This demonstration shows you how you can use integrate manufacturing and maintenance direct work order transactions with your warehouse management system to enhance your business. Let's start the demonstration. First, we will ensure that the opt-in feature integrate manufacturing and maintenance direct work order transactions with your warehouse management system is enabled.

Now that we have made sure that the opt-in is enabled, we will view the two new parameters enabled, while defining some inventories in organizations integrated with WMS. We will access the task, configure some inventories. And once you click the task, subinventories page opens.

Let's view the parameters available for defining subinventories for organizations integrated with WMS. Click the hyperlink on the subinventory name. The subinventory details page opens. And we will expand the More Information section to view setup details for the subinventory.

This is the supply subinventory defined with the two new parameters. Use subinventory for manufacturing and maintenance integration with WMS is enabled and use packing unit for product completions and returns isn't enabled. Use the Back icon to exit the page.

Now we will look at the completion subinventory which will be used to store the completed products. We will expand the More Information section to view setup details for the subinventory. This is the completion subinventory defined with the two new parameters. Use subinventory for manufacturing and maintenance integration with WMS is enabled.

Use packing unit for product completions and returns is also enabled. This mandates that the packing unit to be provided while performing product completion transactions in manufacturing and maintenance. Click the back icon to exit the page.

Now we will access the work orders using the Manage Work Orders task in the work execution work area. You can view that the work order is already released. Click the work order number. Check that the status of the work order is released. Now we will view the completion information. Check that the completion subinventory here is the one with the parameter used packing unit for product completions and returns enabled.

Click the Operations tab to view the components required for manufacturing the assembly. Click the item's hyperlink and the edit operation items pop-up opens. For each item, you may view the supply type and supply subinventory. Click the OK button to exit the window. Click the Cancel button to exit the page. As we require 10 units of each of the components, we will verify that the on-hand inventory is available in the supply subinventory in WMS.

Next, we log into the Oracle Fusion Cloud Warehouse Management application and verify the on-hand inventory for the completed product and components in respective locations. On the reserve inventory screen, note that the current quantity is 12 units for the completed product. Next, we access the Active Inventory screen to view the on-hand inventory for the components.

We can note and observe the on-hand inventory of 15 each in the supply inventory. Now that we have verified the existing on-hand in WMS, we will try to complete the work order in Oracle Fusion Manufacturing Cloud and reverify the on-hand positions after that. We will access the review dispatch list task in the panel drawer to perform the product completion. Review dispatch list page opens.

Enter the work order number. Click the Search button to query the work order. For this work order, click the Expand icon to view the available options. Click the Complete with Details button. Complete with details page opens up for the work order. Click the Next button to proceed with the steps to complete the work order. View the three components and the quantities that would be back flushed on completion of the work order. Click the Next button. Click the Next button.

On the last step, view the completion subinventory, which is per the setup mandates entering the packing unit for the product completed on the work order and to the packing unit on the work order. Packing unit is nothing but the LPN in WMS.

We will click the Save and Close button to complete the product in manufacturing. The message shows that the work order is completed for 10 quantities in the completion subinventory. Next, we will query the work order to confirm that the work order is completed.

You may note that the work order is now completed. Click the Done button to exit the page. Now we will validate the manufacturing transactions for the work order in the inventory management work area using the review completed transactions task.

We see the product completion and material issue transactions for the work order. Note the integration status is ready to interface, as these transactions are not yet sent to WMS. Click the hyperlink on the transaction ID for the product completion transaction to view the details.

Note the packing unit provided during product completion on the work order. Click the Done button to exit the page. Click the Done button again to exit this page. Now we will run the scheduled process to send these transactions to WMS. We will manually schedule a new process.

The scheduled process generate manufacturing and maintenance transactions for external systems will be run to interface the transactions to WMS. And this should be scheduled to run on the customer environments using a pre-built Oracle Integration Cloud, OIC Integration. We will provide the organization and work order number to send the transactions related to a specific work order.

Click the Submit button, run the scheduled process. Click the Refresh button to check if the scheduled process has successfully completed. Next, we will verify if the transactions are sent to WMS from Oracle Fusion Inventory Management using the review completed transactions task.

Search for the transactions using the work order number. We can see that the integration status of the transactions is now interfaced. Click the Done button to exit the page. Next, we will try to view the transactions processed in WMS and view the changed on-hand inventory positions.

In WMS, we will query the interfaced manufacturing transactions. We can view the process work order transactions for the work order completed in Oracle Fusion Manufacturing Cloud. We may also notice the LPN number populated for the product completion transaction, which is the same as the packing unit entered in the Oracle Fusion Manufacturing Cloud.

Now we will try to see the component on-hand inventory using the Active Inventory screen. We will refresh the page to check the current quantity after interfacing the manufacturing transactions. Current quantity now shows as 5, as 10 units of the components are consumed during product completion component backflush.

Now we will try to see the product on-hand inventory using the Reserve Inventory screen. We will refresh the page to check the current quantity after interfacing the product completion transactions. Current quantity now shows as 22, as 10 units of the product completion has happened on the work order. We can also view the packing unit, also known as LPN, using the current LPNs hyperlink. We can view the number for the 10 quantities completed on the work order.

We have seen how the feature integrate manufacturing and maintenance direct work order transactions with your warehouse management system works. This concludes the demonstration.
