How You Create an Ad-Hoc Transfer Order Request

You can create ad-hoc internal material transfers directly from the Manage Item Quantities page.

Select the Request Transfer Order item from the Actions menu to request an ad-hoc transfer of goods. This initiates the Create Supply Request page where you can enter your transfer order details, create the transfer order, and submit it for processing.

If you previously selected an item on the Manage Item Quantities page, that item is prepopulated when you access the Create Supply Request page. You can add additional items to the transfer order request directly from the Create Supply Request page. You can also select the Request Transfer Order action without first selecting an item. This enables you to create a transfer order for any item, even if it does not currently have a balance history in inventory.

Note: You must implement the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management offering to create ad-hoc order requests.

Inventory and Expense Destinations

You can enter both inventory destination and expense destination transfers on the Create Supply Request page, as well as interorganization and intraorganization transfer orders.

Select Supply Source

To identify the source organization for the transfer order request, use the rule-driven Select Supply Source page by clicking the Select Supply Source button. This page ranks the different source organizations based on previously-established sourcing rules set up in Oracle Global Order Promising. The individual source organization alternatives are displayed along with available inventory quantities at those organizations. If the item is not a planned item, then ranking is performed using the distance values that are set up for the given from and to organization pairs on the Manage Interorganization Parameters setup page.

Supply Details

To enter additional details for the transfer order request, click the Supply Details icon on the detail line.

This enables you to:

Manually enter a source organization.
Change the destination type between inventory and expense.
Enter a source subinventory.
Enter a destination location for expense destination transfers.
