Resource charges can be transacted manually, with move or purchase order transactions, or imported from outside data sources or data collection devices. Resources are charged based upon their charge type: Manual, WIP Move, PO Receipt and PO Move. See: Resource Charge Types.
For all resources you charge either manually or automatically, Oracle Work in Process also records the units applied to the job or repetitive schedule, expressed in the unit of measure of the resource, when you complete an operation.
You can charge resource charges at actual in two ways. You can enter an actual rate for the resource using the Open Resource Transaction Interface or you can use the Persons window. The system computes the resources variances accordingly.
Outside processing resources can be charged at standard rate or actual. Oracle Purchasing computes purchase price variances accordingly.
Overhead costs are appropriately charged as you charge resources. You can define overheads to be charged based on Resource units or Resource value, Lot, or Item. Oracle Work in Process calculates the appropriate overhead charge as you charge the resource. Oracle Work Overhead charges are automatically reversed as you reverse underlying resource charges. See: Default Basis Types.
You have the option to include resource and overhead charges in the cost of the parent or higher level assembly. This feature is enabled when you set up the Oracle Bills of Material BOM:Use Phantom Routings parameter to have "Yes" as its value. You set this parameter at the inventory organization level and it applies to all phantoms within a single inventory organization. Routing resources and their costs are then also included in capacity planning.
