Subinventory Transfer

User can transfer material within his current organization between subinventories, or between two locators within the same subinventory. You can transfer from asset to expense subinventories, as well as from tracked to non–tracked subinventories. If an item has a restricted list of subinventories, you can only transfer material from and to subinventories in that list. Oracle Inventory allows you to use user–defined transaction types when performing a subinventory transfer.

To do a subinventory transfer from expense to asset subinventory set the profile option INV: Allow Expense to Asset Transfer  to "Yes."  If it has not been set it to "Yes," it is possible to issue from an asset to an expense subinventory, but issue from an expense to asset subinventory is not possible.  

Oracle Inventory expects the consumption of material at the expense location.  If you return an asset item to an expense subinventory, you must be first issue it from the expense subinventory using the Miscellaneous Transaction form and transfer it to the subinventory expense account.  Then, no accounting occurs and you only transfer quantities.  To receive the asset item back to the asset subinventory, perform the Miscellaneous Transaction account receipt using the same expense account as the expense subinventory.

For receiving an ASSET item back, you use the Miscellaneous Transaction instead of the subinventory transfer.
