Item Work in Process Specifications
The following are the Item Work in Process specification attributes and their possible values. You set these attributes when you define or update items.
Item Work in Process Specification Attributes
| Attribute Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Build in WIP | Indicate whether to create discrete jobs or repetitive
assemblies. This attribute must be disabled if the Inventory Item attribute is disabled or if the Structure Item Type attribute is not set to Standard. This attribute is optionally set by the item status code. |
| Inventory Carrying Penalty | Specify, in units per day, an inventory carry penalty for jobs that are not completed
before they are scheduled to be finished. For example, the inventory carry penalty for a
job that is not completed for an item might be 10 per day. Note: This attribute is no
longer used in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. |
| Locator | Enter the supply locator from which to issue (push) or backflush (pull) an item to work in process. You can also define a WIP supply locator for any bill that uses this item; the bill supply locator overrides the supply locator you define here. You must enter a WIP supply subinventory before you can enter a locator. |
| Operation Slack | Indicate, in units per day, the operation slack penalty for items having
lag time between operations. Note: This attribute is no longer used in
Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications.
|
| Supply Subinventory | Enter the primary subinventory from which to issue (push) or backflush (pull) an item to work in process. |
| Tolerance Type | Specify the tolerance type for overcompletion or undercompletion as
either percentage, quantity, or leave the field blank. This will be used as
the default value when a work order is created for this item in Oracle
Fusion Cloud SCM. If you do not select the tolerance type, the tolerance defaults to the tolerance that you set at the organization level. If you din't set a tolerance at the organization level, the default is Null, which signifies that overcompletions or undercompletions aren't allowed. |
| Tolerance Value | Specify the tolerance value for the selected tolerance type. It determines the acceptable percent or quantity of assemblies that you allow to be overcompleted or undercompleted. For example, if you choose Percent as the Tolerance Type, and enter 100 as the Tolerance Value, you allow overcompletions or undercompletions up to 100 percent of the original job or schedule quantity. |
| Type | Indicate a supply type for components. Choices are:
