To define work order material requirements:When entering a work order for an asset number, the activity associated to the asset number attaches the required material and resources to complete its operations. However, you can update, add, view, and delete material requirements for a specific work order.
You can also specify a source subinventory and source locator at the BOM level or the work order material requirement level. If the Auto Request Material option is selected at the BOM level, material allocation will be initiated when the work order is released, and the source subinventory and source locator values you enter will override these values in the Inventory sourcing rules. If the Auto Request Material option is not selected, you can specify a source subinventory and source locator for your material when you perform a material request or a One-Step Material Issue.
To define work order material requirements:Navigate to the Select Work Order page (Work Order Details > Material Requirements).
Note: This function is available for those users with responsibilities and roles that include function, EAM_WO_DETAILS_MODE, with their associated menu. Otherwise, you can only view work orders, and cannot update associated asset hierarchy, work order hierarchy, material, resource, operation, cost, collection plan results, work request, and attachment information. See: Implementing Function Security, Oracle Applications System Administrator's Guide - Security.
Select a work order.
Click the Continue button.
Optionally, within the Inventory Items region, you can view or update the item list associated with the asset number. (See: Setting Up Asset Bills of Material) by placing your cursor in the Material field or by choosing Select Materials. When you choose Select Materials, the current asset numbers associated Asset Bill of Material items are available to be added to the required material for the current work order.
Optionally select the Main tab to change operation sequence and the date required.
Note: If you are accessing the Select Materials page via the Operations page, you cannot change operation information. If you are accessing the Select Materials page using the Work Order page, you can change operation information.
Optionally select the Quantities tab to update the quantities Required.
Optionally select the Supply tab to select a supply Type. You can optionally specify a value for the Source Subinventory and Source Locator fields.
Optionally select the Comment tab to enter information for the current Material.
Optionally choose the ATP tab to define available to promise information for the current material. If you select the ATP Allowed check box, available to promise information can be calculated for the current material.
Optionally choose Check ATP to check available to promise information for the selected material.
Optionally choose Direct Item to create requisitions for direct items, and add them to your items list. Oracle Self Service Purchasing defaults the Work Order Number and Operation Number, as well as the class code information for correct expensing. Direct Items are one time, non-inventoried items that are purchased directly from the supplier. After you choose Direct Item, the current Work Order and operation reference values are passed to the requisition created. If the Work Order is project related, the project and task information is captured in the purchase requisition (See: Overview of Direct Item Procurement for eAM Work Orders). You can exit Self Service Purchasing and return to the Material Requirements page by choosing Return To Portal.
Upon re-inquiry of this Work Order, the Direct Items region reflects any requisition and purchase order details.
Note: You must have Oracle Self Service Purchasing installed for this functionality. You can purchase direct items from a Requisition or Purchase Order page if you have Oracle Purchasing installed (See: Entering Purchase Orders for Direct Items).
Note: You can procure direct items to Work Orders at Released statuses.
Choose Copy to Asset to dynamically update the BOM associated to the asset group with any items list changes (See: Setting Up Asset Bills of Material).
