Full set: 245 questions

Answer options

A: You can change the UOM easily in the organization items.

B: You cannot correct the primary UOM for the item after transactions. Correct answer

C: You can easily correct the primary UOM by changing the value in the item master.

D: You can delete items using delete group and create the item again using the correct primary UOM.

Correct Answer:

B. You cannot correct the primary UOM for the item after transactions.

Explanation

In Oracle Purchasing and Inventory, once an item is defined and transactions (such as material movements, purchase orders, or inventory balances) have been processed against it, the primary Unit of Measure (UOM) attribute becomes permanently locked. Oracle Inventory enforces data integrity across historical transaction tables and subledger records by preventing modifications to the primary UOM once any transactional history exists for the item.

Why Incorrect

A: Primary UOM cannot be changed at the organization level once transactions exist for the item. C: Modifying the primary UOM in the Master Item window is blocked by Oracle Inventory after transaction creation. D: Items with existing transaction history or active dependencies cannot be deleted using delete groups.
