Oracle Ebs R12- Part 1

The base unit for the UOM Class Quantity is "Each." This means that when measuring quantities in this class, the base unit is considered to be one individual item.

To perform an accurate ABC Compile for inventory items using the current on-hand value as the compile criterion, it is necessary to consider both items with on-hand quantity and items costed. This means that the analysis should include items that have both a quantity on hand and a cost associated with them. By considering both factors, the ABC Compile can provide a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the inventory items based on their current on-hand value.

An item reserved at the S/N level is associated with MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS. This suggests that the reservation is specific to a particular serial number of the item. The other options, MTL_SALES_ORDERS, MTL_CMRO_ALLOC_ALL, and OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL, do not directly relate to the concept of serial numbers and would not be the correct association for a reserved item at the S/N level.

The Cycle Count Entries and Adjustments Report will help the client identify those items that consistently require adjustment. This report will provide a list of all the cycle count entries and adjustments made for each item. By analyzing this report, the client can identify the items that frequently require adjustments, indicating a potential issue with their accuracy or handling.

The purpose of the Physical Inventory Snapshot is to provide the baseline for comparison of physical count quantities against system on-hand quantities. This means that it serves as a reference point to compare the actual physical inventory with the inventory recorded in the system. By comparing these quantities, any discrepancies or errors in the system can be identified and corrected. It helps in ensuring the accuracy of inventory records and facilitates effective inventory management.

Weight and physical dimensions are examples of item attributes. Item attributes refer to the specific characteristics or properties of an item. In this case, weight and physical dimensions are specific attributes that describe an item's size and mass. Item attributes are used to provide detailed information about an item, allowing for accurate identification and categorization.

The problem is that the subinventory name cannot be longer than 10 characters.

Before conducting an interorganization transfer for Item A, it is necessary to determine and define a shipping network between the organizations. This means establishing the logistics and transportation routes, methods, and agreements that will be used to physically move the item from one organization to another. This step is crucial in ensuring a smooth and efficient transfer process, as it allows for proper coordination and planning of the transportation logistics involved in the transfer.

The purpose of the profile options INV: CCEOI Commit Point and INV: CCEOI Workers is to set default values for the Import Cycle Count Entries from Open Interface concurrent program. These profile options allow users to specify the number of workers and commit point for the concurrent program, which determines the performance and efficiency of importing cycle count entries from an external system. By setting default values for these profile options, users can streamline the import process and ensure that it runs smoothly.

Dynamic Entry would accommodate the requirement of the client to have flexibility in creating locators based upon receipt of goods. This control type allows for the creation of locators on the fly, without any predefined specifications or restrictions. It allows for the variation in size, weight, and container type of the materials, providing the necessary flexibility for the client's needs.

Approval is required for a Requisition Move Order because it involves requesting and moving materials from one location to another within an organization. This type of move order usually involves the transfer of inventory or supplies from a central warehouse to a specific department or individual. Since this transfer affects inventory levels and may require additional resources, such as labor or equipment, it is important to obtain approval before executing the move order to ensure proper allocation of resources and maintain inventory accuracy.

The correct answer is MTL_DEMAND because this inventory table stores reservations information generated for sales orders.

Costing methods, such as Standard Costing or Average Costing, can be controlled at the inventory organization level. This means that the costing methods are applied consistently across all items and subinventories within the organization. Controlling the costing methods at this level ensures uniformity and simplifies the management of inventory costs.

To ensure that the sales order pick release rule works properly, the "Allow Reservations" flag should be enabled. This flag allows the subinventory to be reserved for specific orders, ensuring that the inventory is allocated correctly and preventing overselling or stockouts. By enabling this flag, the system will consider the subinventory as available for reservation during the pick release process.

The correct answer is "an unlimited number of names" because there is no restriction mentioned in the question regarding the number of distinct ABC Compile Names that can exist at a given time in an inventory organization. Therefore, there can be an unlimited number of names.

MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B is the correct answer because this table stores the item attribute values assigned to a system item. It is specifically designed to store the information related to system items and their attributes. The other options, MTL_ITEM_ATTRIBUTES, MTL_ITEM_TEMPLATES_B, and MTL_STATUS_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES, do not specifically store the item attribute values assigned to a system item.

The client wants to prevent typical inventory transactions from driving inventory levels below zero, but still wants to allow backflush operations to continue even if the inventory level is driven below zero. Therefore, the configuration that meets this requirement is to set the Org Profile option to Allow Negative Balances to No, indicating that negative inventory balances are not allowed, and set the Profile option for INV: Override Neg for Backflush to Yes, indicating that negative inventory balances are allowed for backflush operations.

