Inventory

The vendor item number is generally the best way you can identify purchase order lines when your vendor does not provide you with your purchase order number on its shipping documents. Therefore, make sure you provide a vendor item number on your purchase order lines when you create your purchase orders.


To minimize the number of accounting entries, you should use the same valuation account for each cost element in the subinventory (material, material overhead, resource, outside processing, and overhead). Oracle Inventory automatically groups valuation accounting entries by account. For example, you can use different accounts for material and material overhead, and use the same accounts for resource, outside processing, and overhead. Any combination of unique cost element accounts is allowed.


You should use only the Alphanumeric [Document] Number Type when you want to use non-numeric values. Because the ordering of values in QuickPick windows can appear random when you use the Alphanumeric number type, consider entering all numeric values with the same number of digits. For example, if you can assume all numeric values contain six digits, you should enter the first value as 000001.
