Merge Mass Additions


When you merge two mass additions, Oracle Assets adds the asset cost of the mass addition that
you are merging to the asset account of the mass addition you are merging into. Oracle Assets
records the merge when you perform the transaction. Oracle Assets does not change the asset
clearing account journal entries it creates for each line, so each of the appropriate clearing
accounts clears separately.

Deleted Mass Additions


Oracle Assets creates no journal entries for deleted mass additions and does not clear the asset
clearing accounts credited by accounts payable.
You clear the accounts by either reversing the invoice in your payables system, or
creating manual journal entries in your general ledger.

Capitalization
A capitalization transaction is similar to an addition transaction: you place the asset in service so
you can begin depreciating it. When you capitalize an asset in the period you added it, Oracle
Assets creates the following journal entries:

Cost Adjustments to Capitalized and CIP Source Lines


When you transfer source lines you adjust the recoverable cost of an asset. Because CIP assets
do not depreciate, Oracle Assets does not need to reverse depreciation expense when you
transfer invoice lines between CIP assets. If you transfer source lines from CIP to capitalized
assets, Oracle Assets takes catchup depreciation as for any cost adjustment transaction. If you
transfer source lines from capitalized to CIP assets, Oracle Assets must back out some of the
depreciation from the capitalized asset.

Transfer Source Lines Between Assets (Prior Period)

assets added in a prior period.

Cost Adjustment by Adding a Mass Addition to an Existing Asset


If you add a mass addition to an asset, Oracle Assets creates a journal entry to the asset cost
account of the existing asset. Oracle Assets also credits the clearing account you assigned to the
invoice distribution line in accounts payable to net it to zero.
If you want the existing asset to assume the asset category and description of the mass addition,
Oracle Assets creates a journal entry for the new total asset cost to the asset cost account of the
mass additions category. It also creates journal entries for the clearing account you assigned to
the invoice line in accounts payable, and for the clearing or cost account of the original addition
category.
Oracle Assets creates the following journal entries for a capitalized $2,000 mass addition added
to a new, manually added $500 asset, where the asset uses the category of the mass addition:

A unit adjustment is similar to a transfer, since you must update assignment information when you
change the number of units for an asset. For example, you place the same $4,000 asset in
service with two units assigned to cost center 100. In Year 2, Quarter 3, you realize the
asset actually has four units, two of which belong to cost center 200.

Reclassification
Example: You reclassify an asset from office equipment to computers in Year 1, Quarter 3. The

When you reclassify an asset in a period after the period you entered it, Oracle Assets creates
journal entries to transfer the cost and accumulated depreciation to the asset and accumulated
depreciation accounts of the new asset category. This occurs when you create journal entries for
your general ledger.. Oracle Assets also changes the depreciation expense account to the default
depreciation expense Account for the new category, but does not adjust for prior period expense.

Journal Entries for Retirements and Reinstatements


When you retire an asset and create journal entries for that period,Oracle Assets creates journal
entries for your general ledger for each component of the gain/loss amount. Oracle Assets
creates journal entries for either the gain or the loss accounts for the following components:
proceeds of sale, cost of removal, net book value retired, and revaluation reserve retired. Oracle
Assets also creates journal entries to clear the proceeds of sale and cost of removal.
Oracle Assets creates journal entries for the retirement accounts you set up in the Book Controls
form. If you enter distinct gain and loss accounts for each component of the gain/loss amount,

Oracle Assets creates multiple journal entries for these accounts. You can enter different sets of
retirement accounts for retirements that result in a gain and retirements that result in a loss.

Depreciation for Retirements


The retirement convention, date retired, and depreciation method control how much depreciation
Oracle Assets takes when you retire an asset. Oracle Assets reverses the yeartodate
depreciation if the assets depreciation method does not depreciate it in the year of retirement. In
this case, when you perform a full retirement, Oracle Assets reverses the yeartodate
depreciation of the asset, and computes the gain or loss using the resulting net book value. For
partial retirements, Oracle Assets reverses the appropriate fraction of the yeartodate
depreciation and computes the gain or loss using the appropriate fraction of the resulting net
book value. If the depreciation method takes depreciation in the year of retirement,
Oracle Assets uses your retirement convention to determine whether the asset is eligible for
additional depreciation in that year or whether some of that years depreciation must be reversed.
When you perform a partial retirement, Oracle Assets depreciates the portion of the asset you did
not retire based on the method you use. If your depreciation method multiplies a flatrate by the
cost, Oracle Assets depreciates the assets cost remaining after a partial retirement. For assets
that use a diminishing value method, Oracle Assets depreciates the remaining fraction of the
assets net book value as of the beginning of the fiscal year.

Depreciation for Reinstatements


The retirement convention, date retired, and period in which you reinstate an asset control how
much depreciation Oracle Assets calculates when you reinstate an asset. When you reinstate a
retired asset, Oracle Assets usually calculates some additional depreciation expense in the period
in which you perform the reinstatement, unless you perform it in the same period that you retired
the asset. This additional depreciation is the depreciation that would have been taken if you had
not retired the asset. Sometimes, however, a reinstatement results in a reversal of
depreciation. This occurs if the retirement convention caused some additional depreciation when
you retired the asset, and then you reinstate the asset before the retirement prorate date. Then
Oracle Assets reverses the extra depreciation that it took at retirement, and waits until the
appropriate accounting periods to take it.

