 Enterprise structure
 Hierarchy Model: Oracle Fusion Financials uses an enterprise structure,
which is like a map showing how a company is organized. It helps
understand who reports to whom and how different parts of the company
relate to each other.
 Industry and Business Flexibility: This structure is made to fit different
kinds of businesses, whether they're big or small, in different industries
like manufacturing, services, or retail, and even if they operate in different
places around the world.
 Components: The enterprise structure in Oracle Fusion Financials is
made up of different parts, like building blocks, and each part has its own
job to do.

 Legal Entity

• A legal entity is like a "legal person" recognized by the government.

• It can be a business, an organization, or even a person acting as a business.
• Legal entities have their rights and responsibilities under the law.
• They can own property, enter contracts, and sue or be sued in court.
• Examples include companies, nonprofits, and government agencies.
• Registering a legal entity involves paperwork and compliance with regulations.
• Having a legal entity protects personal assets and separates business from personal
finances.
 Business Entity

• A business unit is a unit of an enterprise that performs one or many business

functions that can be rolled up in a management hierarchy.
• A business unit can process transactions on behalf of many legal entities.
Normally, it has a manager ,strategic objectives, a level of autonomy, and
responsibility for its profit and loss.
 Master Organisation
• An Item Master Organization is a virtual or logical entity within a larger organizational structure,
primarily used for data management purposes.
• It serves as the central repository for defining and organizing information related to items,
products, or inventory items within the organization.
• Other entities within the organization refer to the Item Master Organization to access standardized
and consistent data regarding items.
• For example, when an item is defined within the Item Master Organization, it becomes available
for use across multiple child organizations or subsidiaries within the larger organizational
hierarchy.
• This centralized approach ensures that item data is maintained and managed in a unified manner,
facilitating efficient inventory management and consistency across the organization's operations
 Inventory ,Sub-inventory,Locator

1. Inventory:
1. Inventory refers to the stock of goods or materials that a company holds for production, distribution, or sale.
2. It includes raw materials, work-in-progress items, and finished goods.
3. Managing inventory involves tracking quantities, locations, and movements of items to ensure optimal levels and
availability.
2. Sub-inventory:
1. Sub-inventory is a subset or division of the main inventory storage area within a warehouse or facility.
2. It's used to categorize and organize inventory items based on factors like location, type, or usage.
3. Examples of sub-inventories include shelves, bins, or sections within a warehouse where specific items are
stored.
3. Locator:
1. A locator is a specific physical location within a sub-inventory where inventory items are stored.
2. It provides more detailed information about the exact position of items within the warehouse.
3. Locators help optimize storage space, streamline picking and replenishment processes, and improve inventory
accuracy by precisely identifying where items are located.

Item Creation
Associate Item to Categories
 Phases of Item Life Cycle:

 Design: This phase involves exploring various solutions and selecting the
most effective and efficient way to create the product.
 Prototype: Here, a model is built to solve consumer problems or validate
ideas for testing in the next stage.
 Production: This is the phase where the physical production of the
product takes place.
 Obsolete: This phase occurs when the product is no longer maintained,
required, or functional.
 Item Class:

 Item classes group items with similar properties.

 Defining properties once in an item class allows multiple items to
share those properties, saving time and effort.
 For example, Item A and Item B can share common properties by
being assigned the same item class.
 Item Template

• Templates allow predefined values to be applied to item

attributes.
• When creating an item, a template can be applied to
automatically attach selected attribute values to the item.
 Unit of Measure (UOM):

 UOMs define how items are measured.

