Introduction to Work in
Process

Production Methods –Discrete
Discrete production records all production activities against
a discrete job. It represents a plan to produce a specific
quantity of an item on a specific date. All material issues
(Manual and Backflush), and all resource charges
(Automatic and Manual) are charged to a specific job
Discrete job can produce Assemble to Order (ATO) items
and Configure to Order (CTO) item.
Process

Production Methods –Repetitive
Repetitive production models high-volume production of
standard items over a period of time. Production is
recorded against a repetitive schedule that represents a
plan to produce an item at a given daily rate for a period of
time.
Process

Overview of Work in
Process
Following types of jobs and schedules can be used to support
specific manufacturing needs:
• Standard and Non-Standard Discrete Jobs
• Standard and Non-Standard Project Jobs
• Repetitive Schedules by Production Line/Assembly
• Final Assembly Orders
• Work order less completions
Overview of Manufacturing Support

Overview of Work in
Process
• Oracle Work In Process can be used to schedule
production resources and materials, to meet customer
delivery requirements and to maintain a smooth production
flow.
• Scheduling establishes expected dates and times for
material and resource requirements, as well as for the
supply availability of assemblies built on the jobs and
repetitive schedules.
Overview of Production Scheduling

Overview of Work in
Process
Production Scheduling includes:
• Loading/sequencing repetitive production by
assembly/production line.
• Scheduling start / stop times for jobs, operations and
resources to the minute.
• Scheduling fixed, variable and overlapping time elements.
• Forward, backward, manual and midpoint forward
rescheduling.
• Automatically updating the master schedule.
Overview of Production Scheduling (Cntd..)

Overview of Work in
Process
Work In Process uses two scheduling methods:
• Detailed Scheduling
• Repetitive Line Scheduling
Note: Oracle Work In Process only provides unconstrained
scheduling.
Overview of Production Scheduling (Cntd..)

Overview of Work in
Process
Oracle Work In Process gives the ability to control and
monitor the materials used for production and to view how
they flow from inventory to discrete jobs/schedules, and
from the discrete jobs/schedules to inventory.
Material transactions:
• Issue and Return Material to Inventory
• Back flush Material
• Replenish Material
Overview of Material Control

Overview of Work in
Process
While defining jobs and repetitive schedules,
Material can be controlled by:
• Combining bills of material with routings to create specific
material requirements.
• Specifying when and where materials are to be
issued or back flushed.
• Assigning Supply Types to control how materials are
supplied.
Overview of Material Control (Cntd.)

Overview of Work in
Process
Shop floor control helps manage the flow of production in a
plant leading to efficiencies that can lower costs and help to
meet the delivery commitments.
Shop floor control options:
• Move assemblies within operations.
• Load move transaction information from external systems.
• Define and assign shop floor statuses.
• Auto-create purchase requisitions for outside processing
operations .
• Rework problem assemblies.
• Scrap assemblies.
Overview of Shop Floor Control

Overview of Work in
Process
There are five available intra-operation steps.
• Queue: Default intra-operation step for every operation in a
routing
• Run: Assemblies which are ready to be worked on.
• To Move: Assemblies waiting to be picked up for next
operation.
• Reject: Rejected Assemblies
• Scrap: Scrapped Assemblies
Overview of Shop Floor Control (Cntd.)

Overview of Work in
Process
• Oracle Work In Process considers an assembly to have
completed an operation if the assembly is at To Move,
Reject, or Scrap steps.
• Oracle Work In Process considers an assembly to have not
completed an operation if the assembly is at Queue or Run
steps.
Overview of Shop Floor Control (Cntd.)

Overview of Work in
Process
• A resource can be assigned to each operation on a Work
In Process routing.
• A resource can be assigned manually, after
creating a job or can be added to the operation while
creating the routing.
• A resource resides within an operation, it can be a person,
a machine, tools, services, etc.
• There are three resource charge types:
-WIP Move
-Manual
-PO Move/PO Receipt
Overview of Resource Tracking

Overview of Work in
Process
Import transactions enables users to:
• Access real time and accurate information to increase
efficiency through out the fulfillment process.
• Key technology enablers
– Mobile Computing & Process Critical devices
– Wireless Networks
– Bar code Technology
Overview of Importing Transactions

Overview of Work in
Process
• Use WIP accounting classes to establish valuation and
variance accounts.
• Use Standard, Average or LIFO/FIFO costing.
• Cost standard and non-standard asset discrete production
by job.
• Cost jobs by project in Oracle Project Manufacturing
Costing.
• Cost and report repetitive and non-standard expense
production by period.
Overview of Work In Process Costing

Overview of Work in
Process
• Charge and report resource, outside processing, and
overhead costs by activity.
• Track repetitive production costs by assembly on a line/
individual repetitive schedule.
• Track and report costs through the various stages of
production.
• Period close costs are calculated when an accounting
period is closed.

