Overview of Outside Processing Features in Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud

To support outside processing, Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Management offers many capabilities and enables you to do the following:

• Differentiate between manufacturing operations that are processed in-house and those that are outsourced to suppliers.

• Create and manage standard operations of the type Supplier.

• Create and manage work definitions with supplier operations.

• Create and manage work orders with supplier operations.

• Schedule supplier operations based on the processing lead times maintained at the operation level.

• Trigger automatic creation of purchasing documents.

• Trigger generation of shipment lines for shipping and printing shipping documents such as packing slip, bill of lading that are required in outside processing.

• Record completed quantities at supplier operations after goods are received and delivered to Oracle Manufacturing.

• Manage and execute supplier operations with or without serialization-enabled manufacturing.

• Review supplier operation details, manage supply exceptions, and perform receipt-related returns and corrections.

• Manage demand side changes by automatically propagating work order changes referred to as demand side changes to the associated purchase orders.

• Manage supply side changes by logging supplier operation exceptions to notify changes to purchase orders.

Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Management helps improve operational efficiency in managing outside processing in many ways. Some of them are as follows:

• Provides enhanced visibility into supply chain execution by displaying purchasing, shipping, and receiving details for a supplier operation.

• Reduces the manual intervention required to manage supplier operations through automatic creation and approval of purchasing documents, shipment lines and progression of quantities at a supplier operation upon receipt.

• Enables increased responsiveness in managing demand and supply side changes by providing the ability to automatically propagate demand side changes and log exceptions to notify supply side exceptions.

• Provides better insight into outside processing costs through the display of receipt and cost accounting distributions at supplier operations.
