How You Manage Maintenance Standard Operations

Search for Maintenance Standard Operations

The Manage Maintenance Standard Operations page displays all the existing maintenance standard operations along with their details. You can use the Filter field to search for a specific standard operation or narrow down the list of standard operation to be displayed.

The following are some key usage points for the search feature:

You can search for a standard operation using the name, code, description, work center, work center code, or supplier information of the standard operation.
You can select or deselect the Include inactive operations check box to include or exclude the standard operations that are inactive.

Create Maintenance Standard Operations

Use the Create Standard Operation dialog box to specify the operation details and add resources to create a standard operation. The Create Standard Operation dialog box is accessible from the Manage Maintenance Standard Operations page when you click the Add icon.

These attributes are available for specifying the operation details when creating a maintenance standard operation.

Attribute	Description
Operation Type	The type of the maintenance standard operation. The valid values are In-House and Supplier.
Name	The name of the maintenance standard operation.
Code	The code that uniquely identifies the maintenance standard operation. This code must be unique within the organization. The standard operation code can't be updated when the standard operation is being used in a work definition or a work order.
Description	The description of the maintenance standard operation.
Work Center	The name of the work center to which the maintenance standard operation is to be associated. Only the active work centers can be assigned to an operation.
Work Center Code	The unique code of the work center to which the maintenance standard operation is to be associated. The value is automatically derived based on the selected work center.
Work Center Description	The description of the work center to which the maintenance standard operation is to be associated. The value is automatically derived based on the selected work center.
Count point	Indicator whether the maintenance standard operation completion must be explicitly reported. The Count point and Automatically transact attributes are mutually exclusive.
Automatically transact	Indicator whether the maintenance standard operation is automatically completed, the pull components are backflushed, and the resources are automatically charged when the next count point operation is completed. The Count point and Automatically transact attributes are mutually exclusive.
Inactive Date	The date on which the maintenance standard operation becomes inactive.
Attachments	The attachments of type file, text, or URL in the maintenance standard operation. Note: The attachments are automatically inherited by the work definition or the work order when a standard operation is selected. They can't be edited once associated and are displayed in the details for each work order operation in execution.
Default for automatic work definition	Automatic work definitions are applicable for only discrete manufacturing. Always leave the value as unchecked.
Additional Manual Material Issue	Controls if you can issue additional materials that aren't defined in the work order with supply type of push. Additionally, it controls if you can manually issue quantities greater than those specified in the work order. The values are Allow, and Do not allow.
Completions with Under Issues	Controls if you can complete an operation when materials with push supply type haven't been issued. The values are Allow, Allow with warning, and Do not allow.
Completions with Open Exceptions	Controls if you can complete an operation if there are any open exceptions. The possible values are Allow, Allow with warning, and Do not allow.

If your operation is a supplier operation, you specify some details in the Supplier Operations Details region of the Create Standard Operation dialog box:

Attribute	Description
Outside Processing Item	An item that represents the value added service being performed on the assembly in outside processing. The item is defined in Oracle Fusion Product Information Management. If the finished goods item is a dual units of measure item, which means the Tracking Unit of Measure is set to primary and secondary, then the outside processing item should be defined as a dual units of measure item as well. For more information about setting up items for outside processing, refer to the Implementing Outside Processing chapter in the Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud Implementing Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management Guide. Note: You can update the outside processing attributes of the supplier operation only if the Work Order Status is Unreleased, or On Hold (without release date). Note: You can't add an outside processing item as a component to an operation.
Item Description	The description of the outside processing item.
Supplier	The supplier associated with the work order operation.
Supplier Site	The location of the supplier associated with the standard operation

In the Resources region of the Create Standard Operation dialog box, you can add the required resources by clicking the add icon. This section is applicable only for in-house operations.

Here are the details you can specify for resource when you create a maintenance standard operation.