WIP Parameters
 WIP parameters define modes of operation and default
values that affect Work in Process
WIP parameters can be used to define modes of operation
and assign default values for various
work in process functions.
 Only one set of WIP parameters can be defined per
organization.

WIP Parameters – Screen shots
(N) WIP > Set up > parameters
Determines which accounting
class is used as the default
if category default WIP
accounting classes are not set
up. Used to default in
Standard/non-standard Discrete
jobs & Work order-less
completions
Determines how lot numbers are
assigned to discrete jobs. Options are
job name & based on inventory rules
Determines whether the
WIP jobs respond to Sales
order changes .Options
are Always/never /When
linked 1 to 1 (ATO)

Determines how resource costs
are determined as assemblies are
completed from jobs into inventory.
System Calculated : resources
can be costed at either the actual
resource costs or at resource
predefined cost depending on the
System Option parameter . For
assemblies from a non standard
job with no routing, the resource
rate from the Average Rates cost
type is used.
User Defined: you must choose a
user–defined cost type using the
Cost Type Parameter. This cost
type is then used to determine the
resource cost for the assemblies
being completed.
Used only when ‘system calculated’ option is
selected.
Use Actual Resources: Resources costs are
determined based on the actual costs charged to
the job.
Use Predefined Resources: Resources costs are
determined using the predefined resource cost.
Determines
whether the Final
Completion in the
Completion
Transaction
window defaults
o checked
Applicable only for average costing
organizations

Determines which repetitive
schedule variances are posted to
the general ledger when an
accounting period is closed.
Determines the time
period within which the
system automatically
releases the next
Unreleased schedule.

Determines whether a scrap account is required when
you use the Move Transactions window to move job
and repetitive assemblies into and out of the Scrap
intra-operation step of an operation. also determines
how scrap transactions are processed.
Determines whether you
can or cannot add an
operation to a discrete
job work in process routing
during a move transaction.
Determines whether moves are
disallowed if an intra-operation step
that disallows moves exists at an auto
charge operation and
Intra-operation step between the From
and To operations or at
intervening intra-operation step at the
From and To operations if they
are direct charge.

Determines which supply subinventory and, if
required by the subinventory, locator are used when
back flushing Operation Pull and Assembly Pull
components that do not have defaults defined at
the bill of material/item level
Determines how lot controlled
Assembly Pull and Component
Pull component items are
selected during back-flush
transactions. Not used for
lot/serial controlled items
Determines how lots that are
automatically selected, based on
whether
the Lot Selection Method parameter
is set to Receipt Date or Expiration
Date, are verified during back-flush
transactions.

Determines which intra-operation steps are enabled in WIP routing
operations. The options are Queue, Run, To Move, Reject and Scrap.
The Queue intra-operation step is automatically enabled for all
operations and cannot be disabled. The To Move intra-operation step,
even if disabled here, is automatically enabled for the final operations
in routings so that assemblies can be completed into inventory.

Determines which shop floor status is assigned to the
Queue intra-operation step of an outside processing
operation when you create discrete jobs and repetitive
schedules. This status ensures that assembly moves
from an outside processing resource operation can only
be launched by the receipt of a purchase order in Oracle
Purchasing.
Determines whether purchase
requisitions are created for
outside
processing operations
automatically or manually, and
when in the
manufacturing process they are
created

WIP Accounting Classes
Accounting classes are assigned when jobs are defined
and when repetitive assemblies are
associated with production lines.
Any number of WIP Accounting Classes can be defined
and updated.
The valuation and variance accounts that are associated
with these accounting classes determine which accounts are
charged.

WIP Accounting Classes – Screen shots
(N) WIP > Set up > WIP accounting classes

Standard Discrete Accounting Class
 An accounting class must be assigned to every
discrete job, schedule and work order-less completion
 Accounting classes can be defined for each type of
discrete production used:
– Standard Discrete
– Asset Non-Standard Discrete
– Expense Non-Standard Discrete
– Flow Manufacturing

Expense Non-Standard Discrete Accounting Class
Non-Standard Discrete Accounting classes can be
used to group and report various types of non-standard
production costs. Example: To track recurring expenses
-- machine maintenance or projects with non-standard
jobs.
The valuation accounts carry the costs incurred on
these expense jobs as an asset during the period and
automatically write them off to variance accounts at
period close.

