Locator Control
1. Stock Locators Flexfield
- Choose the number of segments in the flexfield.
- Indicate the number of characters in each segment of the flexfield.
- Specify whether you want to validate the values that you assign to the segments.
- Freeze and compile your flexfield definition.
- Even if you do not implement locator control, you must still compile the Stock Locators flexfield because transaction and on-hand reports require a frozen flexfield definition.
- Locator control provides locator uniqueness within an organization.
2. Organization-Level Locator Control Options
- None Oracle Inventory never requests locator information while you perform a transaction for this organization.
- Prespecified only Oracle Inventory requires locator information while you perform a transaction for this organization. You must choose a locator from a list of locators that you have prespecified.
- Dynamic entry allowed Oracle Inventory requires locator information while you perform a transaction for this organization. You may either choose from a prespecified list of locators or define a locator dynamically when you enter the transaction.
- Determined at subinventory level You can use the Subinventories window to set locator control for each individual subinventory.
Note: Locator control options that you choose at the organization level override the locator control options that you choose at the subinventory and item levels.
3. Sub Inventory-Level Locator Control Options
- None Oracle Inventory never requests locator information while you perform a transaction for this subinventory.
- Prespecified Oracle Inventory requires locator information while you perform a transaction for this subinventory. You must choose a locator from a list of locators that you have prespecified for this subinventory.
- Dynamic Entry Oracle Inventory requires locator information when you perform a transaction for this subinventory. You may either choose from a predefined list of locators or define a locator dynamically when you enter the transaction.
- Item level This determines whether Oracle Inventory requires locator information when you perform a transaction for this item.
Note: If your organization-level locator control choice is “Locator control determined at subinventory level,” you must choose a locator control option for each subinventory in your organization.
4. Item-Level Locator Control Options
- No control Serial number control not established for this item. All material transactions involving this item bypass serial number information.
- At inventory receipt Create and assign serial numbers when you receive the item. Thereafter, for any material transaction, you must provide a serial number for each unit.
- At sales order issue Create and assign serial numbers when you issue (ship) the item against a sales order. If you select this option, serial numbers are required at ship confirm. If you receive an item on an RMA (return material authorization), you must specify the same serial numbers you created at sales order issue. All other material transactions for this item bypass serial number information.
- Predefined Assign predefined serial numbers when you receive the item. Thereafter, for any material transaction, you must provide a serial number for each unit.
