Required
You need to define at least one subinventory for each organization. A subinventory is a unique physical or logical grouping or separations of material inventory, such as raw material, finished goods, defective material, or freezer compartment. All material within an organization is held in a subinventory therefore.

A subinventory is a unique physical or logical grouping or separations of material inventory, such as raw material, finished goods, defective material, or freezer compartment. All material within an organization is held in a subinventory therefore.
You must move each item into, out of, or within a subinventory whenever you perform an inventory transaction. The number of subinventories that you define depends on the way you structure your organization.

Header
The Subinventories window consists of the following fields where you can define parameters for the selected subinventory:
Header
Name: Subinventory name
Description: Subinventory description
Status: The material status of this subinventory. The material status controls the enabled transactions for all material in this subinventory. The status is not overridden by the status of any locator, lot or serial
Default Cost Group: The default cost group for this subinventory. If the cost group assignment rules fail to identify a cost group for newly received material, this cost group will be assigned. A Cost Group is the set of accounts that hold on hand inventory.
Cost groups associate account information with its related inventory item. Cost groups provide a way to track both physical and accounting attributes for a subinventory, and enable you to manage inventory that is owned by multiple owners within the same subinventory and locator.
This cost group will remain with the material, even through subinventory transfers, until you perform a cost group change transaction. The organization cost group will be used as a default cost group for the subinventory and cannot be changed if the oracle WMS was not installed and you are working with a Warehouse Type.
Type: Subinnventory type which can be:
- Storage: Designates the subinventory as a Storage subinventory.
- Receiving: Designates the subinventory as a receiving subinventory, and links it to a receiving location. This subinventory type is used only for receiving material. Material in this type of subinventory cannot be on-hand, or reserved.
- Null: No subinventory designation.
Main Tab
Enter your data in the Parameters region and Lead Times region of the
Subinventories window.
Status Attributes The Status Attributes region (display-only) indicates which attributes are applicable to the material status selected for the subinventory:
• Include in ATP: Identifies whether the material in the subinventory can be included in ATP (available to promise).
• Allow Reservation: Identifies whether reservations are allowed for this subinventory.
• Nettable
Quantity Tracked Indicate whether each transaction for this subinventory updates the quantity on hand for the subinventory. If deselected, on-hand balances are not maintained and you cannot select or update the
Asset Subinventory option.
Note: You can update this value only if there is no on-hand quantity, no pending transaction, or no uncosted transaction for the subinventory.
Asset Subinventory Select this option to maintain the value of this subinventory on the balance sheet.
Note: You can update this value only if there is no on-hand quantity for the subinventory.
Depreciable Select whether this subinventory is depreciable.
Enable PAR Level Planning: Indicates if Periodic Automatic Replenishment (PAR) is enabled. If selected, min-max planning cannot be performed for this subinventory.
Enable Locator Alias
Indicate whether you can create locator aliases for locators within this subinventory. If you enable this parameter, you must create locator aliases for locators within this subinventory.
Important: The Enable Locator Alias is not supported for locators of the type Dock Door.
2-38 Oracle Inventory User's Guide
Field Description
Enforce Alias
Uniqueness
Indicate if the locator aliases are unique across the subinventory.
Note: You can also set this parameter at the organization level. If
set at the organization level, and you click Enable Locator Alias, you cannot update this parameter.
Locator Control Select a type of locator control:
• None: Inventory transactions within this subinventory do not require locator information.
• Prespecified: Inventory transactions within this subinventory require you to enter a valid predefined locator for each item.
• Dynamic entry: Inventory transactions within this subinventory require you to enter a locator for each item. You may choose a valid predefined locator, or define a locator dynamically at the time of transaction.
• Item level: Inventory transactions use locator control information that you define at the item level.
Important: You can select an option only if you selected locator control as Determined at subinventory level in the Locator Control field in the Organization Parameters window. You can update this option only if there is no on-hand quantity for the subinventory.
Default Locator Status Indicates the default locator status of the locators in this subinventory.
Field Description
Picking Order Enter a picking order value for sequencing picking tasks. (Picking order is supported by Oracle Warehouse Management and Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications (for non WMS implementations).
