Use File-Based Data Import or REST API to Update Projects on Transfer Orders

You can update the project attributes on a transfer order that you import through file-based data import or REST API.

Use this feature to maximize how you use excess supply for transfer orders that do or don't include project details, and to minimize the cost of carrying excess inventory.

You can process a transfer request for a project that Supply Chain Orchestration receives from Supply Chain Planning. You can update project attributes from common to project and task, or from one project and task to another project and task. You can do this on these types of supply:

• On-hand supply
• Transfer order
• Work order
• Purchase order

Here's how it works.

1. You use the Supply Order file-based data import template or the Supply Request REST API to update a transfer order request. The request can include only the project and task, or the complete set of project attributes. For details and examples, go to REST API for Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud, then expand Supply Chain Planning.
2. If the request includes only the project and task, then Supply Chain Orchestration gets default values for the project attributes that the request doesn't have.
3. Supply Chain Orchestration does a Project Accounting Transaction Control (PATC) validation to validate values for all of the project attributes in the request.
4. Supply Chain Orchestration sends the full set of validated project attributes to Inventory Management in the update request for the transfer order.
5. Inventory Management updates the transfer order with the new set of project attributes.
6. If the update fails, then Inventory Management returns an error, and the Supply Chain Orchestration work area displays it.

For details, go to REST API for Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud, then expand Inventory Management > Supply Requests > Supply Request Lines > Distribution Details > Project Flexfields on Distribution Details.
