Locate Recalled Parts

After duplicate validation is performed on a recall notice and the notice is retained, you can initiate the Locate action.

This action submits the scheduled process Locate Recalled Parts, which traces the recalled items within your facility across the following locations:

• Perpetual inventory locations

• Par locations

• Expense locations

It also checks for any in-transit shipments or unfulfilled purchase orders associated with the recalled items.

If an item is lot or serial controlled in Oracle Inventory Management, the application traces the recalled parts using the lot or serial information captured in the recall notice.

If the item is a plain item (not lot-controlled or serial-controlled) or a non-catalog item, the application uses the recall tracking period to trace the affected parts. The recall tracking period is defined as the time between the distribution start date captured in the recall notice and the current date. If the distribution start date is not captured, the application instead uses the time fence defined in Recall Parameters. For more information about configuring time fence, see the Set Up Recall Parameters topic under the Product Recall Management section in the Implementing Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management guide.

You can override these dates during the Locate action, especially if the recall notice provides specific distribution dates. For more information about configuration details, see Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM: Implementing Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management guide.

Note: Recalled parts residing in project inventory-enabled organizations are currently out of scope and will not be traced by this process.

Also, currently, track and trace of recalled items at the LPN level is not supported for LPN-enabled organizations.
