Example of Consigned Inventory Accounting of an Interorganization Transfer Within the Same Business Unit

An intraorganization transfer is a trade transaction involving the movement of goods or services between organizations in the supply chain. The following is an example of accounting performed by Oracle Cost Accounting and Oracle Receipt Accounting for an interorganization transfer of goods within the same profit center business unit.

This example illustrates:

  • Transactions captured in Oracle Inventory Management and interfaced to Cost Accounting and Receipt Accounting.

  • Accounting entries that Cost Accounting and Receipt Accounting generate for the forward flow.

  • Accounting entries that Cost Accounting and Receipt Accounting generate for the return flow.

Scenario

Supplier Advanced Network Devices (AND-Fresno) ships the goods in consigned status to inventory organization M3-NY, who in turn transfers the goods to inventory organization M4-NJ. Inventory organizations, M3-NY and M4-NJ, are within the same business unit.

Interfaced Transactions

Cost Accounting and Receipt Accounting receive the following transaction from Inventory Management:

  • Consignment Purchase Order (PO) #1000.

  • Purchase Order price USD 100.

  • Ship-to organization is M3-NY which is also the contingent owner. Contingent owner assumes ownership from the supplier when inventory is consumed.

  • Receipt and put away transactions are performed in M3-NY in consigned status.

  • Goods are transferred in consigned status from M3-NY to M4-NJ.

  • Ownership changes from supplier to M4-NJ through M3-NY when the goods are consumed.

Cost Accounting generates transactions for:

  • Ownership changes from supplier AND-Fresno to inventory organization M3-NY and from M3-NY to M4-NJ.

  • Transfer of goods from M3-NY to M4-NJ. The transfer is at cost because the organizations are within the same profit center business unit.

Analysis

Receipt Accounting and Cost Accounting create accounting distributions for the forward and return shipment of goods.

Accounting Entries

The following are accounting entries for the forward flow.

Inventory organization M4-NJ returns goods to supplier AND-Fresno. The return of the consignment is executed in two parts:

  • An interorganization transfer from M4-NJ to M3-NY. The accounting is the same as simple purchase order return transactions.

  • A consignment return from M3-NY to the supplier. The accounting is the same as regular return to supplier transactions.
