How You Monitor, Manage, and Execute Supplier Operations in Manufacturing

Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing Service enables the monitoring of supplier operation quantities by dispatch status (In Process, Ready, Complete, Scrap, Reject) in the Manage Supplier Operation page.

The In Process dispatch status represents quantities in supplier operations that are completed in the previous count operation but haven't been received from the supplier after processing. When received, the quantities or serials are further managed in the Manage Supplier Operation page. You can complete, scrap, reject quantities using the Quick Complete and Complete with Details actions.

The Manage Supplier Operation page also provides visibility into supplier operation exceptions.

Additionally, for any supplier operation record, the Manage Supplier Operations page enables you to navigate to the work order details page and the Review Supplier Operation Details page.

You can print work order traveler and product labels directly from the Manage Supplier Operations page.

You can navigate to the Material Transactions page to report Original Equipment Manufacturer-supplied component usage.

Note: The Manage Supplier Operations page displays only Supplier Operation records.

For any given supplier operation, the Review Supplier Operation Details page enables you to monitor and review supplier operation details by:

  • Displaying the purchasing (such as requisitions and purchase orders), shipping and receiving details related to a supplier operation.

  • Providing links to review additional details of purchase orders, shipments and receipts.

The Review Supplier Operation Details page provides several actions for production supervisors to manage supply exceptions. These actions are conditionally enabled and allow production supervisors to do the following:

  • Initiate the creation of a purchase requisition in case of supply failures to fulfill the requirement for the deficit quantity.

  • Handle issues related to the quality and quantity of the goods delivered to Manufacturing with the ability to correct receipts, over receipts, and return quantities to supplier or receiving.

Note: For more information about Supplier Operations in Manufacturing, refer to the Manage Production chapter of the Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM: Using Manufacturing guide.
