• Non-standard jobs are more flexible than standard jobs. Because of this they can be used to manage such varying activities as rework, field service repair, upgrades, disassembly, maintenance, engineering prototypes, and other miscellaneous projects.

• Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning does not create planned orders or reschedule recommendations for non-standard jobs. You must manually define and reschedule non-standard jobs. However, if a non-standard job is assigned an assembly bill of material, a routing, or both, Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning considers the job's material requirements as demand and its assemblies as supply. Oracle Capacity considers resource load for non-standard jobs.

• Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning does not deduct scrapped assemblies from the MRP net quantity, nor does it gross down the MRP net quantity by the item shrinkage rate for non-standard jobs. As such, you must identify planned assembly shrinkage by entering an MRP net quantity that is less than the job quantity.

• Non-standard expense jobs are period costed and are not subject to cost updates, whereas standard discrete and asset type non-standard jobs are costed when closed and are automatically revalued by the cost update. Non-standard discrete jobs do not earn overhead on completion. Instead material overhead at completion is posted directly to the subinventory material overhead account. See: Discrete Job and Repetitive Schedule Costs.

• Work in Process does not implement engineering change orders (ECOs) on non-standard jobs. See: ECO Implementation by Status

• You can use a bill and routing from another assembly. For example, you can set up a standard upgrade routing to use for a group of assemblies.

• You can define bill of material loops, that is, you can define the assembly itself as a requirement on its bill. This is useful for upgrade, disassembly, and repair activities.
