How You Set Up Manufacturing
To set up Oracle Fusion Manufacturing, you perform the setup tasks specified in the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management offering on the Setup and Maintenance work area.
Manufacturing is an optional functional area in the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management Offering, and must be selected for implementing Oracle Fusion Manufacturing. The Manufacturing functional area consists of the following hierarchy:
-
Manufacturing Master Data
-
Structures
This topic lists the manufacturing setup tasks under the following three categories:
-
Manufacturing Master Data Functional Area
-
Structures Functional Area
-
Common Setup Tasks
Manufacturing Master Data Functional Area
There are some tasks that may be included in the Manufacturing Master Data functional area, and if the tasks are required or optional. For more information about adding tasks to the Manufacturing Master Data functional area, see Implementing Manufacturing chapter of the Implementing Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management guide.
The following table describes some tasks in the Manufacturing Master Data functional area with their descriptions and whether the tasks are required or optional:

Genealogy Build Deferred During Execution |
Optional |
Specify whether the product genealogy is built online immediately or you can decide to defer it. It has two values of Yes and No with the default value being No. The profile value can be set up only at site level. |
These tasks are common to any Oracle Cloud application. Manufacturing doesn't require any specific setup for them, so you can follow the instructions that you use to perform them for any Oracle application. For details about how to perform them, refer to the Implementing Common Features for SCM guide.
Enable Genealogy Build Deferred During Execution
To improve the performance of Genealogy, some modifications have been made. A new profile has been introduced. The profile name is Genealogy Build Deferred During Execution (Code: ORA_WIE_DEFER_GENEALOGY_BUILD). You have to specify whether the build of product genealogy is deferred. If it's not deferred, then genealogy builds at the same time as the transaction.
To enable Genealogy Build Deferred During Execution, perform the following steps.
-
In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the following:
-
Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management
-
Task: Manage Administrator Profile Values
-
-
In the Profile Option Code field, query for the option Genealogy Build Deferred During Execution (Code: ORA_WIE_DEFER_GENEALOGY_BUILD).
Using this profile, you can specify whether the product genealogy is built online immediately or you can decide to defer it. It has two values, Yes and No, with the default value being No. The profile value can be set up only at site level.
-
If you set the profile value to No, genealogy details are interfaced to the genealogy repository immediately and genealogy builds at the same time as the transaction.
-
If you set the profile value to Yes, genealogy will be not be built immediately. The related transaction records will be available in the interface. You must schedule the Retry in-Error Genealogy Transactions scheduled process at an appropriate time to resubmit the records for processing and build genealogy. After the genealogy is built, the records are removed from the interface.
Enable Audit Trail for Manufacturing Work Orders

Considerations for Setting Up Lookups for Manufacturing
Lookups in applications are used to represent a set of codes and their translated meanings. For instruction on setting up lookups that are common to any Oracle application, refer to the Implementing Common Features for SCM guide, Define Applications Core Configuration chapter.
In addition to the common lookups, Oracle Fusion Manufacturing uses some specific lookups.
The following table lists the lookups specific to Oracle Fusion Manufacturing and descriptions of the lookup codes which you can populate accordingly:
Lookup Name | Lookup Code | Description |
---|---|---|
Resource Class |
ORA_WIS_RESOURCE_CLASS |
Enables you to group resources into resource group for the planning activities. |
Work Center Resource Group |
ORA_WIS_WC_RESOURCE_GROUP |
Enables you to group resources for the work center planning activities. |
Work Order Operation Transaction Reason Codes |
ORA_WIE_REASON_CODE |
Captures the reason codes for scrap and reject transactions. |
Work Order Sub Type |

Captures the work order subtype that describes the specific nature of work being performed. The predefined values are Standard Production, Prototype, Repair, Pilot Lot, and Test Lot. You can add additional lookup values as needed. |
Work Definition Operation Resource Activity |
ORA_WIS_RESOURCE_ACTIVITY |
Captures the activity name of the work definition operation resource. The predefined values are Setup, Run, and Tear Down. You can add additional lookup values as needed. |
How You Manage Work Areas
A work area is the specific region in a manufacturing plant where the production activities are executed. In other words, a work area identifies a physical, geographical or logical grouping of work centers.
At least one work area must be defined for a manufacturing plant. However, a plant can have one or more work areas defined within it. A work area consists of one or more work centers within it. A production operator can report material, resource, and operation transactions performed at work centers that belong to a specific work area.
