How You Prioritize Work Orders with Ready to Build Items

The Ready to Build Quantity value of a supply order represents the quantity of the supply order that can be built using only on-hand supplies of components.

You can estimate the supply quantity that can be built using the pegged, on-hand components of the supply. You can decide which orders are ready to work upon and which orders you need to wait for the components to be available.

The planning process uses the Ready to Build Quantity to calculate the Ready to Build Percentage.

Ready to Build Percentage = Ready to Build Quantity divided by Supply Quantity

The Ready to Build Quantity uses the Consider in Clear-to-Build item attribute to determine the components that participate in the ready to build calculation for assembly items. Consider in Clear-to-Build is an item attribute which you must specify in the Items page. If you set this attribute to Yes for specific components, the calculations will consider only those components for Ready to Build calculations of the assembly items. If you set this attribute to No, those specific components don't affect the Ready to Build calculations of the assembly item.

For the component items that you want to include in the Ready to Build calculation of assembly items, you must first set the Consider in Clear-to-Build attribute to Yes in the Items page. This attribute isn't available in Oracle Product Information Management. You must set this attribute in a plan or within a simulation set.

Ready to Build Quantity and Ready to Build Percentage are calculated for supplies of Make items only. Also, the Ready to Build Quantity and Ready to Build Percentage fields are available in the Supply Planning and Demand and Supply Planning work areas. These fields aren't available in the Planning Central work area.
