Item
 Item
An item is a part or service that are purchased, sold,
planned, manufactured, stocked, distributed, or
prototyped .
 Item Statuses and Attributes
Status attributes are item attributes that enable key
functionality for each item. An item status is defined by
selecting the value check boxes for the status attributes.
Both status attributes and item status can be controlled at
the item level or organization levels.

 Unit of Measure
9
 A unit of measure (UOM) is a term used along with a numeric
value, to specify the quantity of an item. For example, “each”
is a unit of measure that used to specify the number of units of
an item.
 A unit of measure class is a group of units of measure with
similar characteristics. For example, “weight” can be a unit of
measure class with units of measure such as kilogram, gram,
pound, and ounce.
 A unit of measure conversion is a mathematical relationship
between two different units of measure.

Organization Calendar
 workday calendar must be defined in Inventory if the
following are to be performed :
inventory forecasting ,reorder-point planning, available-to-promise
analysis or cycle counting.
 Inventory automatically generates a workday pattern (the
base calendar) that includes all days, including non-workdays,
between the start and end dates specified.
 workday exceptions can be assigned to the base calendar to
denote holidays, schedule maintenance, or overtime.

12
Categories and Category Sets
 Categories are logical groupings of items that have
similar characteristics.
 A category set is a distinct category grouping scheme
and consists of categories.

Inventory Controls
 With Oracle Inventory locator, revision, lot, and serial
number control can be implemented.
 Any combination of the four controls (locator, revision,
lot, and serial number) can be implemented for each
item. Inventory controls are optional for all items.
 User can choose to implement inventory controls for
specific items.

15

16
Inventory Transactions
Transaction
 A transaction is an item movement into, within, or out of
inventory. A transaction changes the quantity, location, or
cost of an item. 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 number, and serial number) enabled for items.

Inventory Enterprise Structure
19
The Oracle Applications organization models define
organizations and the relationships among them in
arbitrarily complex enterprises. This organization model
serves as the cornerstone for all of the Oracle Applications
products. It dictates how transactions flow through
different organizations and how those organizations
interact with each other.

Multi-org
 Multi-Org is a key component that provides secure
access to the different organizations of the
enterprise supports multiple organizations of the
enterprise structure in a single database.
 Operating Unit is the primary organization unit
through which user secures transaction data, but
also creates processes and reports on financial
applications data. An Operating Unit can be used to
model an autonomous business unit that performs
one or more business activities and creates
transactions with financial impact.

 Business Group
22
This is an Organization that represents
the consolidated enterprise, a major division, or
an operation company and has no accounting
impact. The Business Group partitions Human
Resources information and the Purchasing
Approval Hierarchy. If you request a list of
employees (in any module) you will see only
those employees in the Business Group of which
your Operating Unit is a part. Multiple Legal
Entities can relate to a single Business Group.

Set of Books
 Set of Books is the financial reporting
entity that secures financial entries and
account balances within the GL application.
SOB will be based on 3C’s (Currency,
Calendar, Chart of Accounts)
 A Set of Books is the highest level that
impacts accounting. A Set of Books is
associated with a single Business Group,

 The Legal Entity represents a legal
company for which the user prepares
fiscal or tax reports.
 Legal Entities are associated with a Set
of Books. One or more Legal Entities
may be associated with a single Set of
Books, and multiple Legal Entities may
be associated with a single Business
Group.

Operating Unit
– An operating unit represents an organization that uses
any Oracle subledger application, for example, Order
Management, Payables. It may be a sales office, a
division, or a department. An operating unit is associated
with a legal entity. Information is secured by operating
unit for these applications. Each user sees information
only for their operating unit.
Inventory Organizations
– An inventory organization is a facility in your enterprise
where you store and transact your inventory items. The
items in an inventory organization can be in the form of
raw materials, semi-finished goods, or finished goods for
varying periods of time.
– Inventory Organizations belong to an Operating Unit.

 Organizations
– An inventory organization is a facility in your enterprise where
you store and transact your inventory items. The items in an
inventory organization can be in the form of raw materials, semi-finished
goods, or finished goods for varying periods of time.
– A physical entity such as a manufacturing facility, warehouse,
distribution center, or a branch office.
– A logical entity such as an item master organization, which you can
use just to define items but no transactions. The item master
organization is discussed in detail in the lesson titled “Defining and
Maintaining Items Fundamentals.