Current Period Retirements


Example: You place an asset in service in Year 1, Quarter 1. The asset cost is $4,000, the life is 4
years, and you are using straightline depreciation. In Year 3, Quarter 3, you sell the asset for
$2,000. The cost to remove the asset is $500. The asset uses a retirement convention and
depreciation method which take depreciation in the period of retirement. You retire revaluation
reserve in this book.

Assets Fully Reserved Upon Addition


If you add an asset with an accumulated depreciation equal to the recoverable cost, it is fully
reserved upon addition. When you retire it, Oracle Assets does not back out any depreciation,
even if you assigned the asset a depreciation method that backs out all depreciation in the
year of retirement. However, it creates all the other journal entries associated with retiring a
capitalized asset.

NonDepreciated Capitalized/ConstructionInProcess (CIP) Assets


A nondepreciated capitalized asset or a CIP asset has no accumulated depreciation. Therefore,
Oracle Assets does not create journal entries to catch up depreciation to the retirement prorate
date, and does not remove the accumulated depreciation. However, Oracle Assets creates
all other journal entries associated with retiring a capitalized asset.

Reinstatement Transactions
PENDING Asset Retirement
When you reinstate an asset retired in the current accounting period that the calculate gains and
losses program has not yet processed, the retirement transaction is deleted, and the asset is
immediately reinstated. No journal entries are created.
PROCESSED Asset Retirement
When you reinstate an asset retired in a previous accounting period or already processed in the
current period, the existing retirement transaction gets a new Status REINSTATE, and the asset
is reinstated when you process retirements. Oracle Assets creates journal entries to catch up any
missed depreciation expense.

Journal Entries for Revaluations


The following examples illustrate the effect on your assets and your accounts when you specify
different revaluation rules.

Revalue Accumulated Depreciation


Example 1: You place an asset in service in Year 1, Quarter 1. The asset cost is $10,000, the life
is 5 years, and you are using straightline depreciation.
In Year 2, Quarter 1 you revalue the asset using a revaluation rate of 5%. Then in Year 4, Quarter
1 you revalue the asset again using a revaluation rate of 10%.
Revaluation Rules:
Revalue Accumulated Depreciation = Yes
Amortize Revaluation Reserve = No
Retire Revaluation Reserve = No
Oracle Assets bases the new depreciation expense on the revalued remaining net book value.
In Year 5, Quarter 4, at the end of the assets life, you retire the asset with no proceeds of sale or
cost of removal.

REVALUATION 1
Year 2, Quarter 1, 5% revaluation
*Accumulated Depreciation =
Existing Accumulated Depreciation +
[Existing Accumulated Depreciation x (Revaluation Rate / 100)]
2,000 + [2,000 X (5/100)] = 2,100
**Revaluation Reserve =
Existing Revaluation Reserve + Change in Net Book Value

For the first revaluation, the assets new revalued cost is $10,500. Since you do not revalue the
accumulated depreciation, Oracle Assets transfers the balance to the revaluation reserve in
addition to the change in cost. Since you are also not amortizing the revaluation reserve, this
amount remains in the revaluation reserve account until you retire the asset, when Oracle Assets
transfers it to the appropriate revaluation reserve retired account. Oracle Assets bases the new
depreciation expense on the revalued net book value. For the second revaluation, the assets
revalued cost is $9,450. Again, since you do not revalue the accumulated depreciation, Oracle
Assets transfers the balance to the revaluation reserve along with the change in cost.
You retire the asset in Year 5, Quarter 4, with no proceeds of sale or cost of removal.

Amortizing Revaluation Reserve


Example 3: You place an asset in service in Year 1, Quarter 1. The asset cost is $10,000, the life
is 5 years, and you are using straightline depreciation.
In Year 2, Quarter 1 you revalue the asset using a rate of 5%. Then in Year 4, Quarter 1 you
revalue the asset again using a rate of 10%.
Revaluation Rules:
Revalue Accumulated Depreciation = No
Amortize Revaluation Reserve = Yes
For the first revaluation, the assets new revalued cost is $10,500. Since you do not revalue the
accumulated depreciation, Oracle Assets transfers the entire amount to the revaluation reserve.
Since you are amortizing the revaluation reserve, Oracle Assets calculates the revaluation
amortization amount for each period using the assets depreciation method. Oracle Assets also
bases the new depreciation expense on the revalued net book value.
For the second revaluation, the assets revalued cost is $9,450. Again, since you do not revalue
the accumulated depreciation, Oracle Assets transfers the entire amount to the revaluation
reserve.

