Overview of Production Execution Tasks (Classic)

Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing offers several features that facilitate the work order based and orderless production executions for discrete manufacturing. For process manufacturing, work order based execution is supported. The production reporting is simplified by enabling you to report the production transactions in just two clicks.

You can use the Work Execution work area to complete all tasks related to production execution if you've been assigned a job role your enterprise uses for production operator work.

For work order-based execution, you can use the dispatch list that provides all the information that a production operator requires to perform the tasks. You can use the dispatch list to report the material, operation, and resource transactions from one single location. You can review the work order details and attachments and print the work order travelers and product labels. If the next operation is delayed for want of resources or materials, you can also resequence a subsequent operation to be executed next to avoid such delays to make further progress. For process work orders you can also report output transactions. You can also initiate inspections from the dispatch list for a work order operation.

You can report the material and resource usages automatically or manually. The material and resource transactions can be reported based on the work order requirements or actual usage. The serial tracked manufacturing supported for discrete manufacturing enables you to report material and operation transactions by product serials that are associated with the work order. The lean manufacturing is supported by enabling you to report orderless production activities without creating any work orders in discrete manufacturing. The orderless transactions are reported by referencing a discrete work definition. You can review the work order based and orderless transactions that are reported by the shop floor personnel. For process work orders the output items can be reported automatically or manually in any operation.

The import feature is supported by enabling you to import the material, resource, operation, and orderless transactions using the file-based data import infrastructure. You can use the predefined macro enabled spreadsheet templates for performing an import. Additionally, the external applications can record the material and operation transactions in Manufacturing by using the publicly available web services. You can also import output transactions for process work orders. There are separate FBDI templates that you can use to import material and operation transaction for discrete and process work orders.

The descriptive flexfields (DFF) are supported for operation transactions, resource transactions, lot / serial attributes for products in complete with details and orderless transactions, and for output transactions. Lot / serial attributes are also supported for components. However, for components you can only view the lot attributes, but you can't edit them. If any of these DFF attributes are required, you must enter a value, else you can't save the transaction.
