  2. Locate Recalled Parts

Locate Recalled Parts

You can locate the recalled parts in the supply chain with different traceability statuses.

  • For quantity-tracked locations, you can locate parts by the on-hand inventory balance.

  • For non-quantity tracked locations, you can locate parts based on the historical transactions.

When an item is lot or serial controlled in Oracle Inventory Management, the recalled parts are traced based on the lot or serial information captured in the recall notice. However, if an item is modeled as a plain item in inventory, the recalled parts are traced by the recall period in which you received.

Recall period is the period between the track start and track end date, which you can specify either when creating a notice or while locating the recalled items.

If you specified the recall period when you create the recall notice, you can change that date range when you start locating the recalled items.
Note: You can locate the recalled parts using the supplier part number in addition to the manufacturer part number and master item number.

Here's what you can't locate:

  • Recalled parts residing in a project inventory-enabled organization

  • Recalled parts transferred across business units

  • Items defined with lot, serial, or revision control in inventory that are delivered to the expense destination against purchase orders

  • Items sold to external customers against sales orders

  • Items residing as maintenance assets or customer assets

  • Any recalled parts that are transferred across business units during the recall period. For example, let's say an item was initially received in an inventory organization in BU1. You perform an internal material transfer to move the item to an inventory organization in BU2. Once the item is received in BU2, when you locate recalled parts for the recall notice entered in BU2, the item is found in the that business unit along with estimated recall quantity. The estimated recall quantity considers the internal material transfer from BU1, regardless of whether the identified location is quantity tracked or not.

Prerequisites

You can locate recalled items using lot or serial only in one of these scenarios:

  • Items with lot or serial control in inventory use the same lot or serial numbers as that of the manufacturer

  • Manufacturer lot or serial is defined as supplier lot or serial and is mapped with the internal lot or serial number
