Overview
This white paper covers the Internal Material Transfer process flow. The Internal Material
Transfer feature has been delivered across multiple releases in Oracle Fusion Applications. This
document is segmented by product release. The releases covered in this white paper include
Release 11, Release 12, and Release 13. The process flows in each release include both the
setup as well as transactional tasks needed to complete the process flow.

It is recommended that users of this document first determine the Internal Material Transfer flow
they would like to perform. Once the appropriate flow has been identified, use this white paper to
review the necessary setup and transactional steps to complete the flow.

Internal Material Transfer Process Flow Overview (R11)


Internal material requests are requests made for goods and services to be fulfilled internally. The
internal material request and fulfillment process can range from simple processes to extremely
complex processes, spanning multiple legal entities, across geographies and involving multiple
shipment points.

This flow is designed to show the Internal Material Transfer Flow and the various products and
user roles involved in the flow. A transfer order can be created from various sources such as min-
max planning, back-to-back, planning, and spreadsheet upload. In this flow, we will focus on the
transfer order source min-max planning. Internal material transfers will be created based on min-
max planning requirements. Min-max organization level planning is setup at the item-organization
level in Product Management.

The process will begin with the Product Manager creating a new item and assigning min-max
planning attributes. The item will be assigned to both organizations V1 and M1. The destination
organization V1 will receive a transfer order shipment from organization M1. In other words,
organization M1 is the source organization fulfilling the internal material requirements of
organization V1.

In order for organization M1 to transfer material to organization V1, on-hand inventory must be
available to transact in organization M1. The Warehouse Manage will create an inventory
transaction type of miscellaneous receipt to receive material into organization M1. When creating

4 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


the transaction, the Warehouse Manager will also enter the item cost details associated with the
transaction.

The next step in the process involves the Cost Accountant user role setting up cost profiles. Once
the cost profile has been configured, the Cost Accountant will run the transfer transactions from
inventory to costing scheduled process. This process will transfer inventory transactions to the
cost management application to perform the necessary item costing. The Cost Accountant will
then create the cost accounting distributions and review the item costs.

The Supply Chain Application Administrator will perform several setup tasks to facilitate the
transfer and receipt of material between the two organizations. The setup task Manage
Interorganization Parameters defines the origin organization, destination organization, transfer
type and whether or not a transfer order is required. The Supply Chain Application Administrator
will also define item transaction defaults which indicate which subinventory the item will be stored
in upon receipt.

The next step in the process is to run the min-max planning report. The Warehouse Manager for
organization V1 will run the min-max planning report. Once min-max planning has completed, a
supply request will be sent to Supply Chain Orchestration. Supply Chain Orchestration provides
document generation rules to determine if a transfer order should be created and also provides a
consolidated view of supply and demand.

The Supply Chain Operations Manager user role will run the ‘Process Supply Chain Orchestration
Interface’ scheduled process. When running this process, Oracle Fusion Inventory Management
is specified as the supply request system. The Supply Chain Operations Manager will then
navigate to the Manage Supply Lines page to see the supply order number, document number,
and supply type.

The next step in the process involves the Warehouse Manager viewing the transfer order in the
Manage Transfer Orders page. The transfer order will display details such as source
organization, destination organization, and transaction origin type. The transfer order will be
interfaced to shipping for picking and shipping. The transfer order page also provides the ability to
view the associated shipments and receipts.

5 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


When the Warehouse Manager has validated the transfer order, they will then create a pick wave
to pick release the transfer order. They will enter the order type and transfer order number to
release the transfer order. The Warehouse Manager can now proceed to the Manage Shipments
page and ship confirm the transfer order.

The final step in the process is receiving the transfer order in the destination organization and
performing the put away into inventory. The Warehouse Manager assigned to the destination
organization will navigate to the receipts work area and receive the transfer order. The
Warehouse Manager will perform the put away and then navigate to the manage item quantities
page and confirm the item quantity has been increased by the quantity indicated on the transfer
order receipt.

Generate Internal Transfer Recommendations

Internal material transfers can be generated from several sources including back-to-back orders,
planning, spreadsheet upload, and min-max planning. In this flow we will use min-max planning as
the source.
The first step in the process flow is to create an item and enable it for min-max planning. The job
role responsible for item creation is the ‘Product Manager’.
When you create an item you first need to specify the Organization and Item Class. Then select
the relevant templates. Once the create item fields have been entered, click the ‘OK’ button to
close the create item dialog window.

