This chapter covers the following topics:
The Oracle Process Manufacturing Process Execution application tracks firm planned orders and production batches from incoming materials through to finished goods. Seamlessly integrated to the Product Development application, Process Execution converts planned orders to single or multiple production batches, allocates ingredients, records actual ingredient usage, and completes and closes production batches. Production inquiries and preformatted reports help optimize inventory costs while maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction with on-time delivery of high quality products.
This section provides information on the common prerequisites, profile options, and data setups required for executing the Oracle Process Manufacturing Process Execution flows. Flow specific requirements are documented along with each flow in the subsequent sections.
The following are the prerequisites for executing the flows:

This flow creates firm planned orders (FPO) and converts the FPOs to production batches. It also queries the newly converted batches from the Batch Query form.
This section provides information on prerequisites, profile options, and data setups required to execute FPO to Batch Creation flow.
Convergence_Batch_Details_Convert_FPO
The following is a prerequisite for executing the FPO to Batch Creation flow:
Recipe and validity rules are defined.
The following profile options must be set:
| Profile Option Name | Profile Option Value |
|---|---|
| EDR: E-records and E-signatures | No |

This flow creates subinventory, locators, items, formulas and recipes. Based on the recipe, a new batch is created and a detailed reservation is performed for the ingredients. Ingredients are picked from the Picking Workbench and a Move Order is created. Batch reservations are verified after the batch pick release step is completed.
This section provides information on prerequisites, profile options, and data setups required to execute the Batch Reservations and Picking Move Order flow.
Conv_Reservations_Picking_MoveOrder
The following is a prerequisite for executing this flow:
Picking rules are defined.
Not applicable.
The following predefined data must be used:
| Window Name | Field Name | Field Value |
|---|---|---|
| Process Execution Parameters | Create Reservations | (Select the check box to create a reservation.) |
The following data must be set up:
| Window Name | Field Name | Field Value |
|---|---|---|
| Picking Rule | Picking Rule for Manufacturing | (Define inventory rules if the organization is not WMS enabled.) (If the organization is WMS enabled, define the WMS Picking Rule.) |
This flow creates items required for formula and recipe. It then creates a Firm Planned Order with the recipe. This flow converts the newly created Firm Planned Orders to batches by scaling the product quantity, and verifies if all ingredient, product and by product quantities are proportionally scaled up.
This section provides information on prerequisites, profile options, and data setups required to execute the Batch Scaling and Theoretical Yield flow.
GME_Convergence_Scale_Batch_Theoretical_Yield

The following data must be set up:
| Window Name | Field Name | Field Value |
|---|---|---|
| Product Development Security Manager: Organization Parameters: Query for PR1 Item creation | Default Formula Status | New |
This flow creates items, a formula and a recipe. Using the recipe, a new batch is created and is released in WIP status. The finished product is entered into the Pending Lots inventory category. This flow also verifies if the product lot details are correctly displayed in the Lot Genealogy window.
This section provides information on prerequisites, profile options, and data setups required to execute the Inventory Lot Genealogy flow.
