External Page Linking From Manage Item Quantities

You can dynamically pass attributes to link to an external page form the Manage Item Quantities page.

Overview

Use Page Composer to insert a link on the Manage Item Quantities page and pass attributes like organization, item, and lot into the link. For example, using the item, lot, and serial number details returned from your search on the Manage Item Quantities page, you can insert a link that takes you directly to another page within Oracle Fusion Cloud Inventory Management or to a page within an external execution system.

On the Manage Item Quantities page, the lot link displays above the lot node. You can click the link to navigate to the Manage Lots page or to a page within an external execution system. This link is useful when you want to view additional details for the lot or edit lot-related information.

Note: If you want to link to an external execution system, the attributes you use for navigation must already support deep links.

Example

External linking helps you quickly move from viewing item availability on the Manage Item Quantities page to taking specific actions on another page. For example, let's say there's a quality issue with a specific lot, and you want to ensure that goods from that lot aren't used. First, you can confirm that there's on-hand quantity for the lot on the Manage Item Quantities page. Then, using the new link you created on that page, you can immediately go to the Manage Lots page to change the lot's material status to ensure goods from that lot aren't used.
