Define Inventory Organization

Inventory Organization – Inventory organizations are physical or logical entity in the organization hierarchy which tracks the inventory transactions and transaction accounting. These is the place you manages your inventory and perform planning on it. A typical example is a plant or a distribution location.

Let quickly remind our self the structure of the our structure.

Now we have to create multiple Inventory organizations (2 in each operating unit). But there is no restriction, you can create n number of inventory organization. We also have to create a Master Inventory organization before creating a transactional inventory organization.

Master Inventory Organization : The Master Inventory organization also called as ‘Item Master’ organization is and organization used to item repository, maintenance and validation that stores items and item attributes, master level category and category sets. We always create items in Master Inventory organization and then assign to child organization. This is logical organization and not used for any transactions. Its recommended that only one Master Inventory organization should be defined even we have multiple operating units and ledgers are implemented.

Inventory Organization / Child Inventory Organization : This is also inventory organization but refers to an Master Inventory organization for items. These are transactional inventory organization and can be a physical location under an implementation. They have sub inventories and locators to further organize the items.

Lets move and start creating Inventory Organization. First we will create Master Inventory Organization and then create Child Inventory organization.
Before we create the inventory organization we have to create the location and inventory calendar.
