Oracle Manufacturing enables you to define options available for products and to process orders for unique product configurations while maintaining control of inventory, planning, and cost accounting.
A Configure to Order environment is one where the product or service is assembled or kitted on receipt of the sales order. Oracle Applications supports the Configure to Order environment with a range of features in order entry, demand forecasting, master scheduling, production, shipping, and financial accounting.
Configure to Order:
includes Pick-to-Order (PTO) and Assemble-to-Order (ATO) items, models, and hybrids.
supports building configurations using other configurations as sub-assemblies (multi-level configure-to-order)
supports internal and external sourcing of ATO models at any level in the BOM
supports multi-level PTO/ATO hybrids
The Oracle Configure to Order Process Guide contains current, detailed information about how Oracle Applications E-Business Suite products support the configure to order capability. It provides detailed implementation consideration for every step of the process. Configure to Order shares business and setup information with other Oracle Applications products.
