Redwood: Reduce Inventory When You Don't Pick or Ship

Reduce the amount of inventory that you have to carry when you don't pick or ship the item that you're selling. Use this feature for each standard, shippable item that you sell.

Realize these benefits:

• Reduce the on-hand quantity in your warehouse.
• Allocate cost and recognize cost of goods sold when you don't pick, pack, and ship your sales orders.

You can already reduce inventory on Oracle Order Management's classic pages. Now you can do it on the redesigned pages too.

Try it:

1. Go to the Order Management work area, then click Sales Order (New).
2. Set values on the order header.
3. Add an order line then set these values:

   Attribute	Value
   Warehouse	Select one.
   Subinventory	Select one.
   Allow Inventory Transaction	Yes

   For example:
   
   
4. Click the icon in the Manage column, then set values for these attributes:

• Revision Number
• Locator
• Lot
• From Serial Number
• To Serial Number

For example:
 

Steps to Enable

You must assign the security policy that you need to use this feature to the role that does the transaction. This policy allows the user to select the locator, lot, and serial number. This example assigns the policy to the Order Entry Specialist job role:

1. Go to the Security Console, query for the Order Entry Specialist (ORA_FOM_ORDER_ENTRY_SPECIALIST_JOB) job role, then click Actions > Edit Role.
2. On the Basic Information page, click Next > Next.
3. On the Data Security Policies page, click Create Data Security Policy, set these values, then click OK:

   Attribute	Value
   Policy Name	Inventory Data Set
   Data Resource	Inventory Organization Its greyed out, but you can set it. Click the magnifying glass.
   Data Set	All Values
   Actions	Manage Inventory Locator Manage On-Hand Quantity Manage Item Lot and Item Serial

4. Click Next > Next > Next > Save and Close.
5. Go to the Scheduled Processes work area and run the Import User and Role Application Security Data scheduled process.

Tips And Considerations

• You can implement the same behavior with the redesigned pages that you can implement with the classic pages. For details, see the content that starts with Reduce Inventory When a Sales Order Doesn't Require Picking or Shipping.
• You can use this feature with a standard, shippable item. You can't use it with configured item or kit.
