Using Manufacturing Execution Systems for Process Manufacturing

Oracle Process Mobile Manufacturing enables you to perform Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) for Process Manufacturing transactions on mobile device hardware.

To log into the MES for Process Manufacturing responsibility

1. Log onto the Oracle Mobile Supply Chain application.

   

2. Choose < MES for Process Manufacturing>. The MES for Process Manufacturing window appears.

   

3. Choose one of the following:

   • <Issue Ingred> to record ingredient issue for production batches

   • <Return Ingred> to record the return of ingredients to inventory from the batches

   • <Cmplt Product> to yield products, byproducts, or co-products of production batches into lots

   • <Return Product> to record the return of products of production batches to inventory or a correction made to a material yield transaction

   • <Create Pnd Lot> to create pending product and by-product lots for a production batch

   • <Update Pnd Lot> to update the pending product lots for a production batch

   • <Incr Backflushing> to incrementally backflush an item in a production batch

   • <LPN Transactions> to perform LPN transactions for a production batch

   • <Update Resource> to update resource usage

   • <Start Resource> to record the start date and time of usage for a resource

   • <End Resource> to record the end date and time of usage for a resource

   • <Release Step> to release a batch step

   • <Complete Step> to complete a batch step

4. <Change Responsibility> to access a different mobile application responsibility.

5. <Logout> to exit the mobile application.

Recording Ingredient Usage in Production Batches

The Ingredient Issue function supports the issue of ingredients for production batches. When you issue ingredients, the application creates WIP Issue transactions. Ingredient issues do not affect existing reservations and are only used to record additional usage. Using the GME_MOB_ING_ISSUE or Issue Ingred, function you can either create new transactions for ingredient consumption or transact existing reservations for ingredients. You must set the TXN_MODE parameter in the Application Developer responsibility to transact existing ingredient reservations.

Set the parameter to:

• NEW_ONLY to create only new transactions.

• RES_ONLY to transact existing reservations.

• BOTH to create new transactions and transact the existing reservations.

To record ingredient consumption in a production batch using the Issue Ingred window

1. Navigate to the MES for Process Manufacturing window.

   

2. Select<Issue Ingred>. The Choose Organization window appears.

   Note: The Choose Organization window appears when you log onto the Mobile Supply Chain application, and select an MES for Process Manufacturing function.

3. Enter the Organization code. The Issue Ingred window appears.

   

4. In the Batch field, enter, select, or scan the document number assigned to the batch. You can only access WIP batches. You cannot access Completed, Closed or Canceled batches. Required.

   Note: Lot, Locator, Dual UOM, Revision, Status, and Qty fields display dynamically based on item controls set in the inventory application.

5. In the Step field, enter or select the batch step number. If you enter a step number, then only items that are associated to the step display in the Item and Line fields.

6. In the Item field, enter or select the item number for the ingredient. When you enter the line number, this field defaults to the item code for the line entered.

7. In the Line field, enter, select, or scan the batch line number. This field appears if the item is not entered or if the item entered is used in multiple batch lines.

8. In the Use Rsrv field, select the reservation for the material line. The LOV for this field displays all high and detailed level reservations for the selected material line. If you select a detailed level reservation, then the Revision, Subinventory, Locator, Lot, and Lot Qty fields default to the values entered in the reservation. If you also reserved serial numbers, the SN list opens. Select a serial number. A Processed message appears. Continue selecting and processing each serial number until there is no longer a Remaining quantity. This field is enabled based on the TXN_MODE function parameter setting as follows:

   • If the TXN_MODE is NEW, then the Use Rsrv field is not enabled.

   • If the TXN_MODE is RES_ONLY, or BOTH, then the Use Rsrv field is enabled.

If you enter a value in the Qty field, then the Sec Qty field is updated. If the item is Default UOM controlled, then this field is optional and you can enter a value in the Sec Qty field.

14. In the Reason field, you can optionally enter a reason for the ingredient consumption transaction.

15. In the Txn Date field, verify the default transaction date and time. The default is the system date.

    

16. If the item is lot controlled, then in the Lot field, enter, select, or scan the lot number to use for consumption.

17. In the Lot Qty field, enter the quantity of the item to consume from the lot. You can choose to consume from one or more lots. Consumptions from lot quantities add up to the actual quantity. As lot quantities are issued, the system automatically updates the Act Qty field. This option is available only if the TXN_MODE is set to New or Both.

18. The Remaining field shows the ingredient quantity remaining to be consumed. Remaining = Qty - Act Qty.

19. In the Sec Qty field, enter the quantity of the ingredient to consume in the item's secondary UOM. You can choose to enter Sec Qty or Qty. If you enter a value in the Sec Qty, then the Qty field is updated.

Performing LPN Transactions

The Product Completion function enables you to record batch output into an LPN. This function is enabled only for WMS-enabled organizations. The following options are available:

• Product Completion

Using the Product Completion Window

Use the Product Completion window to yield a product directly to an LPN. When you yield a product using the Product Completion window, a putaway task is generated in the application, but the product is not delivered into inventory until you transact the task. This transaction can be used in a scenario, where a production operative records the batch yield, but material is putaway by inventory workers who will perform the putaway task depending on their workload. Thus, the increase in inventory may occur some time after production is recorded. The LPN status is In WIP.
