The Internal Requisition-Internal Order process is an important feature for sourcing operations. Oracle provided facility of returning an IR from originally receiving organization in 12.2.11 release.

Businesses may choose to return internally sourced materials via the IR/ISO process to a different inventory organization than the original shipper for various operational and strategic reasons:

  •  This could be driven by the need to send materials to a centralized return hub or a specialized facility for inspection, repair, or disposal, rather than the source location.
  •  Logistical efficiencies, such as proximity to reduce transportation costs, or capacity constraints at the original organization, might also necessitate a different return destination.
  •  Financial or regulatory factors, like tax benefits or intercompany pricing rules, can influence routing returns to a specific organization.
  •  Additionally, shifts in demand or project cancellations may redirect materials to another organization with a higher priority need.

Overall, returning to a different inventory organization helps optimize resources, comply with policies, and adapt to changing business requirements.

All these business needs are addressed through an enhancement in existing IR/ISO return process. This 12.2.14 release enhancement feature will now enable users to return an ISO Shipment to any eligible organization that belongs to the same operating unit of originally shipped ISO organization. This feature will be an extension to both 12.2.12 and 12.2.11 release features of IR-ISO Return with or without in-transit support respectively.

The Receiving Returns Transaction form now allows users to select a different organization from a list of values (LOV) in the Supplier field before generating the Return Order, overriding the defaulted original ISO organization if needed.
