Oracle Project Manufacturing is a solution for companies that manufacture products using projects or contracts. Oracle Project Manufacturing combines three major applications:
Oracle Projects, which provides the project costing, project billing, and project budgeting functions.
Oracle Manufacturing
Third-party project planning and scheduling systems (project management systems)
When used as a part of the Project Manufacturing functionality, Oracle Projects acts as a cost repository for manufacturing-related activities from other products in the Project Manufacturing suite.
The incorporation of Oracle Projects in the Project Manufacturing suite allows you to:
Set up the WBS for a manufacturing project in Oracle Projects. All manufacturing costs are then tracked by project and task, and are imported to Oracle Projects using the Transaction Import process.
Track projects and tasks defined in Oracle Projects throughout various manufacturing applications.
Charge project costs from inventory and work in process to a project and task.
Include project costs from manufacturing and distribution in your budget to actual cost analysis in Oracle Projects.
