Do Not Use Database Tools to Modify Oracle Applications Data

Oracle STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that you never use SQL*Plus, Oracle Data Browser, database triggers, or any other tool to modify Oracle Applications data unless otherwise instructed. Oracle provides powerful tools you can use to create, store, change, retrieve, and maintain information in an Oracle database. But if you use Oracle tools such as SQL*Plus to modify Oracle Applications data, you risk destroying the integrity of your data and you lose the ability to audit changes to your data. Because Oracle Applications tables are interrelated, any change you make using Oracle Applications can update many tables at once. But when you modify Oracle Applications data using anything other than Oracle Applications, you may change a row in one table without making corresponding changes in related tables. If your tables get out of synchronization with each other, you risk retrieving erroneous information and you risk unpredictable results throughout Oracle Applications. When you use Oracle Applications to modify your data, Oracle Applications automatically checks that your changes are valid. Oracle Applications also keeps track of who changes information. If you enter information into database tables using database tools, you may store invalid information. You also lose the ability to track who has changed your information because SQL*Plus and other database tools do not keep a record of changes.
About Oracle
Oracle Corporation develops and markets an integrated line of software products for database management, applications development, decision support, and office automation, as well as Oracle Applications, an integrated suite of more than 160 software modules for financial management, supply chain management, manufacturing, project systems, human resources and customer relationship management.

Overview of Shop Floor Management

Oracle Shop Floor Management manages complex shop floor information and bridges the gap between Oracle Manufacturing and the shop floor by expanding the capabilities of Oracles Manufacturing Applications. It enhances the core product by making integrated shop floor/MES information available at the enterprise level to combine manufacturing excellence with customer responsiveness. Oracle Shop Floor Management uses a single data repository to guarantee information consistency for manufacturing execution. You can create and release discrete jobs and lot based jobs in the same manufacturing organization. The major features include:

Oracle Shop Floor Management Users Guide
Shop Floor Management Flow

The process flow begins when a primary component for the lot based job is created. When the lot is created and released, it moves through a series of operations to an inventory location, where it becomes an Inventory Lot. The Inventory Lot then moves into the next bill of material levelbecoming a new WIP Lot. The new WIP lot moves through a series of operations, and is completed into inventory location for the next sector. This process is repeated through each sector until the last sector is complete. The following graphic displays the Shop Floor Management flow just described.
Multilevel Bill of Material

The relationship between the items that represent the different forms the lot takes is stored as a multi-level bill of material. These items are called the primary assembly of that level of the bill. Each of these primary assembly items has its own routing. A lot sector converts inventory lot components into a lot based job. When the job is completed it becomes an inventory lot for the next lot sector. Lot based jobs support operation pull, push and phantom supply typesother supply types are not currently supported.
Phantoms
Phantom assemblies are non-stocked assemblies used to group material. In discrete jobs, all routing operations are known; in lot based jobs only the first operation is know. The difference in using phantom supply type in lot based jobs is:
s
Lot based jobs consider only the components and resource on the primary path of the routing if the Use Phantom Routing flag is set to Yes. Otherwise it considers all the components of the phantom in the primary and alternate path. Material requirements are exploded during job creation for the first operation, and during the subsequent move or jump operation. While performing update routing or update assembly transactions at the Queue intraoperation step, if you have phantom exploded components at the current operationyou must manually reverse the charges.
Note: Lot based jobs copy only the first operation, and do not
explode the phantom assemblies at the last operation. Phantom material attached to the last operation is exploded when the job is moved to the last operation.
Before using phantom assemblies, the following parameters in Oracle Bills of Material need to be set:
s
Use Phantom RoutingsIndicates if the resource and overhead costs (including those for outside processing resources assigned to phantom routing operations) associated with the components are ignored, or charged to the jobs assembly. Also determines whether only the components on the primary path, or all the components in the primary and alternate are exploded.
1-4
Inherit Phantom Operation SequenceThis parameter is used by discrete and lot based jobs; the phantom routing operation sequence number is always inherited from the parent network operation sequence.
The following table explains the behavior of the phantom assemblies based on the BOM parameter set up for phantoms:
Name of the Parameter BOM: Use phantom routing BOM: Inherit phantom operation sequence
Scenerio Scenerio 1
Setting Yes
Behavior Material in primary path is exploded
Scenerio 1
Yes
The lot based job does not inherit phantom operation sequence from the phantom network but the operation sequence number is always inherited from the parent network operation sequence. Material in primary and alternate path is exploded. No resource requirement is created The lot based job does not inherit phantom operation sequence from the phantom network but the operation sequence number is always inherited from the parent network operation sequence. Not Applicable
Scenerio 2
BOM: Use phantom routing BOM: Inherit phantom operation sequence
No
Scenerio 2
No
Scenerio 3
BOM: Use phantom routing BOM: Inherit phantom operation sequence
Yes
Scenerio 3
No
Not Applicable
Note: Oracle Shop Floor Management has some limitations while using the
phantom supply type material:

s
If the Bill of Material of the assembly calls for a phantom supply type material at the first operation, the Lot Creation window does not allow you to create the job and a warning message is displayed. Phantom material is always a non stocked item.
You are not allowed to update the phantom supply type material using Material Transaction window.
Network Routings
Oracle Shop Floor Management provides flexible routing ability for lot based jobs. This type of routing is used in businesses such as the semiconductor industry where the paths that jobs take is not always known or understood at the time the job is created. Depending on the initial operation, subsequent operation paths are decided. Flexible, or network routings enable you to define all possible operations paths that a job can take. This networked predefined path definition provides for dynamic flexible operation. Numerous possibilities are defined as part of a routing network, any one being selectable based on the outcome of the last operation within the job performed. The routing network must have only one beginning and one ending operation. As the job goes through the production cycle, you build a history of operations that the WIP lot actually moves, selectable from the possibilities defined in the network. A network of operations is available to model your shop floor, define possible rework points, or define a linear path. It consists of a series of nodes and paths which make up the routing network, and it is referenced by the Move Lot Based Jobs window to determine which operations a job can traverse.
1-6
Enhanced Lot Functionality

Lot Transactions
WIP Lot Move transactions reference network routings and intra-operation steps. You can jump to other operations not defined on a network routing, and also put a job on hold at any operation. The flow of a lot begins when a WIP Lot is created for the first sectors primary component and released. When it is completed, it becomes an Inventory lot and can be issued to the next sector as the primary component. Oracle Shop Floor Management lot transactions include:
s
Network routing moves Operation jumps Lot splitting Lot merging Lot renaming Bonus lots Translate lots Transfer lots Operation holds
Lot Genealogy
The Lot Genealogy enables you to view the genealogy, or historical production information of a lot. It provides you with detailed lot information about the sectors the lot has moved through, and related lot transactions. It also enables you to view forward and backward direction or genealogy. View Genealogy to view historical informations in the Lot Genealogy window, see: Displaying Genealogy and Where used Views, on page 5-3.
Co-Products
Oracle Shop Floor Management co-products extend standard Oracle Bills of Material definitions. You can use the Define Co-Products window to define an item as the primary component of several end items (for example, one ungraded die which produces several die grades). You define the primary end item and the expected distribution across all the end items. Upon entering this information in the
Define Co-Products window, the bill of material of the end items are automatically created.
Operation Yields
Operation Yield costing enables you to include the cost of operation yield in the cost rollup of an assembly. You can also track the operation yield related variance by operation for lot based jobs. Oracle Shop Floor Management costing includes these features:
s
Yield Definitionsyields are defined at the operations level allowing cumulative and reverse cumulative yield calculations at every operation. Costing Supportcost rollup considers material, overhead and resource costs using operation yield at the operation rather than the shrinkage.
Note: Oracle Shop Floor Management only uses the standard
costing method.
Integration with Oracle Applications

Oracle Shop Floor Management expands the capabilities of Oracles Manufacturing applications by making integrated shop floor information available at the enterprise level to combine manufacturing capabilities with customer responsiveness. This integration information allows scheduling and execution components to work together for job releases on the shop floor. Oracle Shop Floor Management integrates with the following Oracle applications:
s
Inventory Bills of Material Work in Process Cost Management Quality Warehouse Management Manufacturing Scheduling If Oracle Manufacturing Scheduling is enabled, you can use the Scheduler Workbench to schedule discrete jobs created in lot based organizations.
1-8
Advanced Supply Chain Planning

