asset Management.
If you have Oracle Warehouse Management installed, then you can enable the Warehouse
Control System.

Revision, Lot, Serial, and LPN Parameters

You determine the starting revision for all items in the organization when you define your
inventory organization. You can also choose to set lot control and serial control parameters at
the organization level. Revision control is discussed in the Defining and Maintaining Items
module. Lot control and serial control is discussed in the Lot and Serial Control module.
LPN Generation Options
If you have Oracle Warehouse Management installed, and you are working with a Warehouse
Management enabled organization, you can define License Plate Number (LPN) Generating
Options. LPNs must be unique across organizations. Setting the parameters on the Revision,
Lot, Serial, And LPN tab enables the system to generate LPNs on demand, or through a
concurrent request. As long as the number is unique, Oracle Warehouse Management also
enables you to generate your own LPNs.

Locator Control
Locators are structures within subinventories. Locators are the third level in the enterprise
structuring scheme of Oracle Inventory. Locators may represent rows, aisles, or bins in
warehouses. You can transact items into and out of locators. You can restrict the life of
locators as well as define locator dimensions.

Subinventory-Locator Relationship
You can structure Oracle Inventory in such a way that some of the subinventories and items
have locator control while others do not. If locator control is turned on at the item level, you
must specify a locator when transacting the item into or out of a subinventory. If locator
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
control types are:
None
Prespecified
Dynamic entry
Item Level
You cannot use the same locator names within any two subinventories within the same
organization.
For more information about setting up locator control see Defining Stock Locators, Oracle
Inventory Users Guide.

Interorganization Shipping Networks

An interorganization shipping network describes the relationships and accounting information
between a shipping organization and a destination organization. You must define a shipping
network between two organizations before you can transfer material between organizations.
When you setup a shipping network you must select a transfer type. The choices are intransit
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
destination organization once the material arrives in order to retrieve it. If you choose direct,
Oracle Inventory moves the material directly to the destination organization. However, for
both, you can determine default receipt routing and whether internal orders are required to
transfer material.
If you choose intransit as the transfer type you can determine:
Shipping methods
GL accounts to use in transit
Material ownership during transfers
Planning lead-times
Transfer charges

Shipping methods are the way you ship material. When you create a shipping method, you
must enable it before you can use it in a shipping network. If you disable a shipping method
you cannot use it in a shipping network.

Organization Access
This controls access to organizations based on the user responsibility assigned to a user by the
system administrator.
When implemented for one user responsibility, it is then required for all other user
responsibilities accessing the same organization.

Copying Inventory Organizations

You can create new inventory organizations or copy an existing organization. You must
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
copy only organizations within the same operating unit. The system creates the new
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.
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:
Organization definition
Shipping networks
Hierarchy assignments
Bills of material and bills of material parameters
Departments, resources, and routings
Item information
e
l
c
a
r
O
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 subelement, Process Manufacturing Enabled, Oracle Warehouse Management enabled, and costsharing entities.
For more information about copying inventory organizations see Copy Inventory Organization

Organization Hierarchy
Organization hierarchies enable you to group together organizations and perform operations
across all organizations within a hierarchy. You can perform the following operations across
all organizations within an organization hierarchy:
Assign items to organizations: You can assign an item to any organization that belongs to
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.
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 organizationlevel item attributes from one item to other organizations that use the item, and copy item
attributes from one item to another within an organization.
View item information: You can view on-hand quantity information as well as item where
used information for organizations.
Open and close accounting periods: You can open and close accounting periods.
Purge transactions: You can purge transactions.

When you set up your organizations you need to determine the organization type. For
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
and Oracle Process Management in the same organization. You should not however, use
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
use the Warehouse Control system. If this organization transacts business with Japan, Taiwan,
or Korea you can enable Chargeable Subcontracting for the organization. You must consider
all of this information before you create items or process transactions.

Unit of Measure
You define units of measure for tracking, moving, storing, and counting items.
Primary Unit of Measure
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
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
measure and there is no constant conversion between the two unit of measures (UOMs). For
example, chickens can be tracked in pounds and eaches.
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
eaches and liters.

Unit of Measure Class

Unit of measure classes represent groups of units of measure with similar characteristics. 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
measure should represent the other units of measure in the class, and be one of the smaller
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.

Units of Measure Conversions

A unit of measure conversion is a mathematical relationship between two different units of
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,
you must define conversions between the base units of measure in different UOM classes.