23 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


Internal Material Transfer Process Flow Overview (R12)
Internal material requests are requests used to order product that will be fulfilled
internally. The internal material request and fulfillment process can range from simple
processes to extremely complex processes, spanning multiple legal entities, across
geographies and involving multiple shipment points.
The demo will show new functionality in Release 12 that allows users to create and
process internal material transfers that are expensed at the destination. In addition , the
demo will show how additional transfer order charges can be added on to transfer order
lines allowing sites to identify special charges such as storage, special handling, or
transportation charges specific to items and activity for a given transfer order line.
This demo flow is designed to show the Internal Material Transfer Flow and the various
products and user roles involved in the flow. A transfer order can be created from various
sources such as min-max planning, back-to-back supply for sales orders, supply planning,
spreadsheet upload or from third party applications interfaced using the supply request
web service. In this demo flow, we will focus on internal material transfer requests
sourced from the spreadsheet upload.
The scenario is a use case where an external system is being used to manage building
maintenance. Material used for this maintenance is stored at an internal warehouse
location. The user would have the option to feed these internal material transfers into the
Inventory Management Cloud using either the supply request web service or the supply
order file based import spreadsheet template. This demo will use the spreadsheet
template but all functionality provided in the spreadsheet template is also available using
the supply order web service.

Demo Setup Preparation


In order to process this demo a number of setup steps must be performed prior to
executing the actual process flow. These setup steps include a number of setup steps that
have not changed between Release 11 and Release 12 and a couple that are new for
Release 12. These setup steps will not be included in the demo but are provided in the
appendix for reference purposes.

Demo Process Flow


The demo use case is a scenario where a third party facilities management system is used
to schedule work and identify parts required for maintenance of facilities within the
organization. The facilities management system would send internal material transfer
requests to get the parts needed from an internal inventory warehouse in preparation for
work activity.

24 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


The demo starts with the supply order spreadsheet template filled out with an internal
material transfer order line for a replacement item for equipment going through
maintenance activity for organization V1. The order will be placed against the internal
inventory kept in a warehouse managed by organization M1. The warehouse will ship
the item to the V1 location and the item will be expensed to organization V1. There will
be an additional charge of $25 for “Handling” of this material by the warehouse.

The spreadsheet template will be loaded into the system by the Supply Chain Operations
Manager role using the Supply Chain Orchestration File Import and Export UI followed
by the “Load Interface File for Import” scheduled process.
Once the spreadsheet is loaded the “Process Supply Chain Orchestration Interface”
scheduled process is initiated to perform the processing required to generate the transfer
orders. The Supply Chain Operations Manager will then navigate to the Manage Supply
Lines UI to see the supply order number, document number, and supply type.
The next step in the demo involves the Warehouse Manager viewing the transfer order in
the Manage Transfer Orders UI. The transfer order will display details such as source
organization, destination organization, destination type and transfer order price. In the
demo flow, the transfer order will show as being interfaced to shipping identifying the
fact that the order has been created in the Shipping system and is ready for picking and
shipping activity. The Warehouse Manager can make changes to the transfer order using
this UI. The price of the item shown when viewing the transfer order shows a total price
for the transfer order that includes both the item’s cost plus the additional charges. The
transfer order UI also provides the ability to view the associated shipments and receipts.
When the Warehouse Manager has validated the transfer order, they will then create a
pick wave to pick release the transfer order. They will enter the order type and transfer
order number to release the transfer order. The pick wave process will allocate the
material, create a pick slip, and automatically pick confirm the transfer order. The
Warehouse Manager can then proceed to the Manage Shipments UI to review the
shipping charges and ship-confirm the transfer order.
The next step in the process flow is to receive the transfer order in the destination
organization. The product is being shipped to the receiving department at organization
V1 so the Warehouse Manager at V1 will navigate to the receipts work area and receive
the transfer order. Since the item is being expensed it will be delivered directly to the
requester by the receiving department.
The transfer order history recapping the shipping and receiving events can then be
viewed using the Manage Transfer Order UI. The Transfer Order UI will show that the
order is now closed and that the requested quantity has been shipped and received.

DEMO COMPLETE

Appendix: Setup Steps for Demo for R12


In order to process this demo a number of setup steps must be performed prior to
executing the actual process flow. These setup steps include a number of setup steps that
have not changed between Release 11 and Release 12 and a couple that are new for
Release 12.
Setup steps that have not changed between Release 11 and Release 12:
• Create Item: Setup of the item definition for the item being transferred. In this
case the inventory will be shipped out of the source organization M1 and
delivered to an internal customer and destination location belonging to
organization M1.
• On-Hand Quantity and Cost: Add on-hand quantity and associated costs to
the item in the source organization M1.
• Setup Cost Profile: Setup the cost profile for the item.
• Cost Initial On Hand Quantity: Costing must be run to process the cost of the
new on-hand quantity and establish and initial cost that can be picked up and
viewed on the internal material transfer.

