Moving Allocated Inventory
Understanding the GMI: Move Allocations Profile Option
When Move Immediate or Mass Move Immediate functions are used, lot controlled
inventory that matches criteria entered are moved to a new warehouse and
specified location. Allocations that are pending against this inventory will be
updated to reflect the new inventory location.
In previous versions of OPM, the GMI: Check Allocation Upon Move profile option
warned you of any allocations that could be lost. However, if you chose to ignore
this warning, you could still move inventory, but you would need to re-enter
allocations manually. You also needed to research and manually update these
allocations to reflect the new locations. Failure to heed this warning could also have
resulted in driving inventory negative at the original location, and require you to
track locations manually in order to calculate on-hand quantities.
To eliminate this problem, the GMI: Move Allocations profile option has been
created to be used with the GMI: Move Different Status profile option in order to
control whether or not pending allocations are to be updated for inventory
movement transactions.
When full lot quantities of lots and sublots of an item or items are selected for
movement, both warehouse code and location for all pending allocation
transactions that match the inventory selected for movement will be updated
automatically. To prevent lots that are allocated to sales orders or batches from
changing to an unusable status, GMI: Move Different Status is set to 0 or 2, or the
item is not status controlled. This also allows movements between locations with
the same lot status.
When GMI: Move Allocations is set to 1 and GMI: Move Different Status is set to 0
or 2, processing immediate moves provides the following advantages:
■ You will not need to re-enter allocations manually to follow inventory
movements.
■ There will be no need to research and manually update allocations to reflect
new locations.
■ Allocations will draw from a proper inventory location, and will not create
negative quantities in the original location.
■ You will not need to track original locations with new locations.
■ Only existing pending allocations which draw from the inventory will be
updated.
Move OM Allocations
Order Management (OM) allocations are moved as part of the inventory move
immediate and mass move functions. OM allocations can be moved through the
Move Immediate window while initiating a move immediate and through the
Inventory Quantities-Mass window while initiating a mass move immediate. In
addition, OM allocations can be moved through the Move Immediate API.
OM allocations are moved when the following conditions are satisfied:
■ Profile GMI: Move Allocations is set to yes, which is profile value 1.
■ For move immediate and mass move immediate with a single item, either of the
following conditions must be satisfied:
■ Profile GMI: Move Different Status is set to 0 or 2
■ Item is not status controlled
■ For mass move immediate with multiple items profile GMI: Move Different
Status is set to 0 or 2.
■ For move immediate, both of the following conditions must be satisfied:
■ Move quantity is greater than the unallocated quantity
■ Move quantity is greater than or equal to the total allocated quantity
■ If there are OMSO allocations, then the move must be within the same
warehouse.
■ No pick confirmed OMSO allocations exist.
Note: While calling the Move Immediate API the wrapper should
make an initial call to fnd_global.apps_initialze(user_id, resp_id, app_
id).