Note: Oracle Shop Floor Management does not integrate with
Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP.
Component Picking
You can perform component picking transactions for lot based jobs using the rules based system in Oracle Warehouse Management. The Component Pick Release window is used to select requirements and create move orders. It is a graphical workbench that displays fields applicable to the job or schedule type accessed. The features in component picking for lot based jobs include:
s

Overview of Setting Up
This section contains an overview of the steps to complete to set up Oracle Shop Floor Management. For instructions on how to complete each task, see the setup sections indicated in each step. Setup involves several phases, including setting up other applications including Oracle Inventory, Oracle Bills of Material, and Oracle Work in Process. You may not need to perform some of the steps below if youve already performed a common-application setup.
Set Up Oracle Applications Technology

The setup steps in this chapter tell you how to implement the parts of Oracle Applications specific to Oracle Shop Floor Management. The Implementation Wizard guides you through the entire Oracle Applications setup, including system administration. However, if you do not use the Wizard, you need to complete several other setup steps, including:
s
Performing system-wide setup tasks, such as configuring concurrent managers and printers Managing data security, which includes setting up responsibilities to allow access to a specific set of business data and transactions, and assigning individual users to one or more of these responsibilities
Oracle Applications Implementation Wizard

If you are implementing more than one Oracle Applications product, you may want to use the Oracle Applications Implementation Wizard to coordinate your setup activities. The Implementation Wizard guides you through the setup steps for the applications you have installed, suggesting a logical sequence that satisfies cross-product implementation dependencies and reduces redundant setup steps. The Wizard also identifies steps that can be completed independently by several teams working in parallel to help you manage your implementation process most efficiently. You can use the Implementation Wizard as a resource center to see a graphical overview of setup steps, read outline help for a setup activity, and open the appropriate setup window. You can also document your implementation, for further reference and review, by using the Wizard to record comments for each step.

Defining Parameters
Defining Parameters
The Oracle Shop Floor Management parameters define operation movement and default values for the transactions you are creating.
To define the Shop Floor Management parameters:

1. 2.
Navigate to the Shop Floor Management Parameters window. In the Lot Based Jobs region, set the value you want to use when lots are created and completed. In the New Lot Separator field, the default value is a dash character (-) and can be changed to any value. When lots are created, split, or renamedthe resulting lot designation is the original lot number, followed by this value, followed by sequential numbering. See: WIP Lot Transactions, on page 4-17, Inventory Lot Transactions, on page 4-22.
In the Job Completion Separator field, the default value is a dash character (-) and can be changed to any value. When lots are completed the resulting lot designation is the original lot number, followed by this value, followed by the lot sector extension. See: Create Lot Move Transactions, on page 4-10.
Setting Up 2-11
Defining Parameters
Note: Do not use the same character value in both the job
completion separator, and in a segment of the job name. This creates an error in the resulting lot name. After you save your work, you can change these values if the jobs have not been completed.
s
The Undo Last Move check box enables you to undo the last move transaction. This check box must be marked here for the functionality to be defaulted on the Move Transaction window. See: Create Lot Move Transactions, on page 4-10. Honor Kanban Size parameter is used to determine whether to create a lot based job quantity equal to kanban size when components are pushed from an inventory lot during kanban replenishment. If this check box is not checked, lot based jobs are created for the maximum number of assemblies which can be built using the selected component lot. If the check box is checked, the system will honor the kanban lot size. In the Co Products Supply Default field, the default value is unchecked and can be changed to checked. If the check box is marked then planning will take into consideration supply for the co-products. In the Default Accounting Class field, enter the accounting class to used as the default accounting class in the Lot Based Jobs window. If no other rules, like getting the accounting class based on the item or subinventory association, return an accounting class then this default accounting class will be used. In the Accounts region, enter defaults for estimated scrap and miscellaneous transactions. The Estimated Scrap Accounting field is used disable scrap and operation yield calculations, the default value is Enabled: Enabled: Operation yield accounting and estimated scrap absorption are calculated when creating transactions for lot based jobs. The scrap account field is required when defining a department on the Departments window. Disabled: Operation yield accounting and estimated scrap absorption are not calculated. The scrap account is not a required field on the Departments window; you can enter an account number at the time of the scrap transaction.

In the Miscellaneous Transactions Account field enter the account to be used when issuing or receiving material. In the Transaction region, set the value you want to use when the transactions are complete. If you do not have Oracle Warehouse Management installed, check the Enable Inventory Lot Transactions check box. This flag indicates that the Oracle Shop Floor Management Inventory Lot Transactions API is used for importing transactions into Oracle Applications. If Oracle Warehouse Management is installed, Oracle Shop Floor Management, Warehouse Management System users are encouraged to use WSM for doing these Inventory Lot Transactions. You may perform these transactions through the Warehouse Management System mobile (RF) user interface. Inventory Lot Transactions performed in Warehouse Management System is available for viewing in the Lot Genealogy window. The Jump from Queue field is used to specify if material, resources and overhead charges of an operation are to be charged when you jump from queue of the operation. The default value is Charge Operation. Ignore Operation: Ignores the operation, therefore material resources and overhead charges at the From operation are not charged. Charge Operation: Materials, resources and overhead is charged at the From Operation.

Network Routings
3-1
Overview of Network Routings

Network routings, in Oracle Shop Floor Management, comprise all possible operations defined for manufacturing a particular assembly. While discrete jobs use standard routings, lot based jobs use network routings. The primary feature of network routings is, based on the results of an operation, to define different paths for the next operation. However, there must be a unique start and last operation defined in the network. When this information is captured, a network of operations is available for processing a lot based job on the shop floor. You define two major aspects to create this functionality. First, all the possible allowable operations are defined in the Oracle Shop Floor Management Routings window as shown in the following illustration. Operation yield information for costing updates is also defined in the Operation Yield tab of this window.
Next, the network operations are defined in the Routing Network window. Here the primary and alternate paths are outlined, and the percentage each is likely to be used. This percentage is used by Advanced Supply Chain Planning. The combination of definitions provides for dynamic, flexible operation of a job. There are numerous possibilities in executing a routing and any one of these can be based on the outcome of the last operation performed. However, there must be a unique starting operation and a unique ending operation in the entire network.
3-2
As seen in this illustration, the first example shows the Networkthat is, the entire network of the routing and all operations that the WIP Lot can use.
The next examplePrimary Pathshows the main path that a job is most likely to follow. And the third exampleActual Completion Pathshows the real route a particular job moved. This path could be the primary path or any of the other valid paths defined in the network. In the illustration, the job deviates from the primary path after operation B, and moves to operation C instead of D. Once a complete network routing is defined for a sector, a WIP Lot begins with a routing comprising only of the first and the last steps. As the job completes the first step, you select the next operation in the network. The process continues until the job reaches the last step when the job is completed.
Network Routings
3-3
Creating a Network Routing

The network routing defines different paths for the next operation. Oracle Shop Floor Management enables you to use both standard and non-standard operations in network routings, and supports repeating operationsstandard and non-standard.
To create a network routing:

1.
Navigate to the Routings window in the Oracle Shop Floor Management menu and enter information to define this items routing. This includes item number, alternate routing designator, revision, operation sequence, operation code, department, effective date, effective time, disabled date and disabled time. See: Creating a Routing, Oracle Bills of Material Users Guide
Note: When jobs are moved through network routing or WIP lot
transactions are performed, Oracle Shop Floor Management considers an operation effective if the jobs routing revision is greater than or equal to the operations effective date and less than or equal to its disable date if defined. In addition, a component is considered as effective if its effective date is less than or equal to the jobs BOM revision date. The operation sequence numbers entered for each operation in this window do not signify the order of the particular operation in Oracle Shop Floor Management. The actual operation sequencing is built as you choose the operations based on the network path.

Select the operation sequence code in the To Sequence fieldoperation code, description, and department automatically display. Select either primary or alternate path for this operation. Primary indicates that this is a routing path used most often, while alternate indicates that it is used as a backup. This window validates that the primary path is a complete chain of operations from start to end. You can have only one unique primary path. Loops are not permitted in the primary path but are in the alternate paths.
8.
In the Planning % field, enter the percentage that this path is used. Percentages for all the pathsoriginating from any node in the routing network, or ending on any nodemust total 100 percent.