The Manage Work Areas page in the Work Definition work area serves as a starting point to create, edit, and delete the work areas. To access the Manage Work Areas page, based on your security privilege, you can do either of the following:
-
In the Work Definition work area, in the Tasks pane, click the Manage Work Areas link in the Plant Setup category.
-
in the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the following:
-
Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management
-
Functional Area: Manufacturing Master Data
-
Task: Manage Work Areas
-
Creating, Editing, and Deleting a Work Area
You create a work area by providing a unique name and code for the work area.
A work area is deactivated or reactivated by updating the Inactive On field. When a work area is deactivated, it is not available for further use until it is reactivated.
You can delete or deactivate a work area only if no work center is associated with it.
How You Manage Work Centers
Work centers are specific production units that consist of people or equipment with similar capabilities. Each work center is associated with a valid work area and can be used for capacity requirement planning and detailed scheduling.
The Manage Work Centers page in the Work Definition work area serves as a starting point to perform the following tasks:
-
You can create, edit, and delete work centers.
-
You can add resources to a work center and allocate resources to different shifts.
-
You can view and manage exceptions associated to the resources.
However, based on your security privileges, you may have to manually add the Manage Work Centers task in the Setup and Maintenance work area, using the following:
-
Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management
-
Functional Area: Manufacturing Master Data
-
Task: Manage Work Centers
Creating, Editing, and Deleting a Work Center
You create a work center by providing a unique name and code for the work center, and a valid work area to which the work center is associated.
A work center is deactivated or reactivated by updating the Inactive On field.
You cannot delete a work center if:
-
There is any resource associated with the work center.
-
The work center is being referenced in work definition operation.
-
The work center is being referenced in work order operation.
Adding Resources to a Work Center and Allocating Resources to a Shift
After creating a work center, you can add resources to it and then allocate shift hours to each resource.
The following table lists all the fields on the Manage Work Centers page and the descriptions of those fields to help you choose the required value for each field.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Resource |
The unique identifier of the resource. This is a required field. |
Inactive On |
The date on which the resource becomes inactive. |
Default Units Available |
Number of resource units available in a work center. This is a required field. |
Available 24 Hours |
Indicates whether a resource is available 24 hours a day. A resource that is not available 24 hours is available only during the shifts assigned to it. |
Check Capable To Promise |
Indicates whether the Global Order Promising engine considers the capacity of this resource during order promising. |
Utilization |
The percentage of the resource time available for the task. This is a required field. |
Efficiency |
The percentage of the time a resource takes to complete a task. This is a required field. |
Utilization and Efficiency Percentages:
The utilization and efficiency percentages are by default set to 100 percent. When these percentages are set to less than 100, they extend the scheduled duration of the resource during work order scheduling. For example, if 2 hours of work is required to be done using resource LATHE1 starting from 9 AM on a specific work order, and if its efficiency is 50 percent, and utilization is 50 percent, then the scheduler will determine the end time for this resource as 5 PM. This is calculated as 2/ (0.5*0.5) = 8 hours.( the efficiency percentage of the resource and the utilization percentage of the resource is multiplied to get a value. Then the number of hours required to be done by the resource is divided by the derived value to determine the number of hours from the start time of a resource.)
Resource Allocation:
A resource is available in shifts if the Available 24 Hours field is not selected. When a shift-based resource is associated to a work center, the default units of the resource are automatically assigned to all the shifts of the plant. You can update the availability of resource units across the shifts as required.
For example, consider that you have defined two 8 hour shift for the work center WC1: Day Shift and Night Shift. You associate two units each of four resources R1, R2, R3, and R4 to the work center WC1. The following table shows the various possibilities of associating shifts to resources in a work center and the ways to implement the solutions:
Scenario | Implementation |
---|---|
You want the resource R1 available for 24 hours a day. |
Consideration: You have not associated the resource R1 to the work center WC1 yet. Solution: Select the Available 24 Hours check box when associating the resource R1 to the work center WC1. Now, the two units of resource R1 are available 24 hours a day and you cannot assign any shift for it. |
You want two units of the resource R2 available for the Day Shift only. |
Consideration: You have already associated the resource R2 to work center WC1 with Available 24 Hours check box deselected. Solution: In the Resource Availability region, in the Day Shift column, enter 2 against the resource R2. Now, the two units of resource R2 is available for Day Shift. For the Night Shift, the resource R2 has zero or Null value. |
You want one unit of the resource R3 available for Day Shift and one unit of resource R3 available for Night Shift. |
Consideration: You have already associated the resource R3 to work center WC1 with Available 24 Hours check box deselected. Solution: In the Resource Availability region, in the Day Shift column, enter 1 against the resource R3 and in the Night Shift column, enter 1 against the resource R3. Now, one unit of resource R3 is available for the Day Shift and one unit of resource R3 is available for the Night Shift. |
You want all the units of resource R4 available for both the Day Shift and Night Shift. |
Consideration: You have already associated the resource R4 to work center WC1 with Available 24 Hours check box deselected. Solution: In the Resource Availability region, in the Day Shift column, enter 2 against the resource R4 and in the Night Shift column, enter 2 against the resource R4. Now, two units of resource R4 is available for both the Day Shift and the Night Shift. |
Viewing and Managing Resource Exceptions
You use the work center resource calendar to view and manage the exceptions related to the resources. In case of a conflict, the exceptions granted in the work center resource calendar override the exceptions granted in production calendar.
