Oracle Inventory Terminology


Terms used in the conventional Inventory system and as referred in Oracle Inventory may be different. A brief explanation of the ‘Oracle Inventory’ term’s vis-à-vis the existing terminology is provided the following paragraphs. These terms are extensively used in documenting the ‘Inventory - To Be’ flows and it is recommended that the various users of this system get acquainted with the same.
Item Validation Organization: The organization that contains your master list of items. You define it by setting the OE: Item Validation Organization profile option.
Logical organization: A business unit that tracks items for accounting purposes but does not physically exist.
Organization: A business unit such as a plant, warehouse, division, department, and so on. Order Management refers to organizations as warehouses on all Order Management windows and reports.
Destination organization: An inventory organization that receives item shipments from a given Organization.
Workday calendar: A calendar that identifies available workdays for one or more organizations. Master Scheduling/MRP, Inventory, Work in Process, and Capacity plan and schedule activities based on a calendar’s available workdays.
Workday exception set: An entity that defines mutually exclusive sets of workday exceptions. For each organization, you can specify a workday calendar and exception set.
Primary unit of measure: The stocking unit of measure for an item in a particular organization.
Unit of measure: The unit that the quantity of an item is expressed.
Unit of measure class: A group of units of measure and their corresponding base unit of measure. The standard unit classes are Length, Weight, Volume, Area, Time, and Pack.
Unit of measure conversions: Numerical factors that enable you to perform transactions in units other than the primary unit of the item being transacted.
Category:  Code used to group items with similar characteristics, such as plastics, metals, or glass items.
Category set A feature in Inventory where users may define their own group of categories. Typical category sets include purchasing, materials, costing, and planning.
Purchased item: An item that you buy and receive. If an item is also an inventory item, you may also be able to stock it.
Standard item: Any item that can have a bill or be a component on a bill except planning items, option classes, or models. Standard items include purchased items, subassemblies, and finished products.
Substitute item: An item that can be used in place of a component. Master Scheduling/MRP suggests substitutes items on some reports.
Inventory item: Items you stock in inventory. You control inventory for inventory items by quantity and value. Typically, the inventory item remains an asset until you consume it. You recognize the cost of an inventory item as an expense when you consume it or sell it. You generally value the inventory for an item by multiplying the item standard cost by the quantity on hand.
Item attribute control level: To maintain item attributes at the item master attribute level or the Organization specific level by defining item attribute control consistent with your company policies. For example, if your company determines serial number control at headquarters regardless of where items are used, you define and maintain serial number attribute control at the item master level. If each organization maintains serial number control locally, they maintain those attributes at the organization specific level.
Item attributes: Specific characteristics of an item, such as order cost, item status, revision control, COGS account, etc.
Item master level attribute: An item attribute you control at the item master level as opposed to controlling at the organization level.
Item status: Code used to control the transaction activity of an item.
Deletion constraint: A business rule that restricts the entities you can delete. A deletion constraint is a test that must succeed before an item, bill, or routing can be deleted.
