Planner approval for Move Order Requisitions

Setups:
 Move Order Timeout Period
 Move Order Timeout Action
(Define the above two parameters in the Inventory Organization Parameters window.
Inventory > Setup > Organization > Parameters > Inventory Parameters Tab)

 Define Organization Planner. The Planner should be an Employee in the Organization.

(Inventory > Setup > Planners)

 Define an Item and Assign the Item to the Subinventory.

 Assign the Planner to the Item in the General Planning Item Attributes tab. (Inventory >
Items > Organization Items > General Planning tab > Planner)
  Define a Notify List and Assign the Notify List in the Subinventory. When ever a Move
Order is approved the employees defined in the Notify List will be notified through
Oracle Work flow regarding the material moved to or from the subinventory.

Create a Manual Move Order Requisition and approve the Requisition. When we approve the
Move Order Requisition the Status of the Move Order changes to Pending Approval and a
Notification will be sent to the Planner assigned in the Item Attributes window.
When we approve the Notification the Status of the Move Order changes to Approved and is
ready to allocate or transact the Move Order.

After the Move order is Approved Notifications are send to the Employees list present in the
Notify List, saying the Move Order has been approved.
  Before the Notification is approved by the Planner if we cancel one line from the Move
Order and after that the Notification is approved by the Planner then the Move Order
Requisition status will remain as Pending Approval.

 If the Planner Rejects the Move Order Requisition then the Move Order status changes
to Not Approved.
 In a Move Order Requisition if there are two lines of items to which two different
organization planners are assigned then the Notifications will be sent to two Item
planners for Approval.
 If no Planner is specified for the Item in the Inventory Item Attributes then the Move
Order Requisition will be automatically approved without notifying the planner.

One more scenario has to be checked that is, if the planner will not approve the Move Order
until the Move Order Time out Period then what happens? I tried to work on the scenario but
the field Move Order Time Out Period is not responding if less than one day is entered.
I mentioned 0.125 in the field that means say 3 hours, now when I approve the Move order the
status is showing Pending Approval but no notification is sent to the Planner. Don’t know how
to clear this Move Order Requisition. Because if the notification is not sent to the planner he
cannot approve it and if he cannot approve it the status of the move order still remains in
Pending Approval only. So we can only cancel or close the Move order.
I will check this tomorrow as today I have defined all the necessary things.
 Material Shortages

 Check Material Shortages (check box in Inventory attributes in Inventory Attributes

tab-organizational level).
 Specify the shortage parameters. Specify the days over due as '0' by enabling the Jobs
check box for both released and unreleased jobs.

 Create a Discrete Job and make the on hand quantity of the raw material equal to zero.
(I have performed Miscellaneous Issue)
 Receive the Item through Miscellaneous receipt.
 Enable the check boxes on line and Notify check boxes for that particular transaction
type in the Transaction type’s window.
When we receive the item through miscellaneous receipt then we will get the following
message for ONCE.

If we click on ‘No’ button then nothing will be displayed and we can proceed to receive the
quantity and if we click on ‘Yes’ button then the following window opens.

When we click on Supply/Demand Button the following window opens which shows the
details of item supply and demand.
When we click on the details window then the work order details are displayed.

We can proceed to receive the quantity in to the subinventory.
