Question of the Day!!  

                

Module: Oracle Inventory

No.:  Describe Inter-organization Shipping Network ?

Ans:

An inter-organization shipping network describes the relationships and accounting information between a shipping organization and a destination organization. You must define a shipping network between two organizations before you can transfer material between organizations. When you set up a shipping network you must select a transfer type: intransit or direct.

Use the Inter-Organization Shipping Network window to define accounting information and the relationships that exist between shipping and destination organizations. You can specify whether an organization is a shipping organization, a destination organization, or both.

   Intransit:

   Oracle Inventory moves material to an intermediary state before it reaches the destination organization. After the material arrives at the destination organization, you will need a receipt transaction to retrieve it. If intransit is selected, you can define:

•          Shipping Methods
•          GL Accounts to use in transit
•          Material ownership during transfer
•          Planning lead times
•          Transfer Charges

  Direct: 

  Oracle Inventory moves the material directly to the destination organization. However, for both transfer types, you can determine default receipt routing and whether internal orders are required to transfer material.