Lot-Level Unit of Measure Conversions

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
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
balance. If you create a lot-specific conversion for a lot with on-hand quantities, you can
automatically update the quantities in the system to more accurately reflect the on-hand
quantity.

Organization Parameter Setup

If you set the Auto Create Lot UOM Conversion parameter to Yes or User confirmation, then
the system automatically creates lot-specific unit of measure conversions for items under dual
unit of measure control across the organization. The system bases the conversion on lot
quantities that you receive in the transactional unit of measure, and creates a conversion
between the transactional unit of measure and the secondary unit of measure.

You can use a maximum of five decimal places for an individual unit of measure within
Oracle Inventory.
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
digits. Other Oracle Applications support different decimal precision. As a result of
the decimal precision mismatch, transactions another Oracle Application passes may
be rounded when processed by Inventory. If the transaction quantity is rounded to
zero, Inventory does not process the transaction. It is therefore suggested that the base
unit of measure for an item is set up such that transaction quantities in the base unit of
measure not require greater than 5 digits of decimal precision. For example, in some
industries such as the gold jewellery industry, you may need a more granular level of
control than 5 decimal places. You need to carefully determine the base unit of
measure for each unit of measure class.
Primary units of measure cannot be changed on items after they are saved.

Item Master Organization

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.
There is no functional or technical difference between the item master organization and other
organizations; however, it is recommended that you limit the item master to an item definition
organization.
You should also define one item master organization per implementation. You can use the
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
organization with another item master organization. You cannot copy items across item master
organizations.
Defining the Item Master Organization
You create the item master organization in the same way that you create other inventory
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.
e

You assign child organizations to the item master organization.

- Note that the item master uses itself as its item master.

Item Status
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
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.
You can assign one or more pending statuses for an item, to be implemented on future dates.
These statuses become effective on their assigned effective dates. You can view the status
history of an item if needed.

Unit of Measure Attributes

You use the units of measure attributes to track your items in the warehouse. The following are
the unit of measure attributes and their definitions:
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
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
secondary unit of measure. If the system tracks the item by the primary and secondary unit
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
Defaulting: This attribute controls the behavior of dual unit of measure controlled items.
- Fixed: 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
converts the quantity to the secondary unit of measure and displays both quantities
- 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
e
l
c
a
r
O

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
Oracle Inventory has several predefined templates that you can use to define and update items
or you can create your own templates.
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
can predefine templates with relatively few attributes enabled because you can apply more than
one template to define one item.
Attributes in Templates
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
the template. The order in which templates are applied is extremely important.
Further Item Templates Help
For more information about item templates see Item Templates, Oracle Inventory Users
Guide.

Organization Assignment and Organization Items

You can enable an item in all child organizations under your master organization or choose
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
item attributes. For example, you can choose reorder point planning in one organization and
min-max planning in another organization for the same item.

Master-Level Control
An attribute you maintain at the master level has identical values across all organizations that
use the item.
Organization-Level Control
An attribute you maintain at the organization level may have different values for each
organization that uses it.
Attribute Control
Some attributes can be maintained at only the master level or the organizational Level. Units of
measure are controlled at the master level. If you are using multiple organizations, then you
should maintain min-max planning at the organization level.
Technical Note
Master-Level Control
For example, suppose you want to ensure that items defined in two organizations are
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.
Organization-Level Control
e

c
a
r
O

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
A revision is a particular version of an item, bill of material, or routing. Use the revision
control to track item quantities by item revision and specify a revision for each material
transaction.
Enable revision control for items you must track version changes or changes that are
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
revision control is controlled at the Master Item level, the check for on-hand quantity is against
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.
Use letters, numbers, and characters such as A, A1, 2B, and so on to define revision numbers.
Letters are always in upper case and numbers may include decimals. To ensure revisions sort
properly, decimals should always be followed by a number. Revisions are sorted according to
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

You can assign items to a given subinventory. Assigning items to a subinventory does not
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,
but you can only issue and receive restricted items to those particular subinventories. You
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
zero quantity cycle counts for an item, and to specify items for an ABC analysis performed at
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

A category is a logical classification of items that have similar characteristics. A category set
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
multiple category sets. You can assign a category to a category set either at the time you
define a category set or at the time you assign an item to the category.
Default Category Sets
When you install Oracle Inventory, you must assign a default category set to each of the
following functional areas functional areas: Inventory, Purchasing, Order Management,
Costing, Engineering, and Planning. Product Line Accounting is seeded with the Inventory
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
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
functional area.

