For all resources you charge either manually or automatically, Oracle Work in Process also records the units applied to the job or repetitive schedule, expressed in the unit of measure of the resource, when you complete an operation.
As you assign resources that are defined as costed to operations, you can associate activities with them. When you charge these resources, the system records the activity you defined for that resource. Once collected, you can analyze your costs on an activity basis. For example, you can use the activity "setup" to track the costs of all resources that perform setups in the production plant. Then as you track the cost of setup as part of your manufacturing process improvement program, you can easily review the actual resource charges for "setup" activities.
You can add or change activities when you add or change resource requirements at a routing operation using the Resource Requirements window. For example, if you needed to add a quality inspection resource to a routing to charge some extra inspection costs, you might use an "inspection" activity. Later when you analyze the cost of quality, you can review as charges for the "inspection" activity. You can also change the activity associated with a resource requirement when manually enter charge the resource using the Resource Transactions window.
