Oracle Apps Inventory - Shipping Organization Parameters


   To define inventory parameters:

1. Navigate to the Organization Parameters window.
2. Select the Inventory Parameters tabbed region.
3. Enter an organization code. See: Creating an Organization.
4. Select an Item Master organization.
Oracle Inventory only defines items in the Item Master organization of the organization from which you enter the Items window.

5. Select a workday calendar. This is required when Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Oracle Supply Chain Planning is installed. See: Creating a Workday Calendar.
6. Check the Process Enabled checkbox if the organization is a Process Manufacturing organization. (Note: This feature will be supported in a future release. It will only be enabled if Oracle Process Manufacturing has been fully installed.)
7. Select a process organization to which you want to relate this inventory organization. (Note: This feature will be supported in a future release. It will only be enabled if Oracle Process Manufacturing has been fully installed.)
8. Optionally, select a demand class.
Demand classes segregate scheduled demand and production into groups, allowing you to track and consume those groups independently. Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Oracle Supply Chain Planning uses this demand class during forecast consumption, and shipment and production relief. See: Demand Classes.
9. In the Move Order Timeout Period field, enter the number of days a move order requisition can wait for approval.
The workflow approval process sends a notification to the item planner when a move order requisition requires approval. After the first timeout period, if the recipient has not approved or rejected the order, a reminder notice is sent. After the second timeout period, the order is automatically approved or rejected, depending on whether you select Approve automatically or Reject automatically in the Move Order Timeout Action field. If you want to bypass the move order approval process and automatically approve move order requisitions, enter 0 days in the Move Order Timeout Period field and select Approve automatically in the Move Order Timeout Action field. See: Overview of Move Orders.
10. Select a move order timeout action:
Approve automatically: After the second timeout period, move order requisitions are automatically approved. Select this option and set the Move Order Timeout Period to 0 if you want to bypass the move order approval process and automatically approve move order requisitions.
Reject automatically: After the second timeout period, move order requisitions are automatically rejected.
11. Select a locator control option:
None: Inventory transactions within this organization do not require locator information.
Prespecified only: Inventory transactions within this organization require a valid, predefined locator for each item.
Dynamic entry allowed: Inventory transactions within this organization require a locator for each item. You can choose a valid, predefined locator, or define a locator dynamically at the time of transaction.
Determined at subinventory level: Inventory transactions use locator control information that you define at the subinventory level.
12. Indicate whether to allow negative balances.
Determines whether inventory transactions can drive the inventory balance of an item negative.
Attention: If insufficient quantity on hand exists in a supply subinventory to satisfy backflush demand, Oracle Work in Process forces the supply subinventory balance negative, ignoring this option setting.
13. Indicate whether this organization is an Oracle Warehouse Management enabled organization. You can use WMS features such as LPNs, task management, warehouse execution rules and cost groups in this organization. See: Warehouse Setup.
Locator control must be enabled in order to enable WMS. Once this has been enabled and transactions have been entered in this organization, this box cannot be unchecked.
14. Indicate whether this organization is an Oracle Enterprise Asset Management enabled Organization. See: Warehouse Setup.
15. Enter a total load weight and unit of measure for this organization.
16. Enter a total volume and unit of measure for this organization.

Defining Costing Information

arrow icon   To define costing parameters and accounts:

