Inventory Management

Use Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence Enhancements for Inventory Management

The feature, Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence Enhancements for Inventory Management, enables you to improve oversight, visibility, and control within your organization. You can create ad hoc reports using real-time transactional data from Oracle Cloud Inventory Management. The availability of real-time data allows you to monitor your materials management processes. You can readily respond to exceptions and take corrective action immediately. Using the Reports and Analytics work area, you can seamlessly navigate from the Inventory Management landing page to the Business Intelligence (BI) Reports and Analytics work area to create a new analysis or to view an existing analysis.

TRANSFER ORDER DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELD SUPPORT

The existing Inventory Transfer Order Real Time subject area has been extended to include transfer order descriptive flexfields. You can use descriptive flexfields to add user-defined attributes for the Inventory Transfer Order business object. For example, you may want to create a descriptive flexfield to capture department information when creating a transfer order. Once the descriptive flexfield information is captured on the source transaction, it can be used when creating reports and analytics in Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI). Transfer order descriptive flexfield information is available at three levels, Transfer Order Header, Transfer Order Line, and Transfer Order Distribution.

SUPPORT ITEM SUBINVENTORY AND ITEM LOCATOR DIMENSIONS

The OTBI dimensions, Item Subinventory and Item Locator, provide you with an additional level of reporting capability at the subinventory and locator levels. Item Subinventory and Item Locator attributes are configured in Setup and Maintenance using the Manage Subivnentorires and Locators page. Item Subinventory attributes include information such as inventory planning method, minimum and maximum quantities, and replenishment sources. Attributes at the Item Locator include replenishment count type, Periodic Automatic Replenishment (PAR) level, and PAR maximum quantity.

Item Subinventory and Item Locator Dimensions

INVENTORY LOT DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELD SUPPORT

Inventory Management provides complete lot number support for inventory transactions. You can also enable descriptive flexfields for inventory lots. For example, you may want to create descriptive flexfields to capture certain attributes of an inventory lot such as color and size. Once you have configured your descriptive flexfields, you can enable the descriptive flexfields for OTBI. This allows you to create reports and analytics to capture these additional attributes. For example, you can create an analysis to show all inventory transactions for lots that are color red and size large. Supporting OTBI lot level descriptive flexfields allows you to configure reports and analytics to support your specific organizational requirements.

Include Serial Numbers in Shipping Subject Area

The Shipping Real Time subject area allows you to create real-time reports and analytics on your shipping information. When processing a shipment, serial number information can be captured for items in a shipment. The Shipping Real Time subject area includes serial number details such as the serial number status and serial number completion or shipped date. For example, you can create an analysis for a given shipment and display the serial number range associated with a serial number controlled item on the shipment. This provides you with an extra level of visibility, allowing you to report shipment information and the associated serial number details.

Shipping Real Time Subject Area

Steps to Enable

Shipping

Ship Sales Orders for Projects

For a variety of reasons, you might need to fulfill customer demands for common or slightly differentiated products on separate projects. For example:

• You sell items that require separate research, development, and modifications for each customer.   
• You supply spare parts on contracts.   
• You supply items as a part of a turnkey service.

The items that fulfill these demands are often similar to one another, so you don't need to segregate inventory by project. You can ship items from a common warehouse for project-specific sales orders, but the items are invoiced against projects. In this update, you can:

• Create a sales order that references a specific project and task in the project.   
• Pick and ship items from the same inventory for all projects.   
• Ship items from the same warehouse, but invoice them differently according to project.   
• Interface the cost of items shipped from common inventory to a single project.   
• Invoice your customer according to a business rule that references the project.

With these enhancements, you can reduce error and expedite transactions by selling items without manually adjusting cost and revenue for each project. You'll also increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness by not having to segregate inventory by project.

In order to improve visibility to project sales order shipments, several enhancements have been made to existing Inventory Management pages. The Manage Shipment Lines page has been enhanced to display a new column, Project Sales Order. The Project Sales Order column enables shipping users to identify those shipment lines that include project details. Additionally, a new sales order project context is used for project details on the shipping inventory transaction. These attributes are displayed on the Review Completed Transactions page.

Steps to Enable

You must opt in to enable this feature. For instructions, refer to the Optional Uptake of New Features section of this document.

Cost Management

Exclude Inactive Work Definition in Standard Cost Rollup

While calculating the cost of a manufactured item, if a manufacturing work definition was inactive prior to the cost scenario’s effective date, the Roll Up Costs process now ignores that work definition.

Also, you can now deactivate a work definition even when it is used in a published scenario. The cost scenario continues to use the work definition and the standard cost of the manufactured item is available for cost accounting. However, if the deactivated work definition is used in an existing unpublished scenario, the status of the cost scenario is reset to Redo Cost Roll Up Required. 

