Planned Discrete Jobs

You can create planned orders and reschedule recommendations using the Planner Workbench in Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Oracle Supply Chain Planning. You can modify the due dates and quantities of planned orders. You can also firm plan these orders. You can create new discrete jobs by implementing all or some planned orders.

When you create jobs using the Planner Workbench, you can specify the WIP accounting class. Accounting classes can be defaulted. See: WIP Accounting Class Defaults, Discrete Parameters, and Discrete Accounting Classes.

If the job being created is for a lot controlled assembly, the WIP Default Lot Number Type parameter is used to determine whether lot numbers are assigned based on the job name or based on the Oracle Inventory lot number rules.

Discrete jobs created from planned orders use the planned order quantity as the default job quantity. The primary bill of materials and primary routings for the assemblies are used to create work in process bills and routings. Jobs created from planned orders are backward scheduled from the required completion date. The calculated start date is used to determine the bill and routing revisions and revision dates.

Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning takes shrinkage rate, component yield, and safety stock into consideration in the planning process. Once you define the standard job, supply is calculated using the following formula:

You can also use the Planner Workbench to reschedule existing jobs. For example, you can reschedule every assembly in the plan or you can reschedule only certain specific assemblies

Attention: When you implement planned orders and create discrete jobs, Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning does not take into account the WIP:View Only Released ECOs profile option in the Personal Profile Values window.
