Corrections

Correcting received lines is the process of correcting the transaction quantity of material received.

You must have a valid receipt before correcting returns. These aspects are important when correcting receipts:

• Correction eligibility

• Lot and serial number information

• Positive correction or negative correction

• Correction updates

• Transfer orders

• E-signatures for approval

Correction Eligibility

You can correct receipt lines if they are associated with a purchase order (PO), advance shipment notice (ASN), return material authorization (RMA), requisition, or in-transit shipment and have one of the following statuses:

• Received

• Accepted

• Rejected

• Put Away

• Transferred

• Returned to Receiving

• Returned to Supplier

• Returned to Customer

In addition, if you select an item for correction, the correction quantity must fall within the tolerance level set for the document. If the correction quantity falls outside the tolerance limit, then appropriate action is taken based on the tolerance action specified for the document.

Lot and Serial Number Information

If you select a receipt line for correction and the corresponding item is either lot or serial controlled, then you must enter the lot and serial information.

If the complete receipt line corresponds to a single lot or serial range, then you can update the lot and serial information directly on the Correct Lines page or the Correct Line page. If not, then you can select the Record Lots and Serial Numbers item from the Actions menu to enter new lots and serial numbers.

In the case of a positive correction, you can generate a new lot or serial number for a lot or serial controlled item. In the case of a negative correction, you can only select from existing lot and serial numbers that already exist for the receipt line.

Positive Correction or Negative Correction

You can enter positive or negative corrections to any receiving transaction. A positive correction increases the receipt line quantity by the specified quantity. A negative correction decreases the receipt line quantity by the specified quantity.

Correction Updates

When you make corrections, the following updates apply:

• When you correct a customer return transaction, the RMA is updated.

• When you correct a receiving transaction, inventory balances are automatically updated if they have already been moved into inventory.

• When you make corrections to a receipt created against an ASN, your purchasing, in transit, and inventory supplies are automatically updated.

Transfer Orders

You cannot correct a transfer order that has been returned or put away.

E-Signatures for Approval

If correct transactions are configured for approval using e-signatures, the E-Signatures page opens when you correct a line and click Submit. Use the page to approve the transaction.

The Electronic Signature IDs are recorded and available from the Manage All Lines and Transaction History pages.

For information about e-signatures, see the Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM: Using E-Signatures and E-Records guide, available on the Oracle Help Center.
