Move Orders in Oracle provide good functionality for approval based movement of material with in an inventory organization. Move Order Approvals use a workflow (INV: Move Order Approval) for approvals and hence provide flexibility to extend it for approvals.
Move Orders can be created from different sources. These move orders are identified by Move order type at the header level.

Different types of move orders are:
Move Order Requisitions: These are created from the move order form. Based on the setup at the organization and item level, move orders require approval before they can be allocated and transacted. These requisitions can be created to charge an account or move the material from one subinventory to another.
Replenishment Move Orders: These are auto-created with pre approved status. Depending on the planning type you can replenish the quantity in a subinventory for an item. Three types of replenishment plans (in relation to move orders) are available:

  1. Min-max Replenishment Planning
  2. Kanban Replenishment Planning
  3. Replenishing Count planning

Based on these sources, when appropriate programs are run, move orders are automatically created.
Pick Wave Move Order Requisitions: These move orders are specifically for the sales order picking process. When Pick Releasing program is run move orders are created as preapproved and allocated. Pick Confirm process transacts these pick wave move orders.
Move orders contain headers and lines. All types of approved move orders have to be allocated (basically reserved) before they can be transacted. Depending on the item transaction controls (Subinventory, Locator, Revision, Lot or Serial number) move order creation and allocation gets complex.
The process is simple. Create and approve Move orders, allocate move order lines and transact them.
In this article let us review creating, allocating, and transacting a move order requisition of first type (requisitions) using APIs. These move orders will be created in pre approved status and hence do not use workflow. Move Order Issue transaction type is used in this example. An account is chosen while creating this move order. When successfully transacted, this account gets debited, crediting inventory account of the subinventory. From the user interface, to create Move orders, Move Orders window is used.
The lines are allocated when allocation step is performed. In this example the logic for allocation and transaction is borrowed from pick confirmation code. To allocate and transact same form is used: Transact Move Orders.
If the item is lot and serial number controlled (as in this example), you have to pass the lot number and serial number information into the move order lines table parameter. And also make sure to pass another parameter (p_suggess_serial) as true. This will automatically take care of allocating the lot and serial numbers into the appropriate table as mentioned in the process flow. Also when we allocate the move order from the user interface, the records in the form are created in the mtl_material_transactions_temp table with transaction_status as 2, which allows the user to change the values from user interface. But in order to perform transaction from SQL, you have to change this value to 3 so that the transaction manager can pick these records up. You find that logic in the allocating code.
The tables affected in each process step are mentioned in the process flow. Code for each step as well as complete code to create, allocate and transact can be see here:

While debugging a workflow issue, it is a little cumbersome to connect to the database in workflow builder to check the code behind an activity. Below sql prints all the runnable processes and activities in that process along with the pl/sql functions behind each of them in sql*plus for a given item type. Just pass in the internal name of the item type and you have it all.

Here is the code snippet for creating items using API (traditionally we are used to use item open interface) in the Product Life Cycle Management process. While this does not replace loading items using open interface, this API can be used to manage the lifecycle of the item on a dialy basis.

Over a period time, companies conceptualize products, design them, build them, manage them and finally, retire them.

Here in the article I am introducing the API first. In the subsequent articles, we will manage the “lifecycle” of the product using the same API.

These code snippets are tested in 12.0.4.

Use Of Oe_Order_Pub.Process_Order To Create Sale Order
    Process Order API is a PL/SQL packaged procedure which can be used to manipulate the sales order data by performing Insert, update or delete operation on the following sales Order business object entities.
Analogous to other public API’s, Process Order API also validates the data before inserting them into the application tables.
Though Process Order API has packaged procedures which will insert, update, delete data into the tables, they can not be run on their own. Either they need to be called from another package procedure or can be executed as PL/SQL block via the sql*plus.

Use of PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1.START_WF_PROCESS API to Approve Purchase Orders, Blanket Purchase Agreements & Purchase Requisition …
Some times, we are wondering what exactly Oracle is doing when we are clicking on the Approve button in the Purchase Order/Requisition Form. And How does Approve button call the Purchasing approval workflow.

  • When the Approve button is clicked, the approval modal window form for purchasing approvals iscalled (this is form POXDOAPP.fmb and its attached corresponding library file POXAPAPC.pll.). Both Enter Requisition and Enter Purchase Order forms call the the same approval form.
  • The library file POXAPAPC.pll has a procedure PO_WF_APPROVE_C.SetUpWorkFlow that calls the procedure PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1.Start_WF_Process in package file POXWPA1B.pls.
  • This server side procedure calls the workflow and initiates the workflow and processes the document through the workflow…
