Quality Management Workflows

This topic introduces you to the concept of a workflow process and refers you to the documentation that fully explains Oracle workflows. It presents an understanding of the OPM Quality Management workflows, how to set them up, how to start them, and how to use the Quality windows.

This appendix covers the following topics:

Basic Business Needs

The Quality Management application in Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM) supports quality inspection on the raw materials, intermediates, or finished goods at any stage during inventory transaction, receiving, production, or sales cycle, from within the corresponding applications.

Using the Quality Management application, you can set up specifications, draw samples, enter test results, and perform stability studies. The following business events are supported:

Technical Overview

OPM Quality Management workflows use two major components:

The design uses the Oracle Workflow Business Event System to define an event and associate it with a subscription to the business event. The subscription initiates a workflow to perform any needed database changes, notifications, or other requirements. Events and subscriptions can be enabled or disabled by the customer as needed using the business event system. A customer can add a new subscription to an event to perform customized functionality or features.

Understanding Workflow Processes

Oracle Workflow lets you automate and continuously improve business processes by routing information according to a set of business rules. You can transmit this information to individuals both inside and outside your enterprise on an individual basis.

Refer to the Oracle Workflow Guide and the Oracle E-Records Implementation Guide for additional information on:

Understanding OPM Quality Management Workflows

Sample Creation Notification

The Sample Creation Notification workflow sends a notification to draw a material sample as required by the associated sampling plan for the item specification and specification validity rule in effect. This workflow can be triggered by an inventory quantity increase, receiving transaction, batch step release, or lot expiration or retest. The notification lists the sampling plan information and includes a link to the Item Samples window, where information about the sampling event is populated.

Testing Notification

The Testing Notification workflow sends a notification to prompt you to perform a test and enter its result against a particular sample. It is initiated by the creation of a sample that is already associated to a specification or selection of the result action for retesting a certain test. Each tester for a given sample in process receives a notification for the expected test result.

Sample Disposition Notification

The Sample Disposition Notification workflow prompts for assignment of the final disposition for a sample once testing is complete. The sample disposition can be changed to accepted, accepted with variance, or rejected when all tests (if required by the associated specification) have recorded results that have been evaluated and finalized.

Sample Group Disposition Notification

The Sample Group Disposition Notification workflow notifies you that the sampling event requires a final disposition, based on the number of samples required by the sampling plan. This workflow is launched when all the samples within a sampling event have a final disposition of accept, accept with variance, reject, or cancel.

Composite Results Notification

The Composite Results Notification workflow asks you whether to composite the results across a set of samples within the same sampling event. This workflow is initiated when testing of all the samples in a sampling event (based on the number of samples required by the sampling plan) is complete and each sample has a final sample disposition. The notification provides a link to the Composite Results window, where information about the sampling event is populated.

Spec Status Change Approval Notification

The Spec Status Change Approval Notification workflow notifies the contact person when the specification status has changed. The workflow is activated for processing the status change. Typically, workflow approval is activated for status changes to Approved for Lab Use and Approved for General Use. The other statuses can be processed without requiring workflow approval.

Spec Customer Validity Rule Status Change Approval Notification

The Spec Customer Validity Rule Status Change Approval Notification workflow notifies the contact person when the customer specification validity rule status has changed. The workflow is activated for processing the status change. Typically, workflow approval is activated for status changes to Approved for Lab Use and Approved for General Use. The other statuses can be processed without requiring workflow approval.

Spec Inventory Validity Rule Status Change Approval Notification

The Spec Inventory Validity Rule Status Change Approval Notification workflow notifies the contact person when the inventory specification validity rule status has changed. The workflow is activated for processing the status change. Typically, workflow approval is activated for status changes to Approved for Lab Use and Approved for General Use. The other statuses can be processed without requiring workflow approval.

Spec Supplier Validity Rule Status Change Approval Notification

The Spec Supplier Validity Rule Status Change Approval Notification workflow notifies the contact person when the supplier specification validity rule status has changed. The workflow is activated for processing the status change. Typically, workflow approval is activated for status changes to Approved for Lab Use and Approved for General Use. The other statuses can be processed without requiring workflow approval.

