Integrating with Oracle Inventory

Oracle Projects fully integrates with Oracle Inventory to allow you to enter inventory transactions in Oracle Inventory and transfer them to Oracle Projects. You can order and receive items into inventory before assigning them to a project. You can then assign the items to a project as they are taken out of or received into Oracle Inventory.

When you enter project-related transactions in Oracle Inventory, you enter the project information on the source transaction. Oracle Inventory and Oracle Projects carry the project information through from the Issue To or Receipt From transaction in Oracle Inventory to the project expenditure in Oracle Projects.

For more detailed information about project-related transactions in Oracle Inventory, see the Oracle Inventory User's Guide.

Suggestion: If you integrate with Oracle Inventory, use function security to prevent users from entering pre-approved batch items with an expenditure type class of Inventory or Work in Process.

Figure 1 - 48 illustrates the flow of project-related inventory transactions in a non-manufacturing environment.

The transactions are imported into to Oracle Projects as accounted and costed. The cost distribution cannot be modified in Oracle Projects.

For information about transferring transactions from Oracle Inventory to Oracle General Ledger, please refer to the Oracle Inventory User's Guide.
