INVENTORY:

1. A)

What is item import? How is it done? The process of converting inventory items from another inventory system, migrating assembly and component items from a legacy manufacturing system, converting purchase items from a custom purchasing system and importing new items from a product data management package into Oracle Inventory. This import mechanism is achieved through a concurrent program called Open Item Interface. Custom programs are e ecuted prior to item interface and this gets data from the e ternal systems into the interface tables such as !T"#$%$T&!#IT&!$ #I'T&()AC& and !T"#IT&!#(&*I$IO'$#I'T&()AC&. Item Interface program is then run which actually imports the items and revision information from the above mentioned interface face tables into the base tables such as !T"#$%$T&!#IT&!$#+, !T"#IT&!#(&*I$IO'$. Item Interface assigns defaults and validates the data to ensure data integrity before feeding data into base tables.

&. What are Temp"ates? Templates are the defined set of attributes that can be used over and over to create similar items. Templates initial definition of items easier. Oracle has provided certain predefined templates such as -ATO !O.&", ATO O0TIO' C"A$$, and )I'I$5&. /OO. etc). Templates can also be 3ser defined . '( What are )tat%s *odes? A) $tatuses are used to provide default values to certain item attributes to control the functionality of an item. $tatuses typically default 6 item attributes namely, +O! allowed, build in 7I0, Customer orders enabled, internal orders enabled, invoice enabled, transactable, purchasable, stockable. .ifferent status types include Active, Inactive, &ngineer, obsolete, 0hase8out, 0rototype, O0!. +. What are *ate,ories and *ate,or- )ets? A) Category is a code used to group items with similar characteristics such as plastics, metals or glass items etc. A subset of categories grouped together is termed as a Category set. Typical category sets include purchasing, materials, costing and planning. .. What is /ic0 Re"ease? A) 1. What are 2ot N%m!ers and )eria" N%m!ers? A) 2ot n%m!er is a number that identifies a specific batch of items. )eria" N%m!er is a number assigned to each unit of an item and used to track the item. 3. What are 2ocators? A) A locator is a physical area with in the sub inventory where you store material such as a row, aisle, shelf, or a bin etc. 14. What is a )%! In5entor-? It is a subdivision of an organi9ation representing a physical area or a logical grouping of items such as store room or a receiving dock. 11. What are the f"e6fie"ds in In5entor- mod%"e? A) Item :ey )le field, Category :ey )le field.

They are i) 0(I!A(%#3'IT#O)#!&A$3(& from I'*, .efine 0rimary 3nit of !easure ii) I'*&'TO(%#IT&!#$TAT3$#CO.& from I'*, .efine Item $tatus
