You can complete assemblies from jobs and schedules into inventory, and you can return completed assemblies from inventory to jobs and repetitive schedules. A larger quantity than the job or schedule start quantity can be completed into inventory, as long as it is within the tolerance level set. Assemblies can be completed and returned using the Completion Transactions and the Move Transactions windows. You can also import assembly completion and return transactions through the Inventory Transaction Interface in Oracle Inventory. Completion and return functionality includes:
Completing assemblies from a job or schedule with a routing reduces the assembly quantity in the To move intraoperation step of the last operation sequence and increases the job or schedule completed quantity.
Processing for move related transactions (that is: move, scrap, reject, move and complete, and return and move) enable the parent assembly record to process even if backflush records fail.
In background processing for standard completion and return transactions, once the move completion manager picks up a record for processing, backflushing occurs in the same commit cycle. This prevents the possibility of processing transactions if backflushing fails.
Returning assemblies to a job or schedule with a routing, increases the assembly quantity in the To move intraoperation step of the last operation sequence and decreases the job or schedule complete quantity.
You can complete and return assemblies in their alternate unit of measure. If you enter an alternate unit of measure for the item, the transaction quantity is converted using the conversion information you specified when you defined the unit of measure in Oracle Inventory. You can change this quantity if desired.
If completing assemblies that have lot controlled Assembly Pull components, and the WIP Backflush Lot Selection parameter is set to Manual, manually select which lots to backflush. If you are completing assemblies that have serial controlled, or lot and serial controlled components, manually select which lots and/or serial numbers to backflush.
When you complete or return assemblies under revision control, the system defaults the current revision. You can specify another bill of material revision for an assembly when performing these transactions, providing the option to complete a particular revision. In cases for specific revision on serial controlled assemblies, you can associate the correct revision with the serial number. This may be appropriate in situations when a serialized assembly is returned to inventory, and the revisions associated with the assembly is older than the current effective revision.
Note: This functionality is not supported for Express move completion transactions, or simultaneous completion and scrap, or completion and reject transactions.
The Revision field default is derived using the following logic:
Completions
Standard Discrete Job: Highest current revision of assembly.
Non-Standard Discrete Job
Latest issued revision of the assembly.
If latest issued revision not available, default the highest current revision of assembly.
Returns
Standard Discrete Job: Highest current revision of assembly.
Non-Standard Discrete Job
Latest completed revision of the assembly.
If latest completed revision not available, default the highest current revision of assembly

When you complete assemblies, the completion subinventory defaults from the job or repetitive line/assembly association. For subassemblies, the completion subinventory can be the supply subinventory for higher level assemblies, for final assemblies or finished goods the completion subinventory can be finished goods inventory. You can change the default completion subinventory as you complete assemblies.
If you have set your organization, subinventory, or item controls to require locators, you must also enter locator as you complete assemblies.
Reservations are automatically transferred from the job to the subinventory and locator as you complete assemblies from final assembly orders. Reservations are automatically transferred based on sales order line delivery due dates. You can override the automatic transfer. When assemblies are returned to a final assembly order, you must enter the sales order line and delivery information so that the system knows which specific reservations to transfer back from inventory.
When you complete repetitive assemblies into inventory from a repetitive production line, the completion transaction is automatically allocated to a specific repetitive schedule on a first in-first out basis. When you return assemblies from inventory to a repetitive schedule line, the transaction is automatically allocated to specific repetitive schedules on a last in-first out basis.
The supply status of a production kanban is updated to Full when the first assembly from replenishment job or repetitive schedule is completed.
If Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications is installed, the Mobile Manufacturing component enables you to perform work in process material transactions using a mobile client device networked with a computer system. This includes issuing material from inventory, reversing component issues, filling negative requirements, lot and serial number control, and viewing transaction information. See: Mobile Manufacturing, Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications User's Guide
If Oracle Warehouse Management is installed, you can use License Plate Number functionality for tracking completions. License plate numbers are unique identifiers for containers in the supply chain. You can perform assembly completions and work order-less completions into license plate numbers. Multi-level nesting enables containers to be packed within another container. The container's genealogy provides content and transaction history for each license plate.Explaining License Plate Management
Label printing capabilities are available at the time of completion in the Completion Transactions and Work Order-less Completions windows. This functionality enables you to create labels for shipping, order management, manufacturing, and other types of information. Labels are created by selecting a format type and setup in Oracle Inventory - and using a third-party label printing system. If Oracle Warehouse Management is installed, you can set up compliance labeling using bar code specifications and symbol content. This creates customer specific labels to comply with your customer's requirements.
If collection plans exist for the line operation, you can enter quality data within the Flow Workstation, and print labels for the quality plan at the first operation or subsequent operations.