You can modify network routings in several different ways:
To add or modify a network routing:

1. 2. 3. 4.
Navigate to the Routings window in the Oracle Shop Floor Management menu. If you are adding a new operation, enter this operation in the Main tab of the Routings window. Save your work. Choose Routing Network. The Routing Network window displays with the assembly item number and network.
5. 6.
Modify networks per your new requirements. Paths that are not required can be deleted with the exception of the first or last operation of a network routing. Save your work.
To delete a network routing paths:

1. 2.
Navigate to the Routing Network window. Select the routing path you want to delete, and choose delete from the Edit menu. Delete Standard operations from a routing in the Standard Operations window, see: Operations, Oracle Bills of Material Users Guide.
3.
Save your work.

Attention: You are not allowed to delete the first or last operation
of a network routing.
To import operations in a network routing:

The Routing Open Interface program enables you to import routing information. Imported routing details include routing revision, operation, instruction, and resource information. See: Importing Bills and Routings, Oracle Bills of Material Users Guide.

Defining Operation Yield Values on Routings

To define yield values on a routing:
1.
Navigate to the Routings window and enter the item number. This includes item number, alternate item number, revision, display option, operation sequence, operation code, department, and date ranges, see: Creating a Routing, Oracle Bills of Material Users Guide.
2.
Choose the Operation Yield tab. The values you entered for operation sequence and operation code number are displayed in this tab.
3.
In the Yield field, enter a value for component yield for first operation. This is the percent of the amount of a component required for an assembly plus the amount lost while building an assembly. For example, a yield factor of 0.90 means that only 90% of the usage quantity of the component on a bill actually becomes part of the finished assembly.
4.
Check the Include in Rollup check box if you want the items, resources, and overhead in this operation to be included in the cost rollup. Otherwise leave the box unchecked. The Include in Rollup check box defines if the operation is going to be included in the standard cost rollup. All operations, both primary and alternate, are defined on this form. You do not want all operations, both primary and alternate, to be included in the standard cost. When checking the box, make sure you want that operation to be included. If all operations are checked, including operations in the alternate paths, this would lead to an exaggerated standard cost and could create large variances. Ideally, you should check the Include in Rollup flag for all operations on the primary path.
costing method.
5. 6. 7.
Check the Operation Yield Enabled check box if you want this operations yield to be calculated, otherwise leave the box unchecked. Repeat steps 3 through 7 for all the operations in the routing. Save your work.
To calculate cumulative yield and reverse cumulative yield:

1. 2. 3.
Navigate to the Routings window and enter the item number. Choose the Operation Yield tab. Select Calculate Operation Yields from the Tools menu. This will calculate cumulative yield and reverse cumulative yield for the routing. When the calculations are computed, a note will appear letting you know the process is complete. Choose OK in the Note window. The CUM Yield, Reverse CUM Yield, and Net Planning % fields are then populated.

Integration with Advanced Supply Chain Planning

Network Routings are captured in a snapshot and used to calculate and plan resource requirements for existing lot based jobs and planned orders. This is accomplished using one the following methods:
s
The primary path Cumulative percentages Deriving the percentages based on resource availability
With the primary path method, orders are scheduled on the primary path. The cumulative percentages method takes advantage of the pre-calculated accumulated percentages from various paths on the network routing to guide scheduling. The third method, derives percentages based on resource availability, analyzes the current conditions on the shop floor and intelligently chooses alternate paths and determines the quantity which needs to be processed on each path. The reverse cumulative yields specified at the operation sequence level are captured in a snapshot by Advanced Supply Chain Planning and used to derive the component requirements. Advanced Supply Chain Planning loads resources using the inflated quantities derived from reverse cumulative yields at different operation sequences.

Setup is needed for Inventory, Bills of Material/Cost Management, Purchasing and Work in Process .See: Outside Processing, Oracle Work in Process Users Guide
s
Requisition Creation Time: To enable outside processing (OSP), you need to set requisition creation time in the WIP parameters window. In WIP discrete jobs, the At Job/Schedule Release setting creates purchase requisitions for all OSP operations in the routing, while At Operation setting creates purchase requisitions only when a job reaches the queue of an OSP operation. But in Shop Floor Management, you do not know the next operation a priori (i.e. due to network routing and jump transactions), hence purchase requisitions are only created at the queue of an outside processing operation. To support this, At Job/Schedule Release and At Operation behave identically for Shop Floor Management. Note: For Manual setting, all purchase requisitions must be created manually. See: Outside Processing, Oracle Work in Process Users Guide. OSP Resource, Department, Item: An OSP operation requires one or more OSP resources, which in turn must be associated with departments with location. In addition, a separate OSP item must be created to receive and charge the outside work (this item is associated with the resource). When creating the OSP item, the Purchasing Tabs of the Item window must have OSP-related settings, i.e. Purchased, Purchasable, Outside Processing Item must be checked. The list price must be specified in the purchasing master organization for generating purchase orders. See: Outside Processing, Oracle Work in Process Users Guide Routing: To associate an OSP resource with a routing (either directly or using standard operations), you must specify a charge type (either at the resource, the standard operation or the routing level). For Shop Floor Management, charge type PO Receipt should be used for OSP operations. PO Move, which moves any received quantity to the queue of the next operation in WIP discrete jobs, is de-supported (i.e. error message is appear in jobs with this setting). This is because in lot based jobs, the next operation is not predetermined and moreover partial receipts should not be moved till the entire quantity is received. See: Outside Processing, Oracle Work in Process Users Guide.
Outside Processing Scenarios

Automatic creation of purchase requisitions generally occurs when a job moves forward to or starts at the queue of an OSP operation (there are exceptions, such as Undo back to an OSP operation queue). You should expect a warning message at the queue of an OSP operation when performing a transaction that would invalidate one or more purchase requisitions. You should manually cancel or update purchase requisitions for such transactions. Note that these warning messages appear even for purchase requisitions that have not yet been completely processed by the purchasing transaction manager(i.e. are still in purchase requisition interface tables) as well as for purchase orders. As discussed in routings setup, charge type PO Move is de-supported. You are allowed to create operations in a routing with charge type PO Move, but are not able to start at or move to PO Move OSP operations.
Job Creation/Update
s
Lot Based Job Creation/Lot Creation: Starting a job at an OSP results in automatic purchase requisition creation. For the define Lot Based Job and Lot Creation windows, the starting operation, which is always the first operation of the routing, would need to have an OSP resources for this to occur. Creating a lot based job to start at a PO Move OSP operation gives an error and not allow the transaction to be saved (applies for both released and unreleased status). Lot Based Job Update: Creating a job as unreleased status will not result in purchase requisition creation, but upon changing the status to released, a purchase requisition is created if the starting operation is OSP. Increasing job quantity through the Lot Based Job window at an OSP operation causes a new purchase requisition to be created for the additional quantity. Changing job status from released to unreleased where the first operation is OSP would mean that a purchase requisition should no longer exist and will result in warning.
WIP Lot Transactions

s
Split/Merge: Performing WIP lot transactions that have new resulting jobs, such as split or merge, would mean that purchase requisitions or purchase orders for the starting jobs would need to cancelled manually. Note that instead of canceling all purchase requisitions or purchase orders for starting jobs and creating new purchase requisitions for resulting jobs, you can keep existing purchase requisitions or purchase orders by updating their distribution. Also note if a purchase requisition, purchase order is kept because a starting job
3-18
retained quantity and became a resulting job, then the quantity listed on that purchase requisition or purchase order would need to be updated manually.
s
Update Routing/Assembly: Updating the routing or assembly for a job to start at an OSP results in purchase requisition creation. If you are leaving the queue of an OSP operation, this would imply a purchase requisition is being abandoned in the old routing and would need to be manually cancelled. Attempting to update routing or assembly to start at a PO Move OSP operation will result in an error message and will not save. Update Quantity: Increasing job quantity through the WIP Lot Transactions window at an OSP operation causes a new purchase requisition to be created for the additional quantity. Bonus: For a bonus WIP lot transaction, we can start at any operation queue and expect automatic creation of a purchase requisition if an OSP resource is present. Starting a bonus job at any operation which has a resource of charge type PO Move result in an error.
Move Transactions
s
Move: Moving a job to the queue of any OSP operation results in the automatic creation of purchase requisitions. Moving to a PO Move OSP operation results in an error. You can move from an OSP operation without formally receiving the OSP item. Jump: Jumping to the queue of an OSP operation, both inside and outside the routing, results in the creation of a purchase requisition. A jump from an OSP operation queue (with Charge Jump From Queue set to OFF) results in a warning to manually cancel purchase requisitions. Jumping to a PO Move OSP operation results in an error. Undo: Performing an undo back to an OSP operation queue does not result in purchase requisition creation. An undo at an OSP operation result in a warning, since a purchase requisition may be abandoned.
Defining Network Routings

A warning is given if an outside processing resource of charge type PO Move is associated with an operation in the Network Routing window.

