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.
Use the Subinventory transfer window to:
Transfer material within your
current organization between sub inventories, or between two locators within
the same subinventory
We can
transfer from asset to expense subinventories, as well as from tracked to
non–tracked subinventories. If an item has a restricted list of subinventories,
we can only transfer material from and to subinventories in that list.
Inter ORG Transfers
This transaction is used to transfer goods from one
inventory organization to another.
Interorganization
Direct Shipment
You use the Interorganization Transfer window to
move inventory directly from a shipping organization to a destination
organization.
Interorganization
Intransit Shipment
•
When you perform
the transfer transaction, you do not need to specify the delivery location.
•
You only need to
enter the subinventory you are shipping from, a shipment number, the freight
information, and, a percentage of the transaction value or a discrete amount
that Oracle Inventory uses to compute transfer charges.
Transfer type:
Direct: Inter-organization transfers move inventory directly from the shipping
organization to the destination organization.
Intransit: Inter-organization transfers move inventory to intransit inventory
first. You can track this inventory until it arrives at the destination
organization.
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.
Note: WIP issue and Sales issue will not be covered
as part of Oracle inventory training. These two inventory transactions will be
covered in Oracle Shipping and WIP training

What is Move Order?
A move order is a request for a sub inventory transfer or account issue.
The pick release process creates move orders which are pre-approved requests
for sub inventory transfers to bring material from its source locations in the
warehouse to a staging sub inventory. Reservations created for sales orders are
automatically updated and transferred you as the move order is released and
transacted.
It is a transaction type in inventory. It is used to make sub inventory transfers. Shipping Execution uses it to move the items during the shipping process into a stage area before the items are really shipped to the customer.
Anatomy of a Move order:
Oracle Order Picking and Shipping stores the move
order source type in the header. This
refers to the entity that created the move order. An order could be a pick wave (for sales
order picks) a replenishment type, a requisition for sub inventory transfer and
so on. Order Picking and Shipping also
stores the default source and destination if available, the order number, and
the requested date.
The lines are the requests on that move order. They store the item, requested quantity,
completed quantity (if the move order has been partially fulfilled), a source
and destination if known, and any project and task references if the
organization is Project Manufacturing enabled.
The user can also request specific serial or lot numbers if know, on the
move order line.
The line details are the Inventory transactions
that occur to fulfill a particular request line (move order line). If the material is locator, lot, or serial
controlled, this information is filled in at the line detail level. These details are automatically filled in by
Oracle Inventory using the Inventory Picking Rules and the Item - Transaction
defaults (for destination locators), or the user can manually fill in the
details. These details can be edited
prior to transaction by a user.
The Move Order Line Details (transaction lines)
created by the detailing process must be transacted to confirm the material
drop-off in staging. This process is called Pick Confirmation.
Pick confirmation executes the subinventory
transfer that moves the material from its source location in the warehouse into
the staging location. Pick Confirmation
automatically transfers the high level reservation to a detailed reservation
(including lots, subinventory, revisions, and locators) in the staging
location. At pick confirmation, a user
can report a missing quantity or change the transaction line if the picker
chose to use material from a different lot, serial, locator, or
subinventory. If an organization’s picks
rarely deviate from the suggested picking lines and the overhead of requiring a
Pick Confirmation is unmanageable, the Pick Confirm transactions can occur
immediately after the lines are detailed.
This option is called “auto pick confirm.” Users can set up a default Pick Confirm
policy in the Inventory organization parameters. This default can be overridden at each Pick
Release.
Note that even if an automatic pick confirm is
employed, the material is only transacted to the staging subinventory and
reserved. A user can still manage any
discrepancies found by deleting the reservation and transacting the material
back to its original subinventory. If
mobile devices such as bar code scanners are used to perform inventory
transactions, you should use manual pick confirmation for greatest inventory
accuracy and control.
Move Order Source
Types
Oracle Inventory Release 11i provides three
types of move orders.