Asset Non-Standard Discrete Accounting Class
If non-standard discrete jobs are used to track
production costs as assets, an accounting class with a
type of asset non-standard can be assigned .
 Asset non-standard discrete jobs are costed the same
as standard discrete jobs.

Repetitive Accounting Class
These are used to group production costs and must be
assigned to each repetitive line/assembly association
that is created. Every schedule for that assembly on
that line uses these accounts.
Repetitive manufacturing costs can be analyzed by
assembly regardless of the line on which it was
manufactured by using the same accounting class for
all lines that build that assembly.

WIP Accounting Class -Accounts
Material Valuation Account
This is an asset account and tracks material costs.
Under Standard Costing, it is debited at std cost at
material issue to a job/schedule and credited when
assemblies are completed, close a job/accounting
period.
Under Average Costing, this account is debited
at the average cost at the time of issue transaction and
is credited at assembly completion.

WIP Accounting Class
Material Overhead Valuation Account
This tracks material overhead costs.
Under Std Costing, it is debited at std cost at material
issue with a overhead to a job. Under average costing,
this account is debited at the average cost at the time of
the issue transaction.
When assemblies are completed and material
overhead is earned, the material overhead account for
the completion sub-inventory is debited.

Resource Valuation Account
This tracks resource costs.
Under Standard Costing, it is debited at std cost when
resources are charged to a job/schedule and credited
on completion of assembly.
Under Average Costing, this account is debited and
credited at the resource rate at the time the resource is
charged.

Outside Processing Valuation Account
This tracks outside processing costs.
Under Standard Costing, it is debited at standard or
PO cost when items are received for a job/schedule and
credited at standard cost on completion of assembly.
Under Average Costing, the behavior is the same as in
Standard Costing.

Overhead Valuation Account
This is an asset account and tracks resource or
department overhead cost.

Material Variance Account
This account tracks variances that occur when the
previous level material costs charged to the job or
schedule do not equal the previous level material costs
that are relieved.
This calculation gives you a net material usage and
configuration variance.

Resource Variance Account
This account tracks variances that occur when the this
level resource costs charged to the job or schedule do
not equal the this level resource costs that are relieved.
Outside Processing Variance Account
 This account tracks the variances that are occur when
the outside processing costs charged to the job or
schedule do not equal the outside processing costs that
are relieved.

Overhead Variance Account
This account tracks the variances that are occur when the
overhead costs charged to the job or schedule do not equal
the overhead costs relieved from the job or schedule.
Standard Cost Variance Account
Applies only to Standard Discrete and Asset Non-
Standard. It’s charged for the sum of all the elemental
standard cost adjustments when standard cost update
impacts an active job.
Cost updates are not performed for repetitive schedules or
expense non–standard jobs.

Expense Variance Account
Normally an expense account, this account is debited and
credited when issuing and completing non–standard
expense jobs under both standard and average costing.

Shop Floor Statuses
Move transactions are controlled by assigning Shop Floor
Statuses to intra-operation steps on the work in process
routing. For example a “Hold for Quality Check” status can
be assigned to an intra-operation step before moving to the
next assembly step.
Shop Floor Statuses can be assigned to any Intra operation
step associated with a job/repetitive line/assembly.

Shop Floor Statuses
(N) WIP > Move Transactions > Shop Floor Statuses >
Shop floor status

Schedule Groups
Flow schedules and discrete jobs can be assigned to the
schedule groups defined.
Jobs and flow schedules within a given schedule
group can be sequenced.
Sequencing jobs and flow schedules within a schedule
group makes it possible to prioritize, for example, by
customer.
Schedule groups can be updated.
Schedule groups that are assigned to jobs and flow
schedules cannot be deleted.

Schedule Groups
(N) WIP > Setup > Schedule Group

Labor Rates
 Used for defining hourly labor raters to reflect the actual
labor rates.
The effective date of the hourly labor rates can be added,
deleted, and updated for person-type resources
(employees).
Multiple hourly labor rates can be defined for the
same employee, as long as each rate has a
different effective date.

Labor Rates

Production Lines
A production line describes a unique set of
operations, departments, and/or manufacturing
cells that produce one or more of products.
Production lines can be associated with repetitive
assemblies, discrete jobs, flow routings, schedules, and
work order-less completions.
Production lines can be defined and updated but cannot be
deleted.

