Oracle Outside Processing

Overview of Outside Processing

• The competitive advantages of outside processing include:– using specialized supplier skills in manufacturing

process to help lower engineering and manufacturing costs and increase production quality

– using supplier capacity to temporarily or permanently increase overall production capacity

• Oracle Manufacturing allows to include supplier-sourced components and resources in manufacturing processes.




Outside Processing Items and Outside Resources

• Outside processing items represent supplier-sourced items, resources, and services included to build process

• Can define outside resources and associate them with these outside processing items. The outside resources are included on your routings for scheduling and costing purposes.

• Work in Process automatically sends requisitions for the outside processing items associated with outside resources when you perform move transactions on jobs or repetitive schedules with outside processed assemblies

• Purchasing charges outside resources to jobs or repetitive schedules when you receive the outside processing items




Setups in Inventory

• Define an item representing the outside processing vendor labor for Purchasing to place on the vendor PO. In the Item Master Purchasing Attributes region, make sure the following attributes are set correctly:– Purchased = Yes (required). – Purchasable = Yes (required). – Outside Processing Item = Yes (required) – Outside Processing Unit Type = Assembly or

Resource




Setups in Inventory

• Outside Processing Unit Type = Assembly or Resource (Assembly is recommended if a tangible item) If the item has an Outside Processing Unit Type of Assembly and the outside resource has a basis of Item, you receive one outside processing item for each assembly you receive. If the outside resource has a basis of Lot, you receive one outside processing item for each job or repetitive schedule. If the outside processing item has an Outside Processing Unit Type of Resource and the outside resource has a basis of Item, you receive the extended quantity (using the outside resource usage rate or amount) of the outside processing item for each assembly you receive. For example, if you purchase 3 hours of plating service for each assembly, (usage rate or amount is 3), then you receive a quantity of 3 hours for each assembly you receive from the supplier. If the outside resource has a basis of Lot, you receive 1 outside processing item extended by the outside resource usage rate or amount for each job or repetitive schedule.




Define OSP Item




Setups in Bills of Material

• REQUIRED: Define an Outside Processing Department. Enter the location where the outside processed item is to be delivered (example: “Shop Floor” or “Assembly”) as you define the Outside Processing Department. Note: the location must have been previously defined under Purchasing > Setup > Organizations > Locations.

• REQUIRED: Add the outside processing resource to a step on the routing. If it is added to the last step, then the item can be received into inventory as soon as the PO receipt is entered and the transaction managers run.




Setups in Bills of Material

• Make sure that the autocharge attribute is set to PO MOVE, not PO Receipt. If you set this attribute to PO MOVE, then the PO receipt automatically generates the WIP Move transaction from the outside processing operation to the next operation on the routing. If you use PO RECEIPT, you must manually perform the WIP Move transaction. The quantity of outside processing items you receive can relate to the assembly quantity on the job or repetitive schedule in several ways depending on the outside processing item’s Outside Processing Unit Type and the outside resource’s basis. In all cases, Purchasing charges the job or repetitive schedule using the extended quantity of the associated outside resource.

Enter Discrete Job

• Create a discrete job for the assembly. If the outside processing step is on the first step on the routing, releasing the job will trigger creation of the requisition. If the outside processing step is NOT the first step, then a move transaction must be performed using the Move Transaction window. Move the quantity to be processed by the outside vendor into the Queue step of the outside processing operation step. This triggers creation of the requisition

Requisition Import

• Now the job is in Queue step of operation 40, which is Out-Side Processing operation (OSP). As explained before at this point in time one requisition gets triggered for item assigned to resource of OSP operation.

• Requisition import program needs to be run to create requisition.

• Run program with Import Source= WIP

PO Details




PO Shipment Details

• In the PO line, set the over receipt tolerance for the item to zero so that no one can receive a quantity greater than on the PO. If a quantity greater than that in the work order is received, it will cause problems with the WIP move transaction to the next operation. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. There will be problems if more is received than is on the work order outside processing operation step. This is another reason to use a blanket PO

Receiving Transaction Summary




PO received and delivered

• Once the PO has been received and delivered, and the Move transaction manager has run, you can see that the discrete job has been updated and the item is now in the “To Move” intra-operation step of the outside processing operation step.

• Go to WIP > Job/Schedule Details > Operations and select the Quantity alternative region. You should see the received quantity in the To Move intra-operation step of the outside processing operation step.

• If the Move transaction has failed or has not yet run, you will see it in WIP > Move Transactions > Pending Transactions.

Completion Transactions

• If the step is the last step on the routing, do a WIP completion transaction into inventory. Otherwise, continue with the routing steps until complete
