I have found that a transaction that drives inventory negative will stop the transaction process for all transactions, and may not return with an error. I suggest re-submitting small blocks of transactions instead of all 182. It may take more time, but you will find the one or more transactions that is (are) causing the pending issue.

Beware that during this lag time some well meaning users will commit a new transaction that duplicates one of the pending transactions, because they think it hasn't been done or the system is 'broke'. This will require an inventory correction by doing a WIP component receipt to back out the duplicate issue.

hope this helps,

Check to be sure these items are not defined as reference items. We had this problem in the early days where the item was defined, put onto the BOM, Work Orders were created then the item was changed to Reference Only. But with all the Work Orders open, the system wanted to consume the items. If this is the case, you can probably delete them from the Interface table.

If the above scenario is not the case, contact Oracle Support. There are other fields which can be changed and the transaction can possibly be "pushed" through.

The entire batch will error out even if only one transaction is in error. Check each transaction for detail in the Error Explanation field. That one will be the problem transaction. Submit all others.

One caveat: If you are multi-org you can only resubmit records within the same organization. Make sure the concurrent manager picks them up before you try to submit from other organizations.

Only resubmit those without an error message and don't submit all at once. Be aware that when one submits a transaction with an error in it, it pulls all other transactions in that batch into the Pending table.

Consignment Stock

Subject: Inventory Related

Hi all,

We have an issue related to Consignment stock, a feature we want to implement.

We want to receive stock on consignemt basis and would be stored at our end. The stock will be the responsibilty of the supplier.

Once the stock is consumed then only should the supplier invoice us for the quantity consumed, not for the quantity stored. The consignment stock held by us at our end should also not appear in our books as inventory.

How can we achieve this and has anyone come across such a situation ?

Any help will be appreciated.
TIA
Harish

harish,

you can receive the consignment in a subinventory that is not nettable (planning), non-ATP, non-asset inventory (the value doesn't appear in the balance sheet. but you have to chek the quantity tracked bec u cannot update the above boxes if qty box is not chekd. u can use the setupOrganizationSubinventories navigation.

whenever you want to consume, you move it to another subinventory that is nettable, atp-able,reservable and asset value so that they appear in the books. since no accounting entries generated for subinventory transfer, you better discuss with your GL/AP consultant for the work around

hope this helps,

Hi Krishna

Your solution works just fine.

In this we do not have to worry about the accounting entries in subinventory transfers. Whenever we transfer material between expense subinventory and asset subinventory accounting entry gets generated automatically. The entry will be between expense account of the expense subinv and the material account of the asset subinv.

From there you can deliver to the consumption. If you think for this you have to discuss with GL/AP consultant, you do not have to.

Hi

We are on 10.7 16.1 7.3.4 Sun Solaris 2.5.1.

As part of the Y2K patches we were told by Oracle to apply the Inventory patches 873657 (server), and 873656(Client) (I think this patch set D). This patch is released on Nov.4th (From Metalink). After applying these patches we are facing problems in many forms in PO like all Receiving forms including inquiry form and requisitions entry form. And there is one view RCV_CONFIRM_RECEIPT_V that is in the invalid status.

The error says that there is an Invalid column in this view definition. We are yet to test Inventory module.

Has anybody faced problems from these patches? Is this patch actually required for Y2K compliance?

Regards/Nagamohan

We also had this invalid view after installing this patchset, and per Metalink it is only used for the NCA platform and should not have been included in the GUI patchsets, therefore it is safe to drop it (if you are not NCA). You can find this info on Metalink by searching on the view name if you'd like to see the exact article.

yes I have faced that problem in the past. The short term fix is to add the column to the underlying table. The long term fix to log a tar with Oracle and specifically state the issue is the missing field on the underlyin table. I believe there is a script Oracle can point you to that needs to run in a certain prescribe order, that the patch runs out of sequence.

Additional problems we encountered when running those patches is that the newest applet has to be installed as well. Otherwise, more problems.



Cycle Count duplicating sequence numbers

Environment: 10.7SC 16.1

I am using Oracle Cycle Counting and have the job scheduled so that a count list is generated with a list of items to count everyday. It appears that I got some duplicate sequence numbers this week. Monday's count list was fine. Today's count list has duplicated the sequence number with a different item number to count. Any ideas?

Duplications of sequence numbers are allowed by the system. This can be across different cycle counts or within the same cycle count. The sequence number is controlled in the Cycle Count form under the Control, Scope group. The Starting Sequence identifies the next sequence number that will be used when counts are again generated. If this field is reset, it will likely cause duplication of the sequence numbers within the same cycle count. Duplications are expected and are normal between the different cycle counts.



Intransit inventory - accounting of

Subject: RE: INV Organisation parameters problem....
From: Sumita_Lal Sumita_Lal@hts.satyam.com

Hi All !

I am facing a problem while defining the inventory organisation parameters. We are on Release 11.0.3

For an average costing organisation, the Intransit Inventory Account (in the Inter-org Information region) is defaulting from the Material Account defined in the Costing Region. In fact even if I don't enter any Intransit Inventory Account and try saving the Organisation parameters, it saves the Intransit account with the same value as I had defined in the material account. Also it is allowing me to skip defining the expense account - whereas it is a mandatory account for an average costing org. The same problem is not there if I define a Standard Costing Organisation.

Please reply if you have any clue to what the problem could be.

Thanks in advance,
Sumita

The intransit account is getting the same account you entered to inventory valuation account, cost element material, and you should not be able to modify it. That is the way the system was designed, and it is not a bug. If you don't populate the expense account, on the inventory org. level, you won't have a default for the sub inventory account. You must have an expense account for expense sub inventory.

Thanks for your response Dina.
But in case the company wishes to value intransit inventory in a separate account (which is a probable case) then this cannot be done. In fact, the earlier releases supported a separate account for the intransit inventory. How do you capture your stoc-in-transit otherwise ?

SUmita

There is a problem with the way Oracle calculates the transaction value of sending and receiving via intransit. They are aware of that and planning to correct that by release 12. The way I understand it is as follows - when you use interorg transfer FOB shipment, the sending organization inventory valuation is credited for the average cost of the sending organization. The Receiving organization intransit account is debited for the same amount. When you receive the item in second org, the transaction value is based on the current average cost of the receiving org (which may be different from the sending). In this scenario, the intransit account is not cleared for ever. By forcing the same account Oracle worked around that problem.

I think you may be able to get an estimate of the intransit value, only by developing your own report.
