1. Which intra operation steps might you want to enable if you have a just-in-time production environment?
Ans: You would probably enable only Run and To Move to model your environment.
2. You cannot move more assemblies than are available at a routing operation.
a) True b) False
3.What are the three transaction available in WIP?
Ans: Material transaction, Move transaction, Resource transaction.
4.When the lot based resource gets charged?
Ans: When the first unit is moved, the lot based resources will be charged.
5.In a assembly, all the components have supply type as operational pull, they are serial controled. During move transaction, how we can select the serial numbers.
Ans: During move transaction, a window “ Backflush” will popup, there we can select serial numbers.
6.For an assembly, the move transaction does not allow me to complete in that screen iteself? What will be the problem.
Ans: The assembly will be serial control, therefore you have to complete it in completion transaction screen only
7.In an assembly, one of the item has supply type = bulk, what transaction should i perform.
Ans: no need to perform any transaction, it is just a label.
8.In profile option, WIP: Define discrete job, it has been defined as concurrent. While creating a Discrete order, what concurrent will be running?
Ans: WIP concurrent exploder.
9.Explain shopfloor status?
Ans: Shop floor status are control move transactions which can be assigned to interaoperations steps.
10.What are the two types of scheduling available in WIP?
Ans: Dynamic lead time offsetting and Detailed scheduling.
11. Which status in discrete job cannot be reversed?
Ans: Complete – No charges
12.Which field in Discrete job is non- editable before saving?
Ans: UOM
13.How can we add material and Resource in a discrete job? What is the implicaiton of this action on bills and routing?
Ans: In Job / Schedule details we can add materials and resource for the particulat order. This will be effect for this order only. Engineering BOM and Manufacturing BOM has no effect.
14.What is repetative schedule?
Ans: Repetative schedule builts an assembly on a line at specifited production rate and for specified number of days.
15.How can you reverse manual resource charges?
Ans: You can manually charge the same resource to the job or schedule and enter a negative value in the Units Applied field.
16.In Repetative schedule, while associating line and assembly, what will happen if we enter hourly prodcution rate higher than the maximum hourly rate defined in production line?
Ans: An error message will pupulate and wont allow to enter quantity greater than maximum hourly rate defined in production.
17.What are the different rescheduling options available in WIP?
Ans: Forward , Backward and Midpoint.
18.For a purchased item, how “processing lead time” is calculated in WIP?
Ans: WIP won't calculate “Processing lead time” for purchased item, we have to manually enter.
19.In OSP, what will happen if we receive quantity greater than PO quantity?
Ans: we cannot close the job, it will be shown in pending transaction.
20. In an assembly, same component is used in operation 10 (first) & 50 (last). How to specify this in a bill?
Ans: Use reference designators to generate a range of Notion numbers with referencing to the specific operations. This might be drawing conventions, general informations..Etc
21.I want to check what are all the components used for final assembly, their qty, the routing & availability of child assemblies in Inventory. After checking, I want to convert that into discrete job. What is the facility given by oracle to do the above scenario?
Ans: Use “Simulate discrete Job”
22.I use Substitute items in WIP material transaction?
a) True b) False
23.What are the controls available to generate requisitions during OSP process?
Ans: In WIP Parameters, Operation start time of OSP operation (Queue Stage in OSP),At the time of creation of Job/schedule, Manual
24.Can we add an operation after it starting prodction. ( partial move transaction)
a) Yes b) No
25.Explain the status “ Pending Mass loaded” in Repetative schedule
Ans: The out put of MRP will be “ Pending Mass loaded” , since MRP does not consider existing schedules.
Descriptive Questions
1.What are the types of WIP accounting class available in Oracle?
Ans: Standard, Asset non-standard, Expense non-standard, Repetitive, Standard lot based, Expense non standard lot based, Maintenance.
2.Client is Pen manufacturer, He uses discrete manufacturing for his production. he sells pens and refills (as spare), During manufacturing of pen, refill is one of the component and it is non stocked . What setup to be done to manufacture and sell both pen and refill ( instead of defining two seperate items for refill)
Ans: Create items Pen and refill with supply type push / pull
Creat bill for pen, attach refill as its one of the component,
Change the default supply tpe to Phantom. ( this will effect this particular bill only)
3.What is the difference between “ Complete” and “ Close” ?
Ans:
S.No Complete Close
1 When completed, the WIP value gets decremented and Inventory value gets incremented When closed, the details are transferred to GL
2 Valuation accounts gets hit Variance account gets hit
4.In a Routing, an items’ manufacturing process is as per below..
10- Assembly
20 -Cleaning
30- Labeling
40- Inspection
50- Packing ,Here 40, Inspection is an occasional operation, not always be done. & 20. Cleaning is always done but non-critical. Hence these are requested not to be done while performing “ Move transaction “ in-order to have less manual effort. How to designate this requirement?
Ans:In standard operation, 20. Cleaning – Disable “ Count Point” & Select “ Auto charge”. This will not default this particular operation in the move transaction. This way can skip that particular operation.
40. Inspection, Count point & Auto charge to be disabled. Hence whenever occasional need calls, Add this operation to the Job by Job/Schedule Operations.
5.Create Discrete JOB for 10 nos, complete only 5 leave the remaining is Rejection. Hence this rejected qty not to be considered while booking sales order? What setup to be done so that can be avoided?
Ans: Create a Sub-Inventory and disable “Allow reservation – No”. (Call it as Rejection sub inventory)
Assign this DJ – Routing __ completion sub inv, so as rejected components can be moved here while Making “Move transaction”
Can check in the Availability window in the sales order screen, Available to reserve qty.
6.What are some reasons Oracle Work in Process would prevent you from performing a completion transaction?
Ans: There is no available quantity in the To Move step of the last operation in the routing.
–There is a shop floor status preventing movement from the To Move step of the last operation in the routing.
–The job/schedule status prevents transactions.
–The item is not transact able
7.what is the difference between Standard and Non-standard discrete jobs?
Ans:
S.No Standard DJ Non-Standard DJ
1 Standard DJ controls material and operation required to build assemblies and collect manufacturing cost Non-standard DJ controls miscellaneous activities eg: Rework, repair
2 Assembly in mandatory Assembly is not mandatory
3 We can “ Firm” Cannot check “ Firm”
4 Bill reference field is grey out Can enter item / assembly
5 Revision is not optional Revision is mandatory if the assembly has revision
6 Both Valuation and variance will be hit Only Variance will be hit
8.What are the status of DJ ( both user status and Processing status)
Ans
S.No User status Processing Status
1 Unreleased Pending routing load
2 released Failed routing load
Complete Pending bill load
Complete – No charge Failed bill load
Cancel Pending scheduling
Hold Pending closed
Closed Failed close
9.Can i complete an assembly with out order? Explain in detail
Ans: Yes, In Workorder less completion we can complete an assembly with out order.
Ther are 4 options available: WIP assembly compeltion , WIP assembly return, WIP assembly scrap, WIP return from scrap.
10.How to unclose an order, what are the prequestes for forecast
Ans: In Close Discrete jobs form query with the order number. Tools--> Unclose.
The prequestes are a) Job status should be closed.
b) Accounting period should be open