The effects of the revaluations are illustrated in the following table:

Revaluation of a Fully Reserved Asset


Example 4: You place an asset in service in Year 1, Quarter 1. The asset cost is $10,000, the life
is 5 years, and you are using straightline depreciation. The assets life extension factor is 2 and
the maximum fully reserved revaluations allowed for this book is 3.
In year 5, quarter 4 the asset is fully reserved. In Year 9, Quarter 1 you want to revalue the asset
with a revaluation rate of 5%.
Revaluation Rules:
Revalue Accumulated Depreciation = Yes
Amortize Revaluation Reserve = No
First, Oracle Assets checks whether this fully reserved asset has been previously revalued as
fully reserved, and that the maximum number of times is not exceeded by this revaluation. Since
this asset has not been previously revalued as fully reserved, this revaluation is allowed.
The assets new revalued cost is $10,500. The life extension factor for this asset is 2, so the
assets new life is 2 _ 5 years = 10 years. Oracle Assets calculates depreciation expense over its
new life of 10 years.
Oracle Assets calculates the depreciation adjustment of $2,000 using the new 10 year asset life.
It transfers the change in net book value to the revaluation reserve account.
Oracle Assets revalues the accumulated depreciation using the 5% revaluation rate. The change
in net book value is transferred to the revaluation reserve account. Since you do not amortize the
revaluation reserve, the amount remains in the revaluation reserve account.

Revaluation with Life Extension Ceiling


Example 5: You place an asset in service in Year 1, Quarter 1. The asset cost is $10,000, the life
is 5 years, and you are using straightline depreciation. The assets life extension factor is 3.0
and its life extension ceiling is 2.
In Year 5, Quarter 4 the asset is fully reserved. In year 9, quarter 1 you want to revalue the asset
with a revaluation rate of 5%.
Revaluation Rules:
Revalue Accumulated Depreciation = Yes
Amortize Revaluation Reserve = No
To determine the depreciation adjustment, Oracle Assets uses the smaller of the life extension
factor and the life extension ceiling. Since the life extension ceiling is smaller than the life
extension factor, Oracle Assets uses the ceiling to calculate the depreciation adjustment. The
new life used to calculate the depreciation adjustment is 2 _ 5 years = 10 years, the life
extension ceiling of 2 multiplied by the original 5 year life of the asset.
Oracle Assets calculates the assets depreciation expense under the new life of 10 years up to
the revaluation period, and moves the difference between this value and the existing accumulated
depreciation from accumulated depreciation to revaluation reserve.
Oracle Assets then determines the new asset cost using the revaluation rate of 5% and revalues
the accumulated depreciation with the same rate. Oracle Assets calculates the assets new life by
multiplying the current life by the life extension factor. The assets new life is 3 _ 5 years = 15
years. Oracle Assets bases the new depreciation expense on the revalued net book value and
the new 15 year life.

Revaluation with a Revaluation Ceiling


Example 6: You own an asset which has been damaged during its life.
You placed the asset in service in Year 1, quarter 1. The asset cost is $10,000, the life is 5 years,
and you are using straightline depreciation. You entered a revaluation ceiling of $10,300 for the
asset. In year 3, quarter 3 you revalue the assets category with a revaluation
rate of 5%.
Revaluation Rules:
Revalue Accumulated Depreciation = No
Amortize Revaluation Reserve = Yes
If Oracle Assets applied the new revaluation rate of 5%, the assets new cost would be higher
than the revaluation ceiling for this asset, so instead Oracle Assets uses the ceiling as the new
cost. The ceiling creates the same effect as revaluing the asset at a rate of 3%. Oracle
Assets bases the assets new depreciation expense on the revalued asset cost.

Example: You place an asset in service in Year 1, Quarter 1. The asset cost is $4,000, the life is 4
years, and you are using straightline depreciation. In Year 4, Quarter 1, your tax authority
requests that you change the depreciation taken in Year 2 from $1000 to $800.

Purchase Order Receipt to Receiving Inspection


You can use the Receipts window in Oracle Purchasing to receive material from a supplier into a
receiving location. You can also use this window to receive material directly to inventory. Please
note that this section addresses Inventory destinations only.
When you receive material or outside processing items from a supplier into receiving
inspection, the Receiving Inspection account is debited and the Inventory A/P Accrual
account is credited based on the quantity received and the purchase order price.

Delivery From Receiving Inspection to Inventory


You can use the Receiving Transactions window to move material from receiving inspection to
inventory. The system uses the quantity and the purchase order price of the delivered item to
update the receiving inspection account and quantity.
The system uses the standard cost of the delivered item to update the subinventory balances.

Purchase Price Variance

If your item has material overhead associated with it, the subinventory account is debited for the
amount of the material overhead and the material overhead absorption account(s) are credited.

Purchase Price Variance (PPV)


Purchase price variances (PPV) occur when there are differences between the standard cost and
the purchase order cost of an item.
Expense Subinventories and Expense Items
When you receive inventory expense items into expense subinventory locations, the following
accounting entry is generated:
Account
Subinventory Expense account @ PO price

Debit
XX

Inventory A/P Accrual account @ PO price

Credit
XX

When you receive an expense (nonasset) inventory item, or into an expense subinventory, the
subinventory expense account instead of the valuation account is debited. Because the expense
account is debited at the purchase order price, there is no purchase price variance.

Purchase Order Receipt to Inventory


When you receive material from a supplier directly to inventory, the receipt and delivery
transactions are performed in one step.
First, the Receiving Inspection account is debited and the Inventory A/P Accrual account credited
based on quantity received and the purchase order price.

Return To Supplier From Inventory


When you do not use receiving inspection, the return to supplier transaction updates the same
accounts as the direct receipt to inventory, with reverse transaction amounts. The Inventory A/P
Accrual account is debited and the Receiving Inspection account is credited based on quantity
received and the purchase order price.
Foreign Currencies
As with the purchase order receipt to inventory transaction, the system converts the purchase
order price to the functional currency and uses this converted value for the return to supplier
accounting entries.