Ø
Move Order
Requisitions
Ø
Replenishment
Move Orders
Ø
Pick Wave Move
Orders
The move order type refers to the entity that
created the move order. For all move orders, the final result is one of the two
supported transactions: subinventory or move order issue.
Move Order
Requisition
The requisition is a manually generated request for
a move order. You must create a move order requisition. You can generate
requests for subinventory transfers or move order issues. The requisition can
optionally go through an Oracle Workflow approval process before it becomes a
move order. If no approval process is used, the requisition becomes a move
order immediately.
Replenishment Move
Order
These move orders are generated by kanban cards
where the pull sequence calls for a subinventory transfer (intra-organization
kanbans), or by min-max planned items where the item’s replenishment source
(set at the item-sub inventory level) is another sub inventory. In this case,
the min-max or replenishment count report automatically generates a move order.
Replenishment move orders are pre-approved and ready to be transacted.
Pick Wave Move
Order
The pick release process generates move orders to
bring the material from its source location in stores to a staging location,
which you define as a subinventory in Oracle Inventory. This transaction is a
subinventory transfer. These move orders are generated automatically by the
Oracle Shipping Execution pick release process. These orders are pre-approved
and ready to transact. Pick slips and other shipping and inventory reports will
also be available with Oracle Order Management.
Allocating Move
Orders
Allocating is the process in Oracle Inventory that
uses picking rules and item transaction defaults to suggest move order line
details to fulfill a move order line. The line details are the inventory
transactions that must be fulfilled to complete the move order line. You can
consider the allocating process as a sourcing process. Allocating occurs when
you click the Allocate button in the move order transaction window.
Suggesting Sources
Oracle Inventory uses the picking rules you set up
at the organization or organization-item level, to suggest source locators,
revisions, and lots to source the material in order to fulfill a move order
line.
Suggesting a
Destination
The picking rules only suggest source locations. If
the destination subinventory is locator-controlled and no locator was specified
on the move order line, Oracle Inventory generates a suggestion based on the
item subinventory locator default you set up for move orders. Before release 11i,
the item subinventory defaults were used only for put away locations in the
receiving process. You can now set up a default locator for each item that you
want to move around the warehouse on a move order. This is not the same default
type that you would use for receiving or shipping.
Oracle Shipping
Oracle Shipping provides two choices for when and
how the user will fill in the line details.
These choices are made by setting up an organization parameter but can
be overridden at pick release.
Ø
Auto allocate: The
allocating process is done at pick release instantly after the move order is
created. No more human intervention is
needed and the pick slip can be printed automatically.
Ø
Pick release
only creates move orders but does not fill in the line details. A user must navigate to the move order form
after pick release and press the Allocate button. This option allows warehouse managers to
determine when to release the pick to the floor and might be a better solution
for implementations running a global order entry with distributed warehouse
management and/or shipping. In these
cases orders can be released to regional warehouses from the central order
management location in advance and individual warehouses can schedule picks
closer to actual ship time.
What is Transact
Order?
Once the lines have been allocated, you can commit
all of the transactions for a single move order line by selecting the lines you
want to transact and clicking the Transact button. You can save and exit the
move order line details without transacting if you need to print a pick slip
report. This enables you to transact each detail line before or after picking
the material.
If the user transacts less than the requested
quantity, the order remains open until the full quantity is transacted or the
order is closed or canceled.
What does the Auto Detail option do?
Pick
Release always creates a Move Order transaction. When you check this option in the Pick Release parameters, the
Pick Engine creates transaction lines
suggestions. This is a suggestion of
sourcing material and it is called
"Detailing". The Detailing
also creates a high level reservation on the material if no reservations
previously existed. The Detailing can be
made manually.
What does the Auto pick Confirm option do?
This option should be active if you want the Pick Engine to accept the suggested values during Detailing. It can be activated only if you select the Autodetail option.