40 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


• In-Transit Time: Setup the in-transit time for the shipping method used to
ship the material from the M1 organization to the destination ship-to location.
New Setup Setups in Release 12:
• Setup Interorganization Parameters: The Interorganization parameters
between the M1 and V1 organization must be setup. While this setup was
also required in Release 11 a new parameter called “Receipt Required at
Expense Destination” was added in Release 12. This indicator is used to
define whether or not an expense destination transfer order is to be received
manually by a user at the destination location. If a receipt is required then the
order can be viewed as an in-transit quantity for Costing purposes and a
receipt will be required at the destination. If a receipt is not required then the
system will post this activity automatically at the time of shipment. For this
demo the receipt should be required for the expense destination transfers
between the M1 and V1 organizations.
• Setup Shipping Cost Types: Shipping cost types must be setup in order to
user the new Release 12 additional shipping charges feature.

Create Item

The first setup step that needs to be performed is to create an item. The job role
responsible for item creation is the ‘Product Manager’.

When you create an item you first need to specify the Organization and Item Class. Then
select the relevant templates. Once the create item fields have been entered, click the
‘OK’ button to close the create item dialog window.

51 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


Internal Material Transfer Process Flow Overview (R13)
Internal material transfer (IMT) requests are requests used to order product that will be
fulfilled internally. The internal material request and associated fulfillment processes can
range from fairly simple processing to the more complex situations, spanning multiple
legal entities, across geographies and involving multiple shipment points.
The demonstration scripts in this document are designed to show the process flow of
internal material transfers (IMTs) and the various products and user roles involved in the
flow for new IMT sources that were added in Release 13. Prior to Release 13 a transfer
order could be created from various sources such as min-max planning, back-to-back
supply for sales orders, supply planning, spreadsheet upload or from third party
applications interfaced using the supply request web service. In Release 13 new features
were added allowing for the creation of internal material transfers from IMT requisition
lines created in Self Service Procurement as well as from IMTs created from the Manage
Item Quantities UI in Inventory.
The first two demo scripts provide use cases showing details on how transfer orders can
be created from Self-Service Procurement. The first demo shows how simple entering an
IMT requisition line for an expensed item can be for a casual user. The second demo
script then shows how additional functionality is available for the more sophisticated self-
service procurement users.
The third demo script provides a feel of how an inventory manager can now create ad-
hoc transfer orders on-demand directly from the Inventory system.
The scenarios for the three demonstration scripts are as follows:
• Demo One: Casual User Internal Material Transfer Requisition Demo
Process Flow
In this demo the intent is to show how simple the IMT process flow can be
allowing the casual user to create an internal material transfer requisition
line for an expensed item and have it be delivered to them with minimal
interaction with the system.
• Demo Two: Sophisticated User Internal Material Transfer Requisition
Demo Process Flow
In this demo the intent is to work with a bit more sophisticated user that is
allowed to override many of the defaults that the casual user would not be
able to enter onto an IMT requisition line when ordering an expensed
item. This user is also allowed to change the transfer order after it has
been created and will do a receipt of the goods using self service receiving
once it is delivered.
• Demo Three: Inventory Manager Requesting Ad-hoc Internal Material
Transfer Outside of Normal Replenishment Cycle

52 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


In this demo an inventory manager needs to replenish inventory for an
item that is out of stock in-between the normal Min-Max or Planning
replenishment cycle. This demonstration shows how an inventory
manager can generate an ad-hoc IMT request using the Request Supply
Order UI that is accessed from the Manage Item Quantities page.

Demo Setup Preparation


In order to process these demo scripts a number of setup steps must be performed prior to
executing the actual process flows. These setup steps include a number of setups that
have not changed between Release 12 and Release 13 and some that are new for Release
13. These setup steps will not be included in the demo but are provided in the appendix
for reference purposes.

Demo One: Casual User Internal Material Transfer Requisition Process Flow

This demo use case is a scenario where a casual user is requesting an item that is stocked
in inventory at a warehouse within their same organization. The user does not work with
the internal systems very often so they want to be able to simply enter a requisition to
have the item delivered to their cubical.

