How You Set Up Manufacturing

To set up Oracle Fusion Manufacturing, you perform the setup tasks specified in the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management offering on the Setup and Maintenance work area.

Manufacturing is an optional functional area in the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management Offering, and must be selected for implementing Oracle Fusion Manufacturing. The Manufacturing functional area consists of the following hierarchy:

• Manufacturing Master Data

• Structures

This topic lists the manufacturing setup tasks under the following three categories:

• Manufacturing Master Data Functional Area

• Structures Functional Area

• Common Setup Tasks

Manufacturing Master Data Functional Area

There are some tasks that may be included in the Manufacturing Master Data functional area, and if the tasks are required or optional. For more information about adding tasks to the Manufacturing Master Data functional area, see Implementing Manufacturing chapter of the Implementing Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management guide.

The following table describes some tasks in the Manufacturing Master Data functional area with their descriptions and whether the tasks are required or optional:

Task	Required or Optional	Description
Manage Plant Parameters	Required	Configure parameters at a plant level that are relevant to manufacturing setup, work definition, and work execution.
Manage Production Lookups	Optional	Create and maintain lookups that are used in manufacturing setup, work definition, and work execution.
Manage Work Areas	Required	Create and maintain work areas to represent the specific regions in the plant where work activities are executed.
Manage Work Centers	Required	Create and maintain work centers to represent the grouping of resources where work is performed and is composed of resources having similar capabilities.
Manage Production Resources	Optional	Create and maintain resources to model the labor or equipment and to track their usages during production execution.
Manage Manufacturing Plant Data Access for Users	Required	Manage manufacturing plant data access for user provisioned roles. Note: Although you're required to provide data access to the manufacturing plant, you can follow the common procedure to do so.

The setup tasks specified in the Manufacturing Master Data functional area that don't require specific setup for manufacturing are listed under the Common Tasks section.

Structures Functional Area

None of the setup tasks specified in the Structures functional area require any specific setup for manufacturing. So they're listed under the Common Tasks section.

Note: Item structure is currently supported for only the discrete manufacturing work method.

Common Tasks

Some tasks are included in the Manufacturing Master Data or Structures functional area, but don't require specific setup for manufacturing:

The following table lists the tasks in the Manufacturing Master Data functional area which require no specific setup:

Task	Required or Optional	Description
Manage Plant Profiles	Required	Review and maintain profile values for manufacturing facilities.
Manage Production Value Sets	Optional	Create and maintain production value sets.
Manage Work Setup Descriptive Flexfields	Optional	Define validation and display properties of the descriptive flexfields for work setup. Descriptive flexfields are used to add user-defined attributes to entities.
Manage Work Execution Descriptive Flexfields	Optional	Define validation and display properties of the descriptive flexfields for work execution. Descriptive flexfields are used to add user-defined attributes to entities.
Manage Enterprise Scheduler Jobs for Manufacturing Applications	Optional	Manage Oracle Enterprise Scheduler jobs and their list of value sources for the Manufacturing applications.
Define Basic Product Structures	Optional	Create and edit structures for the items.
Manage Structure Header Descriptive Flexfields	Optional	Create and edit item structure type descriptive flexfield attributes.
Manage Item Structure Type Details	Optional	Create and edit structure type details.

Genealogy Build Deferred During Execution	Optional	Specify whether the product genealogy is built online immediately or you can decide to defer it. It has two values of Yes and No with the default value being No. The profile value can be set up only at site level.

These tasks are common to any Oracle Cloud application. Manufacturing doesn't require any specific setup for them, so you can follow the instructions that you use to perform them for any Oracle application. For details about how to perform them, refer to the Implementing Common Features for SCM guide.

Note: None of the setup tasks specified in the Structures functional area require any specific setup for manufacturing. So they're listed under the Common Tasks section.

Enable Genealogy Build Deferred During Execution

To improve the performance of Genealogy, some modifications have been made. A new profile has been introduced. The profile name is Genealogy Build Deferred During Execution (Code: ORA_WIE_DEFER_GENEALOGY_BUILD). You have to specify whether the build of product genealogy is deferred. If it's not deferred, then genealogy builds at the same time as the transaction.

To enable Genealogy Build Deferred During Execution, perform the following steps.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the following:

   • Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management

   • Task: Manage Administrator Profile Values

2. In the Profile Option Code field, query for the option Genealogy Build Deferred During Execution (Code: ORA_WIE_DEFER_GENEALOGY_BUILD).

