1. How WMS is helpful compared to Inventory
Ans: Warehouse Management (WMS) enables companies to maximize their utilization of labor,
space and equipment investments by coordinating and optimizing resource usage and material
flows. Specifically designed to support the needs of distribution, manufacturing, asset-intensive, and
service businesses, Oracle WMS provides a single-platform across your entire global supply chain.

Ans: After you define your rules, you must set up a strategy and then associate the applicable rules.
After you assign rules to a strategy, the rules engine can execute the strategies on any objects to
which the strategy applies. The rules engine executes each subsequent rule in your strategy until an
allocation is completely filled.
6. How many types of bar codes are there
Ans: Mainly 2 types Linear (1 dimensional) and Matrix (2D)

1. What is an item?
An item is a part or services where you can Purchase, Sell, Plan,
Manufacture, Stock, Distribute and Prototype.
Items can also be containers for items as well as components you build into
other items.
2. Explain Item Master Organization?
An item master organization is a logical entity where you define the item. After
you define an item in the item master, you can assign it to any number of other
organizations.
3. Define Inventory Organization?
It is a facility which will enable you to store and transact the items. It can be a
manufacturing unit, ware house, distribution center etc.
4. What is a subinventory?
Subinventiries are unique physical or logical separations of material inventory.
These can be raw material, finished goods or defective material subinventory.
You must define at least one subinventory. Subinventories are of two types:
storage and receiving
Storage subinventories are intermediate or final put away locations for
material. Material that resides in a storage subinventory appears in on hand
quantity, and is tracked by the system. The system can book orders against,
and use manufacturing processes on material that resides in a storage
subinventory. You must define at least one storage subinventory for your
implementation.
Receiving type subinventory is only used for receiving items. Items in this
subinventories cannot be on-hand or reserved
5. In which table does the subinventory related information for an item is
stored?
MTL_SECONDARY_INVENTORIES
MTL_ITEM_SUB_INVENTORIES
6. What is a stock locator?
Locators are structures within subinventories. Locators are the third level in
the enterprise structuring scheme of Oracle Inventory. Locators may represent
rows, racks, or bins in warehouses. You can transact items into and out of
locators. You can restrict the life of locators, establish capacity of a specific
locator in weight or units, as well as specify dimensions which define a
locators capacity by volume.
7. What are the Key flex fields in oracle Inventory?
Oracle Inventory provides the following flexfields:
System Items, Item Catalogs, Item Categories, Stock Locators, Account Alias

Select organization assignment from tools menu and assign the item to
different inventory organizations by ticking the checkbox next to the inventory
organizations.
9. What are item attributes?
Item attributes are the collection of information about an item. These are used
to store specific characteristics of an item, such as item status, unit of
measure, revision control, etc. these can be controlled at either the master or
the organization level. These attributes are stored in a table named
MTL_ITEM_ATTRIBUTES
can place hold on the material with the intention of picking it up a little later. In
subinventory transfer, there is no reservation / allocation.
21. What are the Components used in Customizing a Transaction?
The following are the three components used in a transaction
Transaction Source Type
Transaction Action
Transaction Type
A Transaction Source Type and a Transaction Action come together to form a
Transaction Type.
22. What is a Transaction source type?
A Transaction Source Type is defined as an entity against which Oracle
Inventory charges a transaction. The following transaction source types come
seeded with Oracle Inventory:
Purchase Order
Account Alias
Move Order
Internal Order
Standard Cost Update
Internal Requisition
Sales Order
Cycle Count
Periodic Cost Update
Physical Inventory
Account
RMA (Return Material Authorization)
Inventory
Job or Schedule
23. What is a transaction type?

transaction action. It is used to classify a particular transaction for reporting
Volume of production
28. Define ABC analysis?
ABC analysis determines the relative value of a group of inventory items
based on a user specified valuation criterion.
This technique divides inventory into three categories A, B & C based on their
annual consumption value.
It is also known as Selective Inventory Control Method (SIM)
29. What is consignment inventory?
Consignment Inventory is inventory that is in the possession of the customer,
but is still owned by the supplier. In other words, the supplier places some of
his inventory in his customers possession (in their store or warehouse) and
allows them to sell or consume directly from his stock. The customer
purchases the inventory only after he has resold or consumed it. The key
benefit to the customer should be obvious; he does not have to tie up his
capital in inventory. This does not mean that there are no inventory carrying
costs for the customer; he does still incur costs related to storing and
managing the inventory
30. What are the different planning methods available in Oracle?
Re-order point planning
Min-Max planning
Kanban cards
Subinventory replenishment planning
31. When should the material be ordered?
When on-hand quantity + supply demand is less than safety stock (safety
stock is nothing but minimum inventory level)
[On-hand quantity] + [supply] [demand] < [min inventory level]
32. Explain re-order point planning?
Reorder point planning uses demand forecasts to decide when to order a new

Pick Selection : This will find all the eligible orders which can be picked as per the release
criteria(pick release rule) used. If the order does not satisfy the criteria, the the shipping
transaction form will remain in the same status like, Next step as Pick Release.
Move Order Allocation: After the selection of orders, this will try to allocate the Move orders
created. If selection criteria met but due to any reason, allocation of move order could not happen,
the step will be back ordered.
Major reasons for back order are
At the time of releasing source subinv and locators are Active or not
Inventory Periods
Item Status
If Lot controlled, check whether the Lot is Active or not also the expiration date is valid or not
Shipping network should have been defined betwwen sourcing and to organization.
Transfer Type, if it is in transit then in destination reciving should be standard receipt and
receipt needs to be done manually. If it is direct then receiving should be done in destination
directly.
As Internal SO will generate, so there should be a customer in the source OU with the
Line source type should be External, this can be defaulted from Item or order type.
Drop ship workflow should have been assigned to the line type
Ship to location should have associated with the purchasing receiving location
Define the item as Customer ordered, customer orderable, purchased, purchase order
enabled
