What is the workflow name to create purchase order automatically?
Workflow is integrated with Oracle Purchasing and it is possible to automatically create standard purchase order or
blanket releases off of approved Req lines. The workflow is called PO Create documents. Workflow builder can
be used to alter PO Create Documents as per business requirements.
PO Create Documents is made up of several processes which are group of functions. Each function/process can be modified.
For Each approved req lines, PO Create Documents workflow is triggered or called. This creates a new document and PO
Approval Workflow is also called to approve this document.

The workflow begins automatic document creation if you’ve kept the item
attribute Is Automatic Creation Allowed? set to Y for Yes, if source documents are
associated with the requisition lines, and you have properly set up sourcing rules.

The document type created by PO Create Documents workflow depends on source document associated with requisition lines.

If the source document for req line is a quotation then a standard PO is created.
If the source document is a blanket purchase agreement, a release is created.

Here are the steps

1- Define Physical Inventory:
Inventory > counting > Physical Inventory > Physical Inventories > New

MTL_PHYSICAL_INVENTORIES.APPROVAL_REQUIRED is set to 1
This means you cannot run Adjustments program until all the adjustments are approved.

Use the above form and click on snapshot button or Tools > Perform Snapshot.
Once Snapshot Process (INCAPF) completes, the snapshot complex box is check, the snapshot date is updated and the Tags button is enabled
in the define physical inventory window.

Next Question: Describe INCAPF Process.
3- Generate Tags:

8- Approve Counts

9- Run Adjustments

10- Purge Physical inventory
