Considerations for Internal Material Transfer Document and Enrichment Rules

Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration provides two setup user interfaces to enable the supply chain orchestration process:

  • Manage Execution Document Creation Rules

  • Manage Supply Order Enrichment Rules

Manage Execution Document Creation Rules

Use the supply execution document creation rules to determine if an internal material transfer should be executed using a transfer order or a purchase order for an organization.

During the supply creation process, if based on the supply execution document creation rules, it is determined that the supply document should be a purchase order, these updates are made:

  • Supply type on the internal material transfer request is updated to Buy.

  • Supplier and supplier site associated to the source organization is used to create supply documents.

Note: You cannot set up documentation rules to create purchase orders for internal material transfers sourced from requisition lines. You make the decision on whether or not to create an internal material transfer or purchase order requisition line at the point of entry of the requisition line in Oracle Fusion Cloud Self Service Procurement.

Manage Supply Order Enrichment Rules

Use the supply order defaulting and enrichment rules to route shipments of items on an internal material transfer request through Oracle Fusion Cloud Order Management. This allows the order manager to view transfer orders, as well as regular customer sales orders, on the Order Workbench, and prioritize shipments from the Order Workbench when needed.

You can set up a business rule for your organization that runs at the time of supply creation and sets the value of the order management shipment option. During transfer order creation, the process evaluates the order management shipment option to determine if the transfer order line should be directly interfaced to Oracle Shipping, or if it should pass through Oracle Order Management (and from Order Management to Shipping).

Note: Internal material transfer requests that originate from back-to-back sales order demands cannot be routed through Oracle Order Management. Also, return transfer orders and intraorganization transfer orders cannot be routed through Oracle Order Management. In addition, expense destination transfers that originate from a requisition cannot be routed through Oracle Order Management.
