Overview on VMI
Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) is a procurement and planning
practice in which a company delegate’s key inventory management
functions to one or more of its suppliers. Under this arrangement the
supplier determines the items, quantities, and delivery schedules on
behalf of the customer based on information it receives from the
customer’s inventory and procurement systems.
Using VMI, manufacturers and distributors can anticipate customer
needs and provide inventory more proactively than is possible using
traditional procurement methods
This Presentation will address how VMI can be accomplished by using
a single, well-integrated suite of applications ( Oracle )

VMI Benefits
Benefit for the supplier:
 The ability to access customer on-hand quantity information, forecast
information, minimum and maximum inventory thresholds, in-transit
inventory quantities and expected receipt dates in order to determine when to
ship goods
 The ability to manually execute an approved purchase requisition or blanket
release on the customer system and to track the status of the order through
receipt, storage, and consumption by the customer
 The ability to automate replenishment proposals
Benefit for the customer:
 The ability to differentiate between goods that must be replenished by a
supplier from those which are internally planned and replenished
 The ability to consume VMI materials in Work-In-Process or to explicitly take
responsibility for planning from the supplier as needed
 The ability to better estimate suppliers production schedules based on
anticipated demand from the customer.

Option 3: VMI for version prior to 11.5.8
For Clients using Oracle applications version prior to 11.5.8 can
implement VMI in one of the following ways by extending your
Oracle e-business suite to support VMI
1. Create a Separate inventory Organization to stock and
track Vendor inventory
2. Use ASN to track Vendor Inventory. As long as the
inventory is managed by Vendor it will be considered
as ASN In-Transit and when you want to consume the
material receive the inventory against ASN into your inventory
3. Load vendor on-hand as vendor Capacity for each item vendor
combination in ASL. Optionally load on-hand as MPS entries as
well with ATP option checked and production option unchecked.
This will enable to promise customer orders against vendor
inventory when ATP is performed in OM
