Enterprise Asset Management supports a variety of ways to define work breakdown structures. The methods include, using third party project management systems (with on-line integration), project templates, Seiban number wizard, copy, and manual entry. Work breakdown structures are commonly needed for program management. To support financial project management an reporting, the combination of Oracle Projects and Oracle Project Manufacturing enables budgeting, project costing and tracking, project billing, project revenue recognition, project cash forecasting, and project cost collection, including multi-currency and tax regulations.
To support project supply chain management and execution, Project Manufacturing provides functionality for project sales management, project advanced supply chain planning, project procurement, project execution, and project quality management.
The following diagram illustrates the eAM Project Manufacturing process. First, a maintenance Work Order is linked to a project or task. If a requisition or purchase order is created for that Work Order, the commitments for the Work Order's associated project or task are updated. The Project Cost Collector process (See: Project Cost Collector) then passes the costs to the Work Order's associated project WIP accounting class accounts, rather than the WIP accounting class associated with the eAM asset or eAM organization.
Resources and Material charge against a Work Order. The Work Order is associated with a Project. The charges are transferred to the Project expenditures via the Cost Collector process.
