Create Supply for Internal Material Transfers

Automatically create supply in response to a request for an internal material transfer.

Use a reservation to link supply to the transfer order. Global Order Promising determines the supply source to use for the transfer, such as a work order in manufacturing, a purchase order, or a transfer order from a different warehouse.

For example.

  1. Create a routing rule that routes internal material transfers to Order Management.

    For details, see Set Up Rules That Create Supply Orders.

  2. Create internal material transfer 218891 with a quantity of 20, then submit it to Inventory Management.

Here's what happens next.

  1. Order Management creates sales order 54735 and sends a supply request to Supply Chain Orchestration.

  2. Supply Chain Orchestration communicates with Global Order Promising.

  3. Global Order Promising applies rules that result in a Make request.

  4. The flow sends a request to Oracle Manufacturing to create a work order.

Assume Manufacturing can only create a quantity of 15 at first, so Manufacturing creates that amount and places it in inventory.

  1. The shipping manager manually splits the shipping line for the transfer order into line A with a quantity 15 that's in Ready to Ship status, and line B with a quantity of 5 that's not yet in stock.

  2. Shipping ships line A, then sends the update to Order Management.

  3. Order Management splits the order fulfillment line into a shipped fulfillment line with a quantity of 15 and another fulfillment line with a status of Awaiting Shipping and a quantity 5.

  4. The inventory manager examines the transfer order and decides not to wait for manufacturing to create more supply. Instead, the inventory manager reduces the quantity on the original internal material transfer to the shipped quantity of 15, then closes the work order.

  5. Inventory sends a change request to Order Management to cancel the remaining quantity.

  6. Order Management updates Supply Chain Orchestration, which sends a request to Manufacturing to close the work order.

Note.

  • You can't route a configured item through Order Management because Order Management doesn't accept a configured item as a line item, but you can include a configured item on an internal material transfer that you don't route through Order Management.

  • You can't include a kit on an internal material transfer because Inventory doesn't process kits, but you can include a kit on a sales order in Order Management.