 UOMs must be created before items are created or
imported, and they are associated with item classes
 Inventory

Inventory:
• Inventory means keeping track of all the things a company has, like products or materials.
• It's about making sure there's enough of everything needed, and nothing runs out unexpectedly.
• Managing inventory involves keeping a close eye on what comes in, what goes out, and where
everything is stored.
Oracle Fusion Inventory:
• Oracle Fusion Inventory is like a tool that helps businesses handle their inventory more smoothly.
• It helps keep track of stock in different places, like warehouses or stores.
• With Oracle Fusion Inventory, businesses can make sure they have the right amount of stuff in the
right places, which helps things run smoothly in their supply chain.
Sub-Inventory:
• A sub-inventory is like a smaller part of a larger organization.
• It can be a physical area, like a storeroom or a receiving dock, or a logical
grouping of items.
• Every organization must have at least one sub-inventory.
Locator:
• A locator is a specific spot within a sub-inventory where items are stored.
• Think of it as a shelf, bin, or designated area within the storeroom or receiving
dock.
• Locators help keep track of where items are stored and make it easier to find them
when needed.
 Miscellaneous Transactions

Miscellaneous Transactions: These are transfers of materials within a system

that don't require any specific documentation.
Purpose: They are used to make adjustments to the quantity of items in the
system without needing any additional paperwork.
Types:
• Miscellaneous Receipt: Increases the quantity of items on hand for
various inventory adjustments.
• Miscellaneous Issue: Decreases the quantity of items on hand for
various inventory adjustments.

Miscellaneous Transactions
 Sub-Inventory Transfer

This transaction facilitates the transfer of material within an

organization, allowing movement between two sub-inventories.
Also, it enables the transfer of items between two locators
within the same sub-inventory
Navigate to: Springboard -> Supply Chain Execution -> Inventory
Management -> Tasks -> Inventory -> Create Sub Inventory Transfer
Choose "Sub Inventory Transfer" as the type, fill in all required information,
and then Click on the "Submit" button.
 Movement Requests

1. Movement requests are created for transferring materials

within an inventory organization, like a warehouse.
2. These requests provide instructions for warehouse
personnel to pick or move materials.
3. Unlike sub-inventory transfers, movement requests may
require approval.
4. After creating a movement request, a pick slip report is
generated.
5. The pick slip report contains detailed information about the
items selected for the movement, including their location
and quantity.
 Movement Requests
Navigation: Spring Board -> Supply Chain Execution -> Inventory Management-> Tasks-> Inventory-> Manage
Movement Request

Click on + option and then Movement request no will get generated automatically. Select transaction type

Reservations and Picks". Navigation: Springboard -> Supply Chain Execution -> Inventory Management ->
Tasks -> Inventory -> Manage Reservations and Picks
Then from Actions, select Create Picks. Enter the document type and number.
Then Create Pick screen will appear. Select the line and click on create pick slip.
 Lot Control

• Lots represent a quantity of an item with similar specifications or from the

same vendor.
• They can also include multiple receipts from the same vendor or other
chosen criteria.
• Each lot can be subdivided into child lots, allowing for further
categorization.
• Child lots can reflect different characteristics chosen for items within the lot.
• For example,
Example: Boxa tetra pack of milkConsider
of Smartphones illustratesa the concept
shipment ofof lots
smartphones from a manufacturer to a retailer.
• The manufacturer may designate a lot for a specific model of smartphones, all sharing the same
specifications (e.g., model number, color).
• Within this lot, there could be multiple receipts from the manufacturer, each representing a different
shipment or delivery.
• Additionally, the retailer might further subdivide this lot into child lots based on additional
characteristics, such as production batches or serial numbers.
• Each child lot could then be tracked separately, allowing the retailer to manage inventory, sales, and
warranties more efficiently.
 Serial control

• Oracle Inventory allows for complete serial number support in inventory transactions.
• Serial number control can be enabled for specific items, allowing for individual tracking.
• Each unit of an item under serial number control is assigned a unique serial number.
• The same serial number is referenced for each transaction involving that unit.
• This level of tracking enables tight control over every unit of every item in the inventory.
• Examples:
• Automobiles: Each car produced by a manufacturer can be assigned a unique serial number for
tracking purposes.
