Item Defining Attribute/Status Attribute in Oracle Inventory

Item Defining Attributes

An item defining attribute identifies the nature of an item. What designates an item as an "engineering item" is the attribute Engineering Item, but what controls the functionality of the item are the collection of attributes that describe it. You can buy an engineering item if you want to; simply set Engineering Item, Purchased, and Purchasable to Yes.
The item defining attributes are:

Functional Area                      Item Defining Attribute                         

Oracle Inventory                 Inventory Item
Oracle Purchasing               Purchased, or Internal Ordered Item
Oracle MRP&SCP             MRP Planning Method
Oracle Cost Management    Costing Enabled
Oracle Engineering               Engineering Item
Oracle Order Entry              Customer Ordered Item
Oracle Service                     Support Service, or Serviceable Product

When you set an item defining attribute to Yes, the item is automatically assigned to the default category set of the corresponding functional area. For example, if you set Inventory Item to Yes, the item is automatically assigned to the default category set for the Inventory functional area.

ITEM STATUS ATTRIBUTE:
Status attributes enable and disable the functionality of an item over time. Each status attribute allows you to enable the item for a particular use. For example, if you set the status attribute Purchasable to Yes, you can put the item on a purchase order.

The status attributes are related to the item defining attributes. You cannot enable a status attribute if you do not set the corresponding item defining attribute to Yes.


A status code controls certain item attributes designated as status attributes. The status attributes are:

BOM Allowed
Build in WIP
Customer Orders Enabled
Internal Orders Enabled
Invoice Enabled
Transactable
Purchasable
Stockable
Process Execution Enabled
Recipe Enabled

 Make-to-stock (MTS) In MTS environments, products are created before receipt of a customer order. Customer orders are then filled from existing stock, and then those stocks are replenished through production orders. MTS environments have the advantage of decoupling manufacturing processes from customer orders. Theoretically, this enables customer orders to be filled immediately from readily available stock. It also allows the manufacturer to organize production in ways that minimize costly changeovers and other disruptions. However, there are risks associated with placing finished goods into inventory without having a firm customer order or an established need. These risks tend to limit MTS environments to simple, low-variety, or commodity products whose demand can be forecasted readily.  Assemble-to-order (ATO) In ATO environments, products are assembled from components after the receipt of a customer order. The key components in the assembly or f...

Scheduling ,Reservations and ATP in Oracle Order management

Before we start understanding scheduling we need to know certain terms and how they are derived in Oracle. Terminology Understanding the following terms will help you understand how scheduling works in OM. Actual Arrival Date - The date the order line arrives at the customer site. Actual Ship Date - The date the order line is shipped. This date is recorded by the ship confirm action. Arrival Set - A set of order lines which arrive at the same time at the destination. Available to Promise (ATP) - The quantity of current on-hand stock, outstanding receipts and planned production not already committed to sales orders or other sources of demand. ATP Date - The date that a requested quantity will be available to promise. Delivery Lead Time - Time (in days) for items to reach the customer once they are shipped. There are two ways to help system calculate this date. 1) Create a location for the Ship-to address and assign it as the internal location and then define...
