Adding and Updating Material Requirements

You can add material requirements to discrete jobs and repetitive schedules with statuses of Unreleased, Released, On Hold, and Complete.

Note: You can also add material requirements to jobs and schedules by issuing components not required by the job or schedule. See: Issuing and Returning Specific Components.

arrow icon   To add or update material requirements:

  1. Navigate to the Material Requirements window.

  2. Select the Job or repetitive Line and Assembly.

    You can only select a discrete job or a repetitive line and assembly for a repetitive schedule if the job or schedule has a status of Unreleased, Released, On Hold, or Complete.

  3. If you select a line and assembly, choose the repetitive schedule by selecting the first unit start date of that schedule. If you select a discrete job, the system displays the scheduled start date of the job.

  4. Optionally, choose the Find button to populate the Material Requirements region.

  5. From the Main tabbed region of the Material Requirements region, select the Component to update or add.

    You can add items with Push, Assembly Pull, Operation Pull, Bulk, Phantom, and Supplier supply types. If you add Phantom items, their supply types are changed to Push. Supply types are also changed to Push if you add Assembly Pull items to jobs or schedules without bills of material. Similarly, if you add Operation Pull items to jobs or schedules without routings, their supply types are changed to Assembly Pull.

    You can add engineering items as requirements if you have the WIP:See Engineering Items profile option set to Yes. See: Profile Option Descriptions and Engineering Bills of Material and Routings in the Oracle User's Engineering User's Guide.

    In the case of non-standard discrete jobs, you can add the primary assembly as a component. In other words, the job assembly requires itself. This is useful when you use non-standard jobs to manage rework or disassembly. See: Rework Assemblies and Disassemble Assemblies.

    You can add items that already exists as job or schedule component requirements if you add them at a different operation sequence.

  6. If adding a component, select the Operation Sequence number. See: Overview of Routings and Creating a Routing.

    You can only add components at existing operations. The operation sequence identifies where the material is required.

    If you add a requirement to a job or schedule without a routing, the system displays 1 as the default operation sequence. This value cannot be updated.

  7. Select the Date Required.

    For jobs with routings, the system displays the start date of the operation as the default. For repetitive schedules with routings, the system displays the first unit start date of the operation as the default. You can update the date required with a date that lies between the start and completion dates of the operation.

    For jobs and schedules without routings, the systems displays the scheduled start date of the job or the first unit start date of the schedule as the default. You can update the date required with a date and time that lies between the start date and time and completion date and time of the job or schedule.

  8. In the Quantities tabbed region, the default Basis Type of the component displays from the bill of material. This field is used for calculating component requirements. You can change this value, your choices are:

  9. Enter the Per Assembly Quantity, or the Required Quantity for the component.

    Required Quantity field is calculated based on basis type.

    If you are adding a component, the per assembly quantity defaults to 1 and the required quantity is derived from the job or schedule quantity and displayed in the component's primary UOM. It can be updated. If you update the per assembly quantity, the required quantity is automatically calculated.

  10. The Inverse Usage and Yield fields are used in cases where decimal quantities may inflate requirements or cause variances in rounding calculations. The Inverse Usage and Yield fields default to the value of 1. You can edit these fields to fit your manufacturing requirements. See: Component Yield and Shrinkage and Inverse Component Usage

  11. In the Supply tabbed region, select the Supply Type. See: Supply Types.

    When you add components, the supply type specified for the item in Oracle Inventory is normally defaulted. If the item does not have a supply type, the supply type defaults to Push.

    Supply type selection is restricted based on the type and makeup of the job or schedule. You cannot, for example, change the supply type of a Push component to Assembly Pull if the job or schedule has no routing.

  12. If the component's supply type is Assembly Pull or Operation Pull, you must select the supply Subinventory, and if required by the supply subinventory, the supply Locator. See: Supply Subinventory and Locator Fields.

  13. Check the MRP Net check box to include material requirements as demand in the calculation of net requirements. See: Net Work in Process, Oracle MRP User's Guide.

    If a negative quantity for a standard discrete job or repetitive schedule is entered, this check box is disabled.

    For non standard-jobs with a negative quantity, the MRP check box is enabled. However, Oracle planning nets the negative requirement as supply rather than demand.

    When initially creating non-standard discrete jobs, this flag is unchecked. You must manually mark the check box for components to be considered as demand by Oracle planning applications.

  14. In the Comments tabbed region, enter or update the Comment.

  15. Save your work.
