How You Add and Edit Operation Items

You can add and edit operation items in the Edit Operation Items dialog box. To open the Edit Operation Items dialog box, click the Items link of the operation on the Operations tab of the Edit Work Order page. Alternately, select the operation and then from the Edit icon menu, select: Edit Operation Items.

In the Edit Operation Items dialog box, in the Operation field, you can select the operation for which you're adding or editing the operation items.

When adding an item, you can decide if the item comes from the item repository or an asset parts list. Clicking the icon that allows the search and selection of an item from an asset parts list opens the Search Parts List for Asset dialog. Optionally, you can set a profile option that displays all the items from the work order asset's parts list. The ORA_CSE_AUTO_QUERY_PARTS_LIST profile can be set to support this automatic return of the parts list items.

The following are the operation item attributes:

Attribute	Description
Sequence	The material sequence of the operation item. The value must be unique in an operation.
Item	The name of the item.
Description	The description of the item.
Required Quantity	The quantity of the operation item required in an operation.
UOM	The unit of measure of the operation item.
Required Date	The date and time on the material is required.
Supply Type	Controls how the materials are supplied to the work orders. The valid values are: Assembly Pull, Operation Pull, Push, Phantom, Bulk, and Supplier. If the work order is created based on a work definition, then the supply type is defaulted to Based on Work Definition. This means the supply type for each item will come from the operation item’s definition. All items manually added to an operation will be defaulted to the supply type from the item setup as defined in the Product Information Management. If not defined in the item setup, then the supply type is defaulted to Push. If the work order isn't created based on a Work Definition, then the supply type is defaulted to Push. It can then be manually updated to another value. The default supply type will then be used default the supply type for items manually added to an operation. You can define and update the supply type value prior to release: Assembly pull: The material is backflushed when the product is completed into inventory. This is primarily used for manufacturing. Operation pull: The material is backflushed when a subsequent count point operation is completed. This is primarily used formMaintenance when a known or expected quantity of material will be consumed in an operation step. Therefore, manual reporting is not required, and these materials will not be displayed in the material transactions page accessible from an operation in the Dispatch List. For non-serialized items and non-lot-controlled items, you can optionally use the Quick Complete option to report the material transactions based off the pre-defined item quantity. Alternatively, for serialized items or anytime the expected quantity needs to be updated, you can use the Complete with Details flow to report the material transactions. Push: The material is manually issued and must be manually reported. This is primarily used for maintenance when an unknown quantity of material that may be optionally consumed in an operation step. If consumed, then these materials require manual reporting in the material transactions page that is accessible from an operation in the Dispatch List. These materials will not be displayed in the Complete with Details flow and wouldn't be considered by the Quick Complete flow. Bulk: Bulk materials requirement can be viewed. These materials aren't automatically backflushed or defaulted while manually issuing the materials. Supplier: Represents the materials supplied by supplier. These materials aren't automatically backflushed or defaulted while manually issuing the materials. These are typically used for Outside Processing.
Supply Subinventory	The supply subinventory from which the material is supplied. The hierarchy to default the supply subinventory is in the following order: work definition, item definition, plant parameter. You can update the default value.
Supply Locator	The supply locator from which the material is supplied. The hierarchy to default the supply locator is in the following order: work definition, item definition, plant parameter. You can update the default value.
Attachments	The attachments in the operation item. It can be of file, text, or URL type.
