Goal

Oracle Support may provide datafix scripts to correct the on-hand quantity information by creating new transactions. (typically miscellaneous or subinventory transfer transactions)
Example: Missing locator issues like described in <Note 282480.1>.
The datafix script would prompt the user to enter a value for DISTRIBUTION_ACCOUNT_ID. It is the internal identifier (eg "code combination ID") of the accounting key flexfield combination for the Inventory distribution account.

The DISTRIBUTION_ACCOUNT_ID is also required for datafix scripts that update the distribution account. (for instance when it is missing)
Example: Costing errors 'CST_NO_TXN_INVALID_ACCOUNT' like in <Note 178560.1>.

The purpose of this note is to assist customers in determining the correct value for DISTRIBUTION_ACCOUNT_ID.