Current on–hand quantity: Total quantity of the item on–hand before a transaction is processed.
On–hand quantity: The physical quantity of an item existing in inventory.
Subinventory:  Subdivision of an organization, representing either a physical area or a logical grouping of items, such as a storeroom or receiving dock.
Locator: Physical area within a subinventory where you store material, such as a row, aisle, bin, or shelf.
Locator control: An Oracle manufacturing technique for enforcing use of locators during a material transaction.
Revision A particular version of an item, bill of material, or routing.
Revision control: An inventory control option that tracks inventory by item revision and forces you to specify a revision for each material transaction.
Lot: A specific batch of an item identified by a number.
Lot control: An Oracle Manufacturing technique for enforcing use of lot numbers during material transactions thus enabling the tracking of batches of items throughout their movement in and out of inventory.
Serial number: A number assigned to each unit of an item and used to track the item.
Serial numbers control: A manufacturing technique for enforcing use of serial numbers during a material transaction.
Min–max planning: An inventory planning method used to determine when and how much to order based on a fixed user–entered minimum and maximum inventory levels.
Reorder point planning: An inventory planning method used to determine when and how much to order based on customer service level, safety stock, carrying cost, order setup cost, lead time and average demand.
Safety stock: Quantity of stock planned to have in inventory to protect against fluctuations in demand and/or supply.
ABC classification: A method of classifying items in decreasing order of importance, such as annual dollar volume or your company’s transaction history.
Cycle counting: An inventory accuracy analysis technique where inventory is counted on a cyclic schedule rather than once a year.
Physicals inventory: A periodic reconciliation of item counts with system on–hand quantities.
Account alias: An easily recognized name or label representing an account charged on miscellaneous transactions. You may view, report, and reserve against an account alias.
Inter–organization transfer: Transfer of items from one inventory organization to another You can have freight charges and transfer credits associated with inter–organization transfer. You can choose to ship items directly or have them go through intransit inventory.
Material transaction: Transfer between, issue from, receipt to, or adjustment to an inventory organization, subinventory, or locator. Receipt of completed assemblies into inventory from a job or repetitive schedule. Issue of component items from inventory to work in process.
Transaction cost: The cost per unit at which the transaction quantity is valued.
Transaction interface: An open interface table through which you can import transactions.
Transaction manager: A concurrent program that controls your manufacturing transactions.
Receipt: A shipment from one supplier that can include many items ordered on many purchase orders.
Return to supplier: A transaction that allows you to return to the supplier items from a fully or partially received purchase order and receive credit for them.
Supplier: Provider of goods or services.
Accounting period: The fiscal period a company uses to report financial results, such as a calendar month or fiscal period.
Average costing: A costing method which can be used to cost transactions in both inventory only and manufacturing (inventory and work in process) environments. As you perform transactions, the system uses the transaction price or cost and automatically recalculates the average unit cost of your items.
Standard costing: A costing method where a predetermined standard cost is used for charging material, resource, overhead, period close, job close, and cost update transactions and valuing inventory. Any deviation in actual costs from the predetermined standard is recorded as a variance.