Sales Order Shipments


Ship material on a sales order using Order Entry/Shipping. The accounting entries generated by a
sales order shipment are:
Account
Cost of Goods Sold account
Subinventory accounts @ standard cost

Debit
XX

Credit
XX

Based on the rules you define in Order Entry/Shipping, the Account Generator dynamically
creates the cost of goods sold account.

Attention: You do not create any accounting information when you ship from an expense
subinventory or ship an expense inventory item.

RMA Receipts
You can receive items back from a customer using the RMA (return material authorization)
Receipts window.
Account
Subinventory accounts @ standard cost

This uses the same account as the original cost of goods sold transaction.
Attention: You do not create any accounting entries when you receive material for an RMA
for an expense item or expense subinventory.

RMA Returns
You can return items received into inventory through an RMA back to the customer using RMA
Returns window.
For example, you can send back return an item that was returned by the customer to you
for repair.
This transaction reverses an RMA receipt. It also mimics a sales order shipment and updates the
same accounts as a sales order shipment.

Attention: Do not create any accounting entries when you return material for an RMA for an
expense item or expense subinventory.

Miscellaneous Transactions
Using the Miscellaneous Transaction window, you can issue material from a subinventory to a
general ledger account (or account alias) or receive material to a subinventory from an account or
alias. An account alias identifies another name for a general ledger account.
Suggestion: Use account aliases for account numbers you use frequently. For example, use the
alias SCRAP for your general ledger scrap account.
Issuing material from a subinventory to a general ledger account or alias generates the following
accounting entries:
Account
Entered General Ledger Account @ standard cost
Subinventory accounts @ standard cost

Debit
XX

Credit
XX

Receiving material to a subinventory from an account or an alias generates the following


accounting entries:
Account

Expense Subinventories and Expense Items When you receive into an expense location or
receive an expense item, you have expensed the material. If you use the miscellaneous
transaction to issue from an expense location,
You can issue to an account or to an asset subinventory of the
INV:Allow Expense to Asset Transfer profile option in Oracle Inventory is set to Yes.
If issued to an account the system assumes the material is consumed at the expense
location and moves the quantity without any associated value. If transferred to an asset
subinventory, the material moves at its current cost.
When you perform a miscellaneous transaction to receive an expense item to either an asset or
expense subinventory, no accounting occurs. Since the account balance could involve different
costs over time, The system assumes that the cost of the expense item is unknown.

InterOrganization Transfers
You can transfer material from one inventory organization to another either directly or through
intransit inventory. Intransit inventory represents material that has not yet arrived at the receiving
organization.
Using Intransit Inventory You can move material from the shipping organization to intransit
inventory using the Transfer Subinventories window. You can use the Receipts window to move
material from intransit invenotry to the receiving organization.
Issue Transaction
Depending upon the Freight On Board (FOB) point defined in the inventory organization
relationship, the shipment to intransit inventory creates the following accounting entries:
FOB Point is set to Receiving:

When your organization relationship is set to directly transfer material, Inventory performs both
the issue and the receipt transaction at the time of the issue. Any difference between the cost of
items in the two organizations is recognized as variance in the receiving organization.
The accounting entries created are as follows:

Use the Transfer Subinventories window for direct transfers. Material Overhead and Inter
Organization Transfers If your item has material overhead(s), you earn material overhead on
interorganization transfers. The subinventory entry is increased for the material overhead with a
credit to the material overhead absorption account(s) in the receiving organization.

Attention: The subinventory account is combined with the above entry. The material overhead
absorption transaction adds one additional account to the entry.

The FOB Point changes the accounting for freight. With FOB receiving, freight is accrued on the
receipt transaction by the sending organization. With FOB shipment, freight is accrued on the
shipment transaction by the receiving organization. For direct transfers, the receipt and shipment
transaction occur at the same time.
When the FOB Point is set to Receiving, the transfer creates the following freight and transfer
charge entries at time of receipt:

Intransit inventory includes both freight and transfer charges. The interorganization payable is
only increased for transfer charges.
Expense Subinventories and Expense Items:
When you receive an interorganization transfer into an expense subinventory or receive an
expense inventory item, you have expensed the material and cannot directly issue it. The system
assumes the material cost is consumed at the expense location.
Using the direct or intransit method, you can receive material to an expense subinventory or
receive an expense inventory item. When you receive to expense locations or receive expense
inventory items, the subinventory expense account is debited for the receiving organization,
instead of the valuation accounts. The subinventory expense account is charged the total
transaction value from the other organization.
InterOrganization Transfers and Sets of Books
The InterOrganization Direct Transfer transaction also supports transfers from any set of books,
even if the currency is different. However, you cannot use the InterOrganization Intransit with
multiple sets of books. These transactions use receiving functions from Purchasing, which only
supports one set of books. To perform an interorganization intransit transfer from one set of
books to another, you need to perform a combination of two transactions: a direct
transfer and an intransit transfer.

Subinventory Transfers
This transaction increases the accounts of the To Subinventory and decreases the From
Subinventory, but has no net effect on overall inventory value.If you specify the same
subinventory as the From and To Subinventory, you can move material between locators within a
subinventory.

