Loading Item/Subinventory associations
Date: Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:13:53 -0400
From: Malcolm_Jowett@ingerrand.com
Subject: INV: Loading Item/Subinventory associations
Hi,
I am implementing R11.0.2 and having a problem with loading
Item/Subinventory/Locator data for my 54,000 items.
When creating an item manually, it is necessary to use the
Special-Item Subinventories screen to list the subinvs and locators
where that item can be stored. This must be done before you can enter
the WIP Supply Locator and WIP Supply Subinventory in the WIP region
of the item form. These values are used to default the location of
the item when issuing.
When using the Items Open Interface, the import programme populates
the WIP Supply ... columns, but not the tables behind the 'Item
Subinventories' form. This is clearly breaking Oracle's own data
integrity rules.
We need to populate the tables behind this form as they are used to
validate other data inputs. Manual loading is NOT an option!!
There is an interface table (mtl_item_sub_invs_interface) which does
not work at R11.0.2. There have been discussions on this list about
having to write scripts to load data direct to the core tables.
Has anyone solved this?
Thanks in advance,
Malcolm Jowett.

Subject: INV-C Mega Patch
We have recently applied INV-C mega patch to our test instance and I noticed
that it added two segments to the 'Stock Locators' key flexfield. The two
segments are: (1) Project; column SEGMENT19 value set PJM_PROJECT (2) Task;
column SEGMENT20 value set PJM_TASK. I called Oracle for an explanation for
these new segments and I was unable to get a clear answer. The Inventory rep
said that Projects would populate the segments and the Projects rep said
that Inventory would populate them. Neither could give me the functional
purposes or benefits of having these new segments.
Does anyone know what these segments are and how they are to be used? Is
there any documentation concerning this 'new' functionality?
Thank you, in advance, for any information you have.

I believe the fields get populated from Order Entry or Inventory to be able
to interface inventory/WIP to Projects through the Cost Collector and
Transaction Import (average costs only). It sounds like Oracle added or
fixed functionality to the new Release 11 'Project Manufacturing'. I would
check the R11 Project Manufacturing User's Guide and R11 Project

Hi!
We are converting from 9.4 to 10.7SC and I am testing the Inventory Open
Item Interface to bring over all of our 20K+ items. I brought over a
test batch and populated both the Master and Inventory Organizations.
However while I could view and update these items from the character mode
screens, from the GUI I couldn't query them up; although I could use
these items from all the other GUI screens (PO, OE, receiving etc).
Oracle support sent me a patch for the Item import programme and now my
import is working touch wood. I strongly suggest you get this patch
first and save youself some grief.
I tried to post my script for populating the Item Interface earlier but
it was over 20K and was bounced. Anybody who wants to laugh at my
miniscule PL/SQL skills can e-mail me for it.

A 52 times per year
B 26 times per year

Subject: Re: INV:Cycle Counting, Automatic Scheduling
Hello,
i would recommend to create a calendar to tell the system at which days you want
to count and on which days not.
For example, you want to count from Monday to Friday, but for sure not on
sunday, i guess.
That offers also the chance to switch days off were you may have public vacation
or manpower problems.
After creating such a calendar and following the steps that another guy has
already described, you shouldŽnt have a problem to get your cycle count
listings.
But the system will only collect the items that have to be counted on the
specific day.
You must instrucht the system to print you the cycle count listings.
For that you have to go in the cycle count screen, choose "special", click on
Performe full cycle count.
Than you will get a mask where you can decide how many copies you want and so
on.
This screen is also useful for scheduling the cycle count, because automatic
scheduling is not working!!
See the help screen for detailed information, or come back to me.
I am the lucky guy in our company that has to do it every day...

Subject: RE: INV & cost
Mohammed,
My client had a similar requirement. It can be done without customising any
form (if I have understood ur requirement properly). The only forms where
costs can be input are average cost update form and Misc. Transaction form.
So make a responsibilty for store keeper and don't give him access to
avaerage cost update form. Store keeper shall require access to Misc.
Transaction form so hide the unit cost field by creating a folder. Also
change the profile option of Allow Folder customization to No for that
user. Thus the user can do the transaction and shall not have access to
unit cost field. The initial cost of the item is defined at the time of
inputting the opening balances. In average cost organization the cost of
the item changes automatically with every receipt transaction.
Hope the above solution helps and in case there are any queries feel free
to get back to me.

Autocreate and item supply/demand

From: Andrew Robertson AndrewR@langeberg.co.za
Subject: RE: Urgent - Auto create process and item supply/demand
Hi All
We are running Oracle 10.7 NCA with INV, WIP OE amongst other modules.
Our problem is as follows:
A sales order is placed against export items and a requisition is created
to get the stock from the manufacturing organisation into the shipping
organisation. From the original sales order/internal requisition discrete
jobs are autocreated in the manufacturing organisation. This autocreated
job is meant to look at the current items supply and demand (ie: stock on
hand that is not reserved against any other sales orders) and then only
autocreate a job for the balance of stock required. However this is not
taking place.
At the moment the autocreate process is ignoring stock availability and
creating jobs for the entire quantity ordered on the sales
order/requisition.The entire quantity on the job is reserved against that
particular sales order and cannot be used against other shipments
When there is enough demand to fulfill the sales order then the autocreate
process does not create a discrete job.
Has anyone come across this problem before of partially fulfilled demand
against a sales order? If so how did you go about fixing it. As I
understand it this should be Oracle functionality - possibly we have
missed out a profile option or something. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

- Assign items to categories (mtl_item_categories)
- Create manufacturer part numbers (mtl_mfg_part_numbers)
Has anyone developed a "batch" method for creating this information?
3) At the last OAUG conference, one of our users saw a demo of integration
between Lotus Notes and Oracle for the creation of items. The items were

Subject: RE: Refurbished Parts
We do the same sort of thing. We carry both new and refurbished parts
in our inventory that are otherwise identical. The part number for each
is the same except that the refurbished part has an R on the end (a
suffix). We have set up a flexfield titled "Rebuildable". Any part in
our inventory that can be refurbished has a Y in that flexfield. We
report off of that flexfield to prompt people for the rebuildable core
when the item is replaced.