Bill Revision allows
you to select any valid
version of the bill of
material
you want to use to
determine the material
requirements for the
job

You can view material
requirements and
operations from the
Discrete Jobs window
as you define and
update jobs

Creating Components
When a job is defined , WIP copies the assembly bill created
in BOM. It then creates material requirements for the copied
bill of material components. Supply types can be used to
control how to supply the components for the material
requirements on the job.

When you click the Components
button on the ‘discrete jobs’ form,
the Material Requirements window
is displayed with the component
information. Here you can view
each component’s Main, Quantity,
Supply, Comment, and ATP
information. For those
components with ATP rules, you
can perform an ATP check from
this window

NAME DESCRIPTION
Based on bill Component requirements with supply types from BOM or
those on the Item Master are defaulted when a job is defined.
Assembly Pull Assembly pull components are issued to the job when the assembly
is completed into inventory.
Bulk These components are not transacted automatically in a job.
Operation Pull Operation pull components are issued to the job when the operation
is completed.
Push Material is issued manually before consumption
Vendor Vendor supplies material directly to WIP
WIP Supply Types
Supply types are defined in the bill of material. If the supply
type is changed on discrete job, it overrides the supply types
for all the components on that job.

WIP Supply Types
For Phantom supply type , Phantom subassemblies are
exploded and their components become material
requirements.
Following BOM parameters to control the inheritance of a
parent phantom’s operation sequence and whether or not
resources and overheads on phantom routings are recognized
for costing and capacity planning purposes.
Use Phantom Routings
Inherit Phantom Inherit Phantom Operation Sequence

Creating Operations
When a job is defined , operations and resource
requirements are created based on the assembly
routing.
The routing created in BOM is copied to
become a work in process routing that can be
modified without affecting the BOM routing.
Dates and times for the operations, resource
requirements, and material requirements needed to
build the job can be scheduled using detailed
scheduling.

When you click the
Operations button, the
Operations window is
displayed. Here you can
view each operation’s Main,
Quantities, Dates, and
Description. Also, from this
window, you can display
the resource requirements
for a selected operation.

Update Discrete Job Data
In a discrete job, following information can be updated:
 Header information, based on the job status
 Routing information
 Bill information
 Sales order information
 Job operations
 Job requirements
Note: If the profile option WIP: Job Name Updatable is
set to No, the name of the existing job cannot be updated .

Update/Delete Discrete Job Operations
An operation from a discrete job can be updated /deleted if:
 There are no assemblies at the operation.
 No assemblies have been completed at the operation.
 There are no pending transactions in the open move
interface table.
 No resources at the operation have been charged.
There are no pending transactions in the open resource
interface
If an operation is deleted , WIP reassigns its material
requirements to the first operation in the routing, or to
operation sequence 1 if there are no operations in the routing.

Update/Delete Resources
A resource requirement from a discrete job can be deleted if:
That resource has not been charged to the operation.
There are no pending transactions in the open resource
interface table.

Features of Nonstandard Jobs
Assign any predefined bill/routing of material to a
nonstandard job.
Specify an assembly on a nonstandard job.
Include a job quantity on a nonstandard job.
Add the same assembly which is being built as a material
requirement on the job’s bill of material.
Use expense costing to periodically write nonstandard
production costs to expense accounts
Define the WIP accounting class as an asset or as an
expense to the job.

Scheduling Discrete Jobs
Business Needs
Planning material and resources quickly and accurately
Establishing appropriate planning time fences for products
Creating purchase orders for material accounting for
vendor lead time
Scheduling material to arrive at the operation where it is
consumed
Scheduling each resource at the operation where it is
consumed
Promising accurate product shipment dates
•
Scheduling Jobs

Oracle Manufacturing supports two scheduling
methods for discrete production: dynamic lead-time
offsetting and detailed scheduling.
Dynamic Lead-Time Offsetting:
Estimating the start date of an order, an operation, or a
resource based on order quantity, lead times, and the
workday calendar.
Scheduling Methods:

Detailed scheduling:
 Jobs are scheduled to the minute based on detailed
resource availability and usages.
 Oracle Bills of Material calculates manufacturing lead
times using detailed scheduling.
 Detailed scheduling is the most precise method in Oracle
Manufacturing.
Scheduling Methods:

