Do Not Use Database Tools to Modify Oracle Applications Data


Oracle STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that you never use SQL*Plus, Oracle Data Browser, database triggers, or any other tool to modify Oracle Applications data unless otherwise instructed. Oracle provides powerful tools you can use to create, store, change, retrieve, and maintain information in an Oracle database. But if you use Oracle tools such as SQL*Plus to modify Oracle Applications data, you risk destroying the integrity of your data and you lose the ability to audit changes to your data. Because Oracle Applications tables are interrelated, any change you make using an Oracle Applications form can update many tables at once. But when you modify Oracle Applications data using anything other than Oracle Applications, you may change a row in one table without making corresponding changes in related tables. If your tables get out of synchronization with each other, you risk retrieving erroneous information and you risk unpredictable results throughout Oracle Applications. When you use Oracle Applications to modify your data, Oracle Applications automatically checks that your changes are valid. Oracle Applications also keeps track of who changes information. If you enter information into database tables using database tools, you may store invalid information. You also lose the ability to track who has changed your information because SQL*Plus and other database tools do not keep a record of changes.

Mobile Supply Chain Applications Overview
This chapter covers the following topics: Overview of Mobile Supply Chain Applications Mobile Supply Chain Applications User Interface Mobile Manufacturing Mobile Quality Mobile Materials Management

Overview of Mobile Supply Chain Applications


The demand for accurate, real-time information throughout the supply chain has created mobile computing for manufacturing. Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications supports the interface of a mobile client device with a networked computer system. This application provides the ability to perform shop floor and warehouse transactions from any location in a facility using wireless radio frequency devices that can be hand-held, wearable, ring scanner systems, and lift truck mounted. You can perform data entry functions both manually and with a bar code scanner. Default values enable ease of use and accuracy and while performing supply chain and shop floor transactions. Transactions entered through mobile applications can be processed either immediately (on-line transactions) or asynchronously. As shown in this illustration, Oracles Internet Computing Architecture supports mobile Internet devices by providing a user interface for wireless devices that support a Telnet client.

Mobile Supply Chain Applications Overview

1-1

Internet Computing Architecture

Through the use of standard Internet technologies in concert with Oracle Internet platform products, Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications has the following features: The Mobile Server enables you to perform Oracle Application transactions using the Telnet Protocol Server. Information is sent from mobile industrial devices to the Telnet Listener. The information is processed and updated in the application database. You can create Work in Process shop floor transactions such as moves, issues, and returns using mobile devices. You can also view job, line and material status. Mobile devices enable you to enter inventory transactions at the point of use. Recording transactions in this way avoids duplicate data entry, and mobile device scanning can improve data entry accuracy. You can perform quality collection plan queries, enter data, and record the results of tests in a single business process. You are able to query up any specification created in Oracle Quality whether it is an item specification, supplier specification, or a customer specification.
Note: In some instances the name of a window described in the

body of the material may not match exactly with the name in the window. This is due to the name in the window being shortened or truncated because of the lack of space.

Mobile Applications Server


The Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications Server enables you to perform transactions using the Telnet Protocol Server. The Mobile Supply Chain Applications Server module has two sub-modules: Telnet Protocol Handler functions as the communication module between the client and the rest of the Telnet. Presentation Managerimplements the telnet protocol that actually renders the user interface on the connected telnet client.

Material Transactions
Oracle Mobile Manufacturing enables you to perform all work in process material transactions. This includes issuing material from inventory to charge against a job, reversing component issues, and issuing components from jobs to fill negative material requirements.
Note: You can set the Allow Negative Balances Parameter in Oracle

Inventory so that the inventory balances of items can be driven negative. Lot and serial number control are maintained when issuing components. You can issue partial requirement quantities and overissue requirements. You can issue any item even if it is not on the BOM for the job.

