Orchestrate Work Orders
Supply Chain Orchestration uses a make flow to create a work order. A work order is a set of instructions that your manufacturer uses to create the item that your supply order requests.
Here's how it works.
-
Supply Chain Orchestration receives a supply request from Order Management, Inventory Min-Max, or Planning.
-
Decomposition processes the request.
-
Orchestration creates a supply order.
-
A task creates a request to create the work order.
-
The interface sends the supply request to Oracle Manufacturing.
-
Manufacturing creates and tracks the work order.
-
The Overview page in the Supply Orchestration work area displays any exceptions that happen.
Back-to-Back
Orchestration can create a work order to support a back-to-back flow for a sales order in Order Management. It creates and reserves the work order for a single sales order. Contract manufacturing affects work order usage.
Contract Manufacturing |
Description |
---|---|

Change and Cancel
Change might include a change in dates or quantity.
-
Orchestration might create more than one tracking line to manage demand change that happens during a back-to-back flow or with contract manufacturing.
-
If a rejection happens, then Orchestration doesn't modify the original tracking line, but it does create a new tracking line for the rejected quantity.
-
If an exception happens, you can manually place a work order on hold while you resolve the exception.
