Implementing Planned Orders as Firm Jobs
You can implement a planned order as a firm discrete job or a repetitive schedule. When you release the order, it will appear as a firm discrete job or repetitive schedule in Oracle Work in Process. When these jobs or schedules are loaded in to work in process, the planning process treats them as firm scheduled receipts.
Implementing a planned order as firm does not stabilize the item in the material plan. The planning process will continue to make rescheduling suggestions in future runs until the order is released and becomes a firm scheduled receipt. Likewise, implementing planned orders as firm jobs does not prevent the planning process from rescheduling those items until they are loaded into work in process and become firm scheduled receipts.
The following list describes firming behavior:
- Firm a planned order: the planning process will not reschedule the planned order.
- Implement a planned order as a firm job or schedule: the planning process will reschedule the planned order.
- Release an order for a job or schedule that has been implemented as firm: the planning process will treat the job or schedule as a firm scheduled receipt and will not reschedule the order.
Therefore, to prevent the planning process from making rescheduling suggestions, you must either firm the planned order or release a planned order that has been implemented as firm. See: Creating Firm Planned Orders .
To implement a planned order as a firm job or schedule:
2. If you are creating a planned order manually, enter the firm date and firm quantity.
3. Check Selected to Release in the item row.
4. Review the implemented date and implemented quantity and change as necessary.
6. In the Implement As column, select:
Discrete Job: Only if the Build in WIP item attribute is Yes. This excludes the WIP: View Only Released ECOs profile option. This is the default when the Make or Buy item attribute is Make.
None: Do not implement the planned order. This is the default when the planned order has been fully implemented.
Purchase Requisition: Only if the Purchasable item attribute is Yes. This is the default when the Make or Buy item attribute is Buy.
8. In the Implement Property Sheet, check Firm and choose OK.
Attention: You cannot modify the implemented quantity from the Implement Property Sheet. Navigate to the Supply/Demand window to change the implemented quantity. You cannot firm implemented orders for purchase requisitions or repetitive schedules.
