Overview of Project-Driven Supply Chain

Project managers and project accountants can use the Project-Driven Supply Chain solution to manage the costs of the supply chain processes in the context of projects without creating separate organizations for each project.

The integration of Oracle Project Portfolio Management and Oracle Supply Chain enables supply chain products to support project attributes, which allows the capture of supply chain costs as project expenditures. Project Number and Task Number are available to segregate and value the inventory, and support project-specific transactions that are based on rules in the Supply Chain Materials Management and Inventory Organization.

Project attributes are also added to supply chain execution documents such as purchase requisition, purchase order, sales order, transfer order, and manufacturing and maintenance work order. These project-specific execution documents follow the business rules that are defined for the project. Any transactions associated with these documents that create a commitment or actual cost to the project are captured with the project attributes to ensure that these costs are posted as expenditures to the project.

Here is an illustration that explains how the project-driven supply chain solution works.