Spec WIP Validity Rule Status Change Approval Notification

The Spec WIP Validity Rule Status Change Approval Notification workflow notifies the contact person when the WIP specification validity rule status has changed. The workflow is activated for processing the status change. Typically, workflow approval is activated for status changes to Approved for Lab Use and Approved for General Use. The other statuses can be processed without requiring workflow approval.

Spec Monitoring Validity Rule Status Change Approval Workflow

The Spec Monitoring Validity Rule Status Change Approval Notification workflow notifies the contact person when the monitoring specification validity rule status has changed. The workflow is activated for processing the status change. Typically, workflow approval is activated for status changes to Approved for Lab Use and Approved for General Use. The other statuses can be processed without requiring workflow approval.

Sample Group Rejection Notification

The Sample Group Rejection Notification workflow notifies the contact person that either a monitoring sample group, or a stability study time point sample group is rejected.

Stability Study Change Status Notification

The Stability Study Change Status Notification workflow notifies the study owner of status changes in the stability study. The process of changing status from New to a status of Completed involves a series of workflow notifications. Oracle E-Records operates with this workflow to enforce the stability study status control business rules. The cancellation of a stability study is also controlled by the workflow.

Stability Study Lot Sample Notification

When the stability study is approved, and specific lots of the item to be tested exist, then the Stability Study Lot Sample Notification workflow notifies the stability study contact person to obtain samples for all required material sources. In the notification, the contact person is designated to draw and store the specified samples, and to update the sample records accordingly.

Stability Study Batch Creation Notification

When the stability study is approved, and specific lots of the item to be tested do not exist, then the Stability Study Batch Creation Notification workflow notifies the stability study contact person to request that a batch be created for the study. The notification is sent only if the batch is a material source.

Stability Study Testing

The Stability Study Testing workflow is a master workflow that governs the Stability Study Time Point Scheduling Notification workflow, and the Stability Study Late Time Point Scheduling Notification workflow. This workflow runs as a background process to monitor for any time point test that requires a workflow notification, or a late workflow notification. The workflow raises the appropriate event for either scheduled or late time point tests.

If the stability study is canceled or the scheduled time point testing date changes, then a workflow API manages the situation. The sample group disposition is changed from a status of retained to a status of pending, and the sample pull dates are updated.

Stability Study Time Point Scheduling Notification

The Stability Study Time Point Scheduling Notification workflow notifies you to pull samples for time point testing. The notification considers the required lead time, and it requests you to change the disposition of a time point sample from Retained to Pending. When the sample disposition is changed to Pending, tests are scheduled. If the test is not performed within the grace period, then the OPM Quality Stability Study Testing master workflow raises a separate event that indicates the test is overdue.

Stability Study Late Time Point Scheduling Notification

The Stability Study Late Time Point Scheduling Notification workflow notifies you that a test is overdue. The notification considers the required grace period, and uses the OPM Quality Stability Study Testing master workflow to raise a separate event to indicate the test is late.

Quality UOM Conversion Notification

The Quality UOM Conversion Notification workflow notifies the contact person that a recommended UOM conversion exists. A link to the Item Lot Inter-class Unit of Measure Conversion window in the Oracle Inventory application is provided. This link does not operate unless a lot number is assigned.

Setting Up OPM Quality Management Workflows

For the proper functioning of the workflows, a few administrative steps must be handled. These include setting up notification contacts for the workflow and starting the workflow engine.

In Oracle Applications, choose the Oracle Workflow responsibility and invoke the Workflow Process Activation. Enable the following workflow notifications:

Raising an Event from PL/SQL

Raising an event can be done from PL/SQL code or within a workflow. Raising events must be done before commit statements or when something has occurred. When raising an event, parameters can be sent to the event for use by the workflow. The parameters are defined as a set of name/value pairs. These name/values are used as the attribute name/values of the workflow associated with the subscription for the specific event being raised.