Expense Subinventories and Expense Items


You can issue from an asset to an expense subinventory, and you can issue from an expense
subinventory if the Oracle Inventory
INV:Allow Expense to Asset Transfer profile option is set to Yes.
The system assumes the material is consumed at the expense location.

Internal Requisitions :
You can use the internal requisitions to replenish inventory. You can source material from a
supplier, a subinventory within your organization, or from another organization. Depending upon
the source you choose, the accounting entries are similar to one of the proceeding scenarios.
However, unlike interorganization transfers, internal requisitions do not support freight charges.

Cycle Count and Physical Inventory :


Use cycle counting and physical inventory to correct inventory onhand balances. A cycle count
updates the accounts of the affected subinventory and offsets the adjustment account you
specify.
If you physically count more than your onhand balance, the accounting sentries are:
Account
Subinventory accounts @ standard cost

Credit
XX

If you count less than your onhand balance, the accounting entries are:

Like a cycle count, a physical inventory adjustment also updates the accounts of the affected
subinventories and the physical inventory adjustment account you specify.

Suggestion: Since the standard cost is not stored as you freeze the physical quantities, you
should not perform a standard cost update until you have adjusted your physical inventory.

Expense Subinventories and Expense Items


The system does not record accounting entries for expense subinventories or expense items for
either physical inventory or cycle count adjustments. However, the onhand balance of an
expense subinventory is corrected if you track the quantities.

Move Transactions
A move transaction moves assemblies within an operation, such as from Queue to Run, or from
one operation to the next. Move transactions can automatically launch operation completion
backflushing and charge resources and overheads.
You can perform move transactions using the Move Transactions window, Open Move
Transaction Interface window, or the Enter Receipts window in Purchasing.

Backflush Material Transactions


With backflushing, you issue component material used in an assembly or subassembly by
exploding the bills of material, and then multiplying by the number of assemblies produced.
Move transactions can create operation pull backflush material transactions that issue component
material from designated WIP supply subinventories and locators to a job or repetitive schedule.
For backflush components under lot or serial number control, you assign the lot or serial numbers
during the move transaction.
When you move backward in a routing, Work in Process automatically reverses operation pull
backflush transactions.

Moved Based Resource Charging


As the assemblies you build pass through the operations on their routings, move transactions
charge all preassigned resources with an autocharge type of WIP Move at their standard rate.
You can charge resources based upon a fixed amount per item moved in an operation (Item
basis) or based upon a fixed lot charge per item moved in an operation (Lot basis). For resources
with a basis of Lot, Work in Process automatically charges the lot cost upon completion of
the first assembly in the operation.
You can also enter manual resource transactions associated with a move, or independent of any
moves. You can manually charge resources to a job and repetitive schedule provided the job and
repetitive schedule has a routing. You can also transact resources through the Open Resource
Transaction Interface.

Resource Charges
Work in Process supports four resource autocharging methods:
Manual, WIP Move, PO Move, and PO Receipt.
You can charge resources at an actual rate.
You can also charge resource overheads automatically as you charge resources.
WIP Move Resource Charges You can automatically charge resources at their standard rate to a
job or repetitive schedule when you perform a move transaction using either the Move
Transactions window or the Open Move Transaction Interface. When you move assemblies from
the Queue or Run intra operation steps forward to the To move, Reject, or Scrap intraoperation
steps, or to the next operation, Work in Process charges all preassigned resources with an
charge type of WIP Move at their standard rate. For resources with a basis of Item, Work in
Process automatically charges the resources usage rate or amount multiplied by the
resources standard cost upon completion of each assembly in the operation. For resources with
a basis of Lot, Work in Process automatically charges the resources usage rate or amount
multiplied by the resources standard cost upon completion of the first assembly in the operation.

You can undo the WIP Move resource charges automatically by moving the assemblies from
Queue or Run of your current operation to Queue or Run of any prior operation, or by moving the
assemblies from the To move, Reject, or Scrap intraoperation steps backward to the Queue or
Run intraoperation steps of the same operation, or to any intraoperation step of any prior
operation.
Work in Process applies WIP Move resource transactions to multiple repetitive schedules on a
line based on how the assemblies being moved are allocated. Work in Process allocates moves
across multiple repetitive schedules based on a first infirst out basis.
Manual Resource Charges
You can charge manual resources associated with a move transaction or independent of any
moves. Manual resource transactions require you to enter the actual resource units applied rather
than autocharging the resources usage rate or amount based on the move quantity. You can
charge resources using that resources unit of measure or any valid alternate. You can manually
charge resources to a job or repetitive schedule provided the job or repetitive schedule has a
routing. If you use the Move Transactions window to perform moves and manual resource
transactions at the same time, Work in Process displays all preassigned manual resources with
an charge type of Manual assigned to the operations completed in the move. If the resource is a
persontype resource, you can enter an employee number. In addition to the resources
displayed, you can manually charge any resource to a job or repetitive schedule, even if you have
not previously assigned the resource to an operation in the job or repetitive schedule.
You can also manually charge resources to an operation added ad hoc by entering any resource
defined for the department associated with the operation. Work in Process applies Manual
resource transactions to the first open repetitive schedule on the line. You can correct or undo
manual resource transactions by entering negative resource units worked.

actual rates and quantities are recorded, a rate variance is recognized immediately for
any rate difference. Any quantity difference is recognized as an efficiency variance at period
close.