Attribute	Description
Sequence	The resource sequence of the standard operation resource. You can repeat a resource sequence to indicate the simultaneous resources.
Resource	The name of the resource. The associated resources must pertain to the designated standard operation work center and be active.
Units Assigned	The number of assigned resources. The assigned units can't exceed the available units for the resource as defined in the work center resource availability definition.
Basis	The valid values are: Fixed and Variable. Select Fixed if the resource usage is fixed per product quantity produced. Select Variable if the resource usage varies with the product quantity produced.
Usage	The usage amount of the standard operation resource.
Inverse Usage	Inverse Usage = 1 / Usage If you specify the Usage field, then the Inverse Usage field is calculated automatically. Similarly, if you specify the Inverse Usage field, then the Usage field is calculated automatically.
UOM Name	The usage unit of measure as defined in the resource definition. This is a read only field inherited from the resource definition.
Scheduled	The indicator that the resource is a scheduled resource. A resource can be scheduled if the Resource UOM belongs to the UOM class defined in the profile option RCS_DEFAULT_UOM_SRVICE_DURATION_CLASS.
Principal	The indicator that a resource is the principal resource within a group of simultaneous resources. The simultaneous resources must have only one resource designated as principal resource.
Charge Type	The valid values are: Automatic and Manual.
Job Profile	The job profile for a labor resource. A job profile comprised of a set of qualifications that are required for an operator to perform a job. When a job profile is specified for an operation resource, then only those labor resource instances that meet the qualifications can perform the operation.
Equipment Profile	The equipment profile for an equipment resource. An equipment profile specifies the set of qualification requirements that an equipment must possess when performing operations in manufacturing. When an equipment profile is specified for an operation resource, then only those equipment resource instances that meet the qualifications can perform the operation. You set up the profile, requirements, and asset qualifications in Oracle Maintenance.
Resource Code	The code of the resource. This is a read-only field and the value is inherited from the resource definition.
Activity	The predefined values are: Setup, Run, and Tear Down. The lookup can be configured by adding new values.
Costing enabled	The indicator that the resource cost is charged to the work order. This is a read only field inherited from the resource definition.
Inactive On	The date on which the resource becomes inactive.
Attachments	Attachments of type file, text, or URL in the resource.
Alternates	Alternate resources are defined in this region.

In the Resources region of the Create Standard Operation dialog box, you can add the required resources by clicking the add icon. This section is applicable only for in-house operations.

Here are the details you can specify for resource when you create a maintenance standard operation.

In the Additional Attributes show and hide region, you can optionally define repair codes that will persist to Maintenance Work Orders for use in Supplier Warranty and reporting using OTBI. The codes are defined as Condition Event Codes and are selected based on their code type.

Reason for Repair Code – describes the reason why the asset is being repaired.
- Define using a Condition Code type of “Reason for repair code”
- Examples may include Breakdown, Preventative Maintenance or Warranty
Repair Transaction Code – describes the System, Assembly and Component being repaired on an asset
- Define using a Condition Code type of “Transaction code”
- Examples may include standard industry coding such as Vehicle Maintenance Reporting Standards (VMRS) or similar taxonomies
Work to Be Accomplished Code – describes the activity that was used to repair the asset.
- Define using a Condition Code type of “Work accomplished code”
- Examples may include Clean, Repair or Replace

The codes will not be viewable in a Work Definition. However, when a Maintenance Work Order is created, the codes will persist to the Operation Header and each Resource. They can be optionally edited in the Work Order and will persist to the Resource Transactions, as well as Warranty Claims and Entitlements.

Editing Maintenance Standard Operations

You can edit a maintenance standard operation in the Edit Standard Operation dialog box. In the Manage Maintenance Standard Operations page, click the name of the standard operation that you want to edit.

In the Edit Standard Operation dialog box, you can edit the following standard operation details:

You can edit the following attributes: Name, Code, Description, Inactive Date, and Attachments.
You can edit the Work Center attribute only if there are no resources associated with the standard operation.

Deleting Maintenance Standard Operations

You can delete a standard operation on the Manage Standard Operations page. However, you can't delete a standard operation if it's referenced in any of the work definitions or work orders.
