Oracle Purchasing - Version 12.0.0 to 12.1.3 [Release 12 to 12.1] Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal
What are the basic setup steps required to use the Internal Requisition Functionality?

Fix
Testcase Scnario: The following setups will demonstrate the flow of an Internal Requisition between two inventory organizations. M1 - Seattle Manufacturing will represent the destination organization M2 - Boston Manufacturing will represent the source organization In this example, the item will be procured internally from the M2 - Boston Manufacturing inventory organization The following responsibilities are utilized in this example: Purchasing Super User (or equivalent) Order Management Super User Inventory

Step 1 - Creating the Item


Purchasing Super User - Navigation: Items/Master Items

In the Vision Demo instance, the Purchasing and Order Management Attributes are controlled at Item Master level. By choosing the attributes at the item master level (V1) automatically sets these attributes for all organizations which are assigned (ex. M1 and M2). By choosing the attributes at the Item Master level - they are already set for all inventory organizations assigned.

Step 2 - Creating the Shipping Network


Inventory: Navigation: Setup/Organizations/Shipping Networks

Enter the Inventory Organization that will be the Source and the scope should be From or To Organizations Choose the Transfer Type: 1. Direct - means that when the Internal Sales Order is shipped the receipt process in the destination organization is done automatically 2. Intransit - means that when the Internal Sales Order is shipped - the destination inventory organization has to manually do the receiving process in Purchasing Choose Internal Order Required checkbox - Save In this example, the setups are being done to allow the user to Enter a Receipt in M1 after the item has been shipped from M2 (Intransit).

Please Note - If the Source and Destination Inventory Organizations are the same, then this step is conditionally not required. (Essentially the Item is being transferred between subinventories in the same Inventory Organization).

Step 3 - Create the Internal Location


Purchasing Super User: Setup/Organizations/Locations

Enter a Location Name - for the Internal Location This is the location that is used as the Destination Location The Location will eventually be tied to a customer

Choose the Other Details tab, enter the Inventory Organization for the Destination Organization. The location created will be used to tie the Destination Location in the requisition form to the Internal Customer to be used on the Sales Order form. Purchasing does not allow the entry of a Customer - therefore it passes the location to Order Management. During Order Import in Order Management - the system locates the Customer Record to which the Location is assigned. Associating the location to the customer record will be done in the later steps.

Step 4 - Conduct a Miscellanous Transaction (Receipt)

Choose the Inventory Organization that will be the Source Inventory Organization - Ex. M2 Enter 'Miscellaneous Receipt' as the type and Choose the Transaction Lines button Enter the Item Created and then a subinventory, quantity, etc.. This step is being done to satisfy the Internal Sales Order which is created, as it ensures that there will be ample quantity On Hand (in M2) to perform the shipping portion of the Internal Sales Order process from the M2 inventory organization.

Under the Order Management section, there is a field 'Internal Location' Enter the Location that was created in Step 3 (Ex. M1-Internal Location) Apply and save the record

PLEASE NOTE: The Customer must be created in the Operating Unit of the Source Inventory Organization that is used on the Internal Requisition. You can check the Operating Unit for the Source Inventory Organization by using the following sql: select 'The Inventory Organization ' ||oo.organization_code||'has the inventory organization ID of ' ||oo.organization_id||' and is under the Operating Unit' ||hro.name||' which has the Operating Unit ID of '||oo.operating_Unit from org_organization_definitions oo, hr_all_organization_units hro where upper(oo.organization_code) like upper('%&INV_ORG_CODE%') and hro.organization_id = oo.operating_unit; Pass in the Source Inventory Organization Code - and then ensure the Customer is created in the Operating Unit for the Source Inventory Organization.

Step 6 - Item Price Information


Purchasing Super User: Items/Master Items The price used on the requisition comes from the item costs section.