Assigning Items to Categories

When you enable an item in a functional area, the item is assigned to the default (mandatory)
category set and default category of the functional area. You can override the category set's
default category. In addition, you can manually assign your item to an unlimited number of
category sets. You may optionally assign an item to more than one category within a category
set based on the category set definition.

Item Catalogs
To define your catalog, you set up as many distinct item catalog groups as you need to partition
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
group, you define values for the descriptive elements that apply to your item. For example, an
item catalog group called mug could have a descriptive element called material. Possible
values for material might be glass or ceramic.
Descriptive Elements
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
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
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
description when assign an item to an item catalog group.

You should set all costing attributes at the organizational level because costing is most
commonly done at organizational level. WIP requires costing at org level to set up WIP
accounting classes. Costing of individual items is specific to individual organizations because
of location and other considerations.
Costing Method
Costing method is chosen and set at the inventory organization level. Within a set of books, an
enterprise can have multiple cost methods specified at each organization level. For example, a
company may have one average cost org and one standard cost org. Available costing methods
are as follows:
Standard
Weighted
Average
FIFO
LIFO

Lot Control Overview

A lot can represent a quantity of an item that shares the same specifications, one or more
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
may divide a lot of items from a supplier into child lots to reflect differences in quality
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
provides complete lot number support for inventory transactions. You can enable lot control
for specific items in your inventory. For items under lot control, you assign lot numbers to each
receipt, and thereafter reference the same lots each time you perform material transactions.
This enables you to have tight control over lot controlled items in your inventory.
All of the material produced in a manufacturing batch may be assigned a lot number. For
example, you can create a manufacturing batch of penicillin and assign it parent lot number
A100. You can then use parent lot A100 to create child lot A100_01 to make pills, child lot
A100_02 to create emulsion, and child lot A100_03 to create capsules. Each child lot has the
same ingredients as the original parent lot A100, but they are in a different format.

Child Lots
A child lot is a subdivision of a lot that you can use if you produce a lot over a period of time,
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
material under child lot control, you enter the child lot as the lot number. The system also
maintains a genealogy relationship between the parent lot and the child lot.

Setting up Lot Control

Organization Parameters
You use the Organization Parameters window to specify whether lot numbers should be
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
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
Inventory checks the lot number uniqueness control to generate lot number defaults.
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
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
Organization Parameters window.
If you do not want Oracle Inventory to automatically generate lot number defaults for you, you
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
Guide.

Setting up Lot Control

Item Attributes
You can establish lot control for an item when you define it. You can select either No control
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
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
cannot change lot control when open internal orders or inter-org intransit shipments exist. A
lot number is a combination of an alphanumeric prefix and a numeric suffix. When you define
an item, you can specify the starting lot prefix and the starting lot number. Oracle Inventory
uses this information to generate defaults during transaction entry.
Shelf Life Days
Shelf life is the amount of time that an item can reside in inventory before it expires. When
defining items under lot control, you can choose no control, a certain number of item shelf life
days from the date that you receive the item, or a user-defined expiration date for each lot. The
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

You must assign lot numbers when you receive items under lot control. You can also add
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
Organization Parameters window to determine lot numbers. You also enter the lot prefix and
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.
You can either use the lot master to generate new lot numbers or assign lot numbers when you
perform transactions. When you create the lot, the system determines the lot origination type.
If you create the lot on the lot master, the origination type is lot master. If you generate the lot
while performing a transaction, the origination type is Inventory. See Item Lots and Assigning
Lots Within Transactions, Oracle Inventory Users Guide for more information.
Maintaining Lot Information
You can update the expiration date of lots for items under lot expiration (shelflife) control.
You can view all lots that you created in your current organization and the supplier lot
information that is associated with the lots.

Expired Lots
You can assign lot control shelf life days, or enter a lot expiration date to determine when a lot
expires. The expiration date controls the availability of the lot for transacting and planning
purposes. An expired lot:
Is not considered as on-hand supply when you are performing min-max, reorder point, or
MRP planning calculations.
Cannot be reserved for a date beyond the expiration date.
Can be transacted and is included in on-hand quantities.
Is included in all inquiries and reports, including inventory valuation reports
Is included in a cycle count and count entry and adjustments are allowed
Is included in a physical inventory and tag entry and adjustments are allowed
Lot Expiration Action
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.

