1. A transaction source type is the type of entity against which Oracle Inventory charges a transaction. Along with a transaction action, it uniquely identifies the type of transaction you perform. Oracle Inventory provides the following predefined transaction source types:
• Account
• Account Alias
• Cycle Count
• Internal Order
• Internal Requisition
• Inventory
• Job or Schedule
• Move Order
• Periodic Cost Update
• Physical Inventory
• Purchase Order
• RMA (Return Material Authorization)
• Sales Order
• Standard Cost Update

 

2. You can define additional transaction source types in the Transaction Source Types window. You can then use these user–defined transaction source types and predefined transaction actions to define a new transaction type. This user–defined transaction type is now a customized form of tracking transactions with which you can group
and sort reports and inquiries.

 

3.When you perform a transaction, you specify a transaction type and a source. For example, for a PO receipt
transaction, the transaction source type is Purchase Order and the actual PO number is the source.
