Discrete jobs are assemblies built in specific - discrete quantities. The jobs or work orders use specific materials
and resources.

User Statuses
You can manually change user controlled statuses. For example, you can change a job's status
from Unreleased to Released to initiate the production cycle. Some user statuses are based on
eventswhen you complete the total quantity of a job into inventory, Work in Process
automatically changes the status of the job to Complete.
Statuses that can be reversed are: Unreleased, Released, CompleteNo Charges, On Hold,
Canceled, and Closed.

Job Quantities
Job Quantities
Quantities are used to determine:
Material requirements
Schedules
Resource load
Dates
Quantities
Start
MRP Net
Job Quantities
The start quantity value for jobs with bills and routings is used to automatically calculate the
component material requirements, department schedules, resource load, and job start and end
dates.
For non-standard jobs, to perform move and completion transactions, the start quantity must be
greater than zero.
You can specify whether a job's material requirements are included as demand in the MRP
netting process by entering a value in the MRP Net quantity field. This value uses the start
quantity value as a default.

Job Dates
Job Dates
Job Dates
For jobs with routings, if you enter a start date and time the completion date and time are
automatically forward scheduled based on the assembly's routing. Similarly, if you enter a
completion date, the start date and time are automatically backward scheduled based on the
assembly's routing.
For jobs without routings, if you enter only one date and time and your job type is standard, the
missing date and time is calculated using the fixed and variable lead time of the assembly. If
the job type is non-standard, the other dates and times are calculated using the fixed and
variable lead time of the routing reference.
The WIP:Default Job Start Date profile option is used to specify whether the start date for a job
defaults to the current date and time.
Note: A discussion of how dates effect scheduling jobs is discussed in the Defining Scheduling
and Resources lesson.

Bill Revision
Bill Revision
Bill Revision
Engineering change orders (ECO) are a record of revisions to your bills of material. This
enables you to have the correct revision changes for work as it progresses on the shop floor.
The bill revision and date determines which version of the bill of material is used to create
component and resource requirements. You can update the bill revision of a standard discrete
job as long as the job remains unreleased.
Oracle Advanced Planning provides functionality enabling you to align Work in Process
production with engineering changes for planning. Engineering Change Orders Use-Up
Effectivity is described in the Updating Material Requirements lesson.

You can select an alternate routing if alternates have been defined for the assembly you are
building. If the WIP:See Engineering Items profile option is set to Yes, you can select
engineering routings as alternates.

Completion Subinventory
Completion Subinventory
Completion Subinventory
Assemblies are completed into or returned from this subinventory. If the assembly has a
routing, the completion subinventory is defaulted from the routing but can be changed. You can
also change this value when completing assemblies.

Job Attachments
Job Attachments
You can attach documents and graphics to jobs
Job Attachments
Work in Process provides ability to display attached instructions and documents pertaining to
your production. This can include procedures, diagrams, and assembly instructions.
For jobs created and viewed on the Discrete Jobs window or Discrete Workstation, use the Job
and Schedule Documents window to create a catalog of standard job and schedule documents
For jobs viewed on the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Workstation, attachments are
defined on the Workstation Parameters page and viewable from the Work Content page.

Viewing Operations
The operation code is a label identifying a standard operation. The operation sequence is a
number that orders operations in a routing relative to each other.
After saving a job, you can access the Components and Operations windows to view the details
of the job, including its material requirements, operations, and operation material and resource
requirements. You can view operation information in Work in Process in a variety of ways:
On the Discrete Jobs window, select Operations to display the Operations window
Navigate to Job/Schedule Details to access the Operations window
On the Discrete Workstation, operations display for jobs in a graphical view and
hierarchical list display
On the MES Workstation, operations display on the Operations region page, Dispatch List,
and transaction pages.
