   To define inventory parameters:

1. Navigate to the Organization Parameters window.

2. Select the Inventory Parameters alternative region.

3. Enter an organization code. See: Creating an Organization.

4. Select an Item Master organization.

Oracle Inventory only defines items in the Item Master organization of the organization from which you enter the Items window.

5. Select a workday calendar. This is required when Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Oracle Supply Chain Planning is installed. See: Creating a Workday Calendar.

6. Optionally, select a demand class.

Demand classes segregate scheduled demand and production into groups, allowing you to track and consume those groups independently. Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Oracle Supply Chain Planning uses this demand class during forecast consumption, and shipment and production relief. See: Demand Classes.

7. Indicate whether to allow negative balances.

Determines whether inventory transactions can drive the inventory balance of an item negative.

Attention: If insufficient quantity on hand exists in a supply subinventory to satisfy backflush demand, Oracle Work in Process forces the supply subinventory balance negative, ignoring this option setting.

8. Select a locator control option:

None: Inventory transactions within this organization do not require locator information.

Prespecified only: Inventory transactions within this organization require a valid, predefined locator for each item.

Dynamic entry allowed: Inventory transactions within this organization require a locator for each item. You can choose a valid, predefined locator, or define a locator dynamically at the time of transaction.

Determined at subinventory level: Inventory transactions use locator control information that you define at the subinventory level.

   To continue defining organization parameters:

• Select the Costing Information alternative region. See: Defining Costing Information.
