ORACLE E-BUSINESS SUITE R12.1 INVENTORY ESSENTIALS
IMPLEMENTATION BOOT CAMP
The Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1 Inventory Essentials Implementation Boot Camp offers a comprehensive coverage of
inventory management part of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) application family, including the new
enhancements that have just been released in R12.1 with substantial functionality improvements.
What will we cover:
This course 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 practices in this course
provide hands-on experience 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. These practices also
help you understand how to use mobile devices to perform transactions such as cycle counting and inventory
replenishment.
Learn To:

Setup organizations that correspond to your business units in Oracle Applications

Define inventory items for Oracle Supply Chain Applications

Perform inventory replenishment

Perform ABC classification and cycle count

Perform inventory transactions
