You set up an item organization and an inventory organization as part of your customer's requirement. Your customer has, by mistake, performed a receipt transaction in the item organization instead…

Question

Options

• APerform a correct receipt transaction and receive the item in the correct organization.
• BPerform a return of item and receive the item again in the correct organization.
• CIt is not possible to receive item in the item organization.
• DPerform a new receipt in the correct organization and retain the stock in item organization

• A
  6% (2)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  91% (30)

Explanation

Option C is correct because in Oracle Inventory, an item organization is strictly a master data construct used only to define and manage item attributes - it does not support inventory transactions of any kind, including receipts. Since the system itself prevents a receipt from being processed in an item organization, the "error" described in the question could never have occurred.

Why the distractors fail:

• A & B assume a receipt transaction actually happened in the item org, but since the system architecture prohibits this, there is no erroneous receipt to correct or return.
• D compounds the error by suggesting stock can be "retained" in an item organization - item orgs hold no stock, only item definitions.

Memory tip: Think of the two org types by what they hold - an Item org holds item records (master data), while an Inventory org holds inventory (physical stock and transactions). If you try to "receive" into a definition, the system simply won't allow it.