29
– Subinventory
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. Therefore, you must define at least one
subinventory.
– Locator
You use locators to identify physical areas where you store
inventory items. Item quantities can be tracked by locator.
Items can also be restricted to specific locators

Organization Setup
 Before using Oracle Inventory, one or more organizations
need to be defined. Organizations represent distinct entities
in a company and can include separate manufacturing
facilities, warehouses, distribution centers, and branch
offices.
 Organizations can be classified and connected to model the
overall enterprise structure. The classifications include:
- Business Groups
- Legal Entities (LE) / Government Reporting Entities (GRE)
- Operating Units
- Inventory Organizations

Using an Item Master Organization
Item Master Organization is usually the first Inventory
organization that is set up. Its single purpose is for entering
items. It has no subinventories and is not used for inventory
transactions. Items are entered in an item master
organization and then assigned to be used in child
organizations.
Child Organization is an inventory organization with at least
one subinventory that is set up for processing inventory
transactions. It is not used to enter items. It gets a list of
items from the master.

necessary.
Item master can be common across
operating units, legal entity & SOB. It can
be optionally common across business
groups also. It is also advised that there are
no transactions carried in an item master
For forecasting, planning, available-to-

Workday Calendar
Workday calendar can be defined both in Inventory and
Bills of Material.
It defines which days are “ON” within an organization and
which shifts are available to be worked. The workday
calendar is the Oracle term for a manufacturing calendar.
The workday calendar is separate from the Oracle General
Ledger calendar.
Each organization references a workday calendar.

deviations to the workday calendar. Shift
exceptions identify deviations for a shift.
Attention: Shift exceptions take precedence
over workday exceptions.
Note: Before using a calendar it must
be built using tools>build option

Inventory Setup
61
Units of Measure
Units of measure (UOM) are defined for tracking/moving/storing
& counting items. Each item defined in Inventory must have a
primary UOM. Each transaction performed in Inventory must have
a UOM associated with the transaction quantity and a conversion
defined back to the primary UOM.
Multiple related UOMs are grouped together in a class with a
base unit of measure Inventory uses the base UOM to perform
conversions between units of measure in each class and between
two different unit of measure classes.

Item Attributes
Item attributes are fields in the item table used to store specific
characteristics of an item, such as item status, unit of measure,
revision control, etc.. These can be controlled at either the
master or the organization level.
Attributes Controlled at the Master Level
An item has the same value for such attributes in all
organizations in which it is defined.
Master-level attributes can be only updated by using the
Master Item window.
 Inventory reflects your changes in all organizations that carry
the item.

69
Item Attributes
Attributes Controlled at the Organization Level
An item may have different values for such attributes in each
organization in which it is defined.
When defining items in the item master, defaults for
organization-level attributes can be specified.
Values of organization-level attributes can be updated only
by using the Organization Item form in each organization that
carries the item.

Item Status
When defining an item, status must be given by using the Item
Status attribute. The Item Status attribute has a user defined set
of yes/no values for the status attributes. The values are applied
to the status attributes when an item status code is chosen when
defining an item.
For example, in the beginning of a product development cycle
Item Status attribute is set to Prototype with all of the status
attributes defaulted to yes except for Customer Orders Enabled.
When the item is ready the Item Status attribute is set to Active to
allow all functions for the item.

Status Control
An unlimited number of status codes can be defined by the
user.
One or more of these status codes can be assigned to an Item
for implementation on a future date. The status codes then
automatically change on their user specified effectivity dates.

77
Item Templates
Templates are defined sets of attributes that can be used
over and over to create many similar items. Templates make
initial item definition easier and more consistent.
Templates can be applied at any time after the item is
created. Multiple templates can be applied to a single item.
Templates can hold a complete set of attributes or a partial
set. If a partial set, then only values stored in the template
overwrite those on the item

78
Item Templates
Users can define their own templates or predefined templates
include:

Item Categories
A category is a logical classification of items that have similar
characteristics.
A category set is a distinct grouping scheme and consists of multiple
categories.
Some application modules, Inventory , for example require that all items are
assigned to a category. The user specifies a default category for this
purpose in each of these modules. Categories and category sets are used to
group items for various reports and programs.

81
Item Categories - Setup
Define the Flexfield structures for the item categories Flexfield.
Define categories.
Define category sets and assign the categories to the sets. Each set can
use a different Flexfield definition if required.
Assign default category sets to each functional area, like Purchasing,
Planning and Inventory
Assign items to categories. An item can be assigned to only one category
within a set.

