Non WMS to WMS Organization Changes in Oracle

In My Last Project ,I Had an Opportunity to Implement WMS for the Inventory Organization which are already defined as a Non-WMS Organization

First of all ,In case of WMS Enabled Organization ,The Sub-Inventory has to be Locator controlled .
So the first goal is to enable all the sub-inventory as Locator controlled ,If you want to enable the sub inventory as Locator controlled ,The Organization Parameter "Locator Control" Should be Moved from NONE to Other Values like ,Determined at Sub Inventory level,Pre-Specified Only  etc .

Follow the Steps Outlined below

• Change the Organization parameter Locator Control from 'None' to Other Value lets say 'Determined at Sub inventory Level

When you try to change it ,You will get the following message

• This means ,You cannot change this parameter with staged sales order transactions and transactions which are ship confirmed and not not inventory interfaced ,In a real live environment ,You will not be able to say that i cannot have staged transactions ,So what we did is ,back order the staged transactions and re-stage this.
• Once ,You are done with clearing the staged transactions and shipped transactions and not inventory interfaced ,Try again changing the Locator control parameter from None to Determined at Sub-Inventory level and You will get the following message and proceed clicking on OK and You will be able to successfully change the Org Parameter Locator control from None to Determined at Sub inventory level

• Now ,The task is to move all the sub inventory as Locator controlled ,To move it you will need to change the Sub-inventory parameter Locator control from None to other values ,You will get the following message when you try to move it 

Now, Clearing the pending transaction and uncosted transactions is NOT a big   

deal ,But how should i handle the existing inventory ? .It depends on your business requirement .We followed the following procedure 

 Create a new sub inventory (For example TEMP)  in the same organization and enable locator control for that Sub-inventory(Remember since now you enabled org parameter locator control as 'Determined at Sub-Inventory level ,You can now define new sub-inventories which can be locator controlled)

Each locator in the new sub inventory should represent the sub-inventory   itself ,for example if you have sub inventory like FG/RETURN/HOLD ,You will need to define the same under TEMP sub-inventory

Now move all the inventory from FG/RETURN/HOLD sub-inventory to TEMP and the corresponding locators

Please note since you are moving the inventory on hand ,The onhand could be an allocated onhand ,reserved on hand etc .You will need to see those details and handle it appropriately 

• Once you are done with this step ,You will be able to change the sub inventory locator controlled from None to other values ,Lets say pre-specified 
• Define all the locators for all the sub inventory and enable the org parameter as WMS Enabled
• Please note now all the inventory is in TEMP sub-inventory ,You will also need to move all the inventory from TEMP to corresponding sub-inventory and Locator 
• Incase if you have backordered ,the staged transactions ,Please restage the transactions ,Incase of restaging the transactions ,System will create new deliveries and kep your shipper posted on the new delivery number .(They might have printed the packing slip etc from the old delivery .