PO Receipt and PO Move Transactions


You can receive purchased items associated with outside resources from an outside processing
operation back into work in process in Oracle Purchasing. For these items, Work in Process
creates resource transactions at the standard or actual rate for all outside resources with
an autocharge type of PO receipt or PO move. For outside resources with an autocharge type of
PO move, Work in Process also moves the assemblies from the Queue or Run intraoperation
step of the outside processing operation into the Queue intraoperation step of the next
operation or into the To move intraoperation step if the outside processing operation is the last
operation on the routing.
If you assigned internal resources to an outside operation with an autocharge type of Manual,
charge the resources using the Resource Transactions window or the Open Resource
Transaction Interface.
If you return assemblies to the supplier using the Enter Returns and Adjustments window in
Oracle Purchasing, Oracle Purchasing automatically reverses the charges to all automatic
resources associated with the operation. You must manually reverse all manual resource charges
using the Resource Transactions window. For outside resources with an autocharge type of PO
move, Oracle Purchasing automatically moves the assemblies from the Queue intraoperation
step of the operation immediately following the outside processing operation into the Queue
intraoperation step of your outside processing operation.
If the outside processing operation is the last operation on the routing, the assemblies
automatically move from the To move intraoperation step to the Queue intraoperation step. PO
move resource transactions are applied to multiple repetitive schedules on a line based on how
the assemblies being moved are allocated. Moves are allocated across multiple repetitive
schedules on a first infirst out basis. PO receipt resource transactions are allocated across
schedules on a first in first (FIFO) out basis.

Outside Processing Charges


Work in Process automatically creates resource transactions at the standard or actual rate for all
outside processing resources with an charge type of PO Receipt or PO Move when you receive
assemblies from an outside processing operation back into work in process, using the Enter
Receipts window in Purchasing. For outside processing resources with an charge type of PO
Move, Work in Process also performs a move of the assemblies from the Queue or Run
intraoperation step of your outside processing operation into the Queue intraoperation step of
your next operation or into the To move intraoperation step if the outside processing operation is
the last operation on your routing.
If you assigned internal resources to an outside operation with an charge type of Manual, you use
the Move Transactions window or the Open Resource Transaction Interface to charges these
resources.
If you return assemblies to the supplier, Work in Process automatically reverses the charges to all
automatic resources associated with the operation. You must manually reverse all manual
resource charges using the Move Transactions window. For outside processing resources
with an charge type of PO Move, Work in Process automatically moves the assemblies from the
Queue intraoperation step of the operation immediately following the outside processing
operation into the Queue intraoperation step of your outside processing operation.
If the outside processing operation is the last operation on your routing, Work in Process
automatically moves the assemblies from the To move intraoperation step to the Queue
intraoperation step. Work in Process applies PO Move resource transactions to multiple repetitive
schedules on a line based on how the assemblies being moved are allocated. Work in Process
allocates moves across multiple repetitive schedules based on a first infirst out basis. Work in
Process applies PO Receipt resource transactions to the first open repetitive schedule
on the line.
Costing Outside Processing Charges at Standard
When you receive the assembly from the supplier, Purchasing sends the resource charges to
Work in Process at either standard cost or actual purchase order price, depending upon how you
specified the standard rate for the outside processing resource.
If the Standard Rates option is enabled for the outside processing resource being charged, the
system charges Work in Process at the standard rate and creates a purchase price variance for
the difference between the standard rate and the purchase order price. The accounting entries for
outside processing items are as follows:

Overhead Charges
Move Based Overhead Charging
Work in Process automatically charges appropriate overhead costs as you move assemblies
through the shop floor. You can charge overheads directly based on move transactions or based
on resource charges. For overheads charged based on move transactions with a basis of Item,
Work in Process automatically charges overheads upon completion of each assembly in the
operation. Work in Process automatically reverse these charges during a backward move
transaction.
For overheads based on move transactions with a basis of Lot, Work in Process automatically
charges overheads upon completion of the first assembly in the operation. Work in Process
automatically reverses these charges during a backward move transaction if it results in zero
net assemblies completed in the operation.
Resource Based Overhead Charging
Work in Process automatically charges appropriate overhead costs as you charge resources. You
can charge overheads based on resource units or value. Work in Process automatically reverses
overhead charges when you reverse the underlying resource charge.

Assembly Scrap Transactions


You can move partially completed assemblies that you consider unrecoverable to the Scrap
intraoperation step of that operation. (If necessary, you can recover assemblies from scrap by
moving them to another intraoperation step.) By moving into the Scrap intraoperation step, you
can effectively isolate good assemblies from bad.
Work in Process considers a move into the Scrap intraoperation step from the Queue or Run of
the same operation as an operation completion, and thus updates operation completion
information, backflushes components, and charges resource and overhead costs
according to the elemental cost setup.
You can also move assemblies back to the Scrap intraoperation step of the previous operation for
Queue or Run if no work has been completed at the current operation.
Costing Assembly Scrap Transactions
When you define Work in Process parameters, you can specify whether moves into the Scrap
intraoperation step require a scrap account. If you enter a scrap account or alias when you move
assemblies into Scrap, the scrap account is debited and the job or repetitive schedule elemental
accounts for the standard cost of the assembly through the scrap operation are credited. This
removes the cost of the scrapped assemblies from the job or repetitive schedule. If you do not
enter a scrap account or select an alias, the cost of the scrap remains in the job Or schedule until
job or period close. If you recover assemblies from scrap, the scrap account is credited and the
job or repetitive schedule elemental accounts for the standard cost of this assembly through this
operation are debited.

