Assembly Completions and Returns
You can complete assemblies from jobs and repetitive schedules into inventory, and you can return completed assemblies from inventory to jobs and repetitive schedules. Assemblies can be completed and returned using the Completion Transactions and the Move Transactions windows. You can also import assembly completion and return transactions through the Inventory Transaction Interface in Oracle Inventory.
Completion Quantities
Completing assemblies from a job or schedule with a routing reduces the assembly quantity in the To move intraoperation step of the last operation sequence and increases the job or schedule completed quantity.
Return Quantities
Returning assemblies to a job or schedule with a routing, increases the assembly quantity in the To move intraoperation step of the last operation sequence and decreases the job or schedule complete quantity.
Alternate Units of Measure
You can complete and return assemblies in their alternate unit of measure. If you enter an alternate unit of measure for the item, the transaction quantity is converted using the conversion information you specified when you defined the unit of measure in Oracle Inventory. You can change this quantity if desired.
Lot and Serial Number Control
You must assign a lot or serial number if the assembly is under lot, serial number, or lot and serial number control. For discrete jobs, the lot number you specified when you defined the job as the default displays.
If you are completing assemblies that have lot controlled Assembly Pull components and the WIP Backflush Lot Selection Parameter is set to Manual, you must manually select which lots to backflush. If you are completing assemblies that have serial controlled or lot and serial controlled components, you must manually select which lots and/or serial numbers to backflush.
Revision Control
When you complete assemblies under revision control, the revision defaults based on the assembly revision of the job or repetitive schedule. For assemblies under revision control, the bill revision is completed from the job or the earliest released repetitive schedule. If there is no bill revision on the job or repetitive schedule, but the assembly is under revision control, the assemblies' current revision is completed as defined in Oracle Inventory.
Completion Subinventory and Locator
When you complete assemblies, the completion subinventory defaults from the job or repetitive line/assembly association. For subassemblies, the completion subinventory can be the supply subinventory for higher level assemblies, for final assemblies or finished goods the completion subinventory can be finished goods inventory. You can change the default completion subinventory as you complete assemblies.
If you have set your organization, subinventory, or item controls to require locators, you must also enter locator as you complete assemblies.
Final Assembly Orders Completion
Reservations are automatically transferred from the job to the subinventory and locator as you complete assemblies from final assembly orders. Reservations are automatically transferred based on sales order line delivery due dates. You can override the automatic transfer. When assemblies are returned to a final assembly order, you must enter the sales order line and delivery information so that the system knows which specific reservations to transfer back from inventory.
Repetitive Production Lines
When you complete repetitive assemblies into inventory from a repetitive production line, the completion transaction is automatically allocated to a specific repetitive schedule on a first in-first out basis. When you return assemblies from inventory to a repetitive schedule line, the transaction is automatically allocated to specific repetitive schedules on a last in-first out basis.
