Move Order Source Types

Move Order Source Types

Oracle Inventory provides three types of move orders:

·         Move Order Requisitions

·         Replenishment Move Orders

·         Pick Wave Move Orders

The move order type refers to the entity that created the move order. For all move orders, the final result is one of the two supported transactions: subinventory or move order issue.

Move Order Requisition

The requisition is a manually generated request for a move order. You can generate requests for subinventory transfers or move order issues. The requisition can optionally go through an Oracle Workflow approval process before it becomes a move order. If no approval process is used, the requisition becomes a move order immediately.

Replenishment Move Order

These move orders are generated automatically. For example, kanban cards can create a replenishment move order where the pull sequence calls for a subinventory transfer
(intra-organization kanbans), or by min-max planned items where the item’s replenishment source (set at the item-subinventory level) is another subinventory. In this case, the min-max or replenishment count report automatically generates a move order. Replenishment move orders are pre-approved and ready to be transacted.

The type of move order generated depends on the replenishment source:

·         If the replenishment source is a supplier, then a move order requisition is created.

·         If the replenishment source is another inventory organization, then an internal requisition is created.

·         If the replenishment source is a subinventory then a replenishment move order is created. Note that the source subinventory must be set up at the item subinventory level. For the min-max report to generate a move order, the report must be generated at the subinventory level.

For kanban to generate a move order, the pull sequence source type must be set to Intra-org.

Pick Wave Move Order

The pick release process generates move orders to bring the material from its source location in stores to a staging location, which you define as a subinventory in Oracle Inventory. This transaction is a subinventory transfer.

These move orders are generated automatically by the Oracle Shipping Execution pick release process.

These orders are pre-approved and ready to transact. Pick slips and other shipping and inventory reports will also be available with Oracle.

WIP Issue Move Orders

An optional process in Oracle WIP allows you to run pick release for the components of a range of jobs or schedules. This process creates move orders to either directly issue the material to WIP, or to move the material to the backflush locator. These orders are automatically approved, the picking rules are sued to allocated material for the job, and pick slips can be printed for warehouse users.
