For a test I was asked to look into the following scenario which I tested on Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 instance running the Vision demo environment. A company has multiple organizations defined in Oracle (for this example we use the Netherlands and Germany). In The Netherlands there are several regional warehouses defined in Oracle and in Germany (which is a separate organization in the instance) also a warehouse is defined. Only one warehouse is purchasing the item from a supplier.
Some warehouses are sourcing the goods from the warehouse which is sourcing from the supplier and others are sourcing again from them or from a sub-inventory in Germany. In this example we have only setup a single item to be handled like this. to setup the sourcing of a item per subinventory in Oracle E-Business suite your first query the item of the specified organization in the Item Master under the Oracle Inventory responsibility. When you have queried the item you go to "Tools" and "Item Subinventories".

However, the main interest of this test was setting the sourcing rules, as can seen in the below screenshot their is setup a way of distributing the item and making some subinventories source it from a other inventory or subinventory or a supplier site.

When you setup this in a correct way you can organize a entire sourcing model per item which can be very beneficial for your organization. However, if you want to do this correct and benefit from it you will have to plan it very carefully.

and how to implement in company if company have item data for ingredients, Finish Good and have different IO.
thank you
