Accounting in Oracle Inventory

1. Accounting in Inventory
Accounts Definition
You choose a default valuation account when you define organization parameters. Under
standard costing, these accounts are defaulted when you define subinventories and can be
overridden. Under average costing, these accounts (except for Expense) are used for
subinventory transactions and cannot be updated. For a detailed discussion of cost elements.
Following are the accounts that are defined in organization parameters and used in inventory.
Account Type Description
Material
This is an asset type account that tracks material cost. Under standard
costing, these accounts are defaulted when you define subinventories and
can be overridden. For average costing, this account holds your inventory
and intransit values. Once you perform transactions, you cannot change this
account.
Material Overhead An asset account that tracks material overhead cost.
Resource
An asset account that tracks resource cost.
Overhead
An asset account that tracks resource and outside processing overheads.
Outside processing An asset account that tracks outside processing cost.
Expense The expense account used when tracking a non-asset item.
