INV: Receive shipped Lot quantity

When receiving multiple lots for intransit receipt transactions, by default, the system ensures that the sum of lot quantities (for all lots) does not exceed the total quantity received. But it will not prevent receiving more than was shipped for a particular lot and less for another lot (to balance the total quantity).

By setting this profile to Yes, the system prevents users from receiving more than was shipped for each particular lot. If a violation occurs, the following error message appears: Quantity cannot exceed for lot .

The available values are: Yes or No. This profile option can be updated at all levels.

Example 1: Profile Option is No (or Null value)

The following example shows the results when the profile option is set to No (or a null value is selected).

  • Create a lot controlled item and assign it to your two organizations.
  • Set the shipping network as indicated: 

transfer type = Intransit
receipt routing = Direct
  •  Perform a miscellaneous receipt in the source organization to receive some on hand in two lots LOT_1 and LOT_2.
  • Perform an inter-organization transfer to send a quantity of 20 to the destination
  • organization as below:

10 from lot LOT_110 from lot LOT_2

  • Receive the quantity of 20 in the destination organization.
In Lot Entry window:
  • Create the first record.
  • Activate the LOV for field Lot Number.
  • Select lot LOT_1.
  • Receive more from lot LOT_1 by setting the quantity =15 (instead of 10).
  • Create the second record.
  • Select lot LOT_2
  • Receive 5 from this lot (because the system will prevent exceeding the total quantity of 20).
  • Click Done and save your work.
Confirm that you received 15 and 5 instead of 10 and 10.

Example 2: Profile Option is Set to Yes

The following example shows the results when the profile option is set to Yes:

Note: Steps are the same as in the previous example until step 5.

  • At step 5: Receive the quantity of 20 in the destination organization.
  • In the Lot Entry window, create the two records as described in example 1.
  • Select lot LOT_2
  • Click Done.
An error message appears:Quantity cannot exceed 10 for lot LOT_1.

INV: Purchasing by Revision

This profile option determines the purchasing interfaces tables that are populated with revision information from Oracle Inventory. If you set the profile option to Yes, the revision information passes to the purchasing interface tables whenever you create a requisition in Inventory for revision controlled items. If you set the profile option to No, it creates the requisition without revision control.

This profile option is updateable at the site level only.


INV: Quantity Tree Timeout for Lock


When an item is pick released the quantity tree for that item is locked so no other processes can allocate the same item. If the quantity tree is locked by a different pick release batch, pick release waits until the lock is released. This profile option determines how long the pick release process waits for the lock to be released. Once the time indicate is exceeded, the pick release batch errors out. This avoids deadlocks during the pick release process.

This profile option is updateable at the site level only.

INV: Max # of Txn Purge Processes

This is the maximum number of processes that will be purged. One worker will be started for each accounting period in the date range specified for the purge. However, if there are more accounting periods, than worked allowed by this profile option, then the number of workers will be determined by the ceiling of accounting periods to purge divided by this value. When more workers run in parallel, the purge process can be completed faster, but that also means more system resources are dedicated to purging transactions and thus are not available for other system activities. You would typically set this value to no more than 20, but may set it smaller based on your system resources.

INV: Minmax Reorder Approval

This profile option determines the status of both purchase requisitions as well as WIP jobs created through the min-max process. The values of Approval Required or Incomplete indicate the status of requisitions created by the Min-max planning report. For WIP jobs created by min-max, whenever the Min-max planning report completes, a WIP MASS LOAD program is generated. The status of the job created is determined by the setting of the system profile INV: Minmax Reorder Approval. If the value of this profile option is:

Incomplete: then the status of the created job is Unreleased.
Approved: then the status of the created job is Released.

Note: The predefined value of this profile option for all levels upon installation is Approval Required. If you select Incomplete, you can optionally load requisitions as unapproved and use the document approval feature in Oracle Purchasing.

Approval Required: The requisition is created in Approval Required status and requires approval.
Incomplete: The requisition is created in Incomplete status.

Pre-approved: The requisition is created in Pre-approved status
