Oracle Inventory module interacts with Oracle costing for
-
a. Identifying part numbers
-
b. Cost information to transaction rates
-
c. Identifying item components
-
d. Forecasting anticipated demand for the item
Oracle Inventory module provides cost information to Oracle Costing for calculating transaction rates. When inventory transactions occur (receipts, issues, transfers), the cost data flows from Inventory to Costing to maintain accurate cost accounting. Identifying part numbers and item components are setup functions, while demand forecasting is a planning function - not the costing integration point.
Oracle Inventory hands off transaction data — quantities, transaction types, and dates — to Oracle Costing, which then applies cost information to those transaction rates to value inventory movements (receipts, issues, transfers) for accounting purposes. Inventory itself doesn't identify part numbers or forecast demand as part of this specific costing interaction, so those options don't describe the Inventory-Costing relationship.
