Define Item Cross References

Optional

If you maintain relationships between your item numbers and other entities such as old item numbers, you need to define cross-reference types. Using these cross-reference types, you can define cross-references to store additional information about inventory items.

For example, you can create a cross-reference type OLD to track the old item numbers, and a type SUPPLIER to track supplier part numbers. You can then create a list of cross-references using the Cross-Reference Types window, linking your item numbers to their corresponding old part numbers, and/or their corresponding supplier part numbers. Oracle Inventory provides a report that lists all items and their corresponding cross-references.

Define Cross Reference Type:

1. Navigation: Inventory --> Items --> Cross Reference. Cross Reference Types window is displayed




2. Enter a Unique Name of the cross reference type.

3. Enter a Description of the cross reference type.

4. Save your work.

5. To make a cross-reference type inactive, Enter a date in "Inactive On" field. As of this date, you cannot assign this cross-reference type to an item.

Note: You can delete a cross-reference if it has not been used by any item.

6. To assign a cross-reference type, Choose the Assign button, "Assign Cross References" window is displayed



7. Enter an item.

8. Indicate whether the cross-reference applies only in the specified organization or to all organizations to which the item is assigned.

9. You can optionally enter a unit of measure for the cross-referenced entity if the cross-reference type is Item GTIN Code. You can select any UOM that is permissible in a transaction.

10. Enter the name of the organization to which the cross-reference applies.

11. If you select Applicable To All Organizations, this field is skipped.

12. Enter a cross-reference value. This value is the entity you cross-reference to the item, such as its old item number or supplier part number.

13. Save your work.

 

Note: To assign cross-references types to items from the Master Items Summary window:

1. Navigate to the Master Items Summary window.

2. Select an item.

3. Choose Cross References from the Tools menu.

4. Enter the cross-reference type name.

5. Indicate whether the cross-reference applies only in the specified organization or to all organizations to which the item is assigned.

6. Enter the name of the organization to which the cross-reference applies.

7. If you select Applicable To All Organizations, this field is skipped.

8. Enter a cross-reference value. This value is the entity you cross-reference to the item, such as its old item number or supplier part number.

9. Save your work.
