oracle manufacturing cloud?
What are the key differences of features in Process Manufacturing as compared to Discrete Manufacturing?
Is Project Manufacturing available through Oracle Manufacturing?
Is it feasible to accurately track Batch Quantity at each work order operation level?
Though "Default Transaction Quantity" is set to none and "Default Transaction Mode" is set to "Entered' in plant
parameters, why is the resource 'To Charge' value not defaulting in 'Review Dispatch List'?
Are batch resources supported in manufacturing cloud i.e. where resources are modeled by their capacity e.g. Product
A volume is 10 cubic meters when in a process for 2 hours, while product B volume is 8 cubic meters when in the
same process for 3 hours while process capacity volume is 20 cubic meters?

Information in this document applies to any platform.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to provide a complete guide to implementers through setups on manufacturing cloud.
SCOPE
This document will guide implementation teams through setups in discrete and process manufacturing, address frequently
asked questions and help troubleshoot common issues.
DETAILS
Discrete and Process
Following are the setups in manufacturing.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
1. Setup inventory organization as a plant (Required)

2. Setup subinventories (Required)
3. Pick slip grouping rules (Optional)
4. Setup plant parameters (Required)
5. Assign roles and data access to users (Required)
6. Setup plant profiles (Required)
7. Setup work areas (Required)
8. Setup work centers (Required)
9. Setup production resources (Optional)
10. Setup additional work order statuses (Optional)
The setups required for setting the plant schedules (calendar) is available under a separate document. Execute these setups
sequentially in the order specified above.
To set up Oracle Fusion Manufacturing, perform the setup tasks specified in the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials
Management offering on the Setup and Maintenance work area.
Setup Inventory Organization
The inventory organization is a facility within the organization that defines a manufacturing plant. It is associated with a
location of the plant, legal entity, management business unit and profit center business unit.
In order to define an inventory organization as manufacturing plant, the parameter “Organization is a manufacturing plant”
must be checked.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
The “Time Zone” parameter defines the time zone used by the plant for scheduling.
Setup subinventories
From a manufacturing perspective, the inventory organization defined as a plant will require defining subinventories for
materials to be staged and placed back on completion. The subinventory from where work in progress will issue the materials
to work order is the supply subinventory, while the subinventory where product is completed is the completion subinventory.
Subinventory of storage type are designated for supply and completion subinventories.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Material status of subinventory decides inventory transactions allowed on work order for e.g. if materials issue is allowed from
a subinventory or if product completion transaction is allowed. Following are the standard inventory transaction types allowed
on work order.
Work in Process Material Issue

Work in Process Negative Material Issue
Work in Process Negative Material Return
Work in Process Pick
Work in Process Product Completion
The subinventory could optionally be locator controlled.
Pick slip grouping rules
While picking materials for the work order, the pick slip grouping rules decide how the materials to be picked will be grouped
together into a pick slip. Work area, work center, operation, push or pull supply type are some of the attributes available to
group pick slips to the work. It is not required specify any of attributes in which case, picks made would not grouped based on
any of attributes. At time of work order release using the button “Release and Pick Materials” or using the task “Pick Materials
for Work Orders”. Both the actions submit the program “Pick Materials for Work Orders”. Pick slip grouping rule is a mandatory
parameter for this program.

Assign roles and data access to users
Following seeded job roles are available for manufacturing cloud.
Manufacturing Engineer
Individual responsible for dealing with different manufacturing practices and processes, and for the research and development
of systems, processes, machines, tools and equipment that turn raw material into a product.
Production Operator
Individual responsible for material handling, fabrication, assembly and finishing of products, and preparing finished products
for warehousing and shipping.
Production Supervisor
Individual responsible for planning, directing and coordinating production operations and activities in a manufacturing
organization. This person ensures product output and quality meet established goals while remaining on budget.
Navigate to security console to assign the roles to specific users. Employee/Contingent worker role is required to define the
user as a resource instance.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Data Access
The roles can assigned to user based on job function performed. Review the documentation “Security Reference for
Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management” for details on duties and privileges available under each of the above
roles. Next, assign the plant to which data access is required for the user.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Setup plant profiles
The below two profile options determine the UOM class and UOM to be used for scheduling work orders in manufacturing.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Identifies the UOM class for Time. Specify the default UOM class for service duration units, and enables manufacturing to show
the units of time assigned with this class.
ORA_RCS_HOUR_UOM
Contains the UOM representing hours. Identifies which “Unit of Measure represents” a standard hour of time for “Time” UOM
class specified in RCS_DEFAULT_UOM_SERVICE_DURATION_CLASS.
Note: This should not be set to minute, seconds or other equivalents of “Time” UOM class, else work order scheduling will
be incorrect as calculation is based on hour equivalent.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
RCS_DEFAULT_MFG_PLANT_ORG
This is an optional profile. It defaults the plant context on user login to the value specified in the profile for manufacturing.
This sets organization context automatically when navigating to any manufacturing screen. On modifying the organization
context to another plant, the modified context applies to further navigation.
ORA_RCS_SHOW_UNRELEASED_SCM_COMMON_FEATURES
This is currently an unused profile.
Setup work areas
A work area is a specific region in the manufacturing plant where you execute production activities. The work area is a
physical, geographical, or logical grouping of work centers.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Above picture depicts the concept of work area within a manufacturing plant.
Note: It mandatory to define at least one work area for a manufacturing plant with at least one work center for each work
area.
Setup work centers
Work centers are specific production units that consist of people or equipment. Work center is associated with an active work
area. Besides creating/editing/deleting a work center, work center task will allow the following:
Add resources to a work center and allocate resources to different shifts

