You also need to configure your Receiving Options and input your Accounting for Receiving.

Note, now you have configured your inventory organization. You need to do the same thing for all your inventory orgs (that is you need to configure the Additional Organization Information for all your inventory orgs).

Platform: R12, 11.5

Refer to document ‘Create Inventory Organization‘.

Define Organization Parameters

1. Inventory Parameters





[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="716" caption="Inventory Parameters"]Inventory Parameters[/caption]

Before defining any Inventory Organization, we need to have a Master Inventory Organization which acts as a central repository for items. After we have defined the Master Inventory Organization, we need to define its organization parameters. Generally we give the code 'IMM' to denote the Inventory Item Master Organization.

We need to attach the Master Organization in the Organization parameters. Attach the Inventory Calendar.

Refer to document 'Define Inventory Calendar'.

Configure the Inventory Parameters including locator control.


2. Costing Information

      iProcurement - Enabling DFFs on iProcurement

      Oracle allows you to enable your Requisition Forms at 3 levels: header, line and distributions.

      These are the descriptive flexfields you have to customize:

      1. Requisition Headers

      2. Requisition Lines

      3. Requisition Distributions


      They will automatically appear on the forms. However for them to work on iProcurement, you have to personalize the 'Checkout Page' and enable the DFF.

      (A detailed explanation of how to do that with the appropriate screenshot will follow tomorrow).

      You should note that context is not enabled with iProcurement. You have to define your DFFs at the 'Global' level.

      DFFs are not available for Receiving on iProcurement.

      Information is valid for 11.5.10