  1. Miscellaneous Transactions
With a miscellaneous transaction you can issue material to or receive material from general ledger accounts in your current organization. This allows you to issue material to groups that are not inventory, receiving, or work in process such as a research and development group or an accounting department. You can also make manual adjustments to the general ledger by receiving material from one account to inventory, and then issuing that material from inventory to another account.
You can use your user-defined transaction types and sources to further classify and name your transactions. You can use this feature to issue items to individuals, departments, or projects; or to issue damaged items to expense accounts such as scrap. You can perform the receipts for items that were acquired by means other than a purchase order from a supplier. You can also use this feature to load all item on-hand quantities when you start implementing Oracle Inventory.

  1. Sub Inventory Transfers
You can transfer material within your current organization between subinventories, or between two locators within the same subinventory. You can transfer from asset to expense subinventories, as well as from tracked to non-tracked subinventories. If an item has a restricted list of subinventories, you can only transfer material from and to subinventories in that list. Oracle Inventory allows you to use user-defined transaction types when performing a subinventory transfer.

  1. ABC Analysis
Step1: Defining ABC Classes
You use ABC classes to identify the value groupings to which your items belong. You define these classes using your own terminology. For example, you might define classes High, Medium, Low, and later assign your items of highest rank to the High class, those of lower rank to the Medium class, and those of lowest rank to the Low class. You can add to the list of classes you have already defined
Attention: You must assign an ABC class to at least one ABC group.
You can use ABC classes to group items for a cycle count where you count "A" items more frequently than "B" items. When you use ABC classes in this way, you perform an ABC analysis and assign items to classes based on the results of that analysis.
Navigation:              Inventory > ABC Codes > ABC Classes
Screen:         ABC Classes (M1)
DO NOT TYPE OVER EXISTING DATA!  Click on New icon
Class name Description Inactive On
Enter “TXX-Class A” Most Important Items
Enter “TXX-Class B” Medium Importance Items
Enter “TXX-Class C” Lower Importance Items
Click on Save icon and Close the Window.
Step2: Defining and Running an ABC Compile
You can define and compile an ABC analysis for your entire organization or for a specific subinventory within your organization. You choose the compilation criterion, the scope of your analysis, the cost type to use in determining item values, and any additional information that may be conditionally necessary, based on your compilation criterion. The combination of all these parameters constitutes an ABC compile header, identified by the ABC compile name. You use this name to identify any activity pertaining to this ABC analysis.
Navigation:              Inventory > ABC Codes > ABC Compiles
Screen:         ABC Compiles (M1)
  1. Navigate to the ABC Compiles folder window and choose New. The Define ABC Compile window appears.
2. Enter a unique name for the ABC compile.
3. Determine the scope of the analysis by selecting the content level for items to include in the compile.
If you use the entire organization, Oracle Inventory includes all items defined for your current organization in the ABC compile, even those with zero cost or zero quantity. If you use a particular subinventory, Oracle Inventory includes all items for which you have defined an item/subinventory relationship.
Attention: You cannot compile an ABC analysis for a subinventory that is defined as a non-quantity tracked subinventory. You can, however, use non-asset (expense) subinventories for which you track quantities.
  1. Select the valuation scope for determining the ranking of items.
Ranking must be done at the Organization level if you did not select a subinventory in the Content Scope field.
If you only want to include items in a subinventory but you want the ranking to be done based on the organization wide ranking, select Organization.
  1. Select the compile criterion or method of ranking items in the ABC compile.
Oracle Inventory uses the compile criterion to value the items you include in your ABC compile. After determining each item's compile value, Oracle Inventory ranks all the items in your ABC compile.
  1. Enter a cost type.
You can select a value here only if you selected Current on-hand quantity, Current on-hand value, Forecasted usage quantity, Forecasted usage value, MRP demand usage quantity, or MRP demand usage value in the Criterion field. If you are compiling by quantity criterion, the cost type is used for reporting purposes only.
  1. Select an MRP forecast name.
You can select a value here only if you selected Forecasted usage quantity or Forecasted usage value in the Criterion field.
  1. Select an MRP plan name.
You can enter a value here only if you enter MRP demand usage quantity or MRP demand usage value in the Criterion field.
  1. Enter a start (from) date.
You must enter a value in this field if you choose an option other than Current on-hand quantity or Current on-hand value in the Criterion field.
  1. Enter an end (to) date.
You must enter a value in this field if you choose an option other than Current on-hand quantity or Current on-hand value in the Criterion field.

Click on “Assign Items” Button
Step 6: Defining ABC Item Assignments
You can assign and update ABC classes to an ABC assignment group where an ABC compile was also entered. From the ABC Descending Value Report you determine the cutoff points for assigning ABC classes. You can then use the classifications for other purposes such as determining how often you cycle count a given item.
Screen:                  Assign ABC Items (M1)