Overview of Lot Transactions

Oracle Shop Floor Management uses WIP lots and Inventory lots to create transactions. WIP lot transactions enable you to perform various work in process transactions during the production cycle, such as lot split, merge, part number change, and bonus (creating a new lot that is entirely new or from scrap). The process flow of a lot begins when a WIP lot based job is created for the first sectors primary assembly. The WIP lot is created and released, moves through a series of operations, and is completed into an inventory location, where it is an Inventory lot. Upon completion, the WIP lot has the appended sector extension code is assigned to the corresponding item subinventory. In this manner you can continue to use the same job name or lot name throughout the production process where the part number changes with each sector. In terms of the bill of material, the part being completed in a sector becomes the primary component of the part being made in the next sector. The Inventory lot then moves into the next sector. This move consists of creating a new WIP Lot for the primary assembly of the next bill level (the next sector), and issuing the primary assembly from the previous sector to this new WIP lot. After WIP lot creation and issue of the primary component, the job moves through a series of operations, and is completed into inventory location. This process is repeated through each sector until the last sector is complete.
Note: Lot based jobs are not considered in the Oracle Master
Scheduling/MRP, Oracle Supply Chain Planning, Oracle Order Management, or Oracle Project Management applications.

Creating a Lot Based Job

After you have completed set up steps for defining your item numbers, assemblies, bills of material, and network routingsthe next step is to create a lot based job for the first sector. The Lot Based Jobs window is used to define lots for the first sector of the manufacturing process and links them to assemblies on the shop floor. The lots for the other sectors are created using the Lot Creation window, see: Creating Lots for New Sectors, on page 4-25. Lot based jobs can not be created for serial number controlled assemblies. This restriction applies to the jobs created using forms and interface.
Note: Lot based jobs support operation pull, push, and phantom
supply types, other supply types are not currently supported.
Non-standard Lot Based Jobs

You can create non-standard lot based jobs. Standard jobs control the material, resources, and operations required to build an assembly and collect costs. Nonstandard jobs control material and collect costs for miscellaneous activity. These jobs can be used on expense work orders for testing, prototypes, and rework where operation yield costing is not considered. You can perform all transactions on a non-standard lot based job like moves, scraps, jumps, undos, completions, returns, material transactions; all WIP lot transactions like bonus, split, merge, update routing, update assembly, update quantity and update lot name. Non-standard lot based jobs use WIP accounting class type Expense Non-standard Lot Based. See: WIP Accounting Classes, Oracle Work in Process Users Guide. For non-standard jobs, you can choose whether to specify a subinventory or not. Thus subinventory is defaulted during job creation. If a subinventory is specified, you can complete the job into an inventory lot. You can perform the update of bom and routing reference ids provided the job in unreleased. To update any reference id, you have to provide the reference id, revision date and the alternate designator.

Oracle Work in Process discrete jobs and Shop Floor Management lot based jobs must not use the same value for Job name. In the Job Type field, the value defaults to standard. Oracle Shop Floor Management only uses standard jobs. As you proceed with the manufacturing process, the job name changes as lots are created, split, renamed, and completed. Keep in mind when creating lots that the name cannot exceed 30 characters. This includes the combination of sector extensions and lot separators appended to the resulting lot as it moves on the shop floor.
Note: Do not use the same character value for both the job
completion separator, and in a segment of the job name. When lots are completed the resulting lot designation is the original lot number, followed by the job separator value, followed by the lot sector extension. Using the same character value creates an error in the resulting lot name.

Lot based jobs support network routing. The primary feature of network routings is, based on the results of an operation, you can define different paths for the next operation. Therefore, two distinct lot based jobs for a particular assembly with the same routing, could move through different manufacturing operations in that routing. In comparison to the Move Transaction window for discrete jobs in Oracle Work in Process, the Move Lot Based Jobs window is more restrictive in the options when moving the lot through the routing. With the exception of scrap transactions, all move transactions are for the entire lot quantity. When a job is completed, the job name is automatically renamed using the lot sector extension, see: Defining Lot Sector Extensions, on page 2-13. Each shop floor move can generate a set of attributes associated with that movefor exampletransaction reason codes, product attributes, actual yield, and cycle time. You are prompted to enter values for some attributes, others are defaulted.
Creating Lot Move Transactions

Within a sector, you can move assemblies within an operation or from one operation to the next using the Move Lot Based Jobs window. This window is modeled after the Move Transactions window in Oracle Work in Process. See: Move Transactions, Oracle Work in Process Users Guide.

Overview of Lot Splitting and Merging

Oracle Shop Floor Management provides the ability to split and merge lots. Lots exist at different production points as either WIP lots or Inventory lots. Two windows, one for the WIP lot and the other for Inventory lot, give you the ability to perform various work in process and inventory transactions so you can divide, combine, rename existing lotsor create new lots from scrapped material. These windows enable you to do the following actions:
s
Lot Splitting: divide a lot into two or more resulting lots: split a released lot into two or more resulting lots that can have different resource, material requirements, and different operations.
Note: WIP Lot transactions cannot be performed for outside
processing operations. In instances where material is moved to the operation by outside processingreceive the material and move to the last intraoperation step or next operation before splitting the quantity. Lot Merging: combine multiple lots of the same item into one resulting lot. The starting lots must all be for the same revision of the same item, the identical quality attributes values, and be at the same intraoperation step with the same department and resources. Update Assembly: change the item, quantity, or revision of an existing lot and move it to another assembly. The lot number is renamed in these transactions. Bonus: recover scrap quantities to create a new lot, or create an entirely new lot.
Subinventory Transfer: move a lot from one subinventory/locator to another subinventory/ locator.
These transactions are created in the WIP Lot Transactions window, for WIP lots, or the Inventory Lot Transactions window for Inventory lots.

WIP Split/Merge functionality provides business solutions on the shop floor so you can do the following tasks: Lot Splitting: You can divide a lot into any number of child lots. The parent lot can be at any operation in the routing and may have created material, resource and cost transactions. The split lots have a value proportional to the number of units being split away. Scrap and variance due to scrap are associated with the lot number in the scrap transaction. Child lots have their own routings and bills of material, and you can create transactions against different child lots immediately after a split. Backward movement for a split transaction is not allowed. The transaction processing for splits is not linked to the cost processing for splits, as transactions may be entered into the system via the interface at any time. When a lot is split into multiple children, the standard costs collected at the starting job are redistributed to the resulting jobs. New lot numbers are automatically assigned to the child lots of a split transaction, but can be changed. New lots are independent entities linked by a transaction history associating their genealogy. Lot Merging: Multiple lots with identical assemblies can be combined to create a single parent lot. Only lots at the same current intraoperation step are merged. The new job is now at the operation where the lots were merged. Lot Bonus: You can increase the work order quantity, and credit a bonus account for the transaction. You can also simulate a recover transaction to start a lot on a given routing at a given step, and credit a bonus for the transaction. Update Assembly: One product can be translated into another productthat ischange the item, quantity, revision, or routing of an existing lot and move it to another assembly. There are no costing implications in this transaction. You are also able to switch to an alternate routing on the same operation step. If the translation is updating the routing, the WIP lot is updated with an alternate network routing defined for the assembly. When this type of translation is performed at the queue intraoperation step, the operation characteristics correspond to the same operation, if existing, in the new routing.
4-16
Assigning Starting Operation for Child Lots: A lot can be split into several child lots and processed on different routings, potentially creating other assemblies. Starting operation for the child lots is the same as the parent lot operation at the time of the split. For bonus lots, you can start a child lot at any operation sequence number on a given routing, otherwise it defaults to the queue step at the first operation. The operation history before the split is saved for all lots, used for scrap and standard cost update valuation.

