Orchestrate Work Orders

Supply Chain Orchestration uses a make flow to create a work order. A work order is a set of instructions that your manufacturer uses to create the item that your supply order requests.

Here's how it works.

1. Supply Chain Orchestration receives a supply request from Order Management, Inventory Min-Max, or Planning.

2. Decomposition processes the request.

3. Orchestration creates a supply order.

4. A task creates a request to create the work order.

5. The interface sends the supply request to Oracle Manufacturing.

6. Manufacturing creates and tracks the work order.

7. The Overview page in the Supply Orchestration work area displays any exceptions that happen.

Back-to-Back

Orchestration can create a work order to support a back-to-back flow for a sales order in Order Management. It creates and reserves the work order for a single sales order. Contract manufacturing affects work order usage.

Contract Manufacturing	Description
Yes	Uses the work order to track production in the contract manufacturer's facility.
No	Uses the work order to fulfill the sales order in the manufacturer's own facility.

Change and Cancel

Change might include a change in dates or quantity.

• Orchestration might create more than one tracking line to manage demand change that happens during a back-to-back flow or with contract manufacturing.

• If a rejection happens, then Orchestration doesn't modify the original tracking line, but it does create a new tracking line for the rejected quantity.

• If an exception happens, you can manually place a work order on hold while you resolve the exception.