Click on Save icon
Click on “Assign” Button. Concurrent Program runs.
Observe the following documentation on defining ABC assignments:
  1. Navigate to the Assign ABC Items window, or navigate to the ABC Assignment Groups window and choose the Assign Items button.
  1. Enter the ABC group for which to assign items to classes.
If you navigate from the ABC Assignment Groups window this field is already entered
The Compile Name, Subinventory, Number of Items, and Total Compile Value fields display information for the compile used by the ABC Group.
  1. Specify the cutoff point for each ABC class. Each ABC class must have at least one item assigned to it, and all items in the ABC compile must be assigned to an ABC class. You can use any of the following fields to determine the cutoff points:
Seq: You can enter the sequence number from the ABC Descending Value Report for the last item to be included in each ABC class. Oracle Inventory automatically calculates this value if you choose to assign classes by another method. Oracle Inventory displays the last sequence number as the default for the last class.
Inventory Value: You can enter the cumulative value from the ABC Descending Value Report for the last item to include in each ABC class. Oracle Inventory automatically calculates the maximum value. This maximum value is restricted to the total inventory value compiled and is displayed in the Total Compile Value field. Oracle Inventory displays the total inventory value as the default for the last class.
% Items: You can enter the percent of number of items compiled from the ABC Descending Value Report to include in each class. Oracle Inventory automatically calculates this value if you choose to assign classes by another method.
% Value: You can enter the percent of total compile value from the ABC Descending Value Report to include in each class. Oracle Inventory automatically calculates this value if you choose to assign classes by another method.
Attention: It is possible to have several items in the ABC compile with zero value. If any item with zero value is in a class other than the last class, you may only assign items using the sequence number or item percent.
4. Choose the Assign button to launch the concurrent request to assign the items to the classes in the ABC group.
Day 4
  1. Cycle Count
Cycle counting is a process used to periodically count selected items in the inventory to make sure that the actual inventory balances agree with the computer records.  By setting up a cycle counting program, you can count practically all items in the inventory over a period of 12 months.  This eliminates the need for an annual physical inventory, though some companies do both.  In the Oracle Inventory application, the cycle counting process starts with assigning an ABC value to each item.  Then you select the frequency of counts per year for each category of items.  You want to count A class items more often than C class items.
Before creating a cycle count, you need to generate ABC codes and assign items to these ABC codes.  Also, for items that you intend to cycle count, the Item attribute “Cycle Count Enabled” must be set to “Yes”
Defining and maintaining a Cycle Count
A combination of parameters constitutes a cycle count header, identified by the cycle count name. You use this name to identify any activity pertaining to this cycle count.
You can define and maintain an unlimited number of cycle counts in Oracle Inventory. For example, you can define separate cycle counts representing different sets of Subinventories in your warehouse.
Prerequisites
Define ABC classes.
Define your workday calendar.
When determining cycle count classes based on ABC analysis, you must compile an ABC analysis and assign your compiled items' ABC classes.

Step3: Approve Cycle Counts
This section explains the approval process for cycle count adjustments that Oracle Inventory submits for approval.
At the time a count is entered, the system will compare the count quantity with the on-hand balance quantity.  If there is a discrepancy, the system checks the item’s Measurement Error values (an item attribute).  If the discrepancy is outside the measurement error, the system checks the approval options and adjustment tolerances defined in the Cycle Count.  If the cycle count calls for approvals and the discrepancy is outside the adjustment tolerance, the system will generate a recount request if recounts are turned on in the cycle count, or submit the count for approval.  If recounts are turned on and the maximum number of recounts has been reached, the adjustment is submitted for approval.
When Cycle Counts require approval, the person authorized to do approvals must have access to the Count Adjustments Approvals Summary window.  Those without approval authority must not have access to this window.

  1. Physical inventory
Physical inventory is a process to count all items in selected subinventories or all subinventories for an organization.  A physical inventory may be defined for a single subinventory, selected subinventories, or an entire inventory organization.  Subinventories must be defined as “Quantity Tracked” to be included in a physical inventory.  A physical inventory assumes that all on-hand balances within the scope of the physical inventory will be counted.
The physical inventory process takes a snapshot of the on-hand balances, and generates tags for all items with an on-hand balance.  Counts are recorded against the tag number and compared to the snapshot quantity.  Deltas between the snapshot quantity and the counted quantity will generate adjustment transactions. 
Physical inventory counts are generally performed at the end of a fiscal year, although you may create a physical inventory and perform a count at any time.  When a count is being performed, material movement transactions may continue, but should be limited and controlled if an accurate count is to be assured.  The physical count is compared to a snapshot or frozen on-hand balance quantity, so material movements should not be done from the time the snapshot is taken until the count is completed.
Scenario:                Place five items into your subinventory to use for a physical inventory.