The demo will show how an IMT requisition line can be created with very little
interaction required from the user. Since the item will be delivered from an internal
inventory warehouse within the requesters own organization and expensed to that user an
intra-organization expense destination transfer order will be generated to deliver the item
directly to the requester’s cubicle.

The requisition will be created using the shopping page in self service procurement.
Once submitted from the shopping cart it will go through approval processing. When it is
approved the system will automatically create a transfer order. The associated transfer
order number will be posted to the requisition allowing the requester to drill into the
order to view its progress.

The transfer order will be picked and shipped in Shipping. Note that there were no
changes to the processing flows in shipping in Release 13 so for this demo a pick wave
will be created using the auto-pick and auto-ship features. In an actual production
environment users have the same choices as always allowing them to pick and ship as
individual steps, pick and then automatically ship, automatically pick and manually ship
or to automatically pick and ship as is being done in this demo script.
Since we are showing a process flow that requires the least amount of interaction from
the casual requester the system is setup to not require a receipt when the item is

53 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


delivered. The inter-subinventory parameters have been setup to not require a receipt for
expense destination transfer orders. The item will be shipped and automatically
“delivered” in the system. In this case the shipping department would physically send
this directly to the requester’s cubicle completing the process.

Quick Entry of Internal Material Transfer Requisition Line

The first step in the demo flow is to create the IMT requisition line. This will be done by
selecting the item from the shopping page in the Purchase Requisitions work area. Sign
in with privileges to create a requisition in order to perform this step.

Review Delivered Requisition and Transfer Order

Since we are showing a process flow that requires the least amount of interaction from
the casual requester for this demo the system is setup to not require a receipt when the
item is delivered. The intersubinventory parameter has been setup to not require a receipt
for expense destination transfer orders. The item will be shipped and automatically
“delivered” in the system. In this case the shipping department would physically send
this directly to the requesters location completing the process.

In this step the delivered requisition will be viewed along with the shipment details
associated with the transfer order showing that the order has been shipped and
automatically received and delivered in the system.

Sign back in as the requester to perform this step in the demo.

60 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


Demo Two: Sophisticated User Internal Material Transfer Requisition Demo
Process Flow

This demo use case is a scenario where a more sophisticated user is requesting an item
that is stocked in inventory at a warehouse within their same organization. A good
example would be a user in an engineering department that orders parts out of internal
inventory on regular basis.

This user is allowed to override many of the fields on a requisition line and has authority
to source the material from warehouses outside the current organization when necessary
to secure parts needed for prototypes.

The demo will show how an IMT requisition line can be created using the Create
Requisition Line page. Since the user has the ability to source product from multiple
warehouses the Select Supply Request page will be used to review the availability of
inventory at different warehouses prior to selecting one as the source of the internal
material transfer.

Once the requisition is created and approved the associated transfer order will be
automatically created. The details of the approved requisition and associated transfer
order can then be viewed and edited if changes are necessary to quantities or the
requested delivery date.

The transfer order will be picked and shipped in Shipping. Note that there were no
changes to the processing flows in shipping in Release 13 so for this demo a pick wave
will be created using the auto-pick and auto-ship features. In an actual production
environment users have the same choices as always allowing them to pick and ship as
individual steps, perform a pick step and then automatically ship, automatically pick and
manually ship or to automatically pick and ship as is being done in this demo script.
Once shipped the requested item will be delivered to the requester who will use self
service receiving to acknowledge the receipt. The completed requisition and transfer
order will then be reviewed showing the shipment and receipt history.

Enter Requisition Line

The first step in the demo flow is to create the IMT requisition line. This will be done by
entering the requisition details using the Enter Requisition Line page accessed from the
Purchase Requisitions work area. Sign in with privileges to create a requisition in order
to perform this step.

Navigation: Procurement>Purchase Requisitions>More Tasks>Enter Requisition Line

61 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


• Enter Item ID: IMT_DEMO_ITEM01
• Note the following:
o Quantity: Defaults to 1. That is good for this demo.
o Price: Defaults to $160 for this item. Price is not updateable. Defaults
depending on how SFO is setup. In this demo the item will default to the
Items cost at the source organization.
o Source Organization: Defaults to same org as the destination
organization for ”Expense” destination transfers. For “Inventory”
destination transfers it defaults to the highest priority source organization.
Source organization can be changed as will be done in this demo in the
steps below.
o Source Subinventory: Can be entered to force the item to be sourced from
a specific source subinventory.
o Deliver-to Location was defaulted from the requisitioner’s preferences.
o Destination Type is “Expense”. This was defaulted from the
requisitioner’s preferences. It can be changed between “Inventory” and
“Expense” destination.
o Billing distributions will default from the requisitioner’s preferences.
They can be changed and Additional distributions can be added.
• Change the Source Organization:
o Click on the “Source Organization” link. The Select Supply Request page
is presented showing a list of valid source organization in ranked order.