View and manage exceptions associated to the resources
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Let us assume a work area within a plant that manufactures display units. In the manufacturing line area, there are three
workshops, each using separate resources and equipments. Each workshop has raw materials issued from three different
subinventory. Below is an example of organizing the implementation into concept of work area and center.
Above figure shows three work centers to build the display unit. Cables workshop assembles the cables together into the
workshop, monitors workshop to build the monitor unit and final assembly workshop to build the output from other two work
centers for finished product. All three work centers have different equipment's and resources. Three distinct supply
subinventories feed raw materials to each work center.
Below is an example of the configuration of work are and centers in the application.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Work area should be active to assign to a work center. Below are the work centers configured for the example above.
Prior to creating the work center, configure the production resource and equipment associated with the work center.
Setup production resources
Resources are people, machines, and tools allocated to a work center. Resources are of two types:
Labor
Equipment
Optionally it is possible to specify a resource instance to specific an equipment or labor for the resource.
Resource Instances
Resource instances are granular representations of a resource in the Manufacturing application. One or more resource
instances can be associated to a resource.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
A labor resource instance represents the names of actual people working in the manufacturing shop floor. While an equipment
resource instance represents the names of actual machines used in the manufacturing shop floor.
In Oracle Fusion Applications Cloud, using Setup and Maintenance work area, in order to monitor IoT equipments/resources,
create third party application called “IoT Production Monitoring”, which identifies the IoT Production Monitoring cloud instance
that Manufacturing Cloud will integrate.
The above picture illustrates the association of production resources with resource instances and work center. Person types in
Oracle Trading Community Architecture that can be associated to a resource instance and can be any of the following:
Employee
Contingent Worker
Partner Contact
In case of a labor resource, associate the user with an employee record.
Figure above shows employee record being associated with the user. Under customer data management, the employee record
should be associated with a party. Human resources employee record should synchronize automatically in sales cloud.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Upon the association, the employee/contingent worker/partner contact will be available to associate as a resource instance.
A resource class allows classifying the resources through a standard lookup. Below is an example for creation of the resource
class lookup and it association to resource of type equipment. In order to creating the lookup, navigate to “Manage Production
Lookups” under “Setup and Maintenance”. Identify the lookup “ORA_WIS_RESOURCE_CLASS”. Define values for the resource
class to classify the resource.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Create the resource of type equipment and associate the resource class defined above.
Once the resources are defined, associate with the work center using “Manage Work Center” task under “Setup and
Maintenance”
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Currently default assigned units is one for both resource while resource UOM for both labor and equipment was “Hour”.
Another knowledge article covers details on calendar, schedule and lead-time calculation.
Setup additional work order statuses
The task “Manage Work Order Statuses” can be used to define additional statuses as desired by the user. Provide a unique
name and code for the status, and associate it to a system status.
Note: It is recommended to not update the name of the system status. However, if you want to, you must do it in a way that
the user can understand and associate it to the original name of the system status.
System and user-defined statuses allow update of both Name and Description attributes.
Note: It is recommended to not update the name of the system status. However, if you want to, you must do it in a way
that the user can understand and associate it to the original name of the system status.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Process Manufacturing Setups

