To define inventory parameters: To define inventory parameters:Navigate to the Organization Parameters window.
Select the Inventory Parameters tab.
Enter an organization code. See Creating an Organization.
Select an Item Master organization.
You create items in the item master organization and assign them to other organization within your operating unit.
Select a workday calendar. This is required when Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Oracle Supply Chain Planning is installed. See Creating a Workday Calendar.
Optionally, select a demand class.
Demand classes segregate scheduled demand and production into groups, and allow 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, Oracle Master Scheduling / MRP and Oracle Supply Chain Planning User's Guide.
In the Move Order Time-out Period field, enter the maximum 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 time-out period, if the recipient has not approved or rejected the order, the system sends a reminder notice. After the second time-out period, the system automatically rejects or approves the order depending on whether you select Approve automatically or Reject automatically in the Move Order Time-out Action field.
Select a Move Order Time-out Action:
Approve automatically: After the second time-out period, the system automatically approves move order requisitions. Select this option and set the Move Order Time-out Period to 0 if you want to bypass the move order approval process and automatically approve move order requisitions.
Reject automatically: After the second time-out period, the system automatically rejects move order requisitions.
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 you define at the subinventory level.
Select a Default On-hand Material Status tracking option. This step is optional.
Attention: You cannot update this field for existing organizations. To enable this field, you must submit the Activate Onhand Level Material Status Tracking concurrent program.
Indicate whether to allow quality skipping for inspections.
Indicate whether locator aliases must be unique across the organization.
Indicate whether to allow negative balances.
This parameter determines if inventory transactions can drive the inventory balance of an item negative.
Attention: If insufficient quantity of on hand material exists in a supply subinventory to satisfy backflush demand, Oracle Work in Process forces the supply subinventory balance negative, and ignores this option setting.
Indicate whether auto delete Allocations are enabled. If you select this check box, when you delete a source order, or delete or cancel the order line, the system automatically deletes the associated move order allocations. If you do not select the check box, when you delete a source order, or delete or cancel the order line, then the system does not delete the associated allocations lines. You must manually delete the move order line allocations. If you choose not to delete these lines, the system transacts these lines as subinventory transfers, and does not consider the lines as over picks.
Note: You can enable auto delete allocations only if you do not enable Warehouse Management for the organization. In a Warehouse Management organization, the system automatically deletes move order allocations or tasks unless a user starts work on the task.
Indicate whether this is a manufacturing partner organization. This parameter enables you to use Chargeable Subcontracting. Chargeable Subcontracting is support only for Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. . If you enable this parameter, then you must set the Transfer to GL parameter to No. This parameter indicates if an original equipment manufacturer is a manufacturing partner.
Select the Process Manufacturing enabled check box if the organization is a Process Manufacturing organization. If the organization is a process manufacturing organization you can use process applications such as Process Execution, Process Quality, and Process Costing.
Check the Warehouse Control System (WCS) to enable the Warehouse Control System. The Warehouse Control System provides a bridge between Warehouse Management and the control level for device automation and integration, and the coordination of task execution.
Note: You can only enable WCS for Warehouse Management organizations.
Indicate whether this organization is enabled for the Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) application. For more information about enabling the organization for eAM, see Oracle Enterprise Asset Management Implementation Guide, Enabling Organizations for Enterprise Asset Management.
Indicate whether this organization is an Oracle Warehouse Management enabled organization. You can use Warehouse Management features such as LPNs, task management, warehouse execution rules, and cost groups in this organization. See Warehouse Setup.
You must enable locator control in order to enable Warehouse Management. After you process transactions within the organization, you cannot change the value of this parameter.
Enter a total load weight and unit of measure for this organization.
Enter a total volume and unit of measure for this organization.
To continue defining organization parameters:Select the Costing Information tabbed region. See Defining Costing Information.
To set up security parameters for the Status Update Details window (Material Workbench):The system administrator can restrict access to fields and status levels on the Status Update Details window by setting security parameters on the Form Functions window.
Note: The Status Update Details window is accessed from the Material Workbench.
Navigate to the Form Functions window.
On the Description tab, in the Function field, query the function name INV_INVMATWB (User Function Name = Material Workbench).
Select the Form tab to view the parameters.
Set the value of the following parameters from No (N) to Yes (Y) to restrict access to the fields/status levels on the Status Update Details window. If the value is Yes, then the corresponding user cannot update the material status in the Material Workbench window (at the node level). You can set values for the following parameters to restrict the user from updating the status update at the corresponding node level:
NO_SUB = "Y": Restricts access to the Subinventory Status region.
NO_LOC = "Y": Restricts access to the Locator Status region.
NO_LOT = "Y": Restricts access to the Lot Status region.
NO_ONHAND = "Y": Restricts access to the On-hand Status region.