Preprocessing lead time: The time required to release a
purchase order or a job from the time the requirement is
known.
Post processing lead time: The time to make a purchased
item available in inventory from the time it’s received.
Processing lead time: The time required to procure or
manufacture an item. Processing lead time includes the
fixed and variable portions of lead times.
Lead Time Elements

Cumulative manufacturing lead time: Total time required to
make an item if all raw materials are in stock but all
subassemblies will have to be made level by level; Oracle
Bills of Material automatically calculates this value.
Cumulative total lead time: Total time required to make an
item if no inventory existed and all the raw materials and
make all subassemblies will have to be ordered level by
level; Oracle Bills of Material automatically calculates this
value.
Lead Time Elements

Processing Lead time:
Oracle Bills of Material computes the fixed and variable
portions of processing lead time using routings and detailed
scheduling.
Fixed lead time: That portion of time required to build an
assembly that is independent of order quantity—for
example, setup or teardown.
Variable lead time: That time required to produce one
additional unit of an assembly.
These lead times are used by Oracle Manufacturing in
dynamic lead-time offset calculations
Lead Time Elements

Calculating Processing Lead Time for Manufactured Items:
The algorithm schedules one discrete job for a quantity of
zero (fixed lead time) and a second discrete job for the lead-
time lot-size quantity (variable lead time).
When computing processing lead time, all calendar days are
considered as workdays, regardless of days off or workday
exceptions.
Lead Time Elements

Business Needs
Detailed scheduling is a method of scheduling production that
considers minute-to-minute resource availability information as
well as exact routing resource requirements
Job completion dates and times for assembly supply availability
Job start dates and times for job release
Operation starts and completion dates and times .
Operation start dates and times for component demand
requirements
Resource load information for capacity planning
Detailed Scheduling

Resource requirement: The amount of a resource that is
required to perform an activity in a routing of a job.
Resource availability: The availability of a resource, taking
into account the manufacturing calendar, including workday
exceptions, shifts, and shift exceptions.
Critical path: The sequence of resources in the routing of a
job that are used to schedule the job.
Overlap: A situation in which two or more scheduled
resources can operate at the same time. This can be in one
operation or across consecutive operations.
Detailed Scheduling: Key Terms

All resources that have the Scheduled attribute set to Yes,
Prior, or Next must have a time-based unit of measure.
All resources that have a unit of measure that is not time-
based, such as U.S. dollars, kilograms, or gallons, must
have the Scheduled attribute set to No.
Oracle Capacity performs resource load analysis only for
resources with a time-based unit of measure.

Repetitive Schedule Elements
Daily Quantity: The number of completed assemblies that
are planned to be produced each day. The daily rate can be
any positive number/decimals.
Days: The planned number of working days, from the first
unit start date to the last unit start date. The processing days
can be any positive number/decimals.
Total Quantity: The number of completed assemblies that
are planned to be produced.
Note: If you enter any two of the three values, the
third one is automatically computed.

Repetitive Schedule Dates
First Unit Start Date (FUSD): The date and time to begin
production of the first assembly on a repetitive schedule.
Equal to start of lead time
First Unit Completion Date (FUCD): The date and time to
complete production of the first assembly on a
repetitive schedule. Equal to FUSD plus the lead time
Last Unit Start Date (LUSD): The date and time to begin
production of the last assembly on a repetitive schedule
Calculated based on the FUSD, repetitive processing days,

Scheduling Repetitive production
• Optimized use of line capacity
• Effectively sequenced repetitive production
• Time-phase repetitive component demand and
assembly availability
Business needs:

• Minimum rate: The minimum number of completed
assemblies a production line can produce per hour.
• Maximum rate: The maximum number of completed
assemblies a production line can produce per hour.
• Line lead time: Time required to complete the 1st
assembly on a production line starting from the 1st
operation to completion into inventory.
• Hourly production rate: The rate at which the
production line can assemble items.
Elements of Repetitive Line Scheduling

• Line start time: The time a production line starts
running every day. The line start time is used to
schedule repetitive schedules on a line.
• Line stop time: The time a production line stops
running every day. The line stop time is used to
schedule repetitive schedules on a line.
• Daily line capacity: The daily production rate of
assemblies on a production line. This is equal to the
hourly production rate times the line production hours.

• Daily rate: The number of completed assemblies a
repetitive schedule plans to produce per day. Also
known as a production rate.
• Repetitive processing days: The number of days you
plan to work on a repetitive schedule, from the first
unit start date to the last unit start date.

