Reinstate an Original Item or Supplier

If you created a temporary replacement for an item, you can reinstate the original item for purchase when the item is available. You can also reinstate the original supplier.

  1. On the Item Replacement landing page, select the organization.
    Note: When the replacement was initiated, the original purchase agreement might have been end dated. Ensure that there’s a valid purchase agreement line for the original item against the original supplier before you proceed to the next step.
  2. On the Replacement Summary page, click Reinstate Original Item.
  3. On the Reinstatement Options page, you’ll see the source agreement for the original item. Select the purchase agreement for the original item and supplier and click Continue. To reinstate an original supplier, select the original purchase agreement as the source agreement.

    Here’s what happens when you confirm the reinstatement option:

    • An FYI notification is sent to the planners informing them that item reinstatement is in effect and planning for all the replacement item subinventories and locators is disabled.
    • If the item is enabled for MRP planning, the Create Supply After attribute is cleared thereby removing the supply hold, and planned orders can start getting created.
  4. The Purchase Orders page opens and displays a list of purchase orders for the alternate item. Select the purchase orders and click a replacement action to reinstate in bulk.
  5. Click Finish to complete the replacement task. These notifications are sent when you click Finish:
    • A notification is sent to the requesters of the backing requisition on the purchase orders, informing them about the replacement of their originally requested item with the reinstated item or supply source.
    • A notification is sent to the planner through which they can find the item replacement task in Oracle Fusion Cloud Inventory and take further actions to update inventory entities for the reinstated item.

    For more information on notifications, see Configure Business Rules for Item Replacement Notifications.

  6. After the reinstatement, you can review information such as which purchase order lines were impacted or newly created, and which attributes changed. On the Replacement Details page, in the Reinstatement POs section you’ll find the purchase order lines that have undergone mass updates during the reinstatement phase.
