Transaction Processing Mode
You can set processing control globally for all transactions or you can choose different options for each type of transaction. You establish the method of transaction processing by choosing one of the following options when you set up your TP:INV Transaction Processing Mode profile:

On–line processing Processes transactions while you wait and returns control to you once it finishes.

Background processing Returns control immediately to you. With this option, Oracle Inventory processes transactions
on a periodic basis via the Inventory Transaction Manager.

Immediate concurrent processing Spawns a concurrent process when you commit the transaction and returns control immediately to you, allowing you to continue working.

Form level processing Processes transactions using the processing control option you choose for that particular type of transaction. You must also set the Inventory profile options for Inter–Organization Transfer, Miscellaneous Issue and Receipt,
Receive Customer Return, Return to Customer, and Transfer Between Subinventories. If you are using Oracle Work–in–Process, you must set the WIP profile options Completion Material Processing, Completion Transaction Form, Material Transaction Form, Move Transaction, Operation Backflush Setup, and Shop Floor Processing.

If you choose Form level processing for the Transaction Processing Mode profile you can set up different processing controls for each type of transaction.
On–line Processing If you use On–line processing, you can choose whether transactions are processed on the server or client side by setting the Server Side On–line Processing profile. The default value is server side processing.
Inventory Remote Procedure Manager Server side on–line processing uses the Inventory Remote Procedure Manager to allow a transaction initiated on the client to process on the server. System managers maintain the Remote Procedure Manager.

Launching Transaction Managers
The transaction managers execute the following processes:
material transaction,
move transaction,
resource cost transaction,
material cost transaction,
demand reservation &
remote procedure call.

These run at periodic intervals you specify until you delete them with the concurrent manager. They control the number of transaction workers, processing intervals, and number of transactions processed by each worker during each interval.
