Item Organizations

An item organization defines an item when inventory balances aren't stored and inventory storage or inventory movement isn't reflected in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications.

For example, you would use an item organization in a retail scenario, if you need to know the items that are listed by and sold through each retail outlet even though inventory and transactions are recorded in another system. In sales applications, item organizations are used to define sales catalogs.

Note:

• Items belong to an item organization.

• Item attributes that are associated with financial and accounting information are hidden from the item if it exists within the item organization.

• Item organizations can be changed by administrators to an inventory organization by updating the necessary attributes. There's no difference in the way items are treated in these two types of organizations except that there can't be any financial transactions in the downstream applications for items that are assigned to an item organization.
