Oracle enables quality visibility, collaboration, and execution through quality control techniques and closed-loop quality management. When used with Oracle Cloud Quality Management, the system can require operators to perform a quality inspection at key points in the production process.

Sub Inventory: Logical classification of inventory material is done through sub inventories. Sub inventory is like a group to classify different types of material like “Raw Material”, “Finished Goods”, “Staging”, “Stores” etc. We move material across sub inventories in various scenario’s.

If an item’s location is non-nettable, the quantity on the Item Lot Locations form is not included in the on-hand amount on the Items form. Non-nettable stock has the following restrictions: MRP and APS do not use the non-nettable quantity in calculating requirements.

A sub-inventory is a subdivision of an organisation representing either a physical area or a logical grouping of items such as a store-room or receiving dock. Every organisation needs at least one sub-inventory. When an item is defined it is allocated to particular sub-inventories.

Use the Subinventory Transfer window to move material from one subinventory to another. If you specify the same subinventory as the From and To Subinventory, you can move material between locators within a subinventory.

With a miscellaneous transaction you can issue material to or receive material from general ledger accounts in your current organization. This allows you to issue material to groups that are not inventory, receiving, or work in process such as a research and development group or an accounting department.

4. Select the subinventory type from the drop down list.

Nettable: Indicate whether the planning process uses the on-hand balance of these subinventory items as available inventory. Quantity Tracked: Indicate whether each transaction for this subinventory updates the quantity on hand for the subinventory.

To define subinventory header information: 1. Navigate to the Subinventories Summary folder window. 2. Choose New. The Subinventories window appears. 3. Enter a unique alphanumeric name. To define parameters, lead times, and sourcing information: 1. Select the Main alternative region.

Allow Reservation: Indicate whether to include this subinventory when you perform available-to-reserve calculations. Nettable: Indicate whether the planning process uses the on-hand balance of these subinventory items as available inventory.

This includes defining organizations, locations, subinventories, and locators. Before you define inventory structures you should define your ledger and set up required key flexfields. Defining Ledgers, Oracle General Ledger User’s Guide and Setup Steps.