Assembly Completion Transactions


Use the Completion Transactions window, Move Transactions window, and Inventory Transaction
Interface to move completed assemblies from work in process into subinventories. Completion
transactions relieve the valuation account of the accounting class and charge the subinventory
accounts (for example, finished goods) based upon the assemblys elemental cost structure.

Use nonstandard expense jobs for such activities as repair and maintenance. Use nonstandard
asset jobs to upgrade assemblies, for teardown, and to prototype production. Nonstandard
discrete jobs do not earn overhead on completion. Since you have already earned overhead to
produce the assemblies as you are repairing or reworking, Work in Process prevents you from
double earning material overhead on these assemblies.

Job Close Transactions


Until you close a job, or change the status of the job to Complete No Charges, you can make
material, resource, and scrap charges to the job. Closing a discrete job prevents any further
activity on the job.
Costing Job Close Transactions
Work in Process recognizes variances when you close a job. The actual close date you specify
determines the accounting period Work in Process uses to recognize variances. You can back
date the close to a prior open period if desired. The close process writes off the balances
remaining in the WIP elemental valuation accounts to the elemental variance accounts you
defined by accounting class, leaving a zero balance remaining in the closed job.

Period Close Transactions


The period close process in Inventory recognizes variances for nonstandard expense jobs and

Costing NonStandard Expense Job Period Close Transactions
You can close discrete jobs and recognize variances for nonstandard expense jobs at any time.
In addition, the period close process automatically recognizes variances on all nonstandard
expense job charges incurred during the period. Therefore, open nonstandard expense jobs
have zero WIP accounting balances at the start of a new period.

You do not close a repetitive schedule. However, you do recognize variances on a period basis

transactions and balances using the Repetitive Value Report before you close a period.
When you define Work in Process parameters, you can specify which repetitive schedule
variances you recognize when you close an
accounting period. You can either recognize variances for all repetitive schedules when you close
an accounting period, or recognize variances for those repetitive schedules with statuses of either
Complete No Charges or Cancelled.

Work in Process Standard Cost Update Transactions


The standard cost update process revalues standard and nonstandard asset discrete jobs and
updates pending costs to frozen standard costs. Repetitive schedules and nonstandard expense
jobs do not get revalued by the cost update.
The cost update creates accounting transactions by job and cost element valuation account.
Each standard and nonstandard asset discrete job is updated using the following formula:
Standard cost update adjustment = [new costs in (material, resource, outside processing,
and overhead charges)- new costs out (scrap and assembly completion charges)] - [old
costs in (material, resource, outside processing, and overhead charges) - old costs out
(scrap and assembly completion charges)]

When the cost update occurs for open jobs, standards and WIP balances are revalued according
to the new standard, thus retaining relief variances incurred up to the date of the update.

Standard Cost Valuation


Inventory and Work in Process continually update inventory value with each transaction. Work in
Process balances are updated with each related accounting transaction. Inventory subinventory
values may be reported when the quantity movement occurs.

Value by Cost Element


Inventory or work in process value is maintained and reported on by distinct cost element (such
as material, material overhead, and so on), even if you assign the same general ledger valuation
account to each cost element. You can also report work in process value by cost element within
specific WIP accounting classes.

Standard Costing
Under standard costing, the value of inventory is determined using the material and material
overhead standard costs of each inventory item. If you use Bills of Material, Inventory maintains
the standard cost by cost element (material, material overhead, resource, outside processing,
and overhead).

Unlimited Cost Types


You can define an unlimited number of cost types and use them with any inventory valuation and
margin analysis reports. This allows you to see the potential effects of a cost rollup/update. You
can also update your standard costs from any of the cost types you have defined. When you use
Bills of Material with Inventory, you can specify the cost type in explosion reports and report these
costs for simulation purposes

Inventory and Work in Process Standard Cost Variances


This section describes Inventory standard cost variances and Work in Process standard cost
variances.

Inventory Standard Cost Variances


In general, Inventory records purchase price variance (PPV) and recognizes cycle count and
physical inventory adjustments as variances.

Purchase Price Variance (PPV)


During a purchase order receipt, Inventory calculates purchase price variance. In general, this is
the difference between what you pay the supplier and the items standard cost. Inventory
calculates this value as follows:
PPV = (PO unit price standard unit cost) - quantity received.
Inventory updates the purchase price variance account with the PPV value. If the purchase order
price is in a foreign currency, Inventory converts it into the functional currency of the inventory
organization and calculates the purchase price variance. Purchasing reports PPV using the
Purchase Price Variance Report. You distribute this variance to the general ledger when you
perform the general ledger transfer, or period close.

Invoice Price Variance (IPV)


In general, invoice price variance is the difference between the purchase price and the invoice
price paid for a purchase order receipt. Purchasing reports invoice variance. Upon invoice
approval, Payables automatically records Invoice Price Variance, to both invoice price
variance and exchange rate variance accounts.