values for lot numbers. A disabled lot:
Is included in available to transact, available to promise, and available to reserve
calculations
Is included as on-hand supply when you are performing min-max, reorder point or MRP
planning calculations
Is included as on-hand in all inquiries and reports, including inventory valuation report

Serial Numbers Overview

A serial number is an alphanumeric piece of information you assign to an individual unit of an
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
serial numbers to track items over which you want to maintain very tight control. One serial
number is assigned to per unit of an item.
For more information on setting up serial number control, refer to the online help:
(Help) Oracle Manufacturing Applications > Oracle Inventory > Items > Lot and Serial
Number Control > Setting Up Serial Number Control

Serial Number Generation

How you set up serial number control at the master item level determines serial number
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,
then you must predefine serial numbers for that item. If you select At inventory receipt or At
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
specify in the Item window to load the number of predefined serial numbers you request. You
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
does not assign numbers to units in inventory, it simply reserves specific serial numbers for an
item for later use.
For more information on setting up serial number control, refer to the online help:
(Help) Oracle Manufacturing Applications > Oracle Inventory > Items > Lot and Serial
Number Control > Setting Up Serial Number Control

Serial Uniqueness
You use the Organization Parameters window to choose a type of serial number uniqueness for
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:
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
example if you assign serial number SN100 to item A, you cannot assign serial number
SN100 to any other instance of item A in any organization. This also includes CTO items
derived from base model A. However you could receive item B with serial number
SN100 in any organization.
Within an Organization: In addition to the Within Inventory Items restrictions, the same
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
organization. You can, however, receive item B with the serial number SN100 in any
other organization.

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
Lot genealogy tracks the relationship between lots and provides lot traceability that results
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
suppliers informs you that they supplied you with contaminated sugar, which needs to be
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.
You can use lot genealogy to view the work order details for a WIP job, material and pending
transactions, and quality results for both WIP jobs and process batches. Oracle Process
Manufacturing does not support serial numbers or serial genealogy.

Serial Genealogy
Serial genealogy tracks the transaction and multilevel composition history of any serialcontrolled 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
genealogy appears in a graphical display, and you can trace an assembly down through all of
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
you to track and regulate supplier performance and quality.
You can view the transaction history of the serial across all organizations within an operating
unit and view the current organization where the serial resides. When issuing serialized
components to serial controlled assemblies, you must associate the component serial number
with the assembly serial number. If the component has a supply type of Push, the association
occurs at WIP Issue. If the component has a supply type of Operation Pull, the association
occurs at WIP Move. If the component has a supply type of Assembly Pull, the association
occurs at WIP Completion. If the item is under lot control, then you can also view the lot
genealogy for the same item. When you view the genealogy of the item, the system lists the
item number, followed by the lot number, and finally the serial number.

Transactions
A transaction is an item movement into, within, or out of inventory. A transaction changes the
quantity, location, planning responsibility, or cost of an item. Oracle Inventory supports a
number of predefined and user-defined transaction types. Every material movement has a
corresponding set of accounting transactions that Oracle Inventory automatically generates. All
transactions validate the various controls (revision, locator, lot, dual unit of measure, and serial
number) you enable for your items.

Move Orders
Move orders are requests for the movement of material within a single organization. They
formalize the process to request the movement of material within a warehouse or facility for
purposes like replenishment, material storage relocations, and quality handling. Move orders
are generated manually or automatically depending on the source type. To request a material
transfer between organizations requires an internal requisition.
Move Order Requisitions
A move order requisition is a manually generated request for a move order. It is available for
subinventory transfers and account transfers. Once a requisition has been approved, it becomes
a move order. These requests can optionally go through a workflow-based approval process
before becoming move orders. For more information about move order requisitions see
Generating Move Order Requisitions, Oracle Inventory Users Guide.

Oracle Inventory uses a transaction source type with a transaction action to uniquely identify
the type of transaction performed. You can define additional source types. Predefined
transaction types are as follows:

Account
Move Order
Internal Order
Standard Cost Update
Internal Requisition
Sales Order
Cycle Count
Periodic Cost Update
Physical Inventory

a PO receipt transaction, the transaction source type is Purchase Order and the actual PO
number is the source.

