The Oracle Process Manufacturing Process Execution application is seamlessly integrated to the Product Development application. Therefore, setup in Oracle Process Manufacturing Process Execution is limited to modifications that are associated to recipes and validity rules in order to produce the production batch. This topic provides the setup requirements.
This chapter covers the following topics:
Following find the setup that is required in other applications. Set up these prerequisites prior to running the Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM) Process Execution application. Refer to the details for setting up these requirements provided in the application user's guides indicated. Depending on your individual requirements, there may be OPM related or additional setup required. If this is the case, then the details are provided below.

Process Parameters
The Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM) Process Execution parameters are defined at the organization level. The OPM Product Development and Oracle Inventory Organization Parameters must be defined to set up OPM Process Execution parameters.
Prerequisites
To set up OPM Process Execution parameters
Navigate to the Process Execution Parameters window.
The following fields are display only and are set up on the OPM Product Development Parameters window:
Name is the name of the organization.
Plant is selected if the current organization is a plant.
Laboratory is selected if the current organization is a laboratory.
Batch Setup
Select Display Unconsumed/Unyielded Material to view the unconsumed ingredients and unyielded products when a batch is complete.
Select Autoconsume From Supply Subinventory Only to consume ingredients automatically only from the supply subinventory.
Set Allow Material Deletion to:
Pending to allow material deletion only when a batch is pending.
Pending and WIP to allow material deletion when a batch is in pending or WIP status.
Set Validate Plan Dates to:
Validate Both Planned Dates to validate both planned start and planned completion dates, against the validity rule date range, when creating or rescheduling a batch or firm planned order.
Validate Planned Start Date Only to validate only planned start dates, against the validity rule date range, when creating or rescheduling a batch or firm planned order.
Set Incremental Backflush Factor to:
Single Product to calculate the incremental backflush factor as a ratio of incremental quantity of an item to WIP planned quantity of a single product.
Total of Product to calculate the incremental backflush factor as a ratio of the incremental quantity of an item to total WIP planned quantity of all products.
Enter number of days in Rule Based Reservation Time Fence. Detailed reservations based on picking rules are created for batches which have material requirement date within this number of days. Required.
Create Batch
Select Check Shortages to check inventory shortages during batch creation. The shortages are checked at the inventory organization level.
Select Copy Formula Text to copy text from the formula header and details to the batch header and details during the batch creation process.
Select Copy Routing Text to copy text from routing steps, activities, and resources to the batch steps during batch creation.
Select Create High Level Reservations to create reservations at the item level for ingredients during batch creation. Note that high level reservations are not created for lot indivisible items.
Enter a Reservation Time Fence as the number of days within which high level reservations are made during batch creation. The material requirement dates must be within this time fence to create high level reservations during batch creation. If Create High Level Reservations is set to NO, then this field is not enabled. Required.
Select Create Move Order to create move orders during batch creation for the ingredients that do not have sufficient inventory in the supply subinventory.
Enter a Move Order Time Fence as the number of days within which a move order can be created for an ingredient. The material requirement dates must be within this time fence to create move orders. If Create Move Orders parameter is set to NO, then this field is not enabled. Required.
Set Apply Fixed Process Loss to:
Manually to be able to apply fixed process loss individually, for each batch, during batch creation. Default.
To All Batches for applying fixed process loss to all batches.
Refer to "Allowing for Fixed Process Loss" for more information.
Batch Steps
Select Step Controls Batch Status to allow a step to control the status of the batch. For example, if the batch is pending and a step is released, then the batch is also released.
Select Backflush Resource Usage to backflush resource usage when incremental backflushing is performed on the product.
Select Default Actual Resource Usage to copy the planned resource usage to the actual resource usage upon step completion when the actual resource usage has not been entered.
Select Calculate Interim Resource Usage to calculate the actual step quantity and resource usages when a step is in WIP status. This only applies when using Automatic Step Quantity Calculation.
Select Allow Qty Below Min Capacity to allow a resource process quantity to be less than the resource capacity.
Select Display Non Working Days to display the nonworking days in the Production Scheduler.
Document Numbering
Set Batch Numbering as:
Automatic to generate the batch numbers automatically.
Manual to enter a batch number manually.
Enter the last batch number assigned in Batch Last Assigned, if using Automatic numbering for batches. The automatic batch numbering starts by adding one to this number. Required.
Set Firm Planned Order Numbering as:
Automatic to generate the Firm Planned Order (FPO) numbers automatically.
Manual to enter a FPO number manually.
Enter the Last FPO Number Assigned, if using Automatic numbering for FPOs. The automatic numbering of FPOs starts by adding one to this number. Required.
Set Group Numbering for multi-batch transactions as:
Automatic to generate group numbers automatically.
Manual to generate group numbers manually.
Enter the last group number assigned in Group Last Assigned, if using Automatic numbering for groups. The automatic group numbering starts by adding one to this number.

Each applications user's guide provides details on how the application uses profile options. Set a value for selected profile options to specify how the application controls access to and processes data. Set up Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM) profile options prior to implementation. Your System Administrator sets user profile options at one or more of the following levels: Site, Application, Responsibility, and User. Use the Personal Profile Options window to view or set your profile options at the user level. Consult the Oracle E-Business Suite System Administrator's Guide for a list of profile options common to all Oracle Applications.
This profile option specifies the alphanumeric string to add to the batch number to form the WIP Entity Name.
