Country of Origin Tracking for Inventory Transactions

You can report and track the country of origin on on-hand quantity and inventory transactions in receiving, shipping, and inventory.

Once you select the Enable Inventory Tracking by Country of Origin option on the Manage Inventory Organization Parameters page, country of origin tracking is available to you.

Report and track country of origin when you:

• Receive purchase orders

  Receive and put away lines for a specific country of origin material. The country of origin on the purchase order defaults when receiving the lines.

• Perform inventory transactions

  Use the Create Miscellaneous Transaction task to issue or receive country of origin-specific material. Use the Create Subinventory Transfer task to transfer country of origin-specific material. Use the Create Interorganization Transfer task to transfer country of origin-specific material across inventory organizations.

• Confirm pick slips

  Pick confirm material for a specific country of origin. You may also override the picking recommendation.

• Manage item quantities

  Query and review for on-hand inventory based on country of origin.

• Review completed transactions

  Query and view completed transactions for country of origin-specific material using the Review Completed Transactions task

• Perform cycle counting

  Record cycle count sequences and approve the sequences for country of origin-specific material.

• Perform physical inventory

  Record physical inventory tags and approve the adjustments for country of origin-specific material.

• Import material transactions to costing

  Use country of origin as an additional valuation structure attribute to track costs and value inventory.

• Ship material

  Ship and quick ship the shipment lines with or without the country of origin-striped material.

Once you identify the country of origin details on a receipt, those details are then tracked by the various inventory functions that handle material within a warehouse. Tracking by country of origin helps you to maintain reporting compliance on import and export documents, take advantage of country specific trade agreements or other trade programs, and identify risk in supply chain sourcing as tariffs change.

Note:

• Reservations don't support country of origin.

• Country of origin is view only during inspection and put away transactions.

• You can't stripe consigned inventory material for country of origin.
