How You Manage VMI Network

You create vendor-managed inventory (VMI) relationships between suppliers, organizations, and item combinations. Based on the relationships, the Manage Inventory page displays the items to be replenished by the supplier. The Manage VMI Network page displays the list of VMI relationships. You can use the search section to view the relevant VMI relationships. For example, you can view all the relationships defined for a specified organization or item.

Note: You must have the Supply Chain Application Administrator role to configure Oracle Supply Chain Collaboration.

You can access the Manage VMI Network page from the Supply Chain Collaboration work area. On the Manage VMI Network page, you can perform the following actions:

  • Search for relationships

  • Create new relationships

  • Modify relationships

  • Delete relationships

You can view this page only when vendor-managed inventory is enabled. For more information on enabling vendor-managed inventory, see the Implementing Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management guide.
