  "objective": {
    "intro": "The objective of this test is to validate inactivation of items at master and organization level in Oracle Fusion SCM Product Management, including blocking of inactivation when open transactions or open work orders exist, and reactivation of previously inactivated items, without assuming inactivation is always immediate or irreversible.",
    "confirms": [
      "the item is correctly inactivated at the selected level (master or organization), as configured",
      "inactivation with an effective date is correctly applied on or after the configured effective date",
      "inactivation is correctly blocked when open transactions or open work orders exist against the item, as configured",
      "an inactive item is correctly blocked from being used in new transactions",
      "a previously inactivated item can be correctly reactivated where reactivation is permitted",
      "Oracle correctly enforces validation when data errors, configuration errors or security restrictions are introduced (DATA_ERROR, CONFIGURATION_ERROR, SECURITY_ERROR, EXPECTED_VALIDATION)"
    ],
    "scope_note": "This scenario covers inactivating and reactivating an existing item at master or organization level in Oracle Fusion SCM Product Management TEST/UAT environments. It does not cover creation of the item itself or its broader lifecycle status transitions, which are covered by the separate Create Item and Item Lifecycle Status scenarios in the same Product Management family. Inactivation is never assumed to be immediate or irreversible — exact behavior depends on customer-specific Oracle Fusion configuration."
