  "objective": {
    "intro": "The objective of this test is to validate that material can be transferred between subinventories within the same Oracle Fusion inventory organization using a valid item, source subinventory and locator, target subinventory and locator, quantity, and lot or serial detail where applicable, and that the transfer is reflected correctly on both sides of the movement.",
    "confirms": [
      "the transfer is initiated for the correct inventory organization and item",
      "source subinventory and locator information is captured correctly",
      "target subinventory and locator information is captured correctly",
      "lot and serial detail, where the item is lot- or serial-controlled, is carried correctly to the target subinventory",
      "the total organization on-hand quantity is preserved across the transfer — the source subinventory decreases by exactly the amount the target subinventory increases, so net organization on-hand is unchanged",
      "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 a subinventory-to-subinventory transfer within a single Oracle Fusion inventory organization in TEST/UAT environments, including locator, lot and serial variations. A core assertion of this scenario is balance conservation: the source subinventory quantity decrease must equal the target subinventory quantity increase, leaving total organization on-hand unchanged. It does not cover transfers between inventory organizations, receiving transactions or standalone corrections, which are covered by separate scenarios in the same Item Transactions cluster."
