Routing Operation Descriptions

Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 7:16:47 -0400
From: steve.johnson@ametek.com
Subject: Routing Operation Descriptions

Hello,

Many of the Operation Masters in our legacy system contain long, very detailed routing operation instructions We are implementing Oracle Rel 11 and we understand that we are limited to 240 characters in our operation description This is a major data conversion issue for us Does Oracle have a place to put these long descriptions? If not, what did you do with your legacy data prior to conversion?

Thanks for any help

Richard,

If by "operation attachments" you mean attaching documents that reside outside Oracle (Excel, Word, Access,etc) yes we have considered that option

But creating and maintaining all those external, uncontrolled documents is not an acceptable option We really want a solution that utilizes Oracle functionality I have been told that the 240 character limitation is for the "operation description", and that there is a place to put operation "instructions" that is unlimited in size Am I hearing this correctly? It sounds like a possible solution

Thanks Steve

I wans thinking about standard oracle attachments; using clip paper icon.

You could link any kind of text or other document including images.

I never use that for routing operation, but it work find.

My first research on this topics show that Oracle did not provide a use of these text using standard oracle report.

By comparaison, in Item attachment can be printed automatically on the PO.

I hope it could help you

Description of new Production Item

Subject: 10.7 SC Procurement

When we have a new production item we load this into our legacy system and the information migrates over to Procurement etc and that all works just fine. However now we need to revise the item description. Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically get this change of the description to also come across the bridge? It is currently a manual function and it can be a time consuming pain. Thanks.

Re : Purchasing / Inventory Receiving Value Report By Destination Account

Has anyone used this report? If so, can anyone please tell me what is the objective of this report and what is the period tenure of this report?

When we run this report, we get "No Data Found" even after giving very open ended parameters.

TIA

I have not used this report, but here is the description from the online help:

The Receiving Value Report by Destination Account lists received items by purchase order destination and distribution account. If you accrue both inventory and expense at the time of receipt, you may have both inventory and expense as part of your receiving valuation account. The Receiving Value Report by Destination Account allocates your receiving balances by the purchase order line inventory, expense accounts, and quantities. You can then use this report to manually reclass the receiving valuation account to the appropriate expense accounts.

Hi

The notion of receiving is also what is in the receiving process.

Whe you are using the 2 step rceiving process, you have a fisrt stage where the goods are in control and not yet in the inventory.

This report show you the values related to these products.

Hi

This report gives information about the POs for which the receipt transactions are made but not yet delivered. Once you perform the delivery transaction this report shows no records. In essence this report gives as on date how much is yet to be delivered.

It can also be used to check the charge accounts to which you are going to deliver the material. If the charge accounts are wrong, you can go and rectify the charge accounts, re-approve them and deliver the goods.

UOM - different for sale and stock

From: "Steven C. Kondolf" skondolf@frontiernet.net
To: oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca
Subject: INV and OE: Sell vs. Stock UOM

Hello all -

We have been on Oracle Apps since 1996 and are currently on 10.7Char with plans to upgrade to 11 next year. We are also debating installing OE. Currently we have an in-house written OE package that interfaces with apps thru INV.

Our company sells many products by the gallon and each. Currently we stock these products by the case and that's the uom in INV. We're pretty sure our Marketing and Sales groups won't want to change their sell uom to case and our planning and inv groups really don't want to work at the gallon or each level. Does Oracle handle this type of situation so that we can sell at one uom and stock, plan and process at a different one. Do uom conversions come into play with OE? How do other companies handle this or is it pretty uncommon?

I'd appreciate any comments and suggestions regarding this.

Peace
Steve

Steve,

Yes, UOM conversions are used in OE. You can set up whatever types of conversions you need to deal with Purchased UOM, Selling UOM, Stocking UOM, etc.

Purge Items / BOMs / Routings

We are a new user and have never purged items . BOMS or Routings. We add 20,000 new ones per week that are only good for 30 -60 days. We need to purge but are afraid that there is not good documentation from ORACLE.

thanks

Subject: RE: Purge process - Items / BOMs / Routings

Hi

The purging of transaction history and associated accounting information can be done where the transaction date is before and including the purge date you enter and is in a closed period.

You should be extremely cautious when purging transaction information. Once you commit the process, Oracle Inventory removes all related information from the database. You cannot view or report on this information once you purge it. For example, you can no longer report purged information with the Accrual Reconciliation Report, the Transaction Register, and so on.

You may find the Delete Groups process is more appropriate to your requirements, where you delete items, BOM's and Routings that will not be used again, while the transaction history remains intact. In using this you will probably need to modify the Oracle seeded Delete constraints to allow deletion.

Intercompany Billing / Dropship supplier

From: Basanta Kumar Dash [SMTP:dashbk@hotmail.com]

Subject: Intercompany Billing

Hi All,

Here we have a scenario on intercompany billing. The scenario is as follows:

1. We have two different operating units and set of books
2. Operating unit 1 creates the sales order (selling org) and Operaring unit
2 ships the goods to customer (shipping org)
3. Operating unit 1 sends invoices to the customer and operating unit 2 sends invoices to operating unit 1 with a selling price that is different from operating unit 1 selling price to the end customer.

If anybody has implemented this scenario please share with me with the operational steps and accouting transactions in both the operating units. Both the operating units are profit making organizations.

Regards,
Basanta.

Basanta,

What release of Oracle Apps are you using? This sounds like a classic dropship supplier situation. Oracle V11 is set up to handle dropship poorly but somewhat automatically.

Basically, with dropship suppliers in V11 what happens is that:

1) You enter a new order
2) This order generates a Purchase Requisition
3) You convert the Requisition into a Purchase Order and send it to the supplier
4) You invoice your customer through Receivables
5) The supplier invoices you and you pay them through Payables

Intercompany transactions needs set ups to be done . some of which are define intercompany relationship between shipping and selling org also define ar invoce info ( customer , transaction type , sites etc ) define ap invoice info ( vendor , site ect ) . in Inv .

Create Intercompnay AP invoices and Create intercompany AR invoices automaticaly creates AP and AR invoices for you .

Hope this helps