Over Picking
Over picking may be desirable for a number of reasons. It may improve operational efficiency to pick a whole container rather than to spend time unpacking a small residual quantity. It may be necessary to compensate for handling/shrinkage losses during shipment or in a manufacturing process. The picked item may have an intrinsic variation in quantity, and there is an agreement with the customer to accept such variations. Over picking support provides mobile pickers with the option to over pick material, with ease and flexibility, when transacting sales orders, manufacturing component move order requisitions or replenishment picks. This enables over picking of material through the mobile interfaces and helps streamline and speed up the execution of the entire material picking process.

To issue or return material for a job:


1. Navigate to the Material Transaction window.

Mobile Manufacturing

Material Transactions Page

2.

Select a transaction type. You can deliver parts to a job using component issue and take parts previously issued back to inventory using component return. You can also issue components to satisfy negative job requirements. When you issue negative requirement components, the components are returned from the job to inventory. You can reverse negative component issues with negative component returns. When you return components that have negative requirements, the components are issued from inventory to the job.
Note: The prompts for all material transactions are the

same. The window name distinguishes the transaction type: Issue, Return, Negative Issue, and Negative Return. 3. In the Job fieldenter, select from the list of values, or scan the discrete job. The Assembly number for the job you select displays in the Assembly field.

Serial Material Transactions


Oracle Mobile Manufacturing enables you to perform all work in process material transactions. This includes issuing material from inventory to charge against a job, reversing component issues, and issuing components from jobs to fill negative material requirements.
Note: You can set the Allow Negative Balances Parameter in Oracle

Inventory so that the inventory balances of items can be driven negative.

Serial Component Issue


Only items defined on the BOM can be issued and pushed to the job. If the components are under serial control, you can not issue more components than the required quantity. Components defined with supply type Push can be issued to a job any time after serial number association as long as the job is in status Released or Complete. You enter the parent serial number then components serial or item number, and genealogy is built based on this transaction. During serial component issue serial genealogy is created between the assembly and its components. For non serialized items, transaction quantity defaults to the lesser of required o r open quantity for the job as a whole, but you can override this default. For push issues of components that are only lot controlled, if components of more than one lot are being issued to a single assembly, you must perform one transaction for each component lot.

Serial Component Return


When you return a component to inventory, you must enter the parent serial number then the component serial or item number, and the genealogy is de-activated based on this transaction. You can only return a serial number issued to the current job. When you return the a serialized component. The serial genealogy is disabled. The return quantity of a serialized component is fixed at 1 and the return quantity of a non serialized component cannot exceed the quantity issued to the job.

To issue or return serial material for a job:


1. Navigate to the Serial Material Transaction window.

UCC128 / UCC14 Support


There is a growing acceptance for support of the barcoding and product number standards as promoted by UCC/EAN. The solution footprint for Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) has been expanded to include support for EAN/UCC-14. EAN/UCC-14 is used when identical consumer units are packaged into standard quantities of intermediate packs or shipping containers. EAN/UCC-14 is commonly used in a non-retail environment, particularly in distribution centers dealing with packaged goods. Complete support includes a cross-reference from EAN/UCC-14 to Item and Transaction unit of measure. You can perform mobile transactions by scanning the EAN/UCC-14 barcodes on standard packs and indicating the transaction quantity in number of standard packs.

Standard Receipts
When the routing on the receiving document indicates Standard Receipt, you initially receive the items into a receiving location. Receiving locations are designated areas where you temporarily store items before you deliver them to their final inventory destinations. Standard receipts can be inspected depending on the Receipt Routing Specified on the receiving document. The Receipt Information window is displayed after entering information on the Receipt window, and you have chosen <Done>. Depending on the specific receipt transactionthe document number and receiving source display, and a receipt number is generated for the transaction.

You can receive items from purchase orders (PO), internal shipments (Int Ship), return material authorizations (RMA), internal requisitions (Int Req) and All. The All function enables you to receive any type of receipt. The following sections detail how to receive each type of standard receipt.

