"consumption advise" is the name of a concurrent program that generates Purchase Orders or Purchase Order Releases so that a supplier can bill for used material. Th

Here is the sample output: Sample Output .

Transfer to Consigned:

: How does one perform 'Transfer to Consigned' when consumption transaction was generated implicitly?

short answer is that "Transfer to Consigned" is not available at this time for implicit "Transfer to Regular" transactions. From a business point of view, this means th
dor, you cannot simply transfer it back via a "Transfer to Consigned". You might expect 'Transfer to Consigned' to work for implicit consumption transactions. When
sactions available. Due to this issue, unable to handle/process returns for over receipts of consigned inventory.

t you might have expected to work follow:

avigation: Inventory > Transactions > Consigned Transactions
nter type as Transfer to Consigned
lick transaction lines button.
ry to use the LOV for "Owning Party" or "Consumption Transactions"
o list of values are returned.
Transferring back to "Consigned" is not supported for implicit transfers to regular.

m Note 258630.1:
he change of ownership from the Supplier has taken place via 'Implicit Consumption' viz. Move
er Transaction, or Back flush etc, then this problem will happen.

r Implicit Consumption the Transaction Type 'Transfer to Consigned' will not work.
is because the link for the originating Transaction for consigned Receipt is lost when
mplicit Consumption is done. Only when you do a 'Transfer to regular' transaction (Explicit Consumption) to change
ownership from Supplier you will be able to return this to the supplier using 'Transfer to
 signed'

a workaround, when you need to move the Items back to the supplier
ase of a Implicit consumption, you can use the following limited option.
can do a Misc issue of the Item from the subinventory. Using Folder / Show field
ose the Owning Party as the Supplier, and in the Account choose 'AP Accrual Account'
n Subsequently you can use a Misc receipt to with Owning Party again
he supplier to increase the Consigned Inventory Stock.

is Workaround does not apply if there exists a Purchasing Price Variance.

ppose in a standard Costing Organization you receive the Items to Consigned Stock at 12$
the Standard Cost of the Item is 10$, then the implicit consumption will result in a 2$ PPV.
wever, when you do a misc Issue it will be done at 10$ - standard cost. This will result in an
alance of 2$).

m Note 364738.1
he "Transfer to Consigned" does not work because of the following:
ransfer to consigned transaction is currently supported only for 'Transfer to regular'
sactions entered manually using Consigned Transactions window.
nly 'Transfer to regular' entered manually are called Explicit consumptions all other created

sumptions.
case of Miscellaneous issue, the ownership transfer is created by the system and is still

: Transfer to Consigned Enhancement

se monitor for Enhancement Request (ER) Bug 5156251 that focuses on the suggestion requesting that implicit transfers also allow "Transfer to Consigned".

: When is Transfer to Consigned Available?

r Patch 4890407 with the transaction form INVTTMTX 115.239.115100.22 or higher, the list of available consignment transactions is limited to those transactions th
PLICIT. Before this patch, the 'TRANSACTION_BATCH_SEQ' in MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS was used to differentiate between IMPLICIT and EXPLIC
ing issues in "Return to Vendor" Transactions for mobile transactions. The query for the List of Values is something like the following:

ECT mmt.*
M MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS mmt , MTL_CONSUMPTION_TXN_TEMP mctt
RE mmt.transaction_id=mctt.transaction_id
mmt.transaction_type_id=74
mmt.source_code = 'EXPLICIT'

: SQL to review Transfer to Regular Used for Transfer to Consigned?

can track what transaction was responsible for a transfer to consigned using the parent id. To perform a transfer to consigned, one must have at transfer to regular. U
ed transfer to regular transaction is recorded in the new transaction's parent transaction id column. The following SQL returns the transfer to regular transaction respo
mpts for the transaction id of the transfer to consigned as &EnterTransactionID.

ect * from mtl_material_transactions mmt

re mmt.transaction_id IN (
ect mct.parent_transaction_id

Can one view the owner party in the subinventory transfer form?

see more details in Note 344337.1 Issue With Inventory Movement From Consigned Subinventory.
e is a snippet:

rent behavior is that for subinventory transfers there is no owning party access on the form.
ther words the system does not distinguish between consigned and non-consigned stock when
 orming a subinventory transfer. the system does consumption on the basis of FIFO.