Replenishment counting is the best method for replenishing free stock items stored on the production floor or office supplies kept in departmental cabinets. This method involves regularly counting the inventory and ordering more items based on the current stock levels. It ensures that the inventory is always replenished in a timely manner, preventing stockouts and ensuring smooth operations. Cycle counting involves counting a small portion of the inventory on a regular basis, while min-max planning sets minimum and maximum stock levels for each item. Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) calculates the optimal order quantity based on demand and holding costs. Enabling the Bulk Picked item master attribute is not related to replenishing stock items.

In the eTRM Technical Reference, the workflows associated with an application can be found in the FND data. FND data refers to the data stored in the Foundation (FND) tables, which contain information about various components and configurations in the Oracle E-Business Suite. These tables store data related to workflows, including their definitions, attributes, and associations with specific applications. Therefore, by accessing the FND data, one can locate the workflows associated with an application in the eTRM Technical Reference.

Reservations can occur after the Receipt Line Deliver transaction. This means that once the items are received from the supplier, they become available for reservation. The client wants to know at what point the inventory is available to reserve, and it is after the Receipt Line Deliver transaction that reservations can be made.

When the cycle count quantity entered for an item falls within both the quantity variance tolerance and the adjustment value approval tolerance, the inventory will automatically approve the actual count entered.

In the Exponential Smoothing Forecast (ESF) method, (alpha) is multiplied by the forecast error to determine the adjustment. This means that (alpha) is used to weigh the importance of the forecast error in making adjustments to the forecast. A higher value of (alpha) will give more weight to the forecast error, resulting in larger adjustments to the forecast.

In a make-to-order manufacturing environment, ACME is implementing Inventory for purchasable items. With the proper profile setup, the Min-max feature can automatically create records in the Purchase Order Requisition interface table. This means that when the inventory for a particular motor falls below the minimum level, the system will generate a purchase order requisition for that item, ensuring that the inventory is replenished. This helps to streamline the procurement process and maintain adequate stock levels for efficient manufacturing operations.

The correct answer is five because the question states that the sales organizations would not transact inventory items, meaning they do not require subinventories. Therefore, the minimum number of subinventories required for this implementation would be one for each inventory organization being utilized at implementation, which totals to five.

Based on the given information, the client initially decided to use Focus Forecasting and then transition to Exponential Smoothing after one year. However, the client has now noticed some definite trends in demand and wants to re-evaluate the forecasting method. In this case, it would be recommended to use Exponential Smoothing with Trend Enhanced Forecasting, Alpha and Beta Coefficients. This method takes into account the trends in demand by incorporating a trend component (beta coefficient) in addition to the smoothing factor (alpha coefficient). This will provide a more accurate forecast considering the observed trends in demand. No additional information is mentioned as needed in the question.

The Exponential Smoothing Forecast (ESF) method should be selected when both trend and seasonal demand patterns are equal to zero. This is because the ESF method is most suitable for forecasting when there is no trend or seasonality in the data. In such cases, the ESF method can effectively capture and forecast the underlying patterns in the data.

The significance of the Shrinkage Rate item attribute is that it represents the average loss of material during manufacturing or storage. This attribute helps in estimating the amount of material that is likely to be lost during the production or storage process. By considering the shrinkage rate, businesses can better plan their inventory levels and production quantities to account for the expected loss of material. This attribute is important for cost control and ensuring that enough materials are available to meet demand despite the expected loss.

The ABC Compile can be performed either at the inventory organization level or at the individual subinventory level. This means that it can be done for the entire organization's inventory or for specific subinventories within the organization. The scope of the ABC Compile is not limited to just one level, but it can be carried out at both levels depending on the requirements. Additionally, the answer does not mention anything about including the same items from all subinventories in the organization, so it is not necessary to include them in the compilation.

To meet the customer's requirements, the subinventory should be set up with Locator Control set to Item Level control. This means that the system will track the inventory at the item level, allowing for specific tracking of high-dollar items by quantity and bin. For low-dollar parts, the customer does not want to specify the bin, so the Locator Control should be set to Dynamic Entry, which allows for the system to assign a bin dynamically without the overhead of specifying it.

The default profile for the min-max planning report in ACME's implementation of Inventory in a Process Manufacturing environment is set to pre-approve requisitions. This means that requisitions will automatically be approved without requiring any user intervention.

The eTRM Technical Reference provides access to three pieces of information: data dictionaries, logical data models, and table relationship diagrams. Data dictionaries contain the definitions and descriptions of all the data elements used in a system. Logical data models represent the structure and organization of data in a system. Table relationship diagrams illustrate the relationships between different tables in a database. These three pieces of information are essential for understanding the data and its organization in the eTRM system.

The Material Workbench allows users to perform four functions: creating move orders, creating and saving queries, changing material statuses, and viewing material in receiving, on-hand quantities, and intransit material.

When the first cycle count actual quantity exceeds the item approval tolerance, Inventory holds the cycle count adjustment for a recount and does not post the adjustment. This means that if the actual quantity exceeds the tolerance, the system will not automatically approve and post the adjustment. Instead, it will hold the adjustment for a recount to ensure accuracy before posting it.

