Define new Subinventory

Header
1. Enter a unique alphanumeric name.
2. Indicate the material status of this subinventory, which controls the enabled transactions for all material in this subinventory. The status is not overridden by the status of any locator, lot or serial, within this subinventory. The statuses of those objects will be considered when determining transactions that are not enabled. This field is
used if you have Oracle Warehouse Management installed.
3. Indicate the default cost group for this subinventory. If the cost group assignment rules fail to identify a cost group for newly received material, this cost group will be assigned. This cost group will remain with the material, even through subinventory transfers, until you perform a cost group change transaction. This feature is available if you have Oracle Warehouse Management installed, and you are working with a WMS enabled organization.
4. Select the subinventory type from the drop down list. The available choices are as follows:
Storage: Designates the subinventory as a Storage subinventory.
Receiving: Designates the subinventory as a receiving subinventory, and links it to a receiving location. This subinventory type is used only for receiving material. Material in this type of subinventory cannot be on–hand, or reserved.
Null: No subinventory designation
Parameters
Following are the important parameters that we must define
1.  Quantity tracked Indicate whether each transaction for this subinventory updates the quantity on hand for the subinventory (Quantity Tracked).
If you leave this option unchecked, on–hand balances are not maintained and you cannot check or update the Asset Inventory, Include in ATP, Reservable, or Nettable options. You can update this value only if there is no on–hand quantity, no pending transaction, or no uncosted transaction for the subinventory.
2. Asset Subinventory: Indicate whether to maintain the value of this subinventory on the balance sheet (Asset Subinventory). You can update this value only if there is no on–hand quantity for the subinventory.
3. Include in ATP: Indicate whether to include items in this subinventory in ATP calculations.

6 Nettable:  Indicate whether the planning process uses the on–hand balance of these subinventory items as available inventory (Nettable).
7. LPN Controlled: Indicate if material may be packed into an LPN in the subinventory. If this is unchecked, all LPNs transacted into this subinventory will be automatically unpacked, and LPNs cannot be packed into this subinventory. This feature is available if you have Oracle Warehouse Management installed, and you are working with a WMS enabled organization