Inventory Issues
Mobile Materials Management has the facility to perform alias issue transactions, and miscellaneous issue transactions. An account alias is an easily recognized name or label representing a general ledger account number. You can use the account alias instead of an account number to refer to the account. Miscellaneous issue transactions enable you to issue material to groups that are not inventory, receiving, or work in process such as a development group. This is how you can issue items that were acquired by means other than a purchase order.

Consigned and Vendor Managed Inventory


Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) is a procurement and planning practice in which you delegate key inventory management functions to one or more suppliers. Under this arrangement, the supplier determines the items, quantities, and delivery schedules on your behalf based on information the supplier receives from your inventory and procurement systems. Consigned inventory is on hand inventory that is physically located in an inventory organization but is still owned by a third party legal entity, like a supplier. Consigned/VMI transfers enable you to assume the planning and/or owning responsibility from the supplier. This transaction does not move goods, it changes the planning and/or owning organization from the supplier site to the internal organization that holds the goods. After you perform a planning transfer and run collection, your supplier can no longer see the transferred quantity in the on hand quantity column.

To perform a consigned / vendor managed inventory receipt:

Counting
Oracle Mobile Materials Management provides windows to perform cycle counting and complete physical inventory functions. You can perform cycle counting instead of taking complete physical inventories, to verify inventory quantities and values. Accurate system onhand quantities are essential for managing supply and demand, maintaining high service levels, and planning production. You can also perform replenishment counts that you have previously defined in the inventory desktop.

Cycle Counting
Cycle counting is the periodic counting of individual items throughout the course of the year to ensure the accuracy of inventory quantities and values. You can also perform a full physical inventory to reconcile systemmaintained item onhand balances with actual counts of inventory. However you cannot perform any transactions in or out of a subinventory while you conduct a physical inventory. You can perform a normal cycle count, as well as a serial triggered cycle count. In a serial controlled environment, you can enter or scan the serial number of the item, and derive the item, revision, and lot information. Before you can use the mobile device to enter cycle count entries, you must complete set up work in the desk top application. You must set up your ABC classes, and cycle count header information. See: Overview of ABC Analysis, Oracle Inventory Users Guide, and Overview of Cycle Counting, Oracle Inventory Users Guide.

The Oracle MSCA compliance labeling features enable you to do the following: Meet supplier-specific needs for bar code labels for both products and containers Meet customer-specific needs for bar code labels for both products and containers Produce partner-compliant shipping labels specific to the carrier, customer, and so on.
Note: .To design and print compliance labels, you will

need to use a third-party label printing package certified by Oracle Warehouse Management /Mobile Supply Chain Applications. As of October, 2003, the certified partners are as follows: Adobe, Formscape, Loftware, Optio, and Zebra. Setting up compliance labeling includes the following tasks: Describing Customer Labeling Requirements Setting Up Labels

Describing Customer Labeling Requirements


Customer labels are typically centered around the following major requirements: Label format Label data Bar code specifications Symbol content

The Oracle MSCA compliance labeling features enable all of these requirements to work together to meet your customerss guidelines. The MSCA supports the following label types: Materials label: The Material label provides information about an item, including the items lot information, if applicable. Serial label: The Serial label provides information specific to a serial of an item. Location label: The Location label provides information about a specific warehouse locators. The mobile Label Request page allows the user to manually request labels for locators & subinventories. These requests can be initiated one at a time, for each subinventory & each locator, or they can be issued for all locators of a particular subinventory, or all locators of all subinventories (if the subinventory is locator controlled). This can be done by selecting the seeded values All Subinventories and/or All Locators in the mobile page. Shipping label: The Shipping label provides information for an outbound shipment. It does not include information about the contents of the shipment, rather it includes only addresses and information that is pertinent to the shipment itself. Shipping Contents label: The Shipping Contents label provides information for an outbound shipment. It includes information for all of the contents that are part of that shipment.

