Before going head make sure you have completed the multiorg structure properly with Buisness Group, General Ledger, Operating Unit.
For the below setup,
  • Buisness Group/User : IPHONE

In Profile field enter these features:
  • %GL%Led%NA%
  • %HR%User%, %HR%Sec%, %HR%Bus%
  • %MO%Oper%Unit%,  %MO%Defaul %, %MO%Sec%

So that the final output will appear as below.





STEP 3: Defining Locations, Workday Calender

  • Now we are done with creating location for inventories & Workday Calender, lets attach both while creating Inventory Organizations.

STEP 4: Creating Master Org, Inventory Org
  • Before creating Inventory org its mandatory to create a master org.
Invoking: Inventory→Setup→Organization→Organization
  • Lets create a Master Org with the name IPHONE MASTER ORG
  • Add the funtion Inventory Organization under name and check the Enabled option as below.

  • Operating Unit : no need for Master Org

  • After updating click on others again, select Inventory Information as below.



  • Inventory information is very important and we have to fill carefully all the mandatory fields as below.
  • Organization code 5MO (Our Choice) is just an unique code given by us.
  • Calender: we are pasting the workday calender (IPN WC) which we created before.
  • Item Master Organization acts as a server or Admin or Master for all inventories under specific Operating unit.
  • Here We have updated IPHONE MASTER ORG as Item Master Org as below.

  • In Costing Information below we have updated IPHONE MASTER ORG that we created and the account 09 that we set before for legal entity.


  • For all other tabs follow the below screenshots correspondingly.


  • After filling all the mandatory fields save the dialog box, which completes Master Org.


             Now Create a new Inventory as below.
Invoking: Inventory→Setup→Organization→Organization
  • Select the location we have created before for the inventory and we have Named Inventory as : IPHONE INVENTORY

  • Click on others:

  • Here mention the operating unit for the inventory we have created.

Hence we have completed creating

  • IPHONE Inventory 1
  • SECOND IPHONE Inventory

STEP: 5 Creating Sub Inventories & Locators
  • Lets create Subinventory for respective Inventories.
  • Select Change Organization from inventory responsibility
It will list all the inventories created, let’s select IPHONE Inventory, so that we can create sub inventory, stock locators in this inventory.
Invoking:  Setup→Organization→Sub inventories.
Select new, create a Sub inventory of our choice.
  • Here we are creating sub inventory as IMAC
  • Make sure in Main tab, Quantity tracked & Asset Sub Inventory checked as below.
  • In Account Tab select Account (09) depending upon charted accounts.
 
  • Save the above screen and select on locators
  • Select the locators and fill the fields as ROW Q, RACK 4, BIN B as below of your choice.
  • Save and close the form which completes the sub inventory and stock locators basic.
  • Similarly we can create “n” number of sub inventories respectively.
Below is the flowchart of the setup we created for better understanding.
  • Now after completing all the above, switch the responsibility to system administrator.
  • Click on View→Request→Submit a New Request-Single Request→OK
  • Run :Replicate seed data as below.

Check the status View→Request


  • Which completes all essential setups for the Inventory Organization.
  • Incase you have not created any Operating Unit or General Ledger, as an optional step, you can query the organization ‘Vision Operations’ and check that it is classified as both a Legal Entity and Operating Unit as well as an Inventory Organization. If you check the Inventory Organization Parameters for ‘Vision Operations’ you will notice that the organization code is defined as ‘V1′. The master org is itself.
Conclusion:
  • You must plan how Oracle Inventory represents your company's inventory sites and business units. This includes defining organizations, locations, subinventories, and locators.
  • This completes Inventory Org Basic Setup In Oracle EBS R12.

Unbilled Receivables and Unearned Revenue Accounting in Oracle Projects

Unbilled Receivables and Unearned Revenue Accounting in Oracle Projects Introduction When it comes to contractual billing, invoice and revenue generation are two separate processes, which during the lifespan of a project may or may not always coincide with each other and so do the balances in revenue and receivables accounts.  This interim difference between revenue and invoice account balances is bridged using Unbilled Receivables (UBR) and Unearned Revenue (UER) Accounts. Unearned Revenue (UER) Unearned Revenue (also termed as deferred revenue or UER) signifies money received for the goods or services, which are yet to be delivered.  As per the principles of Revenue Recognition, UER is recorded as on the balance sheet unless it is converted to Revenue upon delivery of goods or services For Example XYZ Consulting Ltd. receives an annual maintenance contract of $ 12,000 on Dec 31, 2014 for the period of Jan 01, 2015 to Dec 31, 2015. At the start of the contract as of Dec 31, 2...