Transaction Types
A transaction type is the combination of a transaction source type and a transaction action. It is
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
calculations for ABC analysis or forecasting. A number of transaction types are predefined in
Oracle Inventory. You can also create custom transaction types.
You use the Transaction Types window to define additional transaction types to customize
transaction entry. A user-defined transaction type is a combination of a user-defined
transaction source type and a predefined transaction action. For example, if you frequently
donate items to charity, you might want to define a transaction source type called charity and a
transaction type called Issue to Charity. In this case, the transaction action would be Issue
from Stores. You would then use the Miscellaneous Transactions window to actually issue an
item to charity, using the Issue to Charity transaction type. You would also specify the actual
charity to which you are issuing, such as Goodwill, and the expense account that specifies the
source Goodwill. For more information about transaction types see Transaction Types, Oracle

Running Transaction Managers

Cost Transaction Manager
The material cost transaction manager costs material transactions in Oracle Inventory and
Oracle Work in Process in the background.
Lot Move Transaction Manager
The resource cost transaction manager processes resource transactions in Oracle Work in
Process and resource transactions you import from barcode readers, payroll systems, time
cards, routing sheets, and custom data entry forms using the Open Resource Transaction
Interface.
Material Transaction Manager
The material transaction manager immediately executes a material transaction after you save
your changes in a transaction window. By starting the transaction manager, you can determine
how to execute transactions: immediately through immediate concurrent request submissions,
or through periodic concurrent request submissions. You define this transaction mode for
individual transaction windows in the Personal Profile Values window.

Creating Picking Rules

You can create picking rules that enable you determine which material to pick and the order in
which material is picked for sales orders, process manufacturing batches, or work in process
jobs. Oracle Inventory reviews the picking criteria order and the options for each criterion.
You can create rules based on the following restrictions:
Lot shelf life days
Single lot - controls whether the system can allocate multiple lots for a particular demand
Partial lot controls whether the system can allocate quantities of a lot less than the total
lot quantity available
Customer specification matching to require quality specification matching
You can also create sort criteria which determines which material is picked first:
Lot
Revision
Subinventory
Locator
e
l
c
a
r
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.

Aliases
An account alias is an easily recognized name or label representing a general ledger account
number. You can view, report, and reserve against an account alias. During a transaction, you
can use the account alias instead of an account number to refer to the account.
You must create an inventory account alias for each GL account if you wish to use an alias for
that GL account in inventory transactions. Oracle Inventory does not honor GL account aliases.

Accounting Periods
Oracle Inventory uses accounting periods to group material and work in process transactions
for accounting purposes. An accounting period must be open for you to complete a transaction;
that is, the transaction date you enter must fall within the beginning and ending dates you
define for the period.
Closing Accounting Periods
You can close the earliest accounting period with a status of Open or Error. An automatic
general ledger transfer is processed when you close an accounting period.

Material Shortage Alerts and Notifications

A material shortage occurs whenever outstanding demand exceeds the available quantity for
incoming supply. During a receipt transaction, Oracle Inventory checks to see if the material
received is needed elsewhere in the organization. If a shortage exists, the system notifies you
either by a realtime material shortage alert or a workflowbased notification. Set up shortage
parameters to enable the system to send material shortage alerts and notifications. For more
information see Defining Shortage Parameters, Oracle Inventory Users Guide.
The following receipt transaction windows can generate shortage alerts and notifications.
Receipts
Receiving Transactions
Miscellaneous Transactions
WIP Material Transactions
WIP Completions
WorkOrderless Completions - This occurs only if you have used workflow notification
for the transaction.
Shortage Alerts
e
l
c
a
r
O
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
For Oracle Inventory to automatically create move orders when using minmax planning or
replenishment counting, you must define the subinventory source type at one of the following
levels:
Subinventory
Item
To automatically create move orders when using the kanban system, you must define the
subinventory source type at the pull sequence level.
Approval Process Parameters
Approval is required only for requisition move orders. Other move orders created by shipping
or replenishment processes are approved automatically. To require planner approval, you
define two parameters at the organization level:
Move Order Timeout Period
Move Order Timeout Action
e
l
c
a
r
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
Define a planner for the item in the General Planning tabbed region of the Items window.
Designate a Planner
You designate a planner in the Master Item window when you define an item. If you do not
designate a planner, the move order is automatically approved.
Notification List
When you approve or reject the move order, the system sends a courtesy e-mail to the
Engineering Change Order (ECO) approval list (which is used here as a notification list). It is
attached to the move order source and destination subinventory. You do not need to have
Oracle Engineering to use this feature.
Define Picking Rules
Move orders use the standard picking rules of Oracle Inventory to source material. In a WMS
organization, move orders use Oracle Warehouse Management picking rules.
Locator Defaults
e
l
c
a
r
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.