Inventory Lot transactions enable you to split, merge, translate, and transfer inventory lots in Oracle Shop Floor Management. Lot Splitting: You can divide a lot into any number of child lots. The split lots have a value proportional to the number of units being split away. When a lot is split into multiple children, the costs allocated to the starting lot are reallocated to the resulting lots. New lot numbers are automatically assigned to the child lots of a split transaction, and can be changed. New lots are independent entities linked by a transaction history associating their genealogy.
Lot Merging: Multiple lots with identical assemblies can be combined to create a single merged lot. The assemblies for the lot is automatically moved to the current operation. Lot Translating: Enables users to either change the name of an inventory lot to another name, or convert one product to another product. For example, you can change the lot name, item, revision, or subinventory of an existing lot and move it to another assembly. Lot genealogy captures all transactions. Lot Transferring: A Lot an be moved from one subinventory location to another.

Creating Lots for New Sectors

The Assemblies manufactured in the first sector are getting completed into the respective subinventories. Now this lot is ready for the subsequent use in the next sector. The next step is to define the jobs in the subsequent sectors using the Lot Creation window. When a lot based job is created using lot creation feature, it is assumed that the starting component is necessarily issued to this job. Hence the starting component is pushed into this job ignoring the supply type defined for the component in the first operation.
. To create lots on the shop floor:

1. 2.
Navigate to the Lot Creation window. Select an Inventory lot number in the Starting Lot field. Information displays for subinventory location, locator number, item number and description, revision number, quantity on hand, and quantity available to transact.
3.
In the Job Information tab, the Resulting Lot designation displays and is the original lot number, followed by the New Lot Separator value, followed by sequential numbering. You can also define the revision number and revision date for Bill of Material and routing in order to use the component and operations effectivity. Information displays in the following fields and can be changed: Accounting Class, Completion Subinventory and Locator.
Attention: Please note that the starting component with phantom
supply type in the first operation of the subsequent sector assembly bill of material is not allowed. Hence the Lot Creation window does not permit you to create the lot based job with phantom supply type material in the first operation. If you happened to define two component in the first operation, only one is pushed into this job based on the starting lot selected.
4.
In the Quantity tabThe Job Quantity for this job is derived based on starting lot quantity available under this lot number and you can change the job quantity. You can also create multiple jobs for different assemblies and quantities. The system will create these multiple jobs and push this lot into the jobs. It is also allowed to create a job which is less than defaulted quantity. When you create a job using less than the starting lot quantity in the subinventory, the remaining quantity of the starting lot will be left in the subinventory and you can use of this for subsequent job creation. You can also issue a starting component for the quantity more than or less than equal to the component required quantity suggested by the system. In this case you can provide the required value in the Component Quantity Issued field. In addition the following information is available in this tab: component usage per assembly, component requirement for the job quantity, start Job Quantity, MRP Net. Some of theses values can be changed depending on the transactions performed for this lot. In the Planning tab, Start Date and Completion Date values display and can be changed. Check the Co-Products Supply check box to indicate that resulting lots are used as co-product supply.

Kanban Replenishment on Lot Based Jobs
6.
Save your work.
Note: The Lot and Serial Controlled assemblies are not supported
in Oracle Shop Floor Management enabled Organization. Also The Lot and Serial Controlled item cannot be used as starting lot component while using Lot Creation form.

Kanban is a pull based replenishment process in a manufacturing system. You can create lot based and discrete jobs to replenish empty kanbans. In addition, kanban supports creation of lot based jobs by selecting the starting inventory lot during kanban replenishment process. The following are major features of kanban support on a lot based jobs:
s
During kanban replenishment process, you can choose the starting Inventory Lot for the item attached to first operation. This is similar to lot based job creation using Lot Creation window. Honor Kanban Size parameter is used to determine whether to create a lot based job quantity equal to kanban size when components are pushed from an inventory lot during kanban replenishment. If this check box is not checked, lot based jobs are created for the maximum number of assemblies which can be built using the selected component lot. If the check box is checked, the system will honor the kanban lot size.
After a job is created using kanban replenishment, you can query the Lot Based Job window to view kanban information. The supply status of a production kanban is updated to Full when the assembly from replenishment lot based job is completed. Shop Floor Management allows a jobs with a kanban reference to be merged with another job with a different kanban reference (case 1), or a job with a kanban reference with a job without any reference (case 2). In the first case, one of the jobs is the representative lot, for that wip lot the net effect from a kanban standpoint is the same as a quantity update. But for non-representative lot the quantity become zero and the corresponding kanban card status is set to Empty and the job should be dereferenced. In the second case, if the kanban reference job is the representative lot, the net effect from a kanban standpoint is the same as a quantity update for that job. Else, the quantity become zero, the corresponding kanban card status is set to Empty and the job should be dereferenced. See: Defining Kanban Pull Sequences, Oracle Inventory Users Guide.

Overview of Co-Products
Overview of Co-Products
Co-products are assemblies or products belonging to the same product family, and manufactured from the same primary component. When you define co-products, you specify the assemblies, their planning percentages, and the primary component. One of the assemblies is the primary co-product and the others are the non-primary co-products. When you define the co-product group, corresponding bill of materials are created using both the primary bill of material and non-primary bill (or common bill) components. When you create co-products:
s
Define an item as the primary component of several end items. Define the expected distribution across all the end items. When you create this information in the Define Co-Products window, the Bills of Material of the end items are automatically created. Associate a rank and a distribution percentage for the co-products.
Oracle Shop Floor Management is integrated with Oracle Planning enabling you to perform transactions such as implementing planned orders as lot based jobs and rescheduling existing lot based jobs from the Planners Workbench.

Advanced Supply Chain Planning calculates supply for multiple assemblies based on the demand for any one of the possible co-product assemblies. The planner can generate and release planned orders for the item for which demand was realized. The planner can view co-product supplies being generated for the rest of the items in the co-product relationship. This enables tracking of the production for all co-products. The same applies if the planned order is converted into a lot based job. Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning collection program collects the co-products information into the planning server which is then used by the planning engine.

Overview of Lot Based Job Costing
Overview of Lot Based Job Costing

Many companies, such as those in the semiconductor industry, need to account for estimated scrap at each operation of a job. Operation yield is expressed as the compliment of the estimated scrap at each operation. When defining an items routing, you can enter operation yields at each operation on that routing, and specify whether that operations yield is to be rolled up into the assembly cost. The cost rollup includes this estimated yield loss absorption. During a lots WIP execution, operation yield cost is charged to the lot. Any difference between estimated scrap absorption and actual scrap is tracked by operation and by department. Oracle Shop Floor Management includes the following features:
s
Define operation level yields on the routing of a product Collect actual yields for a lot at all the required operations Calculate yield loss as part of the cost of the product
See Also Selecting and Item/Cost Type Association, Oracle Cost Management Users Guide Bills and Cost Rollups, Oracle Cost Management Users Guide Defining Operation Yield Values on Routings, on page 3-13
Cost Rollup for Network Routings

Cost Rollup considers material, overhead, and resource costs using the reverse cumulative yield as well as component and manufacturing shrinkage. The operation yield is factored into the rollup cost for the assembly if the Include in Rollup and the Operation Yield Enable flags are enabled for the operation on the routing. The operation is included in the cost rollup if the Include in Rollup flag is enable, irrespective of whether the operation lies on the primary or alternate path.
Standard Cost Update for Lot Based Jobs

As in discrete jobs, Standard Cost Update revalues job balances , creates accounting adjustments and prints the adjustments along with the new job values in the standard cost WIP adjustment report. However, new department-based overheads
7-2
Lot Based Jobs Transaction Costing
are not added to prior operations for lot based jobs. These new overheads are only included in future operations on the job. Adjustments to the job are generally offset by the standard cost adjustment account on the WIP accounting class. However, adjustments to WIP relieved value due to scrap in standard lot based jobs, are offset by the department actual scrap account. Also, the adjustment to the Estimated Scrap due to the standard cost update is offset by the department Estimated Scrap Absorption account. Standard Cost Update does not adjust existing jobs for changes made to the operation yield.
Phantom Routings
The department on the phantom routing should be the same as the department of the operation that uses the phantom. This is important because estimated scrap accounting is based on the operation department. Operation yields in phantom routing are not included (rollup) into the parent operations yield. See: Phantoms in Lot Based Jobs