o Status field is shown at both the header and line levels. Header status and
line status can be open, closed or canceled.
o Fulfillment status shows the transfer order is “Awaiting Fulfillment”.
o Requested Delivery Date and Quantity can be changed. Note that the
quantity can only be decreased it cannot be increased.
o Quantity fields show an up to date status of requested quantity, shipped
quantity, received quantity and delivered quantity.
o Billing Details line shows an up to date status of quantity requested and
delivered for each distribution line. Hidden fields here also provide
visibility into the budget date and budget status of individual distribution
lines if budgetary control and encumbrance accounting are being used
(not being used in this demo).

Ship Transfer Order

The transfer order will be picked and shipped in Shipping. Note that there were no
changes to the processing flows in shipping in Release 13 so for this demo a pick wave
will be created using the auto-pick and auto-ship features. In an actual production
environment users have the same choices as always allowing them to pick and ship as
individual steps, pick and then automatically ship, automatically pick and manually ship
or to automatically pick and ship as is being done in this demo script.

When the order is shipped the transfer order will be updated as being shipped and a
transfer order inventory transaction will be generated to record the fact the item has been
issued out of the source inventory.

If a receipt is not required then this transaction will be used by Costing to record both the
issue and the expensed delivery at the destination organization. If the receipt is required
than an inbound shipment is created in the receiving system allowing the item to be
received and delivered by user entered responses at the user location using either the self-
service receiving pages or the warehouse receiving pages. In this demo the
interorganzation parameters between organization M1 and M2 have the “receipt
required” option checked. So, the next step in this demo will be to use Self-Service
Receiving pages to receive and deliver the item.

The steps required to ship the item are noted below. The Warehouse Manager sign-on for
the M1 warehouse will be used for this step.

Receive Items

Since the “Receipt Required” option has been set on the Interorganization parameters for
the M1/M2 organization pair the next step in the process flow is to receive the item once
it is delivered to the requester. Note that the receipt can be entered in either self-service
receiving pages or the warehouse receiving pages. In this demo the self-service receiving
pages will be used and the item will be received in the system by the requester.

Note that in order to use the self-service receiving pages to receive a requisition sourced
item the “receipt routing” option in the interorganization parameters between the M1 and
M2 organization must be set to “Direct”. If the “receipt routing” option is set to
“Standard” or “Inspection” then the warehouse receiving pages must be used to receive
the item.

Demo Three: Inventory Manager Requesting Ad-hoc Internal Material
Transfer Outside of Normal Replenishment Cycle

In this demo an inventory manager needs to replenish inventory for an item that is out of
stock in-between the normal Min-Max or Planning replenishment cycle. This
demonstration shows how an inventory manager can generate an ad-hoc IMT request
using the Create Supply Request page that is accessed from the Manage Item Quantities
page.
This demo starts with the warehouse manager going into the Manage Item Quantities
page and initiating the Request Transfer Order action from the Action menu. This action
will bring up the Create Supply Request page. The Create Supply Request page will be
used to create the transfer order. For this demo an “inventory” destination
interorganization transfer order will be created transferring needed inventory to the M2
organization from the M1 organization.
Once the supply request has been entered the associated transfer order will be viewed
using the Manage Transfer Orders page. This page allows the user to view and edit
transfer order details.
Next, the transfer order will be picked and shipped in Shipping. Note that there were no
changes to the processing flows in shipping in Release 13 so for this demo a pick wave
will be created using the auto-pick and auto-ship features. In an actual production
environment users have the same choices as always allowing them to pick and ship as
individual steps, perform a pick step and then automatically ship, automatically pick and
manually ship or to automatically pick and ship as is being done in this demo script.
Once shipped the requested item will be delivered to the M2 warehouse where Receiving
personnel will use the warehouse receiving pages to receive the item and put it away to a
subinventory.

The completed transfer order will then be reviewed showing the shipment and receipt
history.

Create Inventory Destination Internal Material Transfer

In this step the user will use the Create Supply Request page to create an internal material
transfer.
The user will go into the Manage Item Quantities page and select the Request Transfer
Order action from the Action menu. This action will bring up the Create Supply Request
page.

