How You Manage Work Definition Reports

You can access a work definition report from the Work Definition work area task panel. You can also access it from the Manage Work Definitions page. Using the Actions menu, you can print the work definition report in .pdf format instantly from the Oracle Manufacturing user interface in the following two ways:

• Manage Work Definitions page: Click the work definition version for which the report is to be generated.

• Edit Work Definition page: Generate a report for the edited version.

Additionally, from the work area task panel, the Scheduled Process Submission user interface for the report enables you to generate reports for various parameters. You can also access work definition report for multiple work definitions through a scheduled process.

A work definition report enables you to do the following:

• Provide the option for offline review, to ensure that the work definition has been set up correctly.

• Enable exchanging discrete work definition information offline, for example, with the contract manufacturer.

In a contract manufacturing organization, the work definition report has key milestone operations. The report is configured by default to print in a format most suitable for a Contract Manufacturer such as printing only milestone operations. This option is enabled by checking the Count Point Only indicator for the Operations. The report is attached to the Blanket Purchase Agreement and is communicated to the contract manufacturer.

The submission of the scheduled process can be performed through the Print Work Definition Report task in the Work Definition work area task panel.