• Daily quantity is used to specify how many
assemblies per day to build
• Days are used to specify for how many days
an assembly is to be produced at the specified rate
• Line minimum and maximum daily rate can be used
as a guideline for the daily quantity of schedule
Repetitive Line Scheduling

• Can specify to the minute the start and completion dates
and times of your repetitive schedule
• Can schedule to the minute each day the operations and
resources of the schedule.
• Can schedule all the requirements based on operation
dates each day of the schedule.
• Must enter either the first unit start date and time and the
first unit completion date and time, or the last unit start date
and time and the last unit completion date and time, in
order to define the lead time for a routing less assembly
running on a routing-based line.

The top horizontal line
indicates the constant
hourly production rate
that was defined for the
line for this assembly.
Schedule production
hours =
quantity per day/ hourly
production rate.

Each shaded area
represents the quantity
produced (the daily
rate) in a day.
The un shaded area
represents idle time for
this assembly on this
line.
The total quantity for
the schedule is
processing days times
daily rate i.e.. the sum
of all the shaded
areas.

Repetitive schedules based on suggestions from
Oracle Planning or any other planning system can
be defined.
Schedules are loaded into Oracle WIP with a status
of Pending—Mass Loaded due to following reasons:
-MRP does not consider existing schedules.
Implementing these schedules without looking at existing ones
can result in overproduction.
-MRP-suggested schedules may overlap with existing
schedules, which is not allowed.

Not allowing overlap
enables WIP to perform
flow charging for
(Flow charging is when
a repetitive assembly
and line is charged
rather than a specific
job. It is based on FIFO.

Work In Process Flow -Definitions
Types of Material Transactions
Issue transaction is a material transaction to issue
component items from inventory to work in process.
Replenishment transaction is a material transaction to
stage components in advance of backflushing.
Return transaction is a material transaction to return
components from WIP back to inventory. Return
transactions increase WIP material requirements, inventory
balances, and valuation, and decrease WIP valuation.

Moves and Resources
Material issue transactions fulfill WIP material
requirements on jobs or schedules. These reduce inventory
balances and valuation & incur WIP costs and increase
WIP valuation.
Supply types are used to control how components are
supplied to fulfill material requirements.
Push issue transaction is a material transaction to issue
component items from inventory to work in process before
you manufacture the assembly.

Moves and Resources
Backflush transaction is a material transaction that
automatically issues component items into work in process
from inventory when you move or complete the assembly. A
backflush transaction is also known as post–deduct or pull.

Moves and Resources
Move Transactions
Move transactions move assemblies from any operation on the
routing to any other operation. Moves normally follow the
sequence as per routing.
Move Transactions can initiate other transactions
- Backflush issue transactions for components with supply type
Operation Pull
- Automatic resource transactions for resources with autocharge
type WIP Move
- Overhead transactions for overheads with basis type Item or Lot

Moves and Resources
Move Transactions
Intraoperation moves are assembly moves within an operation.
Intraoperation steps are phases within an operation used to
track assembly locations in detail. The steps are Queue, Run,
To Move, Reject, and Scrap.
Operation completions occur when quantities move into to
move, reject, or scrap.
Interoperation moves are assembly moves from one operation
to another in a routing.

Moves and Resources

Backflush transactions.
It’s advisable that
the Backflush flag
of the last
operation
on a routing
always be set to
Yes, to make sure
that all
components are
issued.

Moves and Resources
Backward Move Transactions
Backward move is used to correct a mistake or to perform
additional work at a previous operation. An operation can be
uncompleted by reversing any of the moves that constitute
operation completion
When an operation is uncompleted, system automatically
reverses any backflushing transactions that have taken place
during the forward move.
On uncompletion, system automatically reverses WIP move
resource charges. Automatic resource charges for Lot-based
resources are reversed when all assemblies have been
uncompleted at the operation.

Move-Based Overheads
Upon completion of an operation, system automatically
charges move-based overheads. Move based overheads are
overheads that have a default basis of Item or Lot. Upon
uncompletion, overhead charges are reversed. For Lot-based
overheads, charges are reversed when all assemblies have
been uncompleted at the operation.
Overhead Charging

Moves and Resources
Resource-Based Overheads
If the operation completion move resulted in automatic
resource charges for WIP Move resources, and these
resources have associated overheads, the overheads will be
charged when the resource is charged. Therefore, a move
transaction that completes an operation can result indirectly in
resource-based overhead charges. Resource-based overhead
charges are reversed when the resource transaction is
reversed.