There are seven types of WIP lot transactions available to lot based jobs including split, merge, update assembly, bonus, update routing, update quantity, and update lot number. Oracle Shop Floor Management enables you to include operation yields in the cost of an assembly for lot based jobs. During a lots progression on the shop floor the following transactions require costing: move, scrap, split, merge, bonus, and update quantity.
Move Transaction Costing

A move transaction moves assemblies within an operation, such as from queue to run, or from one operation to the next. Move transactions can automatically launch backflushing, charge resources and overheads. Manufacturing transactions created manually by the user, or due to backflush by the move processor, are costed similar to standard discrete jobs. See: Manufacturing Standard Cost Transactions, Oracle Work in Process Users Guide.
Estimated Scrap Accounting

As the WIP Lot progresses through each operation in the job, the department tied to the operation receives credit as Estimated Scrap Absorption for additional cost due to the operation yield. The job is debited as Estimated Scrap for this same cost.
7-3
Consider an operation 10, department A, with operation yield of 70%. If 100 units were sent into operation 10 in order to produce 10 completed units, then at 100% yield, the unit cost of the assembly is assumed to be $10. However, at the estimated yield of 70%, the unit cost is (100 * 10)/70 Hence the additional cost per unit assembly due to operation yield is (100*10)/70- 10 = 10 * (1/0.7 - 1) = 10 * [(1-0.7)/0.7] Estimated Scrap per unit = (Total operation cost per unit through the current operation + Total Estimated Scrap Cost per unit through the previous operation) * [(1 - op.yield)/op.yield] Dollars absorbed by the department due to good units completed in an operation = Estimated Scrap per unit * Number of good units that passed through the operation. The accounting entries for estimated scrap absorption transaction are:
Account WIP Valuation Estimated Scrap Account Department Estimated Scrap Absorption Account Debit XX XX Credit
Consider a second operation 20 following operation 10 from the previous example: Suppose that, out of the 70 good units that were sent into operation 20, 5 units were scrapped at operation 20. Since these have absorbed the additional cost due to estimated scrap in each of the previous operations (operation 10 in the present example), it is essential to reverse the estimated scrap absorption that has been done for the scrapped units. Net Reversal = (Total estimated scrap per unit through the previous operation) * Number of units actually scrapped
Account Department Actual Scrap Account WIP valuation Estimated Scrap Account Debit XX XX Credit
7-4
The assembly scrap is charged based on the job requirements to the actual scrap account defined for the department. See: Assembly Scrap Transactions, Oracle Cost Management Users Guide.
Account Department Actual Scrap Account WIP Valuation Accounts Debit XX XX Credit
Completion transactions relieve the WIP Valuation Accounts of the accounting class and charge the inventory valuation accounts based on the assemblys standard cost (Frozen). The operation yield cost is relieved from the Estimated Scrap Account.

Note: The WIP Estimated Scrap is allocated to the five INV
accounts. As in discrete jobs, the job close process writes off any remaining balances in the WIP Valuation Accounts to the respective variance account. The balance in the Estimated Scrap Account is written off the accounting class Estimated Scrap Variance Account.
Account WIP Estimated Scrap Variance Account WIP Valuation Estimated Scrap Accounts Debit XX XX Credit
The estimated scrap variance is primarily caused by deviations from the standard BOM or Routing. The difference between the estimated scrap absorption and actual scrap is the indicator reflecting the departments performance.
Disabling Estimated Scrap and Operation Yield Accounting

In some industries, such as the metals industry, there is no need to do estimated scrap absorption accounting as the scrapped items may be reused as a separate product. In addition, there may be no need to relieve cost from the job at the time of scrap. You can choose to disable estimated scrap accounting for any organization to simplify accounting setups and variance analysis. The Estimated Scrap Accounting flag is on the Shop Floor Parameter window. You can change the value on this field only if all lot based jobs are in one of the following statuses - Unreleased, Closed, On hold, or Canceled. If this field is set to enabled, the scrap transaction cost is relieved from the job and the scrap account is required on the Departments window. Estimated Scrap Accounting is performed as the job is moved from one operation to the next. When it is set to disabled, there is no Estimated Scrap Accounting. The Estimated Scrap Absorption and the actual Scrap accounts are not required on the Departments window. Other aspects of this feature include:
s
You may rollup cost into an updateable Cost Type with or without operation yield costing.
7-6
WIP Lot Based Jobs Transaction Costing
The Assembly Cost Rollup does not change because cost is calculated based on the Include In Rollup and Operation Yield Enabled flags in the network routing. These flags are independent to the Estimated Scrap Accounting decision. If the standard cost (Frozen Cost Type) is based on operation yield costing, the estimated scrap cost is included in the five cost elements for both Inventory Valuation and job completion costing. There will be no credit to the WIP Estimated Scrap Account for Assembly Completion transactions. At the time of the scrap transaction, you can enter a scrap account on the Move Lot Based Jobs window to relieve costs from the work order. Generally, if your standard cost is based on Yield Costing, you will not provide a scrap account and leave the scrap in the job. If your standard cost is not based on Yield Costing, you will provide a scrap account and the job will be relieved of scrap. In either case, the quantity scrapped in the operation is updated. The operation yield costing and scrap costing decision should be the same for an item. This consistency will reduce variance. However you may decide differently for different items.
Non Standard Expense Lot Based Jobs

s
Non Standard Expense Lot Based Jobs disable Estimated Scrap accounting whether or not Estimate Scrap accounting is enabled at the Inventory Organization level. Non Standard Expense Discrete Jobs are not earn Material Overhead on completion, and is not be revalued by standard cost update. Unlike Non Standard Expense Discrete Jobs, variances in Non Standard Expense Lot Based Jobs are not flushed out at period close. You can perform WIP lot transactions on non standard lot based jobs. The costing of these transactions is similar to that of standard lot based jobs.

There are seven types of WIP lot transactions available to lot based jobs including split, merge, update assembly, bonus, update routing, update quantity, and update lot number. WIP Lot Transaction can be done at the queue or to move intra-operation steps. However, it is not recommended that scrap transactions followed by WIP Lot transactions be performed at the queue intra-operation step.
7-7
Note: Performing scrap transactions in a separate operation
allows for more intuitive costing.
During a lots progression on the shop floor the following transactions have costing implications:
s
Lot Split Transactions Lot Merge Transaction Bonus Transactions Update Quantity Transactions
Lot Based charges include lot based resources, lot based departmental overheads, and resource based overheads based on lot based resources.
Lot Split Transactions

When you divide a single parent lot into multiple child lots, the actual costs of materials and resources issued to the parent lot (including lot based resources and overheads) are reallocated to the child lots, based on the quantity ratios. The actual costs (the net value remaining in the parent lot) are reallocated to the child lots on a sub-elemental basis. If the net value for any sub-element is negative, it is not reallocated to the child lots and is remain in the parent. At the time of a split, WIP Lot Spit transactions are created, that will adjust the WIP value of the parent lot and resulting lots with the appropriate balance. Consider a lot A of size 10 with material charges of $100, items based resource charges of $50, and lot based resource charges of $50. One item is scrapped, resulting in a relief of $20. The net balance in lot A is ($200 - $20) = $180. If this lot were split into lot B of size 4 and lot C of size 5, the net balance is proportionally reallocated to the child lots. The parent receive a credit of $180, and the children receive a debit based on the quantity ratio: Lot B receive a debit of (4/9) * $180 = $80 Lot C receive a debit of (5/9) * $180 = $100 The accounting entries are:

The estimated scrap absorption in the parent is reversed for the charge that has been reallocated to the child lots. Each child lot receive a debit for the additional cost due to operation yield based on the charge that has been reallocated to it. For the starting lot:
Account Debit Credit
Department Estimated XX Scrap Absorption Account WIP Valuation Estimated Scrap Accounts XX
For resulting lot:

Account WIP Valuation Estimated Estimated Scrap Account Department Estimated Scrap Absorption Accounts Debit XX XX Credit
Note: Cost incurred by the scrapped quantity remain in lot A.
Merge Lots
When combining several lots into a single existing lot, the cost of materials and resources is reallocated to the resulting lot. The cost is proportionately reallocated to the resulting lot, based on the costs incurred by the representative lot. The net value in the representative lot is reallocated to the resulting lot on a sub-element basis. If the net value for any sub-element is negative, it is not reallocated to the resulting lot and will remain in the parent.
7-9
The lot based charges are not proportioned and the resulting lot incur the same lot based charges as the representative lot. Lot based charges incurred by the non-representative lots are not charged to the resulting lot. Consider a lot A of size 10 with a material charge of $100, item based resource charges of $50. In addition, A has a charge of $100, which is incurred because component E was pushed to the lot. Consider a lot B of size 10 with a material charge of $100, item based source charges of $50, and lot based resource charges of $50. In addition, B has a charge of $200, which it incurred because a different component F was pushed to the lot. Merge lot A and B into a lot C of size 20. Choose A as the representative lot. Since A is the representative lot, all charges in C are based on charges incurred by lot A. Hence lot C will receive a debit of: [(20/10) * (item based charged)] + (lot based charges) = [(20/10) * ($250)] + ($50) = $550. Lot A receive a credit of: (10/20) * $500 +$50 = $300 Lot B receive a credit of: (10/20) * $500 = $250 The additional charges of $200 that was incurred by lot B, but not by lot A, remain in lot B. The lot based charges incurred by B is not charged to the resulting lot and remain in lot B. Lot B therefore have a net balance of $150. The accounting entries are:
Account WIP Valuation Accounts for resulting lot WIP Valuation Accounts for starting lots Debit XX XX Credit
The estimated scrap absorption in the starting lots are reversed for the charge that has been reallocated to the resulting lot. The resulting lot absorb the additional cost due to operation yield based on the charge that has been reallocated to it. For the starting lots:

For the resulting lot:

Bonus Lots
You can create bonus lots to perform operations on assemblies that were previously scrapped. The quantity starts in the intra-operation step of queue of the starting operation. Therefore, components at the starting operations are not automatically charged when the bonus lot is created. The standard cost of the assembly through the previous operation is credited to the bonus account. The account is often the scrap account. Operation yield is calculated for all previous operations, based on standards. Consider an assembly A with a component B ($10) and a resource R1 ($2) at operation 10. It also has a component C ($20) and a resource R2 ($1) at operation 20. Create a bonus lot, lot-A of size 10 at operation 20. The lot incur all charges in operation 10. Since the lot is at the intra-operation step of queue at operation 20, charges in operation 20 is not included in the bonus lot. Hence lot-A incur a charge of: 10 * $10 + 10 * $2 = $120. The accounting entries are:
Account WIP Valuation Accounts for bonus lots Bonus Account (user specified) Debit XX XX Credit
7-11
The bonus lot also receive a debit for the additional cost due to operation yield based on the charge that it has incurred.
Account WIP Valuation Estimated Scrap Account Bonus Account (user specified) Debit XX XX Credit
Update Quantity
You can increase the quantity remaining in a job using the update quantity transaction. Cost incurred by the job (except lot based cost) will be proportionately debited to the job, based on the new quantity and the net value remaining in the job. The net value remaining in the parent job is reallocated on a sub-elemental basis. If the net value for any sub-element is negative, it is not reallocated to the resulting lot. The lot based charges are not proportioned in the update lot. The credit is to the account specified while creating the update quantity transaction and is often the scrap account. Consider a lot A of size 10 with a material charge of $100, lot based resource charge of $50, and resource based overhead charges of $20 from overheads associated to the lot based resources. Update the quantity in lot A to 20. The cost incurred in the new lot is: [$100 * (20/10) + $50 + $20 = $270 The non-lot based charges of $100 are proportioned. The remaining lot based charges are not proportionate and remain in the job. Hence lot A receive a credit of $100. The accounting for the new charges to the job are:
Account WIP Valuation Account Bonus Account (user specified) Debit XX XX Credit
7-12
The updated lot also receive a debit for the additional cost due to operation yield based on the additional charge that it has occurred. The accounting entries are:
Account WIP Valuation Estimated Scrap Account Bonus Account (user specified) Debit XX XX Credit
Update Routing and Update Assembly

While performing update routing or update assembly transactions at the queue intra-operation step, if you have manual resources and overheads or push component on the current operation, you must manually reverse the charges.
Lot Based Transaction are Integrated into Cost Manager

All transactions for the lot based jobs, including WIP lot transactions, are costed by the cost manager. In the sequence in which they occurred. If costing fails for any of these transactions, all subsequent transactions for lot based jobs in that organization will be suspended until that error is corrected.
Transaction Import through MES

To correctly cost WIP lot transactions, it is essential to cost the transactions in a sequence. The cost manager sequentially cost all transactions based on the date on which they occurred. However, if a transaction with a prior date is imported through MES, there is a possibility that some subsequent WIP lot transactions on the job have already been costed. The WIP lot transactions are not reflex the late transactions. If this timing problem is significant, you can use the date cutoff feature to shut off the cost manager until all relevant transaction on the job have been imported. You can set the date cutoff to process for anytime range you wish. This way all transactions are correctly processed in sequence. See: Cost Manager, Oracle Cost Management Users Guide.
WIP Value Summary

You can use the WIP Value Summary window to view cost elements, if transaction related to the job have been costed. The estimated scrap cost incurred and relieved

is displayed in the Operation Yield tab. You can also drill down to the detailed accounting distributions that contributed to the WIP value.
Reports
The work in process reports enable you to view calculations of estimated scrap incurred, estimated scrap relieved, and estimated scrap variances on lot based jobs, in addition to the five cost elements (Material, Material Overhead, Resource, Overhead, Outside Processing). See: Discrete Job Value Report, Oracle Work in Process Users Guide. You can analyze these cost by work order, as well as track departmental performance using the discrete job value report.See: WIP Value Report, Oracle Work in Process Users Guide.

You can close lot based jobs using the Close Lot Based Jobs (Form) window or the Close Lot Based Jobs Submit Requests(SRS) window. The choice depends on your requirements. The Close Lot Based Jobs (Form) window enables you to:
s
Submit and process lot based job close requests Specify the actual close date, this can be different than the transaction date View the pending transaction summaries before closing Using summary form you can close multiple lot based jobs
The Close Lot Based Jobs Submit Requests window enables you to: Submit the concurrent request to close the lot based job. To use the request option, you need to specify the parameter using different criteria like set of jobs, release date, job status, actual close date. This provides the ability to close the multiple lot based jobs The business requirements for closing the lot based job using forms or reports are the same. You cannot close a job that has pending material, resource, or move transactions including those that the concurrent manager has not processed. Also you cannot close a job that has uncosted material transactions. Prior to closing lot based jobs, you can review job value information using the Job Value Report, which lists standard and non-standard asset jobs, or the Expense Job Value Report, which lists non-standard expense jobs. You can also see the summary of pending transaction while using Lot Based Jobs close using forms.