Using this profile, you can specify whether the product genealogy is built online immediately or you can decide to defer it. It has two values, Yes and No, with the default value being No. The profile value can be set up only at site level.

• If you set the profile value to No, genealogy details are interfaced to the genealogy repository immediately and genealogy builds at the same time as the transaction.

• If you set the profile value to Yes, genealogy will be not be built immediately. The related transaction records will be available in the interface. You must schedule the Retry in-Error Genealogy Transactions scheduled process at an appropriate time to resubmit the records for processing and build genealogy. After the genealogy is built, the records are removed from the interface.

Enable Audit Trail for Manufacturing Work Orders

If you're an application administrator, you can enable audit trail for manufacturing work orders to comply with US Code of Federal Regulations (CFR 21 Part 11) for electronic record and electronic signature requirements. By doing so, you let your internal and external auditors have more visibility of the work order change history.

Here's how you can enable audit trail for discrete or process manufacturing work orders.

1. Click Navigator, and then click Setup and Maintenance.

2. On the Setup page, select the Manufacturing Supply Chain and Materials Management offering.

3. Search for the Manage Audit Policies task.

4. On the Manage Audit Policies page, click Configure Business Object Attributes.

5. On the Configure Business Object Attributes page, select the Common Work Execution product to view the work order object.

6. Select the check box for the work order objects to enable audit trail.

7. Select the check boxes for all or any of the child objects for audit. The attributes of that selected object, enabled for audit displays. The key attributes of each object are available by default.

8. Click Create in the Audited Attributes section which is displayed on the right side of the page to add more attributes.

9. Click Save if you want to add more attributes to your configuration to enable auditing, or click Save and Close if you're done.

View Audit Reports for Manufacturing Work Orders

Here's how you can view the audit reports for manufacturing work orders and you must have the internal auditor role to view the audit reports.

1. Click Navigator, and then click Audit Reports.

2. Select the Common Work Execution product and Work Order business object type and enter the date or date range.

3. Enter the work order number that needs to be audited in the Description field.

4. Select Include Child Objects if you want to see the work order child objects in the audit report, and click Search.

Here are the sample values you can enter in the Description field to get the audit report.

Search Text	Results

Set Up a Manufacturing Plant

The manufacturing plant parameters are analogous to system parameters and they enable you to specify various functionality of a manufacturing plant. Before setting up the plant parameters, you must set the organization as the manufacturing plant.

Setting a Manufacturing Plant

A manufacturing plant is a type of inventory organization and can be further categorized into: in-house manufacturing plant and contract manufacturing plant.

To set an organization as a manufacturing plant, perform the following steps:

1. In the Manage Inventory Organizations page, select an existing organization or create a new one from the Search Results region. Then, click the Manage Inventory Organization Parameters button to edit the organization settings.

2. In the Manage Inventory Organization Parameters page,

   • Select the Organization is a manufacturing plant check box to set an organization as in-house manufacturing plant.

   • Select the Organization represents a contract manufacturer check box to set an organization as contract manufacturing organization.

Note: If the organization is set as a contract manufacturing plant, you must also provide the supplier and supplier site information for the plant.

Note: If the organization needs to track on hand balances by the country of origin, you must select Enable Tracking by Country of Origin.

Setting the Manufacturing Plant Parameters

Once an organization is set as manufacturing plant, you can set the parameters that determine each functionality of the plant.

Considerations for Setting Up Lookups for Manufacturing

Lookups in applications are used to represent a set of codes and their translated meanings. For instruction on setting up lookups that are common to any Oracle application, refer to the Implementing Common Features for SCM guide, Define Applications Core Configuration chapter.

In addition to the common lookups, Oracle Fusion Manufacturing uses some specific lookups.

The following table lists the lookups specific to Oracle Fusion Manufacturing and descriptions of the lookup codes which you can populate accordingly:

Lookup Name	Lookup Code	Description
Resource Class	ORA_WIS_RESOURCE_CLASS	Enables you to group resources into resource group for the planning activities.
Work Center Resource Group	ORA_WIS_WC_RESOURCE_GROUP	Enables you to group resources for the work center planning activities.
Work Order Operation Transaction Reason Codes	ORA_WIE_REASON_CODE	Captures the reason codes for scrap and reject transactions.
Work Order Sub Type	ORA_WIE_WO_SUB_TYPE	Captures the work order subtype that describes the specific nature of work being performed. The predefined values are Standard Production, Prototype, Repair, Pilot Lot, and Test Lot. You can add additional lookup values as needed.
Work Definition Operation Resource Activity	ORA_WIS_RESOURCE_ACTIVITY	Captures the activity name of the work definition operation resource. The predefined values are Setup, Run, and Tear Down. You can add additional lookup values as needed.

