Inventory on hand striping attributes for manual transfer supply requests in Supply Chain Orchestration

Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration now supports capturing inventory on hand striping attributes, such as grade, when creating transfer supply requests through the Supply Chain Orchestration UI, REST APIs, and FBDI templates. These striping attributes are automatically passed to Oracle Inventory during transfer order creation and are stamped on the resulting transfer orders, ensuring that inventory movement requests accurately reflect the required inventory characteristics and improving fulfillment precision.

Get these benefits:

Create manual transfer supply requests with the grade inventory on hand striping attribute in these Supply Chain Orchestration flows:
The New Supply Request page
The Supply Requests REST API
The Supply Order Import FBDI template
Transfer order supply requests initiated from the Inventory Item Quantities page
Transfer order supply requests initiated from the transfer order Add Line and Copy Line actions

Improve fulfillment precision by ensuring that transfer orders capture the required inventory grade. This helps you allocate and move inventory according to attribute specific requirements while maintaining inventory traceability.
When you create a manual transfer supply request, specify inventory on hand striping attributes, such as Grade, so that the resulting transfer order reflects the required inventory characteristics.

For requests created from the New Supply Request page, REST API, or FBDI template, Supply Chain Orchestration validates whether Grade is enabled for the item in the destination organization. When Grade is required, provide a valid grade value with the request. Supply Chain Orchestration passes the grade value to Oracle Inventory Management when it creates the transfer order, and Oracle Inventory Management records the grade on the transfer order line.
For requests initiated from the Inventory Item Quantities page, the grade value is passed to Supply Chain Orchestration and displayed on the New Supply Request page.
You can also create transfer supply requests with grade using the Add Line and Copy Line actions on a transfer order.
Navigation: Supply Chain Execution --> Supply Chain Orchestration --> New Supply Request.

Tips and considerations

Use Inventory Attribute Configurations setup task to enable item grade in organizations.
Supply Chain Orchestration validates whether the grade is enabled for the item in the destination organizations.
For Supply Requests REST API and Supply Order Import FBDI requests, provide a valid grade value when Grade is enabled for the item.
This release exposes Grade for these flows. Expiration Date isn't exposed to Supply Chain Orchestration.
Supply Chain Orchestration is designed to support additional on hand striping attributes that Oracle Inventory Management exposes in future releases.