Glossary
A
alternate bill of material An alternate list of component items you can use to produce an assembly. alternate routing An alternate manufacturing process you can use to produce an assembly. assembly An item that has a bill of material. You can purchase or manufacture an assembly item. asset subinventory Subdivision of an organization, representing either a physical area or a logical grouping of items, such as a storeroom where quantity balances are maintained for all items and values are maintained for asset items.
B
bill of material A list of component items associated with a parent item and information about how each item relates to the parent item. Oracle Manufacturing supports standard, model, option class, and planning bills. The item information on a bill depends on the item type and bill type. The most common type of bill is a standard bill of material. A standard bill of material lists the components associated with a product or subassembly. It specifies the required quantity for each component plus other
Glossary-1
information to control work in process, material planning, and other Oracle Manufacturing functions. Also known as product structures.
C
cancelled job A discrete job you no longer want to work on. You cannot make transactions, move assemblies, or apply or update costs. child lot A lot created as the result of a lot split operation. closed job A discrete job that is unavailable for charges or any type of transaction. Closing a job calculates final costs and variances and creates history for the job. common inventory Items residing in inventory or work in process that are not identified to any project. completion locator An inventory location within a completion subinventory where you receive completed assemblies from work in process. complete charges The job is complete and charges are allowed. complete no charges The job is complete but charges are not allowed. completion subinventory An inventory location at the end of your production line where you receive completed assemblies from work in process. Often this is the supply subinventory for subassemblies or finished goods inventories for final assemblies. component yield The percent of the amount of a component you want to issue to build an assembly that actually becomes part of that assembly. Or, the amount of a component you require to build plus the amount of the component you lose or waste while building
Glossary-2
an assembly. For example, a yield factor of 0.90 means that only 90% of the usage quantity of the component on a bill actually becomes part of the finished assembly. co-product A product that is usually manufactured together or sequentially because of product or process similarities. In Oracle Shop Floor Management you can define an item as the primary component of several end items, and the expected distribution across all the end items. The bill of material of the end items are automatically created. cost transaction The financial effect of your material, resource, overhead, job, and period example, each material quantity transaction may have several cost accounting entries, and each accounting entry is a cost transaction. cost type A set of costs for items, activities, resources, outside processing, and overheads. You may have unlimited cost types for each organization, but only one is used to record cost transactions. The Frozen Standard cost type is used for standard costing; the Average Costs type is used for Average costing. Others could be defined for simulation or temporary purposes.
D
discrete job A production order for the manufacture of a specific (discrete) quantity of an assembly, using specific materials and resources, in a limited time. A discrete job collects the costs of production and allows you to report those costsincluding variancesby job. Also known as work order or assembly order. discrete manufacturing A manufacturing environment where you build assemblies in discrete jobs or batches. Different from a repetitive production environment where you build assemblies on production or assembly lines at a daily rate.
F
forward scheduling A scheduling technique where you specify a production start date and Oracle Manufacturing calculates a production end date using either detailed scheduling or repetitive line scheduling.
Glossary-3
flow routing A sequence of manufacturing events that you perform to manufacture an assembly. In the flow routing, these events can be grouped in processes and balanced operations. A routing consists of an item, a series of events, processes and/or operations, a operation sequences, operation effective dates, and a flow routing network. You can also perform operation time, yield and total product cycle time calculations in the flow routing. In Oracle Shop Floor Management a flow routing is the entire routing network. It consists of a series of nodes and paths which make up the routing network, and it is referenced by the Move Lot Based Jobs window to determine which operations a job can traverse.
I
intraoperation steps The particular phases within an operation. There are five intraoperation steps in Work in Process: Queue, Run, To Move, Reject, and Scrap.
J
job status An Oracle Manufacturing function that lets you describe various stages in the life cycle of a discrete job and control activities that you can perform on the job.
L
lot A quantity produced together and sharing the same production costs and specifications. lot based job In Oracle Shop Floor Management, a lot based job begins with any one of the possible routes and moves through a series of operations . At completion the lot is saved with a suffix assigned to the corresponding sub inventory allowing you to use the same job or lot number throughout the production process. lot based resource A resource whose usage quantity is the amount required per job or schedule.
Glossary-4
lot genealogy In Oracle Shop Floor Management you can view the historical production information of a lot including the sectors lot has moved, stocking locations, and transactions. lot merging In Oracle Shop Floor Management you can combine multiple lots into one resulting lot. The starting lots must be the same revision level for the item, attributes values, intraoperation step, department, and resources. lot sector In Oracle Shop Floor Management, a section of the entire flow of a lot, usually corresponding to the assembly of one bill level on a finished-goods bill of material. A lot sector is defined as a level of the bill, the primary component on that level, and the routing of that component. lot sector extension When using Oracle Shop Floor Management lot sectorswhen lots are completed the resulting lot designation is the original lot number, followed the Job Completion Separator value, followed by the lot sector extension. This value is defined in the Sector Extensions and Item/Subinventory Association window. lot splitting In Oracle Shop Floor Management you can divide a lot into one or more resulting lots that can have different resource, material requirements, and different operations.
M
material requirement An inventory item and quantity needed to build an assembly on a job or repetitive schedule. Discrete job and repetitive schedule material requirements are created based on the component items defined on the assemblys bill of materials. Issue transactions fulfill material requirements. move transaction A transaction to move assemblies from operation to operation or within an operation on a discrete job or repetitive schedule.
Glossary-5
N
network routing Network routings in Oracle Shop Floor Management comprise a collection of operations which include primary paths and alternate paths. You are able to define a separate routing for each item, at each sector. When you create routings in the Routings window, you define all possible paths.
O
operation A step in a manufacturing process where you perform work on, add value to, and consume department resources for an assembly. operation code A label that identifies a standard operation. operation jumps In Oracle Shop Floor Management you can jump or move to operations that are not sequential. operation sequence A number that orders operations in a routing relative to each other. operation yield The percentage of assemblies that move to the next operation in a routing. organization A business unit such as a plant, warehouse, division, department, and so on. Order Entry refers to organizations as warehouses on all Order Entry windows and reports. outside operation An operation that contains outside resources and possibly internal resources as well. outside processing Performing work on a discrete job or repetitive schedule using resources provided by a supplier.
Glossary-6
outside resource A resource provided by a supplier you include in your routings, such as supplier sourced labor or services. This includes both PO move and PO receipt resources.
P
parent lot The original lot that was split into multiple lots, or child lots. primary path A primary path of a network routing used in Oracle Shop Floor Management is the routing used most often in the routing network. When the routing is defined, the primary path is outlined for planning and costing purposes and the percentage it is likely to be used. All remaining paths are classified as alternate. A primary routing in Oracle Shop Floor Management can have a primary path and alternate paths primary routing A list of the operations you most frequently perform to build a product. The primary routing is the default routing for defining a job and calculating manufacturing lead times.
Q
quantity required The total quantity of a component item required to produce all the assemblies in a discrete job or repetitive schedule as determined by the usage quantity on the bill of materials, the production quantity, and the component yield. queue An intraoperation step in an operation where assemblies are waiting to be worked on. The default intraoperation step for every operation in a routing.
R
release date The date when you release a discrete job or repetitive schedule to the shop floor signifying that work can begin and the discrete job or repetitive schedule becomes transactable.
Glossary-7
reschedule To modify the schedule of a discrete job. You can reschedule a discrete job by changing the start date, completion date, job quantity or any operation date on the routing. Planning can automatically reschedule jobs that are not firm based on planning requirement changes. resource Anything of value, except material and cash, required to manufacture, cost, and schedule products. Resources include people, tools, machines, labor purchased from a supplier, and physical space. resource requirement A resource and quantity needed to build an assembly on a job or repetitive schedule. Discrete job and repetitive schedule resource requirements are created based on the resource requirements specified on the assemblys routing. Resource transactions fulfill resource requirements.
S
scrap An intraoperation step where you move assemblies that cannot be reworked or completed. scrap reversal Cost subtracted from the cost of the assembly due to actual scrap at the operation. Reversal ensures that the amount absorbed by the scrapped unit in the previous operations are reversed. shop floor status An Oracle Manufacturing function that lets you restrict movement of assemblies at an operation and intraoperation step within a discrete job or repetitive schedule. shrinkage Reduction of actual quantities of items in stock, in process, or in transit. The loss may be caused by scrap, theft, deterioration, or evaporation. standard operation A commonly used operation you can define as a template for use in defining future routing operations.
Glossary-8
start date The date you plan to begin production of assemblies in a discrete job. subassembly An assembly used as a component in a higher level assembly. subinventory Subdivision of an organization, representing either a physical area or a logical grouping of items, such as a storeroom or receiving dock. supplier Provider of goods or services. supply subinventory The subinventory you use as a primary source of supply to meet a specific material requirement in a discrete job or repetitive schedule. In Release 9, this is the backflush subinventory for pull material or the primary issue subinventory for push material.
T
transaction date The date you enter and Oracle Manufacturing maintains for any manufacturing transaction. The date must fall within an open accounting period and be greater than the release date for transactions on a discrete job or repetitive schedule.
U
unit of measure The unit that the quantity of an item is expressed. UOM See unit of measure.
Glossary-9
W
WIP accounting class A set of accounts that you use to charge the production of an assembly. You assign accounting classes to discrete jobs and repetitive schedules. Each accounting class includes distribution accounts and variance accounts. Also used in cost reporting. work in process An item in various phases of production in a manufacturing plant. This includes raw material awaiting processing up to final assemblies ready to be received into inventory.
Y
yielded costing Yielded costing in Oracle Shop Floor Management uses four components in its calculation including operation yield, expected scrap absorption, scrap reversal, and yield variance. Operation yield is expressed as percentage of good units of assembly completed by an operation. This reflects the expected fraction of
