New Bank Account Model provides a

single access point for defining and
maintaining internal bank accounts.
Ownership of each internal bank account
is granted to a Legal Entity. One or more
Organizations are granted usage rights to
a bank account.
Better control & Ease of Use: Centralized bank

account model helps in having reduced number of
bank accounts setup for use by applications &
organizations
Cash Pooling
Supports
common
cash
pooling
techniques by allowing users to group
bank accounts into different types of
pooling structures and by managing the
associated activity for either centralized or
decentralized business environments.
Optimize Funds and reduced costs of borrowing:

Cash pooling can be used to optimize funds by
consolidating bank balances from across multiple
bank accounts. With consolidating balances and
minimizing idle funds it increase overall investment
returns.
Bank Statement
Accounting
Allows users to define mapping rules that

can automatically create and reconcile
transactions.

Discrete Execution
Workstation for Shop
Floor Operator and
Supervisor
With the new Discrete Execution

Workstation, users will have deeper shop
floor execution capabilities through a
simplified user interface, this workstation
provides, all in one place, the information
needed for shop floor workers to perform
their work
Maximizing the value-added manufacturing time and

catering to customers requiring MES (Manufacturing
Execution System) like capabilities in Oracle Work in
Process.
Batch Import
Capability for Open
Interface for Bills of
Material
Users can segment the import data by

assigning a batch identifier and launching
the open interface using that identifier
This allows to break down large datasets and process

them concurrently.
Inverse Component
Usage
A new attribute is introduced in the BOM

definition form to support an inverse of
component quantity.
Storing the raw fractional quantity per assembly

prevents any undesirable component
usage variances to occur particularly in discrete jobs
with large build quantities.
108
9/29/16

Enhancement
Capability
Business Value
Include Component
Yield
Users now have the flexibility to control the

value of component yield factors at WIP
job level. The transaction logic now
considers pre-yield BOM quantity per
assembly rather than the quantity inflated
by shrinkage.
This enhancement eliminates the generation of

unrealizable decimal quantities in WIP jobs.
Material Control
Attribute Updates for
Common BOM
While retaining the common BOM

relationship, users can now update certain
component attributes at the organization
level.
Attributes like Operation sequence,WIP Supply type,

Sub inventory, Locator & and included in cost roll up
now can be changed to common bom at the org level
Fixed Component
Usage
Users can now define fixed component

usage regardless of the number of
assemblies that are manufactured through
a Discrete Job or a Work Orderless
transaction. This is achieved by defining
components with a basis as Lot in an
assemblys bill of material.
With this enhancement, customers can define and

use components whose consumption quantity does
not directly vary with the assembly quantity produced
109

Capability
Business Value
Serialized
Manufacturing
To improve product traceability and

genealogy, many production environments
require that an assembly serial number be
identified and associated with the product
at either the start of production, or at a
specific step within the production process
In the past, in-process serialized transactions were

supported only through Mobile Supply Chain
Applications. In this release, MES for Discrete
Manufacturing supports this functionality by allowing
operators) to retrieve work content information, easily
record component serial information and quality
results, and perform transactions
Shop Floor Device

and Test Equipment
Integration
This release will allow this device data to

be captured directly into a quality collection
plan associated with the move, scrap,
reject, complete and return assembly
transactions in the MES module.
This will facilitate more automated Quality data

collection
Electronic Records
and Signatures
(ERES)
ERES capabilities have been provided for

moves, completions, returns and
component material transactions
associated with the discrete jobs in the
MES workstation
Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures (ERES)

capability is required to support FDAs 21 CFR Part
11compliance for medical device manufacturers who
need to adhere to the functional requirements of the
quality system specified in 21 CFR Part 820

Capability
Business Value
Labor Skill Validation
MES for Discrete Manufacturing can check

for required skills for the operator who
performs the operation when the operator
clocks into a job operation or during critical
move transactions, such as move, scrap,
reject or return transactions
This leverages HRMS for defining competencies, skill

levels, certifications and qualifications, and
associating them with the employee.
Buy/Sell
Subcontracting
Buy/Sell Subcontracting is a business

practice where an Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) outsources the
complete manufacturing of an assembly to
a Manufacturing Partner (MP) and sells the
components (used to build the assembly)
to the MP.
Buy/Sell Subcontracting functionality helps you to

easily track and manage your outsourced
manufacturing activities with your partners.
Quality Workbench
Performance
Improvements
Retrieving quality results from collection

plans that either have a large number of
records or have complex parent child
collection plans and attachments linked to
the results.
The performance of the quality workbench (QWB) in

retrieval of quality results has been improved to
ensure a better user experience

these interfaces.
A business user can get complete and real-time

visibility into the overall health of the outsourced
manufacturing business using the rich user interface
powered by Endeca
Ability to Perform
Manufacturing
Execution without
any Dependency on
the ERP System)
An implementation option is now provided

using the Oracle Data Integrator, to run the
MES independently, in a standalone mode,
allowing shop floor personnel to report
transactions even when the ERP instance
is down.Transactions reported through
MES are synchronized later when the
backend ERP system is functional
Currently, MES works on top of Oracle WIP and

requires the Oracle E - Business Suite production
instance to be up and running for performing shop
floor transactions through MES. Due to this
dependency, shop floor personnel do not have a way
to report transactions through MES if ERP production
instance is temporarily unavailable due to bandwidth
issues