Cycle Count and Physical Inventory


Inventory considers cycle count and physical inventory adjustments as variance. You distribute
these variances to the general ledger when you perform the general ledger transfer or period
close.

Work in Process Standard Cost Variances


Work in Process provides usage, efficiency, and standard cost adjustment variances.

Usage and Efficiency Variances


Usage and efficiency variances result when the total costs charged to a job or schedule do not
equal the total costs relieved from a job or schedule at standard. Charges occur from issues and
returns, resource and overhead charges, and outside processing receipts. Cost relief occurs from
assembly completions, scrap transactions, and close transactions.
You can view these variances in the Discrete Job Value report, the Repetitive Value report, and
by using the WIP Value Summary window.
Work in Process reports usage and efficiency variances as you incur them, but does not update
the appropriate variance accounts until you close a job or period. Work in Process updates the
standard cost adjustment variance account at cost update.
Usage and efficiency variances are primarily quantity variances. They identify the difference
between the amount of material, resources, outside processing, and overheads required at
standard, and the actual amounts you use to manufacture an assembly. Efficiency variance can

also include rate variance as well as quantity variance if you charged resources or outside
processing at actual.
You can calculate and report usage and efficiency variances based on planned start quantity or
the actual quantity completed. You can use the planned start quantity to check potential variances
during the job or repetitive schedule. You can use the actual quantity completed to
check the variances before the job or period close. Your choice of planned start quantity or actual
quantity completed determines the standard requirements. These standard requirements are
compared to the actual material issues, resource, outside processing, and overhead charges to
determine the reported variance.
Work in Process calculates, reports, and recognizes the following quantity variances:

Material Usage Variance


The material usage variance is the difference between the actual material issued and the
standard material required to build a given assembly, calculated as follows:
standard material cost - (quantity issued - quantity required)
This variance occurs when you over or under issue components or use an alternate bill.

Resource and Outside Processing Efficiency Variance


The resource and outside processing efficiency variances is the difference between the resources
and outside processing charges incurred and the standard resource and outside processing
charges required to build a given assembly, calculated as follows:
(applied resource units X standard or actual rate) - (standard resource units at standard resource
rate)
This variance occurs when you use an alternate routing, add new operations to a standard
routing during production, assign costed resources to No direct charge operations skipped by
shop floor moves, overcharge or undercharge a resource, or charge a resource at
actual.

Move Based Overhead Efficiency Variance


Move based overhead efficiency variance is the difference between overhead charges incurred
for move based overheads (overhead basis of Item or Lot) and standard move based overheads
required to build a given assembly, calculated as follows:
applied move based overheads - standard move based overheads
This variance occurs when you use an alternate routing, add operations to a standard routing
during production, or do not complete all the move transactions associated with the assembly
quantity being built.

Resource Based Overhead Efficiency Variance


Resource based overhead efficiency variance is the difference between overhead charges
incurred for resource based overheads (overhead basis of Resource units or Resource value)
and standard resource based overheads required to build a given assembly, calculated as
follows:
applied resource based overheads - standard resource based overheads

This variance occurs when you use an alternate routing, add new operations to a standard
routing during production, assign costed resources to No direct charge operations skipped by
shop floor moves, overcharge or undercharge a resource, or charge a resource at actual.

Standard Cost Adjustment Variance


Standard cost adjustment variance is the difference between costs at the previous standards and
costs at the new standards created by cost update transactions.

Standard and Average Costing Compared


Cost Management offers two costing methods: standard costing and average costing.
Average costing is used primarily for distribution and other industries where the product cost
fluctuates rapidly, or when dictated by regulation and other industry conventions.
Average costing allows you to:
value inventory at a moving average cost
track inventory and manufacturing costs without the requirement of having predefined
standards
determine profit margin based on an actual cost method
measure the organizations performance against historical costs
include all direct costs of manufacturing an item in that items inventory cost
Use standard costing for performance measurement and cost control. Standard costing
allows you to:
value inventory at a predetermined cost
determine profit margin based on projected costs
record variances against expected costs
update standard costs from any cost type
evaluate production costs relative to standard costs
measure the organizations performance based on predefined product costs
evaluate product costs to assist management decisions

Under average costing, you cannot share costs. Average costs are maintained separately in each
organization. Under standard costing if you use Inventory without Work in Process,you can define
your item costs in the organization that controls your costs and share those costs across
organizations. If you share standard costs across multiple organizations, all reports, inquiries, and
processes use those costs. You are not required to enter duplicate costs.
Note: The organization that controls your costs can be a manufacturing organization that uses
Work in Process or Bills of Material. Organizations that share costs with the organization that

The system maintains the average unit cost at the organization level; it does not use any
subinventory valuation accounts. If you had separate valuation accounts by subinventory, total
inventories would balance, but account balances by subinventory would not match the inventory
valuation reports.
Note: Cost Management enforces the same account number for organization level material and
intransit accounts. Otherwise the balances of inventory valuation reports do not
equal the sum of accounting transactions.

Changing from Standard to Average Costing


Once transactions have been performed you cannot change the costing method of an
organization in the Organization Parameters window in Oracle Inventory.