73 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


The Create Supply Request page allows a user to create both inventory and expense
destination internal material transfers. Both Interorganization transfers (between
organizations) and intraorganization transfers (between subinventories in a single
organization) can be created using this page.
The Create Supply Request page also allows the user to view source organizations ranked
in priority order and select the source organization of choice using the Select Supply
Source popup that is available by selecting the “Select Supply Source” button. Source
organizations can be ranked based on rules setup in GOP or if the item is not a planned
item based on the “distance” parameter setup in the Interorganization parameters for the
from/to organization pair.
For this demo an item that is not planned is being used so the ranking of the source
organizations will be determined by the setup for the Interorganization parameters
distance attribute for the M1 to M2 organization pair.
An “inventory” destination interorganization transfer order will be created using the
Create Supply Request page transferring needed inventory to the M2 organization from
the M1 organization.
To perform this step you will need to be signed in using an inventory manger role with
the “Select Supply Source” privilege and the “Create Supply Source” privilege.

Navigation: Inventory Management>Inventory>Manage Item Quantities

• Select the “Request Transfer Order” action from the Action menu. This will

This step will show how the new transfer order can be viewed and changed.
The Manage Transfer Order page will be used to bring up the transfer order. This page
can be used to view the status of the transfer order. It can also be used to change or
cancel the transfer order.

To perform this step you will need to be signed in using an inventory manger role.

Navigation: Inventory Management>Inventory>Manage Transfer Orders

• Enter search criteria to search for transfer order as follows:


o Enter Destination Organization: M2
o Enter Transaction Origin Type: “Inventory” (Note that transfer orders
sourced from the Manage Item Quantities page in Inventory will carry an

o Enter Item: IMT_DEMO_ITEM01
o Click on Search button. The new transfer order will display in the search
results.
o Click on the Transfer Order link to bring up the Edit Transfer Order page.
• Once in the Edit Transfer Orders page note the following:
o Transfer Order Number – Make a note of this since it will be used in the
next steps in the demo.
o Transfer order can be canceled by Clicking on the “Cancel Line” button.
The order can be canceled up until the point where any quantity is
shipped. Once a partial quantity is shipped the order cannot be canceled
but the quantity can be reduced down to the previously shipped quantity.

Ship Transfer Order

The transfer order will be picked and shipped in Shipping. Note that there were no
changes to the processing flows in shipping in Release 13 so for this demo a pick wave
will be created using the auto-pick and auto-ship features. In an actual production
environment users have the same choices as always allowing them to pick and ship as
individual steps, pick and then automatically ship, automatically pick and manually ship
or to automatically pick and ship as is being done in this demo script.

When the order is shipped the transfer order will be updated as being shipped and a
transfer order inventory transaction will be generated to record the fact the item has been
issued out of the source inventory.

77 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


If the transfer type in the Interorganization parameters for the from/to organization pair is
“Direct” than the order will not go in-transit and an inventory transaction will also be
generated to record the receipt and delivery of the item in the destination organization.
If the transfer type in the Interorganization parameters for the from/to organization pair is
“Intransit” than the order will go in-transit and receiving steps will be performed in the
destination organization. In this demo the interorganzation parameters between
organization M1 and M2 have the Transfer Type set to “Intransit”. So, the steps
following this shipping step will be to use the warehouse receiving pages to receive and
deliver the item.

The steps required to ship the item are noted below. The Shipping Manager sign-on for
the M1 warehouse will be used for this step.

Navigation: Inventory Management>Shipments>Create Pick Wave

• Click on “Show More”


• Under the “Demand Selection” tab enter the following
o Order Type: Transfer Order
o Order: Enter Transfer Order: 179033
o Clear out the From/To Scheduled Ship Date and the From/To Requested
Date
• Under the Options tab make sure the “Autoconfirm picks” checkbox is checked
and an auto-ship ship confirm rule is entered in the Ship Confirm Rule field.
• Click on the “Release Now” button to initiate the pick wave process.
• A Confirmation popup will be shown noting that 1 pick slip and 1 pick was
generated. Click “OK”.

Receive Items

Since the transfer type option has been set to “Intransit” on the interorganization
parameters for the M1/M2 organization pair the next step in the process flow is to
receive the item once it has been delivered to the M2 warehouse.
Note that for this demo the “Receipt Routing” parameter on the interorganization
parameters for the M1/M2 organization pair is set to “Direct” so a one step receiving
process will be used to receive and put away the item in a single step. If the “receipt
routing” option is set to “Standard” or “Inspection” then a multi-step receiving process
would be used.
Sign-in as the receiving clerk in the M2 organization to perform this step.

