Discrete Manufacturing Sourced Inventory Transactions

Oracle Inventory Management interfaces with Oracle Discrete Manufacturing to process work in process (WIP) inventory transactions.

Here are the process flow steps for WIP inventory transactions:

  1. Discrete Manufacturing initiates the processing of WIP transactions.

  2. Discrete Manufacturing generates inventory transactions in the Inventory Interface tables.

  3. Discrete Manufacturing calls the Inventory Transaction Manager to process the WIP inventory transactions.

  4. Inventory Transaction Manager process returns a response to the Discrete Manufacturing application.

  5. Handling of WIP inventory transactions errors.

  6. Review completed inventory transactions.

Discrete Manufacturing Initiates the Processing of WIP Transactions

Discrete Manufacturing processes transactions within the WIP application. You can enter WIP transactions through user interfaces, or you can batch them in transaction tables and process them in a background mode.

Discrete Manufacturing Generates Inventory Transactions in the Inventory Interface Tables

Discrete Manufacturing determines which inventory transactions to pass to inventory, and then generates these transactions in the Inventory Transaction Interface tables. The transferred information includes core transaction details such as transaction type, inventory item, quantity, UOM, subinventory, locator, and so forth.

The interface supports these WIP transactions:

  • Work in Process Material Issue

  • Work in Process Material Return

  • Work in Process Product Completion

  • Work in Process Return

  • Work in Process Negative Material Issue

  • Work in Process Negative Material Return

Discrete Manufacturing Calls the Inventory Transaction Manager to Process WIP Transactions

Discrete Manufacturing initiates the processing of the Inventory Transaction Manager. This process validates WIP transactions, applies necessary options, and updates inventory tables. The process deletes transactions that pass validation from the inventory transaction interface tables and updates on-hand balances and lot and serial details in the core inventory tables.

Inventory Transaction Manager Returns a Response to Discrete Manufacturing

Once processing of designated transactions is complete, the Inventory Transactions Manager process returns either a success or failure status to the calling Discrete Manufacturing application.

Handling of WIP Inventory Transaction Errors

If an error is found, the calling application in Discrete Manufacturing makes the appropriate error message available to the user for resolution. Note that the transaction is cleared out of the inventory interface table and must be resolved in the Discrete Manufacturing application that originated the WIP inventory transaction. Once the error is resolved, the originating application can resubmit the transaction for processing.

Review Completed Inventory Transactions

You can view successfully processed inventory transactions using the Review Completed Inventory Transactions user interface.
