Examples of Receiving and Putting Away Purchase Order Lines with In-House and External Ship-To Destinations

The following scenarios provide examples of receipt and put away of outside processing purchase order lines with a shop flow destination and an external ship-to location.

Receipt and Put Away of Outside Processing Purchase Order Lines with a Shop Floor Destination and an External Ship-To Location

In this scenario, an operator within Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing generates a work order to manufacture an assembly item with three operations, and two of the operations (second and third) are supplier operations at different suppliers. The prerequisites before you can process the work order are:

  • Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration creates a purchase requisition for the outside processing of the work order's supplier operation with the first supplier. The ship-to location is external, corresponding to the second supplier for the third operation

  • Oracle Purchasing approves the requisition and generates a standard purchase order for outside processing of the partially finished assembly at the first supplier for the work order with a direct routing. Also, Procurement approves a requisition and generates a purchase order for outside processing of the partially finished assembly at the second supplier for the work order with direct routing.

  • The work order progresses to complete the first operation for the full quantity.

  • Manufacturing calls on the supply chain orchestration process to ship the partially finished assembly by creating shipment requests. The supply chain orchestration process also communicates the shipment request details, including the work order details and the purchase order details, to Oracle Shipping.

  • A shipping user confirms from within Oracle Shipping the shipment of the partially finished assembly to the first outside processing supplier.

Oracle Receiving then:

  • Imports an advance shipment notice from the first supplier for shipping the partially finished assembly to the second supplier. This shipment is recognized as an outside processing purchase order line with an external ship-to location.

  • Automatically completes the receipt and delivery of the purchase order line to the shop floor against the work order.

The work order is now available for searching within Manufacturing to verify that the first supplier operation has completed.

Disallow Manual Receiving Purchase Order Lines with a Shop Floor Destination and an External Ship-To Location

In this example, the criteria is the same as the scenario above except that when the warehouse manager or receiving agent query the purchase order lines with a ship-to location, no results are retrieved. This is because purchase order lines for outside processing with an external ship-to location aren't available for selecting as the matching document. Match the unordered receipt to an outside processing purchase order line with an external ship-to location.