Events

Use the Workflow Administrator to configure the seeded event subscription for the prebuilt inbound message if necessary.

Using the Workflow Administrator, add an event that can be raised from the PL/SQL code. This event can be due to an inventory transaction, item receiving or production, shipment picklot, etc.

Each business event is identified by a short name followed by a description. The event is referenced by the event short name across the framework and outside the framework. You need to know the event short name in order to call the API. The event is defined using the SSWA responsibility Workflow Administrator Web Applications. The owner tag of the business event is the application short name, such as GMD.

Refer to the Oracle Workflow Guide for details on configuring a workflow event.

Subscriptions

Use the Workflow Administrator to add a subscription that subscribes to the event as defined earlier. This subscription is associated with a specific workflow. For example, an inventory transaction can raise an event where a subscriber to that event initiates the Sample Creation workflow.

A subscription can be added to a defined local business event. The phase of the subscription determines if the subscription is synchronous or not. Phase values less than 100 are synchronous; all others asynchronous. There can be multiple subscriptions to the same business event with different functionality. A workflow can be associated with a subscription.

The Workflow Quality Manager events should have the second subscriber disabled. This enables the Quality workflow notifications to function as expected with respect to samples and sample dispositions.

Workflow

Workflows can be associated with a subscription. In the case of OPM Quality Management, a subscription for an event initiates a workflow execution.

Workflows control notifications for sample creation, sample disposition, and sample rejection. Workflows also control notifications for specification status and specification validity rule status. Workflows monitor and execute all aspects of the stability study including notifications for study status change, lot sampling, batch creation, time point testing. If time point testing is not performed within a scheduled grace period, then workflow issues a late time point test notification.

Using OPM Quality Management Workflows

Following are the OPM Quality Management workflows:

OPM Quality Sample Creation Workflow

The OPM Quality Sample Creation workflow notifies the workflow recipient that a sample or samples need to be taken for the item transaction.

The workflow that notifies a user about creating a sample can be instantiated by multiple applications, each with its own set of attributes and parameters. These applications include Receiving, Inventory, Production, and the resample quality action.

A contact person can be defined using at least one of the control parameters. The workflow resolves the role to at least a single user.

OPM Quality Test Workflow

This workflow is initiated by creating a sample or retesting. When a sample is created and associated to a specification, each workflow recipient receives a notification for the scheduled tests. The quality testing process is:

  1. Sample is created.

  2. The tester defined for each test is retrieved from AME.

  3. The tests are grouped by the tester defined in AME.

  4. Sends a notification to each tester with the list of the tests they need to conduct. The notification includes a link to the Forms window where the results can be entered.

The purpose of this workflow is to find the testers and send notification for testing a particular sample. In the case of a sample creation, the sample information is identified. In the retest or additional testing scenarios, the test is known.

OPM Quality Stability Study Testing Workflow

The OPM Quality Stability Study Testing workflow is the master workflow for two related workflows:

The workflow is the background process for the stability study, and it checks continuously for any time point test requiring a workflow notification (oracle.apps.gmd.qm.ss.tp) or a late workflow notification (oracle.apps.gmd.qm.ss.tplt). In each instance, it raises an appropriate event.

Scheduling the Workflow Background Process

Schedule the Workflow Background Process concurrent program to run hourly, or at an interval that is compatible with your stability study time point testing design.

  1. Navigate to the Submit Request window.

  2. Enter Name as Workflow Background Process. The Parameters dialog box displays.

  3. Select Item Type as OPM Quality Stability Study Testing.

  4. Select Process Deferred as Yes.

  5. Select Process Timeout as Yes.

  6. Click OK.

  7. Click Schedule... in the At these Times... region. The Schedule dialog box displays.

  8. Select Periodically in the Run the Job... region.

  9. Enter Start At as the date and time to begin the stability study testing. This field defaults to the system date and time.

  10. Leave End At blank to run the process indefinitely, or enter an appropriate time and date to end the workflow background process.

