How You Transfer Project-Specific Inventory
Transfer project-specific inventory is part of the Project-Driven Supply Chain solution which is an end-to-end, integrated solution across Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain and Project Management applications. It supports business processes to transfer project-specific material to another inventory organization, or within an inventory organization. It lets you automate the transfer of project-specific materials for multiple projects and carry forward project attributes throughout the entire transfer.
Here's the high-level process flow to transfer project-specific inventory:
-
The process starts with the creation of a transfer order with project details based on one of these cases:
-
A requisition from Self-Service Procurement
-
A supply request from Supply Chain Orchestration
-
A transfer planned order from Supply Planning
-
-
Then, transfer order lines create shipment lines, which are pick released and pick confirmed.
-
Depending on the item definition, the shipment of material comes from either project inventory or common inventory.
-
Once the shipment is confirmed, the application transfers the shipment transactions with associated project details to Costing.
-
Costing creates the cost accounting distributions and you can review the project details for accounting distributions.
-
You can import costed and accounted transactions from supply chain into Project Portfolio Management.
-
If the cost incurred against the project is a billable cost, you can bill the customer based on the percentage of completion or milestones achieved on the project. If it's a capitalizable cost, you can execute the capitalization flow. If needed, you can allocate costs to other projects, project tasks, or accounts as appropriate.
