The following considerations apply to the issue and return of rotating items.

Oracle users can assign multiple serial numbers on a single material issue transaction, while Maximo® Manage users can enter only one issue transaction per rotating item. A material issue or return that is created in the Oracle E-Business Suite contains a quantity that is greater than one and multiple serial numbers. Then, the integration framework creates an inbound issue transaction with a quantity of one for each serial number.

You create an Oracle Miscellaneous Receipt to return an item under serial control to the storeroom. Then, you must assign the item a serial number that is issued out of the storeroom. Otherwise, an error occurs in Maximo Manage since the serial number does not exist as an asset number in Maximo Manage.

Maximo Manage requires a location when a rotating item is issued. You can create a reservation against a rotating item in Maximo Manage without referencing a work order. However, if you create the corresponding issue transaction in the Oracle E-Business Suite, an error occurs when the integration record does not contain a location, since Maximo Manage requires a location. You can write a user exit procedure or use processing rules to assign a default location.

The integration framework transfers material issues from the Oracle E-Business Suite when the following conditions are met:

• The value of the Oracle integration control ISUIN is 1.
• The issue is a material issue or a receipt.
