Troubleshoot Internal Requisition Setup for Internal Material Transfers

A supply source isn't available as source organization for internal material transfers of non-planned items.

To troubleshoot why a particular source organization isn't available, you have to check for these:

  • Identify the destination inventory organization for Oracle Self Service Procurement

  • Review item setup for destination and source organizations

  • Review interorganization parameter setup

  • Review miscellaneous transaction

Identify the Destination Inventory Organization for Oracle Self Service Procurement

On the requisitions page, click Requisition Preferences to check the Deliver-to Location. Then on the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Manage Inventory Organization Locations task to verify the inventory organization associated with the location.

If the location isn't associated with any inventory organization then the default deliver-to organization for the requisitioning BU will be the destination organization. On the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Configure Requisitioning Business Function task to identify the default deliver-to organization for the requisitioning BU.

Review Item Setup for Destination and Source Organizations

As item setup is done at organization level, review the setup for destination organization and source organizations. Go to Product Management>Product Information Management> Manage Items and then search for the item. Ensure these settings for the item:

Review Interorganization Parameters Setup

There should be interorganization parameters setup defined between source and destination organization. Use the Manage Interorganization Parameters task to verify the entries for the destination organization. Make sure you provide the distance and distance UOM as these are used to rank the source organizations.

This is how the ranking works:

Destination Type

How the Ranking Works

Expense Destination

When shopping for expense destinations, the destination inventory organization is used as the preferred source organization. If this isn't desirable, you can set the item as non-stockable in the destination organization.

Inventory Destination

When shopping for inventory destinations and non-planned items, the ranking is determined using the distance values configured for From and To organization pairs in the Manage Interorganization Parameters task. The organization with the lowest rank, or the shortest distance will have priority as the source organization.

Note: On the Enter Requisition Line page, the default value for the source organization is derived in the same way it's derived when shopping. To select a different organization, you can use the Select Source link on the Select Supply Source dialog window.

Review Miscellaneous Transaction

Miscellaneous receipt has to be created for the item to add inventory on hand quantity in the source organization.

You can either use the same cost (Item List Price) that you mentioned while creating the item by setting Use Item Cost as Yes or define the item cost and tax for each inventory organization by setting Use Item Cost as No.

For source organization issues for planned items, refer to the Oracle SCM Cloud Using Order Promising guide.