Definitions:
• Reject is an intraoperation step in an operation at which
assemblies that require rework or need to be scrapped are
recorded.
• Scrap is an intraoperation step at which assemblies that
cannot be reworked or completed are moved.
• Scrap account is an account used to charge scrap
transactions.
Managing Rejected Assemblies

Moves and Resources
There are five ways to manage rejected assemblies in WIP
• Move rejected assemblies to Reject.
• Scrap rejected assemblies.
• Add rework operation.
• Inline rework.
• Rework in a nonstandard job.

Moves and Resources
Move rejected assemblies to Reject.
• Rejected assemblies can be moved to the Reject
intraoperation step to possibly rework them at that operation or
later move them to Scrap.
Benefits
• Isolates questionable assemblies.
• Works well if there is space near the work center to
temporarily store the
• questionable assemblies (same operation, same department).
• Option to scrap or recover the questionable assemblies.

Moves and Resources
Scrapping Rejected Assemblies
• Assemblies that cannot be recovered can be moved to the
Scrap intraoperation step.
Benefits
• Isolates material.
• Deducts from MRP supply on standard discrete jobs.
• Offers the option to write off scrap immediately instead of
waiting for the job close (standard discrete/nonstandard asset
jobs) or period close (repetitive/nonstandard expense jobs).
• Offers the option to undo the transaction later if necessary.

Moves and Resources
Reworking Rejected Assemblies
• rejected assemblies can be reworked directly in the job by
adding a rework operation in the WIP routing.
Benefits
• Use predefined rework operations for repeatable rework
activities.
• Add the rework operation when necessary.
• Easily charge incremental material, resource, and overhead
costs at rework operation.

Moves and Resources
Inline Rework
• Can use a routing with a rework operation and rework rejected
assemblies directly in the job/schedule. This is a std operation
with a Count point No and the resources charge type Manual.
Benefits
• Allows to predefine & use the rework operation on the routing
when rework is anticipated.
• Rework can be performed on a repetitive production line
(Previous option applies only to discrete jobs as operations can’t
be added to a repetitive routing).
• Can easily charge incremental material/resource/overhead at
rework operation.

Moves and Resources
Using a Nonstandard Job to Rework Assemblies
• Can rework rejected assemblies currently in an MRB
subinventory using a nonstandard job.
• Optionally you can store the assemblies in that subinventory
until you are ready to rework them.
Benefits
• Standardization of Process
• Can use a separate Accounting class to track such orders

Moves and Resources
Charging Resources
Resource is a thing of value, except material and cash, that is
required to manufacture, cost, and schedule products.
Resources include people, tools, machines, services purchased
from a vendor, and physical space.
Resource basis is the basis for resource usage quantity that
indicates whether that quantity is required per item or per lot.
Lot-based resources are resources whose usage quantity
represents the amount required per job or schedule. For
example, it could be setup time for a machine.

Moves and Resources
Charging Resources
Item-based resources are resources whose usage quantity
represents the amount required per assembly you make. For
example, it could be the amount of time required to process
each assembly at an operation for the job.
Resource transaction is a transaction where resource costs
are charged to a discrete job or repetitive schedule. Transacting
a resource is synonymous with charging a resource.

Moves and Resources
Charging Resources
WIP Move Resource : A WIP move resource is a resource that
is automatically charged to a discrete job or repetitive schedule
by a move transaction that completes an operation. The
autocharge type for this type of resource is WIP Move.
Manual Resource: A manual resource is a resource that you
manually charge to a discrete job or repetitive schedule. The
autocharge type for this type of resource is Manual.

WIP move resources with a basis type of Lot are charged upon
completion of the first assembly at the operation the resource is
tied to.

Moves and Resources

Reversing Resource Charges
If an uncompletion is performed, system automatically reverses
any resource charges associated with the completion for WIP

If a WIP move resource has a basis type of Lot, system
reverses the resource charges only if all assemblies are
uncompleted at the operation.

Moves and Resources
Charging Multiple Schedules
Flow charging is a repetitive transaction method in which
system charges material, move, resource, and overhead
transactions to a specific assembly on a line rather than a
specific repetitive schedule.
If more than one schedule has a status that allows charges,
user can perform transactions against the consolidated sum of all
the schedules.
For example, if there are three schedules for 100 units each
with status Released for the same assembly and line
combination, up to 300 units could be moved with one
transaction.