question was addressed in Bug 4246717 and Bug 4128396 - TRANSFER TO REGULAR NOT DECREMENTED CORRECTLY.

gested workaround:
he subinventory where both consigned and non-consigned stock will be maintained, create 2
tors: one that will be designated for consigned quantities only, and one that will be
gnated for non-consigned quantities only. Thereafter when receiving or transferring stock out
hat subinventory, be sure to specify the correct locator to pull from, based on whether
signed or non-consigned stock is to be transacted. When consuming consigned stock, use the
nsfer to Regular' option, specifying the non-consigned locator into which the consumed stock
be put.

ow transfer the 20 back thru 'Transfer to Consigned.'
his reset the receipt date on the consigned inventory to the NEWEST.
ow you can perform a subinventory transfer of the 19. The FIFO rules will ensure that the regular stock is now used.
How does one manage consigned inventory with locators?

example, do we transfer the inventory to company owned when we need to use it?

point about using a separate locator is so that your users will know when they are going to
signed inventory or when they are using inhouse inventory. Depending on how you are using the
ication and what types of transactions, you should not have to manually transfer from
signed. You should just simply use the inventory in the consigned locator.

should be able to use the inventory from the locator via normal processing. The application
uld determine where to get the inventory. For miscellaneous issues from the consigned locator,
ransfer to regular will occur and the inventory will be issued. The same can be setup for
nventory transfer from the consigned locator. For the transfer to regular to be automated,
would use the "Consignment Setup" screen. This is in Setup > Transactions > Consigned/VMI
sumption.

some test cases listed above outlining how the transfer to regular and the use of consigned
ntory can be automated.

Consigned Setup

: What are the setup steps required for using Consigned Inventory?

Section B of the "Consigned Inventory User's Guide". This walks through the following steps:
1 Set Up Organizations
2 Set Up Oracle Inventory Items
3 Set Up Oracle Approved Supplier List and Supplier Sites
4 Set Up Profile Options
 5 Numbering Options
6 Set Up Oracle Purchasing Blanket Purchase Agreement
7 Define Consumption Rules (optional)
8 Set Up Pay Options in Oracle Payables
9 Set Up Oracle Workflows

the demonstrations above in FAQ point #1.

o see Note 405518.1.

: What Setup Required for Consigned Orders in Purchasing?

Note 428100.1.

: What setup should Suppliers perform for consigned inventory?

consignment functionality provides warehouses purchasing consigned inventory with features to track and even allow suppliers to review inventory usage. But what
lications? Will they have features within Consignment? A supplier using the Oracle Applications internally will need to ship inventory but not bill the customer unti
ntory was consumed.

11i you have to modify the Order Management workflow to handle this custom billing process. This is the basic approach to take in R11i:
Use the shipping feature of trip stop planning. In case of FOB point being customer destination then
orm the ship confirm but do not close the trip and defer the inventory interface.
way the inventory is still held in the Inv org. Once the goods are received, update the "Trip" and allow inventory interface (COGS) and AR invoicing.
Map COGS account to Intransit account. Control the Invoicing process by workflow wait activity before fulfillment if its fixed days based. Use an extension to system

Alternatively use invoice hold in the above case.
onsider using the defererred revenue accounting with sl no-2.
 12 we have a new feature called Deferred Revenue Recognition which handles the scenario. It also takes into consideration when the COGS account is updated.

How do I specify the owning party on the Miscellaneous Transaction form?

pecify the owning party on the miscellaneous transaction form, one must use the folder tools and add the column "OWNING PARTY". This column IS NOT availabl
available in Account Alias transactions. After adding the column, one can enter the specific owning party for the inventory being used. For example, you might want
cellaneous issue. To do this, you would take the following steps:

igate to Inventory > Transactions > Miscellaneous Transactions

s the Transaction Lines button
er the item
cursor moves to the next field, Subinventory.
ose Folder > Show Field from the top Menu

nter-Org Transfer Loses Owning Party / Transfer to Regular

Inter-Org Transfer results in the onhand quantity no longer belonging to the consigned party. Effectively, the inter-org transfer loses the Owning Party and takes the d

Can price breaks be used for Consigned Stock?

, price breaks are used for giving discounts based on the quantity.

Does retroactive pricing update Standard POs used for receiving consigned stock?

standard POs for receiving consigned stock have no refernce to the blanket. So, retroactive pricing does NOT have any impact on these standard POs.