  11. Enter 1 and select Hour(s) to check for time point testing hourly.

  12. Click OK.

  13. Click Submit on the Submit Request window to submit the request.

The time point testing workflow is triggered so that a notification is sent to a user at a time set by the stability study lead time. If the test is not performed within the grace period, then a late notification is raised as a separate event.

If the stability study is canceled or a date changes, then the wf_engine.abort workflow API is called using the combination of item_type, the eight character name of the workflow, and item_key the key used for identifying the workflow.

Sample group disposition is changed from a status of Retained to a status of Pending. Sample pull dates on the are updated.

OPM Quality UOM Conversion Workflow

The Quality UOM Conversion Notification notifies the workflow recipient of a recommended UOM conversion. One workflow notification is issued for each recommended UOM conversion listed on the Change Disposition window UOM Conversions tab. Click the link to the Oracle Inventory Lot Inter-class Unit of Measure Conversion window. The item, lot, and conversion information displays on that window. The window fields are all protected from update. A lot number must be entered if it is not available for the sample group.

You can keep the workflow notification open, reenter the item lot conversion link, and enter another lot number for the same conversion. When the conversions are established for all the desired item lots, then you can close out the notification.

The basic process for initiating the OPM Quality UOM Conversion workflow is:

  1. Record samples and results for all tests saved on the specification created in setting up for the unit of measure conversion process. Refer to the "Using Lot UOM Conversions Based on Quality Results" topic for a complete discussion of this process.

  2. Change the sample group disposition to Accept, Accept with Variance, or Reject.

  3. An event for change status is raised.

  4. Workflow sends notification to contact person as defined in AME, along with the UOM conversion event information.

  5. Select the UOM Conversion tab on the Change Disposition window. The application enters all data displayed on this tab:

    • If at least one test on the specification has the Calculate UOM indicator selected

    • If the Change Disposition To field displays Accept, Accept with Variance, or Reject

    • If the sample group source is Inventory or Supplier

      Data appears on this tab even when test results are out-of-specification.

      If a lot UOM conversion already exists for the lot, then the current conversion between the UOM class of the base UOM and the UOM class of the To UOM is displayed below the new proposed conversion.

  6. Select the Recommend indicator next to the desired UOM conversions. If this indicator is not selected, then the proposed conversion is not used in inventory.

  7. Click OK to change the disposition of the sample group.

  8. Subscriber for the event initiates the workflow.

  9. Provide an eSignature for the disposition change if one is required.

  10. Receive the OPM Quality UOM Conversion workflow notification.

  11. Click the UOM Conversion link to the Oracle Inventory Lot Inter-class Unit of Measure Conversion window, and save to create the conversions.

  12. Close the workflow notification.

Approval Management Engine (AME) Approval Matrix

The Oracle Approval Management framework defines the approval matrix and approval groups. AME lets you define transaction and associate attributes that control the approvers of the transaction. It also lets you define approval groups based on FND users and let these groups be associated to rules. Approval Management production rules represent business rules that determine who must approve a transaction.

The process flow for creating an e-record and e-signature approval matrix is accomplished through the AME responsibility available in Oracle Applications.

Refer to the Oracle Approvals Management Implementation Guide and the Oracle E-Records Implementation Guide for details.

Defining Transaction, Attributes, and Approval Groups

Each business event is associated with a set of control parameter lists. The business event is the transaction in AME while the control parameter list becomes the list of attributes. In the case of the test business event, the attributes are Lab, Item, Test Class, Test, and Test Method.

A transaction type is defined in AME, and corresponds to an Oracle workflow business event. The name of the transaction type is the same as the name of the business event. Attributes are defined for the transaction along with the associated SQL statement, which derives the values of the attributes for a given transaction.

You define approval groups that are associated to the rule in AME.

Defining AME Conditions

Define conditions in AME using the attributes. For example, the Lab is OPME.

Defining eSignature Rules

Define rules in AME using the conditions. For example, the Rule for Plant Code is used with a specific approval list. If the plant code is OPME, then the approval list defined in AME is used.
