Extend Supply Chain Orchestration's Integration with Manufacturing

Use a service mapping to help you integrate Oracle applications and meet your specific integration requirements in your back-to-back flow. Create a sales order in Order Management, orchestrate supply in Supply Chain Orchestration, then create a work order in Manufacturing.

You can also use a service mapping to integrate data that travels from Planning and Inventory, to Supply Chain Orchestration, and then to Manufacturing.

As an option, use an extensible flexfield to integrate data that's specific to your implementation.

Here's an example that illustrates how you can use a service mapping to display modified values for various attributes on the WorkOrderRequest entity.

Set Up

The set up that you do to integrate with Manufacturing is similar to the set up that you do to integrate with Procurement. So do the work described in Extend Supply Chain Orchestration's Integration With Procurement, but with these differences:

  • Enable the Use Service Mappings to Extend Supply Chain Orchestration's Integration with Manufacturing feature.
  • Select the flows that you need when you enable the feature.
    • Back-to-Back Make
    • Plan-To-Produce Make
    • MinMax Make
  • When you modify the mapping, modify ManufactureRequestSource instead of PurchaseRequestSource.

Notes

  • Make sure your integration can send the validations that Manufacturing applies. Your import payload might be fine, but Manufacturing might not accept the request. For example, if the Name attribute and Id attribute don't reference the same customer, then Manufacturing uses only Id.
  • Consider whether you need to map the same attribute differently for different flows. For example, Order Management ships supply to your customer in a back-to-back flow, but an internal material transfer might keep supply in an internal warehouse.
  • The plan-to-produce flow and the minimum-maximum flow might create supply orders that have a large number of lines. If you use these flows, then test your mapping to make sure it doesn't have a negative impact on performance.

Example

Here's an example service mapping that uses the WorkOrderRequest entity in the ManufactureRequestSource source.

Here's an example service mapping that uses the WorkOrderRequest entity in the ManufactureRequestSource source.

Here's what it does.

  • Sends a request to create a work order from Supply Chain Orchestration to Manufacturing
  • Uses the WorkOrderNumber attribute to send the work order number
  • Uses the AttributeNumber1 attribute to send the SupplyOrderReferenceId
