R12 Changes N Oracle Inventory
R12 Changes N Oracle Inventory
wanted to share with you the R12 changes to item attributes and inventory organization parameters because I feel these configurations are at the heart of all Supply Chain modules. These configurations will determine how items are planned, purchased, built, costed, ordered, and shipped. The R12 changes to the item attributes and inventory organization parameters are mainly the result of new integrations with Process Manufacturing and Chargeable Subcontract Manufacturing. Before R12, Process Manufacturing was more of a stand-alone module with its own inventory organization setups. Now Discrete Manufacturing and Process Manufacturing share the same inventory module. Chargeable Subcontract Manufacturing is new functionality that allows you to support outsourcing the manufacturing of subassemblies and finished goods. This type of manufacturing is common in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. In Japan, this is referred as Shikyu. So lets look at the R12 changes.
Receiving Tab No Changes Physical Attributes Tab No Changes General Planning Tab
To support Chargeable Subcontract Manufacturing, Oracle added a subcontracting component field.
Lead Times Tab No Changes Work in Process Tab No Changes Order Management Tab
To support recurring charges in Order Management, Oracle added the periodicity field.
Two new accounts were added to this tab. The first one is the Deferred COGS Account field. This account is used by the Sales Order Issue transaction type to deferred COGS until AR recognizes revenue. The second account is the Landed Cost Management (LCM) variance account. This account is used by the new Landed Cost Management module.
