which materials are used and how they flow from inventory to discrete jobs and repetitive schedules and from jobs and schedules to inventory. Description: http://www.oracleug.com/sites/default/files/users/oracleug/wip_100_0.png

When you create jobs and repetitive schedules that have bills of material, routings, or both, material requirements for the appropriate components are automatically created. These requirements (demands) are considered open until they are fulfilled. The MRP planning process and available to promise calculations include open requirements as demand but do not formally allocate them to their parent jobs and repetitive schedules. Open material requirements are satisfied when components are issued and backflushed. Material shortages occur when insufficient inventory exists to cover open requirements. The MRP planning process reports current and projected material shortages and develops a plan to satisfy those shortages. Negative Requirements/ByProduct Recovery You can use negative material requirements to recover byproducts or other reusable components. Negative requirements are supplied instead of consumed by jobs and schedules. For example, if you add negative material requirements to a nonstandard discrete job that is tracking the disassembly of a completed part, the job supplies component materials rather than consuming them. Negative requirements are considered supply by the MRP planning process. You can define negative requirement usage quantities when you assign components to bills of material in Oracle Bills of Material. Negative requirements can be assigned to lot, serial number, and lot and serial number controlled items. AvailabletoPromise Materials You can view availabletopromise (ATP) status of components as you define, simulate, and view discrete jobs and as you view repetitive schedules.

WIP Shortage Reporting The Discrete Job Shortage and Repetitive Schedule Shortage Reports list shortages or open requirements for jobs and repetitive schedules based on requirement date. You can optionally include quantities in nonnettable subinventories in the onhand quantities displayed on these reports. You can also use these report to view bulk and supplier component requirements. The View Material Requirements window can be used to view the requirements for a component across jobs and schedules. You can view quantities required and issued for each component. Material Control Process Diagram

Adding and Updating Material Requirements

You can add material requirements to discrete jobs and repetitive schedules with statuses of Unreleased, Released, On Hold, and Complete. Note: You can also add material requirements to jobs and schedules by issuing components not required by the job or schedule. To add or update material requirements Navigate to the Material Requirements window.

1.1 Select the Job or repetitive Line and Assembly. You can only select a discrete job or a repetitive line and assembly for a repetitive schedule if the job or schedule has a status of Unreleased, Released, On Hold, or Complete. 1.2. From the Main tabbed region of the Material Requirements region, select the Component to update or add. You can add items with Push, Assembly Pull, Operation Pull, Bulk, Phantom, and Supplier supply types. If you add Phantom items, their supply types are changed to Push. Supply types are also changed to Push if you add Assembly Pull items to jobs or schedules without bills of material. Similarly, if you add Operation Pull items to jobs or schedules without routings, their supply types are changed to Assembly Pull. In the case of nonstandard discrete jobs, you can add the primary assembly as a component. In other words, the job assembly requires itself. This is useful when you use nonstandard jobs to manage rework or disassembly. 2.1. If adding a component, select the Operation Sequence number. You can only add components at existing operations. The operation sequence identifies where the material is required. If you add a requirement to a job or schedule without a routing, the system displays 1 as the default operation sequence. This value cannot be updated. 2.2. In the Quantities tabbed region, enter the Per Assembly Quantity or the Required Quantity for the component. If you are adding a component, the per assembly quantity defaults to 1 and the required quantity is derived from the job or schedule quantity and displayed in the components primary UOM. It can be updated. If you update the per assembly quantity, the required quantity is automatically calculated. Conversely if you update the required quantity, the per assembly quantity calculated. You can enter a decimal value, such as 1.25, for both the per assembly and the required quantity. You can also enter a required or per assembly quantity of zero. 2.3. In the Supply tabbed region, select the Supply Type. When you add components, the supply type specified for the item in Oracle Inventory is normally defaulted. If the item does not have a supply type, the supply type defaults to Push. Supply type selection is restricted based on the type and makeup of the job or schedule. You cannot, for example, change the supply type of a Push component to Assembly Pull if the job or schedule

has no routing. 2.4. If the components supply type is Assembly Pull or Operation Pull, you must select the Supply Subinventory, and if required by the supply subinventory, the supply Locator. Description: http://www.oracleug.com/sites/default/files/users/oracleug/wip_104_0.png

2.5. Check the MRP Net check box to include material requirements as demand in the calculation of net requirements. If a negative quantity for a standard discrete job or repetitive schedule is entered, this check box is disabled. For non standardjobs with a negative quantity, the MRP check box is enabled. However, Oracle planning nets the negative requirement as supply rather than demand. When initially creating nonstandard discrete jobs, this flag is unchecked. You must manually mark the check box for components to be considered as demand by Oracle planning applications. Deleting Material Requirements You can delete material requirements from Unreleased discrete jobs and repetitive schedules. You cannot delete material requirements that have been issued even if their due quantity is 0. You cannot delete material requirements if any transactions gave been made for a particular component.

To delete material requirements: 1. Navigate to the Material Requirements window. 2. Select the Job or Line and Assembly. 3. If you select a line and assembly, choose the repetitive schedule by selecting the first unit start date of that schedule. If you have selected a discrete job, the system displays the scheduled start date of the job. 4. Choose the Find button to populate the Material Requirements region. 5. In the Material Requirements region, select the Component. 6. Choose Delete Record from the Edit Menu. 7. Save your work.
