Inventory Management in OTM

[divya_tewari]

Hi All,

Has anyone worked on Inventory Management in OTM? If any one has explored this module please throw some light on the functionality of inventory management in OTM. In which version of OTM is the inventory management functionality incorporated? Any pointers on the same would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Divya

Re: Inventory Management in OTM

The module is called Logistics Inventory Visibility (Oracle Transportation Management: Logistics Inventory Visibility)

In short, the module provides Static Inventory Visibility, including

1. SKU definition for products
2. API for receipt of warehouse transactions
3. Visibility to SKU transactions
4. Event management for SKUs
5. Orders and Shipments in-transit visibility

In one of my implementation (5.5 CU3/CU4), the customer eventually dropped the module because some of functions did not work properly.

• 6319710 - INDIVIDUAL COUNTS DOES NOT SHOW ANY NUMBERS
• 6349234 - TOTAL COUNTS GOES TO REPORT ERROR
• 6319691 - CAN NOT FIND SKU_QUANTITY FINDER SET FROM SKU VIEW SCREEN
• 6606732 - NOT ABLE TO CREATE A SKU EVENT

Not sure there is any improvement since then.

Hi,

We have a query on this post:

I believe SKU transactions are created based on shipment or order creation in OTM. Is it possible to track the inventory which do not have any order or shipment attached. In Oracle's brochure, they have mentioned that OTM can handle static inventory as well. So as a part of static inventory, non-transaction(Read it as Order release or shipment) related items will come as well like in Oracle Inventory, we have the options of Miscellaneous receipt. Please let me know based on your experience - if any client has implemented static inventory visibility?

Figured out that SKU transaction should be the key to receiving the WMS inventory to OTM. However, there is no direct relation between SKU transaction and SKU quantity update in OTM. Can someone help/point out how we can increase the SKU quantity after SKU transaction is received. There is no event based on SKU transaction. Events available in OTM are based on SKU.

Also, I was looking at SKU Inbound GIT event. Please update if anyone has used this event to increase SKU quantity?
