Oracle SCM Accounting Reference Quickie Discrete Manufacturing Organization

Here is a quick reference of accounting events associated with a typical "Procure to Ship" Order fulfillment cycle in a
Discrete Manufacturing Organization using Average Costing. I've tried to compile key transactions and put it in a concise
way. Though this information is widely available in Oracle user guides as well as on several other sites, I use this concise
format for easy and quick reference and sharing the same with you all. I shall be sharing the same for standard costing
organization as well on The Oracle Manufacturing Blog shortly.