How You Manage Work Areas

A work area is a specific region in the manufacturing plant where you execute production activities. The work area is a physical, geographical, or logical grouping of work centers.

Here's an illustration of how work areas relate to manufacturing plants and work centers.

Figure 2 An illustration of how work areas relate to manufacturing plants and work centers.

As a manufacturing engineer, you must define at least one work area for a manufacturing plant and at least one work center for each work area. Use the Manage Work Areas page to create, edit, and delete work areas.

A production operator can report material, resource, and operation transactions performed at work centers that belong to a specific work area.

Navigate to the Manage Work Areas page using one of two ways:

• Click Navigator > Work Definition.

  In the Tasks pane, select Manage Work Areas.

• Click Navigator > Setup and Maintenance.

  • Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management

  • Functional Area: Manufacturing Master Data

  • Task: Manage Work Areas

• Overview of Manufacturing Plants

How You Manage Resources

Resources are people, machines, and tools allocated to a work center. Resources are of two types:

• Labor

• Equipment

As a manufacturing engineer, you can search for, create, edit, and delete the resources using the Manage Resources page.

Navigate to the Manage Resources page using one of two paths:

• Click Navigator > Work Definition.

  In the Tasks pane, select Manage Work Areas.

• Click Navigator > Setup and Maintenance.

  • Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management

  • Functional Area: Manufacturing Master Data

  • Task: Manage Production Resources

Here's an illustration of how the resources and resource instances associate to a work center.

Figure 3 An illustration of how the resources and resource instances associate to a work center.

You can schedule a resource in a work definition and work order if the usage UOM belongs to the UOM class as defined in the profile SCM Common: Default Service Duration Class (RCS_DEFAULT_UOM_SERVICE_DURATION_CLASS). For any scheduled resource, it's recommended that this profile be set to a UOM class that represents units of measure for Time.

Resource Instances

Resource instances are granular representations of a resource in the Manufacturing application. One or more resource instances can be associated to a resource. You can identify a resource by a unique code known as the identifier, and a name.

You can also optionally assign a primary work center to the resource instance to identify the department or location that the resource instance primarily works in.

Tip: Assigning a primary work center to a resource instance helps in quick assignment of the resource instance in work orders and work execution transactions.

You can deactivate or reactivate a resource instance by updating the Inactive On field. When a resource instance is deactivated, it's not available for further use until reactivated. You can delete a resource instance only if it's not used in work execution.

Associate Labor Resource Instances

A labor resource instance represents the names of actual people working in the manufacturing shop floor. A labor resource instance can be optionally associated to a person record available in the Oracle Trading Community Architecture. Such associations are unique within a plant.

Note: Oracle Trading Community Architecture represents a repository of person and organization parties identified through their party usages. Manufacturing allows the subset of Oracle Trading Community Architecture person party records to assign person type resource instances.

Person types in Oracle Trading Community Architecture that can be associated to a resource instance and can be any of the following:

• Employee

• Contingent Worker

• Partner Contact

You can define persons of types Employees or Contingent Workers in Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) and are automatically propagated to the Oracle Trading Community Architecture through the HCM- Oracle Trading Community Architecture auto-sync process.

You can set up persons of type Partner Contact in the Oracle CRM application, which are automatically available in the Oracle Trading Community Architecture.

Associate Equipment Resource Instances

An equipment resource instance represents the names of actual machines being used in the manufacturing shop floor. An equipment resource instance can optionally associated to an Asset Number defined in Maintenance Cloud. Such associations are unique within a plant.

Assets must be defined in a location corresponding to the plant and a location type work center in order to be eligible for association to the equipment resource instance.

Use the IoT Insights icon provided in the Equipment Resource Instances region, to drill down to the Machine Summary view in IoT Production Monitoring Cloud to view machine performance, real time sensor data, and insights into analytics, anomalies, predictions, and trends.