Moves and Resources
Advantages of Flow Charging
Flow charging means that shop floor data entry can be performed
by charging against the assembly and line.
Flow charging means that all transactions against an assembly
on a line can be batched and then enter all of them in one
transaction.
Flow charging supports the idea of a schedule being less of an
individual entity than a discrete job is. As long as two schedules
build the same assembly on the same line, system does not
distinguish between them for transaction purposes.

Moves and Resources
Repetitive Allocation
Repetitive allocation is a system technique for applying
transaction quantities and costs across several repetitive
schedules that are building the same repetitive assembly on the
same line.
The repetitive allocation algorithm allows the system to allocate
the transactions that were flow charged to particular schedules.

Costing Labor Charges at Actual
For labor charges using an actual or employee rate for a resource
with the Standard Rate check box clear, the job or schedule is
debited at the actual or employee rate. The employee rate used
needs to be set up at the organization level. The absorption
account is credited at the same rate. The variance between actual
and standard is captured at the time of accounting close.

Weighted Average costing
Material can be charged to WIP at average cost.
Resources can be charged to WIP at actual or average cost.
Outside processing resources can be defined under average

Complete Discrete Jobs
and Repetitive Schedules
Completing Jobs
Definitions
Assembly completion transaction is a material transaction in which
assemblies are received into inventory from a job or repetitive
assembly/line upon completion of the manufacture of the
assembly.
Completion subinventory is an inventory location at the end of
production line or shop floor routing where completed assemblies
from work in process are received . This is often the supply
subinventory for subassemblies or finished goods inventories for
final assemblies.

Completing Jobs
Completion Transaction Process
The finished assemblies are received into inventory, either to be
used as subassemblies or to be shipped as finished goods.
All Assembly Pull material attached on the bill is backflushed.
The quantity in the To Move step of the last operation is
decreased, if there is a routing.
The Quantity Complete on the job or repetitive schedule is
increased.

Completing Jobs
Completion Transaction Process
If the quantity completed equals the total quantity for a schedule,
and there are other active schedules following it on the
assembly/line, the schedule’s status is changed to Complete—No
Charges. If the schedule is the last active schedule, its status is
changed to Complete.
Job and repetitive schedule statuses are automatically updated
to Complete when the total number of assemblies completed and
scrapped on a job or repetitive schedule is greater than or equal
to the required quantity.

Completion Transactions
Complete assemblies from jobs and repetitive schedules into
inventory
Return completed assemblies from inventory to jobs and
repetitive schedules
over-complete assemblies

Reasons to Return Assemblies to WIP
• User want to perform additional processing.
• User found a quality problem.
• User mistakenly completed unfinished assemblies to
inventory.
• User performing a disassembly using a nonstandard job.
Returning Assemblies from Inventory to WIP

Return Characteristics
• User can return assemblies from inventory to WIP by
selecting Return as the transaction type.
• User can return as many assemblies as needed.
• Any assembly pull components that were backflushed
upon completion are unbackflushed; that is, they are
returned to inventory when you return the assembly to
work in process.

Costing Completion Transactions

• Items can be costed at a weighted average perpetual cost.
• Completions are valued using the sum of the actual costs of
resources and materials issued to a job
• Partial completions are valued using the appropriate
proportional sum of actual resource and materials issued to
a job
• Final completions are valued using the total net value in a
job
• The unit cost of a completion is computed elementally

Roll forward Rules
• When all assemblies of a schedule are completed, WIP
checks the schedule for any excess components resulting
from over issue of material requirements.
• If the subsequent schedule is released, or if it is unreleased
and falls into the auto release time fence, WIP rolls the
excess material charges forward to that schedule.
• If there is no subsequent schedule to auto release, WIP does
not roll the excess material charges forward.
Completion Transactions for Repetitive Schedules

Autorelease
• Repetitive production can be streamlined by automatically
releasing the next schedule when one schedule is
completed.
• A line can continue running and build repetitive assembly if
another schedule is defined for the assembly on that line.
• If the schedule is defined but unreleased, the completion of
the preceding schedule can serve as a signal to
automatically release the next unreleased schedule.
Completion Transactions for Repetitive Schedules

Can the Status of a Closed Job Be Changed?
• To be able to unclose jobs, the Close Discrete Jobs function
security parameter must be set to Y.
• Only jobs closed in error should be unclosed, it should be
done this immediately after the close using the Close
Discrete Jobs window.
• If assembly costs are rolled up between the time a job is
closed and unclosed, costs may be incorrect because the
unclose process does not revalue the job.
• A job that is linked to a sales order cannot be unclosed.
• A job that was closed in an accounting job that is no longer
open cannot be unclosed