DEMO THREE COMPLETE

83 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


Appendix: Setup Steps for Demos for R13
In order to process this demo a number of setup steps must be performed prior to
executing the actual process flow. These setup steps include a number of steps that have
not changed between Release 12 and Release 13 as well as a few that are new for Release
13.
Setup steps that have not changed between Release 12 and Release 13:
• Create Item: Setup of the item definition for the item being transferred. In this
case the inventory will be shipped out of the source organization M1 and
delivered to an internal customer and destination location belonging to
organization M1.
• On-Hand Quantity and Cost: Add on-hand quantity and associated costs to
the item in the source organization M1.
• Setup Cost Profile: Setup the cost profile for the item.
• Cost Initial On Hand Quantity: Costing must be run to process the cost of the
new on-hand quantity and establish and initial cost that can be picked up and
viewed on the internal material transfer.
• In-Transit Time: Setup the in-transit time for the shipping method used to
ship the material from the M1 organization to the destination ship-to location.
• Intersubinventory Parameters: Setup intersubinventory parameters that are
used to identify parameters used when processing intraorgnization transfer
orders. When using Inventory destination transfer orders the parameters are
setup for a given from/to subinvnentory pair. When using expense destination
transfer orders the parameters are setup based on the “from” subinventory.

New Setups in Release 13:


• Setup Interorganization Parameters: The Interorganization parameters
between the M1 and V1 organization must be setup. While this setup was
also required in Release 12 there are a couple of differences in Release 13.
o Receipt Routing for Expense Destination Transfers – A new “Receipt
Routing” field has been added to control the default receipt routing for
expense destination transfers different than that used for inventory
destination transfers.
o Distance Parameters – While the distance parameters existed as
interorganization parameters in Release 12 they were not used in the
system. In Release 13 the distance parameters will be used to help rank
the priority of a from/to organization pair when creating internal material
transfers from Self-Service Procurement or when creating supply requests

84 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


from the Create Supply Request UI in Inventory. This method of ranking
the from/to organization pair is used for items that are not planned. If the
item is planned then the ranking is performed using rules setup in GOP.
This demo will use items that are not planned so the distance parameters
will be setup to be used when ranking the from/to organizations pairs.
• Setups Required to Create Internal Material Transfers from Self Service
Procurement:
o Activate Self-Service Procurement – Internal Material Transfers Feature:
In order to use the internal material transfers on requisition lines the
“Internal Material Transfers” feature must be activated from the Self-
Service Procurement functional area for the Procurement offering.
o Configure Requisitioning Business Function: The “Enable supply
availability details for internal transfers” option must be activated if the
available quantity is needed on the Create Supply Request UI that is
initiated from the Edit Requisition page. For this demo this option will be
activated.
o Default User Preferences: The default user preferences provide default
values that are automatically defaulted to the requisition.
o Other Setups Impacting Behavior when Creating IMTs from Self Service
Procurement:
§ Item Setup: Item must be setup to all internal material transfers.
The “Internally Transferable” and “Transfer Orders Enabled”
attributes must be set to “Yes”.
§ Item Cost: Item cost must be established for an item. The cost is
necessary for approval processing as well as for budgetary control
and encumbrance accounting functionality if implemented.
§ Interorganization Parameters: Interorganization parameters
between “from” and “to” organizations must be setup when
performing interorganization transfers.
§ Intersubinventory Parameters: Intersubinventory parameters must
be setup for “from” and “to” subinventories when performing
intraorganization transfers.
• If both the “from” and “to” subinventories are entered
when the requisition line is created then an error will be
provided at that time if intersubinventory parameters are
not setup between the two subinventories.
• If the “from” subinventory is left blank when the
requisition is created then the subinventory will be decided

85 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


at the time the order is picked. In that case the following
will happen depending on whether the transfer is an
inventory destination or expense destination transfer:
o If it is an inventory destination transfer the
intersubinventory parameter must be setup
otherwise an error will be given at the time the
order is shipped.
o If it is an expense destination transfer and the
intersubinventory parameter does not exist for the
source subinventory then it will default with the
“receipt required at expense destination” indicator
set to “off” so no receipt will be required at the
destination location.

Create Item

The first setup step that needs to be performed is to create an item. The job role
responsible for item creation is the ‘Product Manager’.

When you create an item you first need to specify the Organization and Item Class. Then
select the relevant templates. Once the create item fields have been entered, click the
‘OK’ button to close the create item dialog window.

