R12 Oracle Inventory Management Fundamentals

What you will learn

This class focuses on the features, functions, and benefits of Oracle Inventory. Students learn how to define items, enable lot control, enable serial control, enable dual unit of measure control, perform inventory transfers, perform inventory replenishment, perform a cycle, view on-hand quantities, create reservations, and setup material statuses. Students also learn where Oracle Inventory fits in the overall enterprise structure.

This course reflects the logical flow of the processes involved in inventory management. For example, this course covers defining items, receiving items, issuing items, and replenishing items in the same order. The exercises in this course provide hands-on experience on using Oracle Inventory to perform many of the processing and inquiry transactions such as receiving, moving, replenishing inventory items, and generating count tags for physical inventories. The hands-on exercises also help you understand how to use mobile devices to perform transactions such as cycle counting and inventory replenishment.
