Work In Process Attribute Group
Following are the Work In Process attributes and their possible values. You set these attributes when defining or updating items.
Build in WIP
Indicate whether to create discrete jobs or repetitive assemblies in Oracle Work in Process. See: Defining Discrete Jobs Manually, and Defining Repetitive Schedules Manually, Oracle Work in Process User’s Guide.
This attribute must be turned off if the Inventory Item attribute is turned off or if the BOM Type attribute is not set to Standard. This attribute is optionally set by the Item Status code.
Supply Type
Select a supply type for components.
Push
Assembly pull
operational pull
Bulk
Supplier
Phantom
Supply Subinventory
This attribute is controlled at the Organization level only. Enter the primary subinventory from which to issue (push) or backflush (pull) an item to work in process.
Supply Locator
This attribute is controlled at the Organization level only. Enter the supply locator from which to issue (push) or backflush (pull) an item to work in process. You can also define a WIP supply locator for any bill that uses this item; the bill supply locator overrides the supply locator you define here. You must enter a WIP supply subinventory before you can enter a locator.
Overcompletion Tolerance Type
Select Percent or Amount, or leave the field blank. If you do not select an Overcompletion Tolerance Type, the tolerance defaults to the tolerance that you set at the organization level. If you did not set a tolerance at the organization level, the default is Null, which signifies that no over–completions are allowed.
Overcompletion Tolerance Value
The value for this attribute is the number value for the Overcompletion Tolerance Type that you selected. It determines the acceptable percent or quantity of assemblies that you will allow to be over–completed. For example, if you choose Percent as the Overcompletion Tolerance Type, and enter 100 as the Overcompletion Tolerance Value, you allow over–completions up to 100 percent of the original job or schedule quantity. If you did not select an Overcompletion Tolerance Type, you will not be able to enter a value in this field.
Scheduling Penalty Inventory Carry
Specify, in units per day, an Inventory Carry penalty for jobs that are not completed before they are scheduled to be finished. For example, the Inventory Carry penalty for a job that is not completed for an item might be 10 per day.
Scheduling Penalty Operation Slack
Specify, in units per day, the operation slack penalty for items having lag time between operations.
