Inventory Transactions Interface


When insert records into interface, consider these tables as appropriate:
MTL_TRANSACTIONS_INTERFACE MTL_TRANSACTION_LOTS_INTERFACE
MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS_INTERFACE
When there interface manager run, following tables shall be affected:
MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_TEMP MTL_TRANSACTION_LOTS_TEMP
MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS_TEMP
Consequently, transactions will be deleted after populating below transaction tables:
MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS MTL_TRANSACTION_LOT_NUMBERS
MTL_UNIT_TRANSACTIONS.

Interface trip stop


After shipping, Interface trip stop interfaces the transactions to inventory and then only the
on-hand goes down and reservation is cleared.

Outside Processing Setup Checklist


Outside processing in Oracle Work in Process allows users to substitute vendor labor for inhouse labor on a routing. The setup is long and complex. This paper provides a checklist of
how to define OSP resources in Oracle to help users avoid some of the more common
problems.
Overvi ew
The Outside Processing process comes into play in Oracle Work in Process whenever all or
part of the labor on a routing is performed by a third party vendor. More than one step on a
routing can be performed by third parties. In Oracle, a link has been defined between Oracle
Work in Process and Oracle Purchasing to automate the process of creating a purchase order
to the vendor who will perform the OSP labor.
Because what is being purchased is LABOR, one requirement to using this process is to
define a resource for each type of labor to be purchased. An item in the Item Master must
also be defined for each type of labor to be purchased, and linked to the resource when it is
defined. The item must be classified as an outside processing item.
Although this resource item is purchasable and transactable, it will never be received into
or issued from a subinventory. Instead, receiving this item from the purchase order will cause
a move transaction to occur on the WIP routing so that the outside operation step is
completed when the items are received back from the vendor. It is important to note that the
item must not only be received, but must also be delivered before the outside operation is
deemed complete by the system.
When a routing operation uses an outside processing resource, movement into that operation
step causes a purchase requisition to be generated for the labor resource to be purchased
from the vendor. Note that you are not purchasing the item (as you would a buy item), but
instead you are purchasing the vendors labor as a substitute for using your own in-house
resources to perform the labor. This is a subtle distinction, but it is necessary to understand
this distinction in order to understand the Oracle process.
This purchase requisition is then imported from WIP into Purchasing. At this point, the
requisition is available (if approved, but that is another issue) to be autocreated into a
purchase order. Or, if the buyer so chooses, the buyer may set up sourcing rules such that
importing an approved requisition automatically creates a release against a blanket purchase
order.
When the vendor returns the item, a receipt must be entered against the PO or release. The
item is delivered not to a subinventory, but back to the shop floor for continued processing
on the routing. If the outside processing step is the only step or the last step on the routing,
the finished assembly will be available to be received into inventory using a WIP completion
transaction.

Setup Steps
Inventory
1. REQUIRED. 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 (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.
Optionally enter a list price greater than zero this will be used as a default in the
PO (you could also set up a blanket PO with prices.)
Note: the item with the above attributes must be defined in the org which is the
Purchasing item validation organization as well as the actual production organization.
Check Purchasing > Setup > Organization > Purchasing Options to determine which
org has been defined as the validation organization.
2. OPTIONAL. In the Item Master Lead Times attributes region, enter appropriate lead
times. These will be used to automatically calculate the need by date for the
requisition generated for the OSP item. (This step is not required, but is nice to have.)
The need-by date will be automatically entered into the requisition generated by this
process, and hence into the PO.
Bill of Material Module
1. 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.
2. REQUIRED. Define a separate outside processing resource for EACH labor item.

Enter the item number defined above in the Item Master for the labor item.
Make sure the variance account defined for the labor resource is the same as the
Purchase price variance account defined in Parameters under Inventory setup. If
you check the Costed box and the Standard Costing box, you can enter a standard
value for this resource by clicking on the Rates button. Any difference between this
standard value and the actual purchase price (in a standard cost organization) will
be recorded in the Purchase Price Variance Account.
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 items Outside Processing Unit Type and the outside
resources basis. In all cases, Purchasing charges the job or repetitive schedule
using the extended quantity of the associated outside resource.
3. 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.

Pu rchasing
1. OPTIONAL. Create a blanket, and be certain to enter the line as an outside processing
line type. If your item is not set up correctly, the system will not allow you to
complete entry of the PO. Optionally, in the terms region of the PO, check the Supply
Agreement box. In Purchasing-Supply Base-AutoSource Rules, link the item with the
blanket PO document. Or if you are using enhanced sourcing rules in Release 10.7,
use the menu path Supplier Scheduling-Supply Base-Approved Supplier List to link
the approved supplier for the item with the blanket PO in the Attributes region. (Note:
Enhanced Sourcing Rules in 10.7 is controlled production and your client may not
have been approved for using it).
2. OPTIONAL BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 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.
3. If you are using Supply Chain Planning, there is another little gotcha. Your item could
have been set up with a make sourcing rule or bill of distribution in the default
assignment set. You can create another assignment set with a buy sourcing rule for
the outside processing items and link it to the responsibility of the person who will do
the requisition import.
4. REQUIRED. The person who initiates the move transaction in WIP must be defined
as an employee (in Purchasing or HR, depending on whether or not the HR Module is
fully installed) and linked to the persons user logon in the System Administration
module. WIP includes an employee name on the requisition it creates through this
process, and the employee name is linked to the move transactions that initiated the

requisition. Hence the name of the person who initiated the move transaction will
become the name of the requestor for the purchased vendor service.

Process
1. REQUIRED. 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.
2. REQUIRED. Run the Requisition Import process (Purchasing > Reports > Run >
Requisition Import).
3. REQUIRED. Create a purchase order from the routing. Or, if using blanket POs, run
the Create Release process (Purchasing > Reports > Run > Create Releases).
4. REQUIRED. Receive the purchase order (note: it must be DELIVERED as well as
received. Until the item has been delivered the next step will not happen.) You might
want to consider setting the receipt routing to Direct Delivery for such items in the
Purchasing section of the Item Master unless you require inspection of the item from
the vendor first.
5. 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 intraoperation 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 intraoperation 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.
6. 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.

MRP Process
MRP will generate a planned order for the make assembly. MRP does not directly generate
a requisition for the vendor labor to make the assembly. When the planned order is released
as a WIP job, normal processing of the WIP job will result in generation of the purchase
requisition for the vendor labor as per the process described above.

One Ti me WIP S etu p for OSP


There is a setup step which should be performed in WIP to prevent users from entering a
manual move transaction to the next step on the routing prior to entry of a PO receipt for the
OSP item. This need be done only one time and should be part of your WIP setup.

1. WIP > Move Transactions > Shop Floor Status > Shop Floor Status

Define a status called OSP - description Outside Processing and UNCHECK the
Allow Moves box.
2. WIP > Setup > Parameters > Move Transactions Tab

Enter the status created in Step 1 in the Shop Floor Status for PO Moves box.

After this setup has been done, no one will be able to do a move transaction to the next step
after the OSP operation until the PO receipt has been entered. This is important, because it
will prevent jobs from being closed prior to the PO receipt.