Defining Items
With the Master Item window, items and the attributes
associated with them (such as description, unit of measure or
lot control) can be defined and updated.
Much of the information for an item is optional. Only the
information needed to maintain the item are defined.
An item cannot be defined at the Organizational level.
Oracle will automatically switch to the Master Item window
when defining a new item.
85

Defining Items
An item is a part or service that is purchased, sold, planned,
manufactured, stocked, distributed, or prototyped. The

Master Item vs. Organizational Item
Whether an item attribute is defined/maintained at the Master
level or the Organization level can be designated.
Attributes at the Master level are the same across all
organizations that the item is assigned to.
If an attribute is maintained at the Organization level, it can have
different values in each organization the item is assigned.
Some attributes can be maintained at only the Master level or the
Organizational Level. Unit of Measure should be maintained at the
Master level. Min-Max should be maintained at the organizational
level if multiple organizations are used.
88

Organization Assignment and Organization Item
Item can be enabled in all child organizations under master
organization or child organizations where the item to be used is
chosen. Inventory propagates item to all organizations in which
the item is to be defined.
Organizational attributes for item attributes which are enabled in
that organization, can be entered or changed which are enabled in
that organization. For example, go to an organization to choose
reorder point planning for an item, and then go to another
organization and choose Min-Max planning for the same item.

Defining Item Relationships
The following types of relationships can be defined for items:
Item cross-references
Substitute items
Related items
Manufacturer part numbers
Customer item numbers
Relationships between items can be defined to improve
purchasing management and item searching capabilities.
Substitute items can be received in Oracle Purchasing.

Cross–reference types
Cross–reference types define relationships between items
and entities such as old item numbers or supplier item
numbers. For example, a cross–reference type Old can be
created to track the old item numbers , and a cross-reference
type Supplier to track supplier part numbers.
multiple cross-reference types can be assigned to a single
item.

 Inventory Setup

Inventory Controls
Overview
99
With Inventory locator, revision, lot and serial
number control can be implemented
Flexibility:
- Inventory controls are optional for all items.
- any combination of the four controls
(locator, revision, lot and serial number) for
each item can be implemented.

Inventory Controls
100
Locators are optional 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.
Items can be received directly into and shipped items directly
from locators.
Locator setup

Inventory Controls
101
Locator setup
Indicates the priority for
picking items from this
locator relative to another
Subinventory to locator.
which the locator
belongs

Inventory Controls
102
A revision is a particular version of an item, bill of material,
or routing.
By using the ‘Revision control’ option while defining items
item quantities can be tracked by item revision. To do so a
revision is a must for each material transaction.
Revision control is enabled for items for which version
changes or changes that are significant enough to track but
are not affecting the function and feature of the item are
tracked .
 Revision Control item attribute cannot be changed when
an item has quantity on hand.
Revision Control

Inventory Controls
103
When defining Revision numbers letters, numbers and
characters such as A, A1, 2B, etc can be used.
Letters are always in upper case and numbers may include
decimals.
To ensure that revisions sort properly, decimals should
always be followed by a number.
Revisions are sorted according to ASCII rules.
Each revision must be greater than the previous revision.
For example, revision 10 cannot be used after revision 9
because, according to ASCII sorting, 10 precedes 9.
Revision Control

Inventory Controls
104
Lot Control
 Inventory provides complete lot number support for
inventory transactions.
A lot identifies a specific batch of an item that is
received and stored in an organization.
Lot control is a technique for enforcing the use of lot
numbers during material transactions, thus enabling the
tracking of batches of items throughout their movement
in and out of inventory.
If Lot Control is turned on for an item, the lot number
must be indicated to perform a transaction.

Inventory Controls
105
Lot Control
Lot Control must be turned on at the item level.
lot numbers must be assigned whenever items under
lot control are received into inventory.
An inventory receipt can be split in to several lots, as
necessary.
Quantities can be added to existing lot numbers.
Inventory will generate default lot numbers by using the
default lot number generation method which is configured
in the Organization Parameters window during setup.

Inventory Controls
Lot Control
Lot can have an
expiration date by
assigning a number of
lot control shelf life days
or by entering a lot
expiration date.
The expiration date
controls the availability
of the lot for transacting
and planning purposes.
106

Inventory Controls
107
Lot Control
An Expired Lot:
is not considered as on-hand supply when 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.
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.