• Overview of Manufacturing Plants

How You Manage Work Centers

Work centers are specific production units that consist of people or equipment. You can associate each work center with an active work area.

As a manufacturing engineer, here's what you can do using the Manage Work Centers page in the Work Definition work area:

• Create, edit, and delete work centers

• Add resources to a work center and allocate resources to different shifts

• View and manage exceptions associated to the resources

Navigate to the Manage Work Centers page using one of two paths:

• Click Navigator > Work Definition.

  In the Tasks pane, select Manage Work Centers.

• Click Navigator > Setup and Maintenance.

  • Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management

  • Functional Area: Manufacturing Master Data

  • Task: Manage Work Centers

• How You Manage Work Center Resource Calendars

• Create a Resource Exception

• Overview of Manufacturing Plants

How You Manage Work Order Statuses

If you're a production controller or supervisor, you can define and update work order statuses to support enterprise-specific business processes. To do so, use the Manage Work Order Statuses page. Here are two ways to find the page:

• In the Tasks pane of the Setup and Maintenance work area, click the Manage Work Order Statuses task.

• In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use this path:

• Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management

• Functional Area: Manufacturing Master Data

• Task: Manage Manufacturing and Maintenance Work Order Statuses

A work order status can be either predefined or user-defined. Here are the predefined statuses:

• Unreleased

• Released

• On Hold

• Completed

• Closed

• Canceled

Define a New Work Order Status

To define a new status, click the Add icon. You must provide a unique name and code for the status, and associate it to a system status. For example, you can define the new status Materials_Unrel, and associate it to the system status Unreleased. This helps you sort, manage, and report work orders more effectively.

Note: You must name the new status in a way that the user understands which system status it's associated to. You can add a prefix or a suffix of the system status. For example, you can use the name UNREL_MATERIAL_UNRELEASED to indicate that the new status is associated to the system status Unreleased.

Edit a User-Defined Work Order Status

You can only update the Name and Description attributes for both system statuses and user-defined statuses. For a user-defined status, you can't update the Code and System Status attributes.

Note: It's recommended to not update the name of the system status. However, if you want to, you must do it in a way that the user can understand and associate it to the original name of the system status.

How You Set Up IoT Production Monitoring Cloud

In Oracle Fusion Applications Cloud, use the Setup and Maintenance work area to set up Application Integration.

1. Click Navigator > Setup and Maintenance.

   • Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management

   • Functional Area: Manufacturing Master Data

   • Task: Manage Setup Content

   • Task: Manage Integration of Additional Applications

   • Here are the steps to create a new entry.

     • Application Name and Partner name must be IoT Production Monitoring

     • Enter the Full URL field with the IoT Production Monitoring cloud server url in the format http://abc.xyz.com

     • Select Security policy oracle/wss_http_token_over_ssl_client_policy

     • Enter the login credentials of the IoT Production Monitoring Cloud application.

2. In Oracle Fusion Applications Cloud, use the Setup and Maintenance work area to navigate to the Manage Plant Parameters task and select the check box Enable synchronization to IoT Production Monitoring to enable integration with IoT Production Monitoring for the specific manufacturing plant.

3. In the IoT Production Monitoring Cloud > App Settings > Configuration > Settings to set up the end point URL and other details required to integrate with the Manufacturing application.

Note: IoT integration is currently supported for only discrete manufacturing work orders and the equipment resource instances referenced in those work orders.

Initial Data Synchronization

If you want to enable an existing manufacturing plant which has some data already defined, then you must first run the scheduled process Synchronize with IoT Production Monitoring Cloud in Initial Data Synchronization mode. This will synchronize all active resources, all active resource instances, and all open work orders to the IoT Production Monitoring Cloud. This program needs to run only once in order to populate your IoT Production Monitoring cloud environment with the existing manufacturing data.

How You Upload Work Definition and Work Definition Operation Attachments Using a SOAP Service

This topic provides specifics for uptaking the ERP Object Attachment SOAP service for the manufacturing business entities work definition and work definition operation.

You can use the ERP Object Attachment SOAP service to perform an automatic, mass upload of attachments for discrete and process manufacturing work definitions. You specify the input parameters for the payload of this service to upload attachments to existing work definitions at the header or operation levels.

Note: To get started, refer to information provided in the Oracle Financials Cloud SOAP Web Services for Financials guide.