How You Manage Work Order Statuses
If you're a production controller or supervisor, you can define and update work order statuses to support enterprise-specific business processes. To do so, use the Manage Work Order Statuses page. Here are two ways to find the page:
-
In the Tasks pane of the Setup and Maintenance work area, click the Manage Work Order Statuses task.
-
In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use this path:
-
Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management
-
Functional Area: Manufacturing Master Data
-
Task: Manage Manufacturing and Maintenance Work Order Statuses
A work order status can be either predefined or user-defined. Here are the predefined statuses:
-
Unreleased
-
Released
-
On Hold
-
Completed
-
Closed
-
Canceled
Define a New Work Order Status
To define a new status, click the Add icon. You must provide a unique name and code for the status, and associate it to a system status. For example, you can define the new status Materials_Unrel, and associate it to the system status Unreleased. This helps you sort, manage, and report work orders more effectively.
Edit a User-Defined Work Order Status
You can only update the Name and Description attributes for both system statuses and user-defined statuses. For a user-defined status, you can't update the Code and System Status attributes.
Resource Instances
Resource instances are granular representations of a resource in the Manufacturing application. One or more resource instances can be associated to a resource. You can identify a resource by a unique code known as the identifier, and a name.
You can also optionally assign a primary work center to the resource instance to identify the department or location that the resource instance primarily works in.
You can deactivate or reactivate a resource instance by updating the Inactive On field. When a resource instance is deactivated, it's not available for further use until reactivated. You can delete a resource instance only if it's not used in work execution.
Associate Labor Resource Instances
A labor resource instance represents the names of actual people working in the manufacturing shop floor. A labor resource instance can be optionally associated to a person record available in the Oracle Trading Community Architecture. Such associations are unique within a plant.
Person types in Oracle Trading Community Architecture that can be associated to a resource instance and can be any of the following:
-
Employee
-
Contingent Worker
-
Partner Contact
You can define persons of types Employees or Contingent Workers in Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) and are automatically propagated to the Oracle Trading Community Architecture through the HCM- Oracle Trading Community Architecture auto-sync process.
You can set up persons of type Partner Contact in the Oracle CRM application, which are automatically available in the Oracle Trading Community Architecture.
Associate Equipment Resource Instances
An equipment resource instance represents the names of actual machines being used in the manufacturing shop floor. An equipment resource instance can optionally associated to an Asset Number defined in Maintenance Cloud. Such associations are unique within a plant.
Assets must be defined in a location corresponding to the plant and a location type work center in order to be eligible for association to the equipment resource instance.
Use the IoT Insights icon provided in the Equipment Resource Instances region, to drill down to the Machine Summary view in IoT Production Monitoring Cloud to view machine performance, real time sensor data, and insights into analytics, anomalies, predictions, and trends.

How You Manage Resources
The resources are the labors, equipment, and tools allocated to a work center. Resources can be categorized into two types: Labor and Equipment.
The Manage Resources page in the Work Definition work area serves as a starting point to search, create, edit, and delete the resources.
However, based on your security privileges, you can also access the Manage Production Resources task in the Setup and Maintenance work area, by using the following:
-
Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management
-
Functional Area: Manufacturing Master Data
-
Task: Manage Production Resources
Create, Edit, and Delete Resources
You must create a resource with unique name and code. Additionally, you must define the resource type and usage UOM of the resource at the time of creation.
You cannot change the usage UOM of a resource once associated with a work center. You cannot edit the resource type when a resource instance is associated. However, you can edit all other resource attributes at any time. You can schedule a resource in a work definition and work orders only if the usage UOM belongs to the UOM class as defined in the profile SCM Common: Default Service Duration class.
A resource is deactivated or reactivated by updating the Inactive On field. When a resource is deactivated, it is not available for further use until reactivated. You can delete a resource only if the resource is not assigned to any work center.
