Oracle WIP – Supply Types:

Oracle WIP – Supply Types:

In Oracle WIP, the Supply Types decides the component supply method to the discrete jobs and repetitive schedules. It also controls how the materials are planned in Oracle MRP & Supply Chain Planning and are costed in Oracle Cost Management.

Supply types can be assigned to the items during defining new items in Oracle Inventory.

Also assign the supply types to components when creating the bills of material in Oracle Bills of Material and Oracle Engineering.

Following are the supply types used in Oracle WIP:
1. Operation Pull
2. Assembly Pull
3. Push
4. Supplier
5. Bulk
6. Phantom
7. Based On Bill

Operation Pull:

Components Issue will be taken care of by the system itself. Once the operation is completed, required components for the work order will be pulled from the mentioned supply subinventory.

Assembly Pull:

Once the assembly is completed, required components for that assembly will be pulled from the given supply subinventory.

Push:

In Push type, user needs to issue the components manually through WIP Component Issue transactions before starting the Job.

Supplier:

Supplier type is mostly used for outsource processing (OSP). Issue of item by supplier, need not to transact this item. It is only for reference only to the WIP Person as this component need not to be used.

Bulk:

In Bulk Supply type the component requirements can be viewed and are displayed on reports. They can be used to communicate to the shop floor that bulk components must be used but need not be transacted. Bulk supply type components are not backflushed nor do they default when issuing all components for an assembly. However user can manually issue specific bulk components to a discrete job or repetitive schedule.

Phanthom:

Phantom Supply type components can be assigned to bill of material component subassemblies and subassembly items in BOM and Engineering. Components of phantom subassemblies are used as if they are assigned directly to the parent assembly. Phantom supply types cannot be assigned to jobs and repetitive lines/assembly associations in Work in Process.

Based on Bill:

Based on the Bill the components are to be issued. Method of issuing the components is given as supply type in Bill of Material. If user can use the same, select based on Bill.