Query back the item Choose from the top text menu - Tools/Item Costs The screen to follow shows the item price that is used when creating the Internal Requisition. This is how purchasing derives the price when creating the Internal Requisition. It uses the price for the Cost - in the Source Inventory Organization. Whatever the price is in the Source Inventory Organization used on the requisition - the price is derived. The reason is that the Sales Order is being created in the Source Organization, so the price in the Source Organization must be used.

Step 7 - Creating the Requisition


Purchasing Super User: Navigation - Requisitions/Requisitions

In the Order Type Field - change the Order Type to Internal Click into the Lines Region on the Item field At this point - look to the Destination fields - this information is fetched from the Employee Record If the Destination Inventory Organization is not proper - move to that field and change it

https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_adf.ctrl-state=to4ue3nr7_132

If the Destination Inventory Organization is not proper - move to that field and change it If the Location is not the internal location - move to that field and change it to the new Internal Location

Approve the requisition. Question: Why is the Following Error message encountered : 'Destination location requires customer association.' The reason for this error is that the code is trying to match the Location that is currently entered on the form to a customer, and the customer association is not found. This was done earlier in step 5. The solution to this error is to setup the employee record to default a location that was associated with a customer (as in step 5 above) or prior to entering the item, move to the destination section of the form and enter an inventory organization and location that is properly assigned to a customer, followed with entry of the item.

Question: Why is the Source Inventory Organization Not showing the inventory organization which was setup in the shipping networks? If the internal requisition is going to be for a cross operating unit scenario - then it should be noted that the HR: Security Profile is used. Both operating units for which the inventory organizations belong too must exist in the HR: Security Profile. To confirm the operating units for the inventory organizations - this sql can be used: SELECT oo.operating_Unit OU_id, hro.name Oper_Unit, oo.organization_code inv_org FROM org_organization_definitions oo, hr_all_organization_units hro WHERE oo.organization_id in (207, 204) and hro.organization_id = oo.operating_unit; Confirm that the operating units in the given output exist in the security profile that is set for the HR: Security Profile - profile.

Step 8 - Submitting the Create Internal Orders Concurrent Request

This process is responsible for inserting data into the Order Management interface Tables. One of the fields that is inserted is the location_id - and because Order Management uses Customers rather than locations - this is why it is mandatory to assign the Internal Location to the Customer. The location that is passed from purchasing is correlated to a customer so as to allow the Order Import to run successfully. Please note that the calculate_price_flag is inserted as N into the Order Management interface tables. This means that Purchasing is going to pass the price and it will not be impacted or recalculated when imported into Order Management. This is proper functionality. We are currently tracking on Enhancement Request Bug 3095239 that would allow the use of an Internal Price List.

The following sql can be used to review the data in the oe_iface tables. SELECT * FROM OE_HEADERS_IFACE_ALL WHERE order_source_id = 10 AND orig_sys_document_ref IN (SELECT REQUISITION_HEADER_ID FROM PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALL WHERE segment1 = '&requisition_number'); SELECT * FROM OE_LINES_IFACE_ALL WHERE order_source_id = 10 AND orig_sys_document_ref IN (SELECT REQUISITION_HEADER_ID FROM PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALL WHERE segment1 = '&requisition_number'); Pass in the requisition number when prompted. Question: How can the interface data for Internal Requisitions be viewed in the Order Management Module? This is possible using the Order Management Responsibility - and navigating to Orders/Import Orders/Corrections Choose an order type of Internal In Order Reference use the List of Values to locate the Requisition Number If the Requisition is not located - it has either been created into a Sales Order or not inserted into the tables by the Create Internal Orders program The records are viewable at this stage and can be deleted. PLEASE NOTE - if records are going to be deleted, it is necessary to Delete the Lines first and then the header Be sure to choose Lines first - and then choose the delete icon from the toolbar - then delete the header Deletion of the header record will NOT delete the line - it is not a cascade delete option. If the header is deleted prior to the line - it is not possible to ever again locate the line in this form - sqlplus will have to be used to remove the line. Enhancement Bug 4966920 has been created to improve this form and add the cascade delete functionality and now is implemented with the following Patch 13702362 - AFTER HEADER IS DELETED, ORPHAN DATA IS LEAVED IN SALES ORDER INTERFACE TABLES>>

