Example of a PAR Replenishment Purchase Requisition

To generate a purchase requisition in Procurement, you must complete the necessary setups at the subinventory and item subinventory levels. Additionally, you can create a location and associate it with the PAR subinventory.

After running the replenishment process you can review the supply order details and requisition lines. Then, you can generate a purchase order, receive the order, and put away the receipt line.

Scenario

This example of a PAR replenishment purchase requisition covers these steps:

• Define location

• Create subinventory

• Associate item to a subinventory

• Run Replenish Inventory Request REST service

• Process Supply Chain Orchestration Interface process

• Review supply details

• View requisition lines

• Generate purchase orders

• Receive expected shipments

• Put away lines

This table describes each step in the example for a PAR replenishment purchase requisition.

Step	Description
Define location	First, define the location to serve as your final deliver-to location when performing the deliver or put away transaction. Use an address naming convention that allows receiving personnel to route the material to the appropriate replenishment location. Use the Manage Locations page to set up the location. Next, configure the subinventory to serves as the PAR location you intend to replenish. You must enable the PAR Location check box for the subinventory. Also, specify the Replenishment Count Method and Default Replenishment Count Type. You can also associate a location to the subinventory. Optionally, you can create a subinventory group. A subinventory group is a grouping of subinventories that you can use to process PAR replenishment requests. For example, you can define a subinventory group consisting of five individual subinventories. You can then create a replenishment request for all five subinventories instead of creating individual replenishment requests for each subinventory.
Create subinventory	In this example, let's set up the subinventory as non-quantity tracked subinventory. In order to configure a subinventory as non-quantity tracked, set the Material Status field to Active: Not Available for Netting, ATP, and Reservations. Once the material status is set, you can deselect the Quantity Tracked check box. In order to configure the subinventory as a PAR location, you must select the PAR location check box. By configuring the subinventory as a PAR location, you can now select the Replenishment Count Method and Default Replenishment Count Type. Last, assign a location to the subinventory. This location represents the final deliver-to location when you put away the material receipt into inventory.
Associate item to a subinventory	Once you create the subinventory, you must associate your item to the subinventory. The sourcing region on the Add Item to Subinventory page enables you to specify the sourcing type. In this example, let's select Supplier as the source type. The source type of Supplier indicates that the replenishment request will create a corresponding purchase requisition and purchase order to replenish the material to the PAR Level for the item subinventory. In the PAR Settings region, the Replenishment Count Type is automatically defaulted from the subinventory. In this example, the PAR Level has been set to 5 units for the item subinventory association. This means that the replenishment request will be created for 5 units. The PAR Level UOM is automatically defaulted from the item.
Run Replenish Inventory Request REST service	The Replenish Inventory Request REST service manages replenishment requests. When the REST request processes successfully, the return message text indicates the following: M1 Supply Request Batch Number: PAR8001. The process has successfully completed. When submitting the Replenish Inventory Request REST service, you have the option to specify Yes or No for the Submit for Processing parameter. Selecting Yes indicates that the service submits the replenishment request immediately for processing. Selecting No indicates that the service doesn't submit the replenishment request immediately for processing. For those replenishment requests that aren't submitted immediately, you can use the Create Inventory Replenishment Request scheduled process to create inventory replenishment requests. The Create Inventory Replenishment Request process supports these submission parameters: Organization Item Subinventory Subinventory group When the replenishment request is for a requisition, the Replenish Inventory Request REST service creates a supply request batch number. The supply request batch number always has a prefix with PAR for PAR generated replenishment requests. You can use the supply request batch number when submitting the Process Supply Chain Orchestration Interface process.
Process Supply Chain Orchestration Interface process	The Process Supply Chain Orchestration Interface scheduled process creates supply orders based on the Supply Chain Orchestration interface records. To process these records, you must submit the scheduled process. Once you enter the scheduled process parameters, you can submit the request. Let's use these values for our process parameters: Supply Request System: Oracle Fusion Cloud Inventory Management Organization: Enter the inventory organization that generated the PAR replenishment request From Supply Request Batch Number: The batch number will always start with PAR. For example, PAR8001 To Supply Request Batch Number: Enter the ending batch number for a range or supply request batch numbers From Supply Request Date: Starting supply request date To Supply Request Date: Ending supply request date
Review supply details	When the Process Supply Chain Orchestration Interface completes successfully, you can review the supply order details by navigating to the Manage Supply Lines task. Search by the supply request reference number to review the supply lines. The supply request reference number has a prefix of PAR such as in the example PAR8001. When reviewing the supply order details, you can review the supply lines associated with the supply order. When you click on a supply line, you can review the line details. Navigate to the Execution Documents tab to view the purchase requisition number created for the replenishment request.
View requisition lines	You can use the requisition document number displayed in the supply order details to search for the requisition in Procurement. You can navigate to the View Requisition Lines task in Procurement to view the requisition details.
Generate purchase orders	Procurement provides the ability to automatically generate a purchase order from a purchase requisition. The purchase order provides the supplier information indicating which supplier will replenish the material. The ship-to location is identified based on the location associated with the subinventory.
Receive expected shipments	Once the purchase order is in an Open status, it's available for receiving. Navigate to the Receive Expected Shipments page to perform the receipt transaction. You can search by criteria such as purchase order number, supplier, and item. The Receipt Routing field on the purchase order schedule determines how the material is received. The default value is derived from this criteria: Item definition for the ship-to organization Supplier site Receiving option for the ship-to organization Receiving supports the following receipt routing methods: Direct Delivery: Shipments are received into a receiving location and put away in the same transaction. Put away happens automatically upon receipt creation. Standard Receipt: Shipments are received into a receiving location and then put away in a separate transaction. Standard receipts can be inspected or transferred before put away. Inspection Required: Shipments are received into a receiving location and then inspected and put away in separate transactions. You can accept or reject material during the inspection, and put away to separate locations, based on the inspection result.
Put away lines	Depending on the configured receiving process, a put away transaction may be required to deliver the material to the final inventory destination. In this case, you must perform a two-step receipt and complete the put away or delivery transaction to the PAR subinventory. Once you submit the transaction, a confirmation message displays indicating that the receiving created the put away transaction.
