How You Set Up Plant Parameters for Outside Processing

You must review and set up the Purchase Requisition Trigger plant parameter to determine when purchase requisitions are created for supplier operations of a work order for outside processing.

• If set to Work Order Release, purchase requisitions are created for all supplier operations of a work order when the work order is released.

• If set to Prior Operation Completion, purchase requisitions are created for a supplier operation of a work order when quantities are completed at the prior count point operation.

  If the supplier operation happens to be the first count point operation, then the purchase requisition for the supplier operation is created when the work order is released.

Note: For more information about setting up plant parameters for outside processing, refer to the Manufacturing chapter of the Oracle SCM Cloud Implementing Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management guide.