Patch 13702362 - AFTER HEADER IS DELETED, ORPHAN DATA IS LEAVED IN SALES ORDER INTERFACE TABLES>> Question: How can the Internal Requisition be resubmitted to the Order Management interface tables? In the po_requisition_headers_all and po_requisition_lines_all table there is a column 'transferred_to_oe_flag'. Setting this column to a value of 'N' followed with a run of the Create Internal Orders process will again post the requisition data into the Order Management interface tables. There are currently no options available through the Oracle Purchasing forms that allow the updating of this flag, so sqlplus would have to be used.

Question (Problem): When Running the Create Internal Sales Order Process - it completes with Success but no records are inserted into the Order Management Interface Tables? When the internal requisition is created the code needs to validate that the customer was created in the Operating Unit that the Source Inventory Organization belongs too. When the Create Internal Sales Order process runs, if the Deliver to Location is not tied to a Customer Ship To Site in the Operating Unit of the Source Inventory Organization used on the requisition - then it will not insert data into the oe_headers_iface and oe_lines_iface table. Please review the previous step 5 and use the sql given to ensure that the Customer was created in the Operating Unit that belongs to the Source Inventory Organization. For this example, it would be required to check the Purchasing Options for the Operating Unit which M2 is belonging too. VERY IMPORTANT ALSO REGARDING Create Internal Orders - In Release 12 you must make sure that you are choosing an Order Type in the Purchasing Options - that was created in the SAME operating unit for the Purchasing Options you are setting up. Ex. If you are in the Germany Purchasing Options - then ensure you choose a Order Management Order Type that was created in Germany Order Management. BEWARE - The list of values for Order Type is showing Transaction Types from other Operating Units. So, if you are in Germany Purchasing Options and then choose a France Created Transaction Type - no Records will be inserted during the Create Internal Orders Process. This is fixed in Release 12.1.1 and beyond. Also, remember that whatever the Source Inventory Organization that is used on the Internal Requisition - the purchasing options must be setup for that Source Organizations Operating Unit. So if the internal requisition has two inventory organizations from different Operating Units - ensure the Purchasing Options have been setup for both of the Inventory Organizations Operating Units - as the code is going to check the Purchasing Options from the operating unit of the Source Organization to obtain the Order Type to use - as the Sales Order is going to be created in the Source Organizations Operating Unit. Question: Does the Purchasing Create Internal Orders process pass flexfield values from the Purchase Requisition? Currently, the Create Internal Orders process does not pass any values from flexfields. If there are mandatory/required flexfields setup on the Order Lines table in Order Management, a value will have to be defaulted as a default value from some other method in order for the import process to complete successfully.

Step 9 - Import the Internal Sales Order

The calculate price flag is frozen and the price cannot be changed. This is based on the values inserted by the Create Internal Orders process from Purchasing. Question: Where is the schedule Ship Date coming from? The scheduled ship date is passed from the requisition Need By Date, it cannot be defaulted any differently. Question: How is the Order Type being chosen? This is coming from the Purchasing Options - Responsibility Purchasing Super User - Setup/Organizations/Purchasing Options. The following queries can be used to confirm that the Internal Sales Order was created. SELECT * FROM OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL WHERE order_source_id = 10 AND orig_sys_document_ref IN (SELECT REQUISITION_HEADER_ID FROM PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALL WHERE segment1 = '&requisition_number'); SELECT * FROM OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL WHERE order_source_id = 10 AND orig_sys_document_ref IN (SELECT REQUISITION_HEADER_ID FROM PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALL WHERE segment1 = '&requisition_number'); Pass the requisition number into the script when prompted.
