How You Manage Country of Origin on Item and Item Categories in Work Execution

You can choose to exempt tracking country of origin for some of the items and item categories.

In certain scenarios, you may not want to track the country of origin (COO) for items. For example, a company has a warehouse and manufacturing plant setup as separate organizations in Oracle Fusion Cloud Inventory Management. The warehouse requires tracking the COO for all goods in the warehouse, but the manufacturing plant only needs to track the COO for the finished goods they produce. In this scenario, both organizations are enabled for COO tracking. When the warehouse ships its components used in producing finished goods to the manufacturing plant using an internal material transfer, the COO striping from the warehouse is carried over to the manufacturing plant. However, because these goods are used only as components of the finished goods, the manufacturing plant doesn't need to enforce COO for these items. To improve efficiency, the manufacturing plant can disable the COO tracking for these component items while maintaining COO tracking for the finished goods.

Here's how you exempt COO tracking:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Configure Inventory Attribute Exceptions task in the Inventory Attribute Exception business object.
2. On the Configure Inventory Attribute Exceptions task page, create new attributes exceptions based on items or item categories.
3. Click Save.

   You won't be able to select a country of origin for the selected items and categories.
