Completing and Returning Assemblies

You can complete and over-complete assemblies from jobs and repetitive schedules into inventory, and you can also reverse a completion transaction by returning completed assemblies from inventory back to jobs and repetitive schedules.

Note: If Oracle Quality is installed and at least one qualified collection plan exists, you can collect quality data during completion transactions. When a Quality collection plan is available for the transaction, both the Enter Quality Results option on the Tools menu and the Quality tool on the toolbar are enabled. If the collection plan has been defined as mandatory, quality results data must be entered and saved before you can save the transaction. See: Using Oracle Quality with Oracle Work in Process.

Prerequisites

See: Serial Number Assignment

arrow icon   To define complete transaction header information:

  1. Navigate to the Completion Transactions window.

  2. Select applicable values for Sales Order, Line, Assembly, Job, or Kanban Number.

    Note: The cursor defaults to one of these fields based on how the TP:WIP:Completion Transactions First Field profile option is set. See: Profile Option Descriptions.

    You can reserve over-completion quantities from jobs linked to sales orders. The sales order number must be entered to reserve the excess quantity. See: Linking Sales Orders and Discrete Jobs.

  3. In the Transaction region, select the WIP Assembly Completion or WIP Assembly Return Transaction Type. See: Completion Transaction Types.

  4. Enter the transaction Date and time.

    The date and time must fall within an open accounting period and cannot be greater than the current date or less than the release date of the job or schedule.

  5. If you are over-completing the assembly quantity, select the Overcompletion check box. If the transaction type is WIP Assembly Return, however, the check box will be disabled.

    The Quantities regions displays Job Quantity, Job Complete, and Available to Complete values.

  6. Choose the Continue button to navigate to the WIP Assembly Completion or WIP Assembly Return window.

arrow icon   To complete or return assemblies:

  1. If this assembly is under revision control, you can select a different bill of material revision than the current revision. Place your cursor in the Revision field to display the Item Revisions window. See: Specifying Revision at Completion

  2. Choose the revision number you want to complete or return, and select OK.

  3. In the WIP Assembly Completion or WIP Assembly Return window, select the Subinventory and, if required by the subinventory, the Locator.

    Assemblies are completed into or returned into or from this subinventory and locator. The completion subinventory and locator you specified for the job or the repetitive line/assembly association is defaulted but can be overwritten. See: Completion Subinventory and Locator Fields.

    If the Oracle Inventory INV:Allow Expense to Asset Transfer profile option is set to Yes, you can select an expense subinventory. See: Inventory Profile Options.

  4. Select the UOM. See: Overview of Units of Measure.

  5. Enter the completion or return Quantity.

    The quantity should be in the UOM you are transacting. You can complete or return partial job or schedule quantities to different subinventories and locators. You can over-complete from jobs and schedules, whether or not they have a routing. You can complete or return partial job or schedule quantities to different subinventories and locators.

    If you are completing a serial controlled assembly, you can only enter a quantity that is an integer when expressed in the primary unit of measure. For example, you can complete 0.5 dozen (DZ) if the primary unit of measure is each (EA).

  6. Choose the Final Complete check box.

    If your current organization is an average costing organization, the Final Complete check box is displayed.

    The value of the Final Completion option (enabled/disabled) is defaulted based on how the WIP Autocompute Final Completions parameter is set. Using the default eliminates the need to manually choose the option. Final completions ensure that no residual balance is left in the job after the last assembly has been completed. Residual balances are handled as discussed below under WIP Job Closures.

  7. Optionally, select the transaction Reason code. See: Defining Transaction Reasons.

  8. Optionally, enter the transaction Reference.

    References can be used to identify transactions on standard reports. They can be up to 240 characters of alpha numeric text.

  9. If you are completing assemblies under lot, serial, or lot and serial control, choose the Lot/Serial button. See: Assigning Lot Numbers and Assigning Serial Numbers.

  10. Choose the Done button to save your work.

    Note: If you are completing assemblies that have Assembly Pull components, the system pulls (backflushes) these components from the supply subinventory/locator assigned to the component requirement. If no supply subinventory/locator is assigned to the component, the system pulls components from the default supply subinventory/locator specified by the WIP Supply Subinventory and Supply Locator Parameters. See: Material Parameters.

arrow icon   To backflush or return backflushed pull components under lot, serial, or lot and serial control:

  1. See: Backflushing Pull Components.
