Overview of Non-Standard Discrete Jobs

Non-standard discrete jobs can be used to control materials and resources and to collect costs for a wide variety of miscellaneous manufacturing activities such as rework, field service repair, upgrade, disassembly, maintenance, and engineering prototypes.

Assemblies

You can optionally assign an assembly to a non-standard job. For example, if you are using a non-standard job to rework assemblies, you can identify those assemblies on the job. On the other hand, if you are using a non-standard job to track machine maintenance, you do not have to associate the job with an assembly.

Quantities

You can choose whether to specify a job quantity on a non-standard job. The job quantity enables you to track the assemblies on the shop floor and to plan supplies. You cannot define a job quantity if you have not defined an assembly for the non-standard job.

Bills of Material and Routings

You can assign bills of material and routings to non-standard discrete jobs, or you can create them manually. You can assign any bill or routing including one that does not match the assembly item of the job.

Transactions

You can perform move, issue, backflush, resource, scrap, and completion transactions on non-standard discrete jobs with assemblies. For non-standard jobs without assemblies, you can only do issue and resource transactions.

Planning Options

You can specify how Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning plans material requirements and job quantities. For each material requirement on a non-standard job, you can use the MRP Net field to specify whether MRP includes the requirement as a demand. For the assembly, you can specify the MRP net quantity as the number of assemblies you expect the non-standard job to supply on the completion date of the job.

Asset and Expense Accounting Class

You can define asset accounting classes for non-standard discrete jobs you want to carry as an asset during the life of the job. Asset classes are costed on a job basis. You can also define expense accounting classes for non-standard jobs you want to expense during each accounting period.

Job Close

You can manually close non-standard jobs whenever you choose. The system automatically performs an accounting close for non-standard jobs with expense type accounting classes on a periodic basis during the period close process.

Job Costs

You can charge, value, and report the standard costs of material, material overhead, resources, resource overhead, and outside processing for non-standard discrete jobs. You can charge resource and outside processing at actual cost. Non-standard jobs with expense type accounting classes are not subject to revaluation at cost update. Non-standard jobs do not earn material overhead on Completions.

Project Non-Standard Jobs

If Project Manufacturing is implemented, you can use project non-standard jobs in the same way that you use common non-standard jobs.
