Project Manufacturing
Oracle Project Manufacturing is a solution for companies that manufacture products using projects or contracts.  Oracle Project Manufacturing combines three major applications:
- Oracle Projects, which provides the project costing, project billing, and project budgeting functions.
 
- Third-party project planning and scheduling systems (project management systems)
 
When used as a part of the Project Manufacturing functionality, Oracle Projects acts as a cost repository for manufacturing-related activities from other products in the Project Manufacturing suite.
The incorporation of Oracle Projects in the Project Manufacturing suite allows you to:
- Set up the WBS for a manufacturing project in Oracle Projects.  All manufacturing costs are then tracked by project and task, and are imported to Oracle Projects using the Transaction Import process.
 
- Track projects and tasks defined in Oracle Projects throughout various manufacturing applications.
 
- Charge project costs from inventory and work in process to a project and task.
 
- Include project costs from manufacturing and distribution in your budget to actual cost analysis in Oracle Projects.