Oracle Purchasing provides receipts/deliveries, ATP supply, and planning supply information to Oracle Inventory. This means that Oracle Inventory receives information about the goods that have been received or delivered, as well as information about the available to promise (ATP) supply and planning supply. This allows Oracle Inventory to accurately track and manage inventory levels, plan for future supply needs, and provide accurate information to other parts of the organization.

To implement reorder point planning, the client needs to change the Inventory Planning Method from min-max planning to Reorder Point planning. Additionally, they need to update the Safety Stock Quantity, Forecast Quantity, Carrying Cost, and Order Cost. The Minimum Order Quantity and Maximum Order Quantity are not mentioned as necessary changes, so they do not need to be modified.

The correct answer is Transit Type = Intransit, FOB = Receipt, Receipt Routing = Standard, Internal Order Required = checked. This setup meets all the given criteria for both sites in Company Z. The transit type "Intransit" allows inventory to travel between the two sites in both directions. The FOB (Free on Board) set to "Receipt" ensures that ownership transfer occurs upon ship confirm. The receipt routing set to "Standard" indicates a two-step receiving process. Finally, the internal order required being checked ensures that only approved orders will be performed.

Org B would have to perform a Receipt by Shipment Number to receive the goods. This type of receipt is used when inventory is transferred from one organization to another within the same company. Since Org A is supplying Org B with inventory on a need basis, an internal requisition has been created and approved. Org B would then use the shipment number provided to perform the receipt and receive the goods.

The TP: INV Cycle Count Entries form requires the Cost Manager interface manager to be active in order to be effective. This is because the Cost Manager interface manager is responsible for managing and updating cost-related information in the system, which is essential for accurate cycle counting. Additionally, the Material Transaction interface manager must be active for the TP: INV Cycle Count Entries form to be effective. This is because the Material Transaction interface manager handles the movement and tracking of inventory, which is necessary for cycle counting to be accurate and up-to-date.

To perform an ABC analysis, it is necessary to link an ABC Compile to an ABC Group and assign an ABC Class to an ABC Group. Linking an ABC Compile to an ABC Group allows for the compilation of data for analysis. Assigning an ABC Class to an ABC Group helps in categorizing items based on their importance or value. Both of these actions are essential in conducting an effective ABC analysis.

When an item count exceeds the approval tolerance specified, Inventory holds the cycle count adjustment for approval and posts it after approval. This means that the system will not automatically approve and post the adjustment, but instead, it will wait for approval before posting the adjustment. Once the adjustment is approved, it will be posted in the system.

When the actual count falls within tolerance, Inventory automatically approves and posts the cycle count adjustment.

When tolerances are set up at all levels (unit cost level, subinventory level, cycle count item level, cycle count class level, and cycle count header level), Inventory considers the tolerance set at the cycle count item level first. This means that if there is a tolerance specified specifically for a cycle count item, it will be prioritized over any tolerances set at other levels.

PTO Kits consist of a standard Bill of Materials (BOM) with mandatory included options. This means that the kit includes a predetermined set of components or parts (standard BOM) that are necessary for its functionality, and certain options within the kit are mandatory and cannot be excluded.

Establishing stock locator flexfields as five segments would meet the requirements of both organizations. INV ORG 1 can utilize all five segments to include the required fields (Building, Stockroom, Row, Rack, and Bin). INV ORG 2, on the other hand, can leave the fifth segment (Position within Bin) with a default value, as it is not required for their business requirements. This solution allows both organizations to have the necessary fields in their stock locators while accommodating their specific needs.

To meet the requirement of separating goods from local and nonlocal sources, the first action is to create a separate subinventory specifically for stocking goods from the local source. This will allow for easy identification and separation of these goods. The second action is to insert a separate subinventory on the purchase order and attach Receiver Notes, indicating that these goods are from the local source. This will ensure that the buyer is aware of the origin of the goods upon receipt. Lastly, it is important to ensure that an item transaction default is not created for the item in the Inventory Organization, as this could potentially mix the goods from different sources.

ATP checking can be specified at the component level, which means that it can be done for individual components or parts that make up a finished product. This allows businesses to have a more accurate understanding of the availability of each component and make better decisions regarding production and fulfillment. By checking ATP at the component level, companies can ensure that they have enough inventory of each component to meet customer demand and avoid any delays or shortages in the production process.

To ensure successful processing of the Import Cycle Count Entries from Open Interface concurrent program consistently, the client should use a specific numerical value for the profile option INV: CCEOI Commit Point. This numerical value will determine the frequency at which the program commits the cycle count entries. By setting a suitable numerical value, the client can ensure that the program commits the entries at the desired intervals, allowing for accurate and efficient processing of the cycle counts.
