Control Options and Restrictions

Control Options and Restrictions

You must set the following options and restrictions before performing inventory transactions:

Locator Control

You can use locator control if you divide your subinventories into physical areas such as aisle, rack, or bin locations. You can turn on locator control for the whole organization, for a specific subinventory, or a particular item.
During a material transaction, Oracle Inventory checks the locator control options you have specified. If locator control is enabled, you must enter a valid locator into which to receive or from which to issue the item you are transacting.

Lot Control

You can enable lot control for specific items in your inventory and optionally assign expiration dates to them. If you enable lot control for an item, you must assign lot numbers when you receive the item into inventory. Thereafter, when you transact this item, you must provide a lot number when receiving the item.

Serial Number Control

You can enable serial number control for specific items in your inventory to track individual units. If you enable serial number control for an item, you must provide a serial number when you transact it.

Revision Quantity Control

You can define and enforce revision quantity control for any item to track quantities by revision. If you enable revision quantity control for an item, you must provide a revision number when you transact it.

Subinventory and Locator Restrictions

If a number of your items have fixed locators where you stock them, you can restrict the subinventories and locators they are transacted to and from by defining a list of valid subinventories and locators for your item.
Then use the Items windows to enable the item attributes restricting the item to a list of subinventories and locators, all Inventory transaction windows ensure that you transact the item to and from a subinventory and locator included in the restricted list..

Defining Default Subinventories and Locators

If you want your Oracle applications products to default subinventories and locators during shipping and receiving transactions, use the Item Transaction Defaults window to define default shipping and receiving subinventories and locators for your items. If you have already defined a restricted list of subinventories and locators for your item, you must choose a default subinventory and locator from that list.
Oracle Order Management displays the default shipping subinventory and locator when you perform a shipment transaction where the OE:Reservations system profile option is set to No. Oracle Purchasing displays the default receiving subinventory and locator when you perform a receipt transaction for the item. You can always override the defaults.
Note: The Item Transaction Defaults window defaults the subinventory only for non-reservable items. Pick release defaults to this subinventory only for non-reservable items.

Converting Units of Measure


If you want to perform material transactions in units of measure other than the primary unit of measure of an item, you must define unit of measure conversions. Oracle Inventory tracks transaction quantities for your items in both the primary unit of measure and the transaction unit of measure.