Navigation: Product Management > Product Information Management > Create Item

86 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW

Enter the Item and Item Description.

87 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


Figure 40: Enter Item and Item Description

Next, enable the item for transfer orders. This is required for both the source and
destination organizations when ordering items on internal material transfer order
requisition lines.

• Click the Specifications tab


• Click the Sales and Order Management specifications link
• Select “Yes” on the “Internally Transferable” and “Transfer Orders Enabled”
attributes.
• Set the “Check ATP” attribute to “None”. This is required because in this demo
we will not be using GOP to select supply sources. This attribute works in
conjunction with the “Planning Method” attribute explained in the next
paragraph below.

Figure 41: Enter Item – Sales and Order Management Specifications

88 | ORACLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS FLOW


Next, set the item to “Not Planned”. The item is setup as “Not Planned” in this demo
since we will not be using GOP to provide sourcing rules in the Select Source
Organization UI. If the item is set to “Not Planned” then the ranking of organizations
provided in this UI will default to using a ranking based on the “Distance” parameter
setup for the “from” and “to” organization pair in the Manage Interorganization
Parameters UI. If the item is set to one of the planned options then the Select Source
Organization UI will utilize GOP to display rankings based on pre-set sourcing rules
setup in GOP. For this demo we will use the ranking based on the Manage
Interorganization Parameters UI settings.

Note that the “Check ATP” attribute must also be set to “None” in order to use rankings
based on the Interorganization Parameters UI settings when using the Select Supply
Source UI (as identified in previous paragraph above when setting item attributes under
the Sales and Order Management specifications).

• Click the Planning specifications link


• Select “Not Planned” in the “Planning Method” attribute under the “MPS MRP
Planning” heading.

Setup Initial On-Hand Balance and Cost

For this demo on-hand quantities will be setup in both the M1 and M2 organizations. A
quantity of 1 will be setup in the M2 organization so it is available for a intra-
organization transfer in the first part of this demonstration. A quantity of 1000 will be
setup in the M1 organization so it is available for an Interorganization transfer between
the M1 and M2 organizations in the second and third parts of this demonstration.

First, use an inventory transaction type of miscellaneous receipt to add on-hand quantity
in inventory organization M1. A cost will be added at this point to establish an initial
cost for the item that will be viewed on the internal material transfer.

Sign out and sign in as Warehouse Manager for inventory organization M1.

$150 was entered for the cost component type item price in both the M1 and M2
organizations. In the screen shots below you can see that Costing applied an additional
overhead to the cost of the item to come to a total cost of $160 in the M2 organization
and $210 in the M1 organization. This will vary based on demo systems but is pointed
out here to note that overhead rates are applied to the cost of the item so it will not be the
same as that entered when the item was initially received.

Verify that the deliver to location that will be used in the demo has been setup in the
Manage Transit Time UI. If it is not there it must be added. In the case of the first demo
provided in this document the item will be sent from the M2 organization to the location
provided in the requisition user’s preferences. There must be a relationship setup
between these two locations using the Manage Transfer Time UI.
In the case of the second and third demo steps the item will ship from internal origin type
M1 – Seattle Mfg and be delivered to the internal destination type of M2 – Boston
Operations. Search to verify that the setup for this combination exists. If it does not exist
it must be added. See example below.

Setup Interorganization Parameters

Interorganization parameters need to be setup between the M1 and M2 organizations in


order to process the second and third demos. For these demos the Transfer Type will be
set to “In Transit” and the “Receipt Required” indicator will be checked. This will force
a receiving process at the M2 organization for any “Inventory” or “Expense” destination
transfer activity. The Receipt Routing for both expense and inventory destination
transfers will be set to “Direct”. This allows for a one step receiving process where the
receipt and put away steps are done in a single step at receiving time.

In addition, these two demos will show a priority list of source orgs to choose from when
creating interorganization internal material transfers. The priorities of the source
organizations available for sourcing to the M2 organization is established using the
distance parameter set for the from/to organization pairs. This can be setup using the
actual distance value between the organizations or it can be setup just by giving a
sequential number to identify the priorities using that same distance value.

In this demo a sequential number (1, 2, 3) has been setup making V1 the top priority
source organization, M1 the second and M3 the third. (Note that the UOM must be the
same for all. Also note that if no value is entered then the priority of that org pair will
default to the end of the priority list. Since we are only concerned about showing V1, M1
and M3 source orgs in this demo that is all that is populated with a distance value.)
