The process for Internal Orders is as follows     An Employee enters a Requisition for an Item     The Requisition is sent for approval     The Purchasing System issues an Internal Sales Order to OM     Order management imports Internal Sales Order through Order Import Process     OM creates a Pick release when the item is available in the warehouse     If the requisitioner is at another location. OM handles packing and shipping to that site     The Item is delivered     OM handles the accounting for the release from the Inventory and Purchasing handles the accounting for the issue to the requisitioner. OR These are controllers of background processing for Oracle Applications.Oracle Apps Interview Questions Written by Sudhakar Mani Monday.