This enables you to seamlessly accommodate changes due to contract negotiations with suppliers. For example, you can now specify cost for a procured item that was previously a make item.

Steps to Enable

No steps are required to enable this feature.

Capture Expenditure Information in Oracle Project Portfolio Management Cloud from a Sales Order

For a variety of reasons, you might need to fulfill customer demands for common or slightly-differentiated products on separate projects. For example:

• You sell items that require separate research, development, and modifications for each customer.   
• You supply spare parts on contracts.   
• You supply items as a part of a turn-key service.

The items that fulfill these demands are often similar to one another, so you don't need to segregate inventory by project. You can ship items from a common warehouse for project-specific sales orders, but the items are invoiced against projects. In this update, you can:

• Create a sales order that references a specific project and task in the project.   
• Pick and ship items from the same inventory for all projects.   
• Ship items from the same warehouse, but invoice them differently according to project.   
• Interface the cost of items shipped from common inventory to a single project.   
• Invoice your customer according to a business rule that references the project.

With these enhancements, you can reduce error and expedite transactions by selling items without manually adjusting cost and revenue for each project. You'll also increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness by not having to segregate inventory by project.

The following are the key enhancements specific to the Oracle Fusion Cost Management Cloud to support this feature:

• Cost and create accounting for Sales Order Issue Inventory transaction to a single project.
• Include costed transaction details in Project Costing.
• Display project attributes in a transaction as accounting sources.

The following screen captures illustrate the feature and its benefits.

Offering: Order Management                         No Longer Optional From: 11.13.19.07.0

Feature Name: Process Sales Orders for Projects

Tips And Considerations

• Project attributes are not copied to the return order from the original sales order. If you capture the project attributes in the Project Details of a return order, they are not taken into account for returns processing. Therefore, these attributes are processed and costed as regular sales order returns.
• Drop shipment and back-to-back processing for such project tagged lines are not in the scope of this update.
• There will be no intercompany accounting in Costing for Project Sales Order scenarios where the Sales Business Unit is different from the Shipping Business Unit, unlike the regular cross business sales order issue flows.
• Cost Accounting posts the accounting entries with the reference of Profit Center Business Unit. If the Profit Center BU of the Inventory Org and Project BU are same, the project expenditure will be part of the Profit Center BU. However if the Project BU (Management BU) is different from the Costing Profit Center BU, the project expenditures from the Profit Center BU gets added to the Project BU within the Project Application's Borrow or Lend processing.
• OTBI Reporting based on Project attributes are not supported in this update.

Cost Account the Items Directly Delivered to Manufacturing and Maintenance Work Orders

Items bought from and delivered directly to manufacturing and maintenance work orders are processed by receipt and cost accounting.

After the items are received against the work order destination in receiving, receipt accounting creates the following receipt accounting distribution entries.

• Debit – Receiving Inspection at Purchase Order Price
• Credit – Accrual at Purchase Order Price

When the item is delivered to the work order destination, cost accounting picks up these transactions and creates the following distribution entries.

• Debit – Work in Process at Purchase Order price or Standard Cost
• Credit – Receiving Inspection at Purchase Order Price
• Credit/Debit – Purchase Price Variance for difference between the standard cost and purchase price

Only item-based purchases are processed in Cost Accounting. For description or amount-based purchases, the Deliver-to Work Order will be processed in Receipt Accounting only and the entire purchase cost will be expensed.

The cost of these items are also reflected in the work order costs and can be reviewed from either the Review Work Order Costs or Review Maintenance Work Order Costs page.

The following screen capture illustrates the feature and its benefits.

Manage Landed Cost Trade Operations Using a REST Service

Manage landed cost trade operations and associated charges using a REST web service. Automatically create trade operations when integrating with an external system, or when dealing with a high volume of trade operations or charges.

Use the Landed Cost Trade Operations REST web service to do the following:

• Retrieve trade operations in the system.
• Create a new trade operation or modify the existing trade operations.
• Delete a trade operation and its details.

The trade operation primary resource has two child resources: Charges and Default Purchase Order Schedules.

• The Charges child resource of the trade operations REST resource provides details of all charges that exist under a trade operation. It has four child resources:
  • Charge References: Create, read, update, and delete charge references to a charge line in a trade operation, and associate invoices with a trade operation.
  • Charge Related Lines: Provides details of the charges created as related to another charge of the trade operation. You can create, update, and delete such a charge line.
  • Charge Invoice Associations: Provides details of the Invoices associated with a charge in a trade operation.
  • Charge Purchase Order Schedules: Read, create, update, and delete the purchase order schedules associated with a charge in a trade operation.

• The Default Purchase Order Schedules stores the details about PO Schedules that are associated with all the charges of a trade operation by default.

Steps to Enable

If you are using REST services with your Oracle Cloud implementation for the first time, then follow the instructions in the Quick Start section of the REST API for Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud guide, available on the Oracle Help Center.
