Oracle Inventory Subinventory Transfer Process

The Subinventory Transfer Process is the movement of material from one subinventory to another subinventory within an organization.  It is also used to move material from one subinventory/location to another.  All of the accounting transactions are generated by the system based upon account numbers entered when the subinventories were defined.



Step 1.0 Request to Move Material between Subinventories (Optional)

Fill out the appropriate request form (Material Transfer) to move material between either subinventories or locations. 

Step 2.0 Issuer Physically Removes Material

The material to be transferred is taken from its original subinventory/location and given to the requestor.

Step 3.0 Issuer Processes Subinventory Transfer

Enter the item number, from subinventory/location, to subinventory/location, and the quantity that needs to be moved.  Once this transaction has been saved, the only way to reverse this transaction is to create a new subinventory transfer.  If the item is under either lot or serial control, press the Lot/Serial button on the bottom of the form.  This will bring up a new form that will allow the input of Lot Numbers or Serial Numbers.  If the item is not under lot or serial control, this button will be grayed out.

Step 4.0 Requester Places Items in Receiving Subinventory

The material is placed in the destination subinventory/location.

Step 5.0 File Paper Copy of the Request (Optional)


File the paper copy of the request form for the material transfer into the file cabinet.