1. Navigate to the Organization Parameters window.
2. Select the Costing Information tabbed region.
The costing organization that controls the costs in your current organization and the costing method are displayed. These fields are enterable only when you use this window for the first time during system setup. The costing organization can be the current organization itself (thus, it controls its own costs), or it can be the Item Master organization.
See: Cost Structure, Standard Costing, and Average Costing.
3. When the Costing Method is Average, you can enter the Average Rates Cost Type. See: Defining Cost Types.
4. Indicate whether all transactions are posted in detail to the general ledger.
Caution: Transferring detail transaction distributions to the general ledger increases general ledger posting times due to the number of records created.
5. Indicate whether to reverse encumbrance entry upon receipt in inventory.
You normally select this option if you use encumbrances with Oracle Purchasing. See: Overview of Receipt Accounting.
6. For standard costing, select a material sub-element that this organization uses as a default when you define item costs. For average costing, the default material sub-element you select can be used for cost collection when Project Cost Collection Enabled is set.
Attention: Since a material sub-element is organization specific you must define the organization first, then the sub-element, then the organization parameters. When you first define your parameters you can leave this field blank, save your work, then return to this field later to specify a default material sub-element.
7. Indicate the default cost group for the organization. This will default into the Default Cost Group field for each subinventory. If the WMS cost group rules engine fails to find a cost group, this cost group will be used. See: Overview of the WMS Rules Engine. This feature is available if you have Oracle Warehouse Management installed, and you are working with a WMS enabled organization. See: Defining Default Inventory Parameters.
8. Define default Valuation Account details. See: Valuation Accounts and Defining Subinventories.

Across items: Enforce unique lot numbers for items across all organizations.
None: Unique lot numbers are not required.
3. Select an option for lot number generation.
User-defined: Enter user-defined lot numbers when you receive items.
At organization level: Define the starting prefix and lot number information for items using the values you enter in the Prefix, Zero Pad Suffix, and Total Length fields. When you receive items, this information is used to automatically generate lot numbers for your items.
At item level: Define the starting lot number prefix and the starting lot number when you define the item. This information is used to generate a lot number for the item when it is received.
4. Indicate whether to add zeroes to right-justify the numeric portion of lot numbers (Zero Pad Suffix).
5. Optionally, select an alphanumeric lot number prefix to use for system-generated lot numbers when generation is at the organization level.
6. Optionally, define the maximum length for lot numbers.
If you use Oracle Work in Process and you set the WIP parameter to default the lot number based on inventory rules, then WIP validates the length of the lot number against the length you define in this field.

arrow icon   To define Serial Control parameters:

1. Select the Revision, Lot, Serial tabbed region.
2. Select an option for serial number uniqueness.
Within organization: Enforce unique serial numbers within the current organization.
Within inventory items: Enforce unique serial numbers for inventory items.

Defining ATP, Pick, Item-Sourcing Parameters

arrow icon   To define optional ATP and Picking defaults:

1. Navigate to the Organization Parameters window.
2. Select the ATP, Pick, Item-Sourcing tabbed region.
3. Select a default ATP rule.
ATP rules define the options used to calculate the available to promise quantity of an item. If you are using Oracle Order Management, the default is the ATP rule for the Master organization.
4. Select a default picking rule.
Picking rules define the priority that order management functions use to pick items.
Attention: This rule will not be employed in a WMS enabled organization. The WMS picking rules will be used. See: Defining Default Inventory Parameters.
5. Enter a default subinventory picking order.
This value indicates the priority with which you pick items from a subinventory, relative to another subinventory, in which a given item resides. The value you enter here displays as the default when you define a subinventory.
6. Enter a default locator picking order.
This value indicates the priority with which you pick items from a locator, relative to another locator, where a given item resides. The value you enter here displays as the default when you define a locator.
Attention: A picking order of 1 means that order management functions pick items from that subinventory or locator before others with a higher number (such as 2, 3, and so on).
7. Check the Pick Confirmation Required box if you want your pickers to manually pick confirm. If you do not check the box, pick confirmation will occur automatically.
Attention: In order for Oracle Warehouse Management to dispatch picking tasks to users, this field should be unchecked in WMS enabled organizations.

arrow icon   To define optional Item Sourcing defaults:

1. Select the ATP, Pick, Item-Sourcing tabbed region.
2. Select a source type for item replenishment.
Inventory: Replenish items internally from another subinventory in the same organization or another organization.
Supplier: Replenish items externally, from a supplier you specify in Oracle Purchasing.
None: No default source for item replenishment.
3. Select the organization used to replenish items.
You must enter a value in this field if you selected Inventory in the Type field.
4. Select the subinventory used to replenish items.
You must enter a value in this field if you selected your current organization in the Organization field. You cannot enter a value in this field if you selected Supplier in the Type field.