Inventory Controls
Lot Control
Disabled Lots:
Disabling a lot only prevents it
from appearing in a list of values
when performing receipt
transactions.
108

Inventory Controls
Lot Control
A Disabled Lot:
is included in available to transact, available to promise and
available to reserve calculations.
is included as on-hand supply when performing min-max,
reorder point or MRP planning calculations.
is included as on-hand in all inquiries and reports, including
inventory valuation reports.
can be transacted with Inventory functions and the
Transaction Open Interface.
can be reserved.
109

Inventory Controls
Serial Control
A serial number is an alphanumeric piece of information
assigned to an individual unit of an item. A serialized unit is a
combination of an item number and a serial number.
Individual units of items can be tracked by using serial
numbers. Serial number control is a system technique for
enforcing the use of serial numbers during a material
transaction. Serial numbers can be used to track items over
which a very tight control is to be maintained.
One serial number per unit of an item can be assigned
110

Inventory Controls
Serial Control
Generating Serial Numbers
Depending on how Serial Number Control is set at the Master
Item level will determine how serial numbers are generated.
If No Control is specified as the serial number control type, no
serial number control will be enforced.
If Predefined is specified as the serial number control type,
serial numbers for that item must be predefined.
If control At inventory receipt or At sales order issue, optionally
serial numbers for the item can be predefined.
111

Inventory Controls
Serial Control
Generating Serial Numbers
Inventory uses the starting
serial number prefix and the
starting serial number
specified in the Item screen .
The process of generating
serial numbers is done
through a concurrent report.
This does not assign numbers
to units in inventory, it simply
reserves serial numbers for an
item, for later use.

116
System Defined Transaction Types
System defined transaction
type codes for different
inventory transactions. Each
transaction type is linked to
source type and action

117
User Defined Transaction Types
Use user defined terminology to
define transaction type. The
transaction type can be only
linked to pre seeded values of
source type and action

 Miscellaneous Transactions- This transaction is used to do
adjustments in stock due to damage, obsolescence, issuing
items for R & D or issuing track able expense items.
 Subinventory Transfer- This transaction is used to transfer
goods from one stockroom to another with in the same inventory
organization.
 Inter ORG Transfers- This transaction is used to transfer
goods from one inventory organization to another.
118
Types of Inventory Transactions

Types of Inventory Transactions
 Receiving Transactions- This transaction is used to move
goods from receiving dock to specified subinventory and
locator.
 Sales Issue- This transaction is used to move goods from
pick subinventory to staged subinventory.
 WIP Issue- This transaction is used to issue materials
against production orders.

Inter Org Transfer
• We can perform inter–organization transfers as direct or
in transit shipments.
Goods that have departed from the dispatch , loading , or shipping point but have not yet arrived at the receipt , offloading , or delivery point . Also called
in transit inventory or stock in transit .
We can transfer one or more items in a single
transaction. We can also transfer partial quantities of the
same item to different subinventories and locators in a
single transaction.
• We can also transfer expense and asset items from one
organization to another using in transit inventory

128
You need to define shipping network before doing inter
organization transfer

Inter Org Transfer

129
Inter Org Transfer
Direct Inter–organization Transfers
 We can use a direct inter–organization transfer
to move inventory directly from a shipping
organization to a destination organization.
 The validity of a transfer transaction depends on
the controls we have defined in both the shipping
and destination organizations for the items we
want to transfer.

130
Inter Org Transfer
Inter–Organization Transfers via Intransit Inventory
We usually transfer material to intransit inventory
when transportation time is significant. When we
perform the transfer transaction, we do not need
to specify the delivery location. We only need to
enter the subinventory we are shipping from, a
shipment number, the freight information, and,
depending on the inter–organization transfer
charge that applies between the organizations, a
percentage of the transaction value or a discrete
amount that Oracle Inventory uses to compute
transfer charges.

131

Move Orders
Overview Of Move Orders
•Move orders are requests for the movement of
material within a single organization.
• Manage all material requisition and request
processes within an organization by manually or
automatically creating, approving, and transacting a
move order.
• Used for movement of material within a warehouse
or facility for purposes like replenishment, material
storage relocations, and quality handling.

 Cycle Counting
Cycle counting is the periodic counting of individual items
throughout the year. Count items of higher value more
frequently than items of lower value. The differences between
the system quantity and counted quantity are adjusted to
correct the system quantity and inventory value in the system.
 Physical inventory
A physical inventory is a periodic reconciliation of system on-hand
balances with physical counts in inventory. It is normally
done once in a year as a part of financial auditing requirement
to verify inventory assets on balance sheet. Production is
stopped at the time of carrying out this activity.

Inventory Planning
Planning methods:
 Performing reorder-point planning
 Performing Min-Max planning
 Subinventory replenishment planning
 Creating and executing Kanban cards

Min-max planning is a method of determining when and how
much to order based on user-defined minimum and maximum
inventory levels. In Oracle Inventory you can perform min-max
planning at two levels:
Organization: To perform organization-level min-max planning
for an item, you must specify organization-level minimum and
maximum quantities.
Subinventory: To perform subinventory-level min-max planning
for an item, you must specify subinventory-level minimum and
maximum quantities.
