To move items between locators within the same inventory organization, a formal and controlled process involves two distinct transaction types. First, a Move Request (B) is created. This is a formal document that requests and authorizes the movement of material from a source location to a destination location.

Once the move request is approved or ready for execution, it is transacted. This action generates a Subinventory Transfer (C), which is the actual inventory transaction that decrements the stock from the source locator and increments it in the destination locator, completing the movement. The Subinventory Transfer transaction is the standard mechanism for all internal material movements, whether between different subinventories or between locators within the same subinventory.

A. Miscellaneous Receipt: This transaction is used to bring items into inventory from an un-tracked source (e.g., initial stock load), not for moving existing items internally.

D. WIP Component Issue: This is a manufacturing-specific transaction used to issue materials from inventory to a production work order, not for general inventory movements between locators.

E. Locator Transfer: This is a descriptive term for the action, but it is not an official, distinct transaction type in Oracle Inventory Management Cloud. The correct transaction type is "Subinventory Transfer."

Chapter 5: Manage Inventory Transactions.

Section: Move Requests: Explained: "A move request is a request for a subinventory transfer or an account issue... You can use a move request to request the movement of material within an inventory organization..." This establishes the role of the Move Request (B) in initiating a transfer.

Section: Subinventory Transfers: Explained: "You can transfer material between subinventories or between two locators within the same subinventory... You can also create subinventory transfers by creating and processing a move request." This confirms that a Subinventory Transfer (C) is the resulting transaction and that it covers locator-to-locator moves.

Section: How You Manually Transact Move Request Lines: This section details the process where a user selects a move request line and transacts it

which in turn creates the underlying inventory transaction (the subinventory transfer). This demonstrates the two-step process involving both transaction types.