Batch Production for Process Manufacturing introduced “Work method” that allows mixed mode allowing work definitions and
orders to be defined for both discrete and process manufacturing at the same time. Work method drives the mixed mode
instead of item as in discrete manufacturing.
Following plant parameter defines enablement of process manufacturing along with discrete and default work method.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Rest of manufacturing setups discussed in this knowledge article will remain the same.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the operation dependency feature (Start to Start - Start to Finish ...) and machine capacity distribution available in
oracle manufacturing cloud?
Oracle Manufacturing Cloud currently supports unconstrained scheduling out of the box to schedule work orders using Finish-
to-Start relationship between operations. Start-to-Start relationship using the unconstrained schedule is a product
enhancement. Oracle Production Scheduling (Planning) product is on the roadmap for a future release. This will be more
appropriate to handle capacity constraints and other operation relationship constraints. The alternative approach is currently to
use work order REST API with scheduling mode as 'NO_SCHEDULING' and supply the dates manually to establish start to start
relationships (parallel and overlap operations), or use a third party scheduling tool and interface with Oracle Manufacturing
using REST APIs. While using this approach it is important to ensure that while operations can overlap, the dates between
entities have to be encompassed, i.e. resource dates should be encompassed within their operations, and operation dates
should be encompassed within the work order dates.
What are the key differences of features in Process Manufacturing as compared to Discrete Manufacturing?
One of the key differences is the support for multiple output items in any operation. However, process manufacturing does not
support serial tracked operations.
The lot selection and lot generation processes are similar to discrete. Component lot numbers should be pre-generated and
needs to be picked or scanned. For lot controlled output items, lot numbers can be generated at completion.
Is Project Manufacturing available through Oracle Manufacturing?
Yes, project manufacturing is available from release 13 update 20A. Project-Driven Supply Chain (PDSC) is part of release 13
update 20A. It will include the ability to segregate and value your inventory by project, sales order by project,
ship/receive/pick by project, transfer inventory within and across warehouse by project, procure by project, manufacture by
project, and execute maintenance by project.
Is it feasible to accurately track Batch Quantity at each work order operation level?
Operation Yield for Process Manufacturing is not supported currently.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Though "Default Transaction Quantity" is set to none and "Default Transaction Mode" is set to "Entered' in plant
parameters, why is the resource 'To Charge' value not defaulting in 'Review Dispatch List'?
The changes to plant parameters does not impact the 'To Charge' or 'To Transact' (in backflush) defaulting.
Are batch resources supported in manufacturing cloud i.e. where resources are modeled by their capacity e.g.
Product A volume is 10 cubic meters when in a process for 2 hours, while product B volume is 8 cubic meters when
in the same process for 3 hours while process capacity volume is 20 cubic meters?
Currently this is not supported. here are two aspects in this - scheduling and work execution that needs to be considered.
From Work Execution standpoint, the work orders are scheduled using unconstrained scheduler which ignores capacities. So
you can have separate work orders(for discrete) or same work order(for process) using the same resource to manufacture
different products. There is no restriction for this in manufacturing cloud.
However, from scheduling perspective, it is in the road map to develop Production Scheduling Cloud to consider capacity
constraints while scheduling/planning work order supplies.
Does manufacturing support tooling / production resources?
Equipment or Labor are two categories for a production resource. It is possible to model tools as equipment resources or
introduce “Tools” as a resource class and attach this class while defining the resource. Details of creating a resource class is
available under setups in this document.
Is it feasible to share resources across work centers? If so, is there a way to specify a percentage shared for each
work center?
Multiple work centers can share a resource. However, each work center maintains resource availability for the shared resource
separately. Currently it is not possible to define percentage of sharing for a resource at work center level.
Is it possible to copy resources?
No, currently copying a resource is not a supported action.
Is there a feature to limit the capacity of manufacturing?
This feature is available through constrained planning.
While completing the last operations of work order using the 'Review Dispatch List' only the Product and Inventory
train stops are appearing while the Backflush materials and Autotransact resources train stop does not show up. Is
there a setup governing the display of these train stops?
Backflush and Autotransact resource train stop will only appear if quantity changes are allowed for both material and resources
in the plant parameters. Set the plant parameter "Allow quantity changes during Backflush" to "Both" i.e. Materials and
Resources.
Is it Possible to Import Resources, Work Areas and Work Centers using FBDI/ADFDI?
Follow Doc ID 2493433.1 - Is it Possible to Import Resources, Work Areas and Work Centers using FBDI/ADFDI?
Is there and option to upload the work center, work areas, and production resources using excel upload?
This can be achieved through FSM (Functional Setup Manager) upload. FBDI is not available to upload these entities.
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Why is the option 'Organization is a manufacturing plant' greyed out/locked for update in 'Manage Inventory
Organization' parameter setup?
After defining an organization as a manufacturing plant, the option to select/deselect the option is greyed out after plant
parameters are defined using 'Manage Plant Parameters'
Can the 'Work Order Starting Number' field in 'Manage Plant Parameters' be modified?
The document sequence if unedited during the initial setup (Manage Plant Parameters) is generated with a default value of
1000. There is no current provision to update it once the setup is saved.
The latest sequence and start number can be viewed in Manage Document Sequence setup task in FSM.
Troubleshooting
Tips for troubleshooting manufacturing setups
6/1/2020 Document 2655912.1
Review access to Application Implementation Consultant role. This is required for setting up the tasks required in supply
chain management.
Certain tasks require data access to inventory organization/plant/data access set. Ensure provisioning of requisite
access to the user.
Review the inventory organization setups. Some of missing setups/options selected are crucial to manufacturing.
Review if the subinventory setups, e.g. if they storage subinventories etc.
Review the inventory and manufacturing specification of the item created in PIM prior to creation of work
definition/orders.
Common Issues
Work order error - The Value of the attribute Completion Subinventory is not valid
Issue: When trying to create a Standard Work Order the follow error pops up: "The Value of the attribute Completion
Subinventory is not valid"
Cause: The default Supply Subinventory and default Completion Subinventory assigned to the Manufacturing Plant in Manage
