Unit of Measure
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.

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
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.

Inventory Enterprise Structure

Business Group
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.

Company Confidential

Inventory Enterprise Structure

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

Inventory Setup
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

Inventory Setup
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.

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.

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.

Inventory Controls
Overview
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.

Company Confidential

Inventory Controls

Locator setup
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.

Inventory Controls
Revision Control
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
102

Control item attribute cannot be changed when an item has quantity on hand.

Company Confidential

Inventory Controls
Revision Control
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.
103
Company Confidential

Inventory Controls
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.
104
Company Confidential

Inventory Controls
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.
105
Company Confidential

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.

Company Confidential

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
Company Confidential

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
Company Confidential

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.

We can perform interorganization 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

Inventory Transactions Inter Org Transfer

Direct Interorganization Transfers We can use a direct interorganization 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.

129
Company Confidential

Inventory Transactions Inter Org Transfer

InterOrganization 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 interorganization 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.

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 onhand 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.
