 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Where do I get the datafixes?
Answer: Log a service request if the datafix is not listed.

7.Are there standard datafixes for inventory?

 Yes, there are a number of standard datafixes available for the inventory application. There is also a set of standard identification scripts in Note 330284.1. Suggest you run those for your specific area like serial numbers. We will continue to grow this note listing them. Some are available directly for customers and others require logging a Service Request to get the datafix. We will try to keep this page updated going forward.


** These standard datafixes are available via patches or download:
1. Reservations
2. Move Orders
3. Zero Onhand
4. Inventory Items
5. Duplicate Bill of Materials
6. Inventory

Check FAQ: Inventory Standard Datafixes [ID 568012.1] 
8. Are there SR data fixes ? Why Log SR?

 Yes there are SR data fixes,Oracle Development requires that you log an SR to get the datafix even though it is a standard fix. This is because Oracle wants to ensure that the root-cause patches are suggested to each customer to avoid the issue in the future. Also, if you already have the root-cause patches, Oracle wants to capture information that might help identify the new root-cause situations so that too can be fixed. Oracle does not want customers constantly running datafixes as this is not going to promote satisfaction with the product. Instead, Oracle wants to fix the cause of the data corruption. This is why the note requests you to log an SR to get the datafix.


** All the datafixes below require service requests:

1. MMT MOQ Mismatch
2. Closed Move Orders
3. Missing Move Orders
4. Marked Serial Numbers
5. Serial number with leading/trailing spaces
6. Lot number with leading/trailing spaces

15. The Update Standard Costs program is failing with the following error:Invalid value for intransit_owning_org_id in table MTL_SUPPLY
16. Stuck transaction with 'Error occurred while relieving reservations' due to incorrect or negative availability
17. Duplicate transactions in MTI already posted in MMTT and MMT and in MMTT already posted into MMT
18. View material transactions screen raise error APP-FND-00756:CANNOT FIND COMBINATION CCID=40225 CODE=MKTS

Difference Between MTS, ATO, MTO ,PTO ,CTO and ETO.

 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 finishing process are pla
