Work in Process

Work in Process supports Discrete, Repetitive, assemble-to-order, work order less, project or combination of
manufacturing methods.

Work in Process interacts with following

1. Oracle Projects
2. Oracle Cost Management
3. Oracle quality
4. Oracle Inventory
5. Oracle Planning/Capacity
6. Oracle Purchasing
7. Oracle Bill of Materials
8. Oracle HRMS
9. Oracle Engineering
10. Oracle Order Management

WIP Setups

Following are the mandatory setups for WIP

1. WIP Parameters
2. WIP Accounting Classes and
3. WIP Profile Options

WIP Supply Types

WHAT: Supply Type controls how components materials are

 Supplied to Discrete Jobs

  Planned in Oracle MRP/Master Scheduling and Supply Chain Planning
 Costed in Oracle Cost Management

HOW: Supply Types are assigned to Components in following ways

 Organization Item Setups

 At the time of BOM Creation

TYPES: Following are the types of Supply Types

1. Assembly Pull
- Components are issued to job when job is completed
- Components are pulled from supply subinventory assigned to components

2. Operation Pull
- Components are issued to job at time of completing backflush operations
- Pulled from supply subinventory assigned to components
- Operation Pull CANNOT be assigned to assembly without routing

3. Push
- Issues manually to job as required
- Backflush subinventory can be specified at time of issuing the components to job
- “Wip Component Issue” from material transactions is used for issuing the components to
assembly

4. Phantom
- Assigned to BOM component subassemblies and items
- Do not appear on WIP Job
- When assembly cost is rolled, cost components assigned to Phantom is rolled up to the parent

5. Bulk
- Can be viewed and displayed on report
- Shows shop floor requirement but cannot be transacted/backflushed
- Used for non-expensive items
- If required can be manually issues to job

6. Supplier
- Provides information on component that supplier provides but can’t be transacted
- Supplier components are not backflushed, nor do they default when issuing all components for
manufacturing
- They can be manually issued to discrete jobs and repetitive schedule

WIP PARAMETERS

1. Discrete Tab
- Default Discrete Class
 This field is used only for discrete jobs and determines which accounting class is
defaulted when standard discrete job is created

- Default Lot Number Type

Determines how Lot numbers are assigned to Discrete Jobs
 Job Name – Lot number is same as Job Name
 Based on Inventory Rule – In this case lot number generation method defined at
Organization Parameters is used

- Respond to Sales Order Changes

Determines WHEN and HOW the system responds to changes to CTO sales order