The picking order value indicates the priority with which you pick items from this subinventory, relative to another subinventory, where a given item resides. If you have Oracle Warehouse Management installed, this field determines the picking path through the warehouse and not the order in which material is allocated for a sales order.
Important: A picking order of 1 means that order management pick items from that subinventory or locator before others with a higher number (such as 2).
For an example of how picking order is applied, see Example of Picking Order, page 2-46.
Dropping Order Enter a numeric dropping order value such as 1, 2 or 3. The
dropping order value determines the sequence of material drops
when dropping a group of tasks with different destinations (such as
subinventory or locator). The dropping order is considered only at
the time of the drop; so, if you load multiple LPNs that are
supposed to go to different destinations then the system will suggest the subinventory / locator for drops based on the dropping order.
Dropping order is evaluated in ascending order where the lowest
dropping order is considered first.
Note: Dropping order is available only for WMS-enabled organizations.
Field Description
Inactive On Optionally, enter an inactive date on which the subinventory becomes inactive. As of this date, you can no longer assign the subinventory to any function within Oracle Applications. In
addition, you cannot receive items into or issue items from the subinventory. The subinventory remains inactive until you change the inactive date to a future date, or remove the inactive date.
Important: Before you disable a subinventory, you must make certain that no open jobs or schedules in Oracle Work in Process use it as the backflush subinventory and that no active bills in
Oracle Bills of Material use it as the supply subinventory for pull requirements.
Location Enter a location for the subinventory. If the Subinventory type is
Receiving, this field is mandatory.
Picking UOM Select the picking unit of measure used to store material in this
subinventory. It is used by the WMS rules engine to divide picks across subinventories in the warehouse. See Overview of the WMS
Rules Engine, Oracle Warehouse Management User's Guide. You must also enter a valid pick UOM if you want to print labels by case or pallet. The number of labels printed will depend on the Pick UOM.
These features are available if you have Oracle Warehouse
Management installed, and you are working with a Oracle Warehouse Management-enabled organization. See: Defining
Default Inventory Parameters, page 2-4.
Default Replenishment
Count Type Select the appropriate Default Replenishment Count Type. This field defaults the default count type on the Replenishment Lines window. It does not affect existing Default Count Type headers. Lead Times region
(Pre-Processing, Processing, Post-Processing)
Optionally, enter pre-processing, processing, and post-processing lead times for items in this subinventory. These lead times are used when you use min-max planning at the subinventory level.
4. Select the sourcing criteria:
• Type: Select a source type for item replenishment.
• Inventory: Replenish items internally, from another organization.
• Supplier: Replenish items externally, from a supplier you specify in Oracle Purchasing.
• Subinventory: Replenish items internally, from another subinventory in the same inventory organization. You must enter a value in this field if you entered Inventory in the Type field. The organization you select must have a shipping network defined.
• Organization: Select the organization used to replenish items in this subinventory. You must enter a value in this field if you entered your current organization in the Organization field.
• Subinventory: Select the subinventory for replenishing items.
General Ledger Account Fields
The following table describes the fields for the subinventory general ledger account:
Material: Enter a general ledger account to accumulate material costs for items received into this subinventory. This is usually an asset account used for the value of goods stored in this subinventory. For asset items, use this account as a default when you generate purchase requisitions from MRP, min–max organization level planning, or reorder point planning. However, when you receive the purchase order, you use the appropriate valuation or expense account.
Outside Processing: Enter a general ledger account to accumulate outside processing costs for this subinventory. This is usually an asset account. Oracle Work in Process charges this account at standard cost when you receive items for a job or schedule in Oracle Purchasing. Oracle Work in Process relieves this account at standard cost when you issue components to a job or schedule.
Material Overhead: Enter a general ledger account to accumulate material overhead or burden costs for this subinventory. This is usually an asset account.
Overhead: Enter a general ledger account to accumulate resource or department overhead costs for this subinventory. This is usually an asset account. Oracle Work in Process charges this account at standard cost when you complete assemblies from a job or schedule.