Setting Up Labels
Setting up labels involves the following tasks: Defining Label Formats Associating Label Type to Business Flows

Defining Label Formats


When you define label formats, you are setting up the data fields that you want the system to include on a particular label. The following figure provides an example of the data that might appear on a small hazardous items content label. To define this label in the system, you would set up the label fields, serial number, item description, volume, and unit of measure, shown in the example.
Label Example

Associating Label Types to Business Flows


After you set up label formats, you must associate them to the specific warehouse business flow in which you want to use them. This association enables the label type to be printed automatically as part of that business flow. The following table provides a list of the various business flows and the types of labels that you can associate to each flow. The horizontal header row of the table lists the various label types available. The far left vertical column lists the warehouse-related business flow. Yes, indicates that the system can generate the label type for that business flow. No means that the system does not generate that label type for the business flow.

Using Barcode Identifiers
This appendix covers the following topics: Overview of Barcode Identifiers in Mobile Supply Chain Applications Oracle DI Functionality Oracle Mobile Applications DI Flow Setup for DI Support

Overview of Barcode Identifiers in Mobile Supply Chain Applications


Data Identifiers are used extensively for the purpose of identifying the type of data that is embedded within a barcode. A DI usually consists of one to three characters prepended to the data that is encoded in the barcode. For instance, a DI for Part Number might be P+. If the part number that were encoded in a given barcode were AS54888 then the barcode would encode the value P+AS54888 to indicate that the barcode is for a Part Number and that Part Number is AS54888. DIs are useful in reducing error caused by scanning the wrong barcode into a field on a mobile device. They are also helpful because they allow fields to be scanned out of order and values to be placed into the appropriate fields.

Oracle DI Functionality
Oracle Mobile Applications provides DI support for recognition of barcodes containing DIs and out-of-order scanning.

Field Recognition
Oracle Mobile Applications will recognize a DI that is included in a barcode and validate that DI with the field that the value is being scanned into. Depending on whether the DI is flagged to be required, a failed DI validation could result in an error message to the user. Each field on the mobile applications can be assigned one or more DIs to be validated against. In addition, each field may be optionally be flagged to require a DI. If a DI is required, a barcode that is scanned into this field must have one of the DIs assigned to that field. If no DI is found the mobile user will receive an error message. If a DI is not required, Oracle will validate against a DI if it is found, but if no DI is found, the entire value of the barcode will be inserted into that field.

Using Barcode Identifiers

A-1

Out of Order Scanning Oracle also supports Out-of-Order scanning through DIs. If a field is scanned containing a DI that corresponds to a field other than the field that the cursor is currently on, the value of that barcode will be entered into the appropriate field. The user can then continue and scan the barcode corresponding to the current field, or scan another DI identified barcode out of order. The value that is inserted into the Out-of-Order field will be validated against when the user navigates through that field. Because Oracle s field level validation generally depends on previous fields for validation to occur, the user must continue on the normal path of navigation through that field to complete the transaction. For instance, if a user is performing a Miscellaneous Issue of material using a mobile device, the user may first scan the Part Number being issued. That scan could be validated against a DI of P+ for the part number. The next scan is a barcode with the value Q+10. Oracle determines that there is a field on the current page that uses Q+ as a DI. Consequently, the value 10 is placed into the quantity field. The user must then scan the Subinventory and Locator that the material is being issued out of. Then the user navigates through the quantity field and the quantity is validated against the available quantity in the Subinventory and Locator scanned earlier.

Oracle Mobile Applications DI Flow


The following diagram displays the entire flow behind Oracle DI support. When a barcode is scanned, the mobile device pre-ends an ASCII control character (the Data Stream Indicator) to the data transmitted to the server. Oracle Mobile Server recognizes the Data Stream Indicator and searches for a recognizable Data Field Unidentified in the barcode data. A DI is recognized as being assigned to a field on the current page. The value from the barcode is extracted and inserted into the field represented by the DI.

Necessary Elements for DI Support


To support DI, the mobile device being used must support automatically pre-pending an arbitrary character to any scanned entry. All the mobile devices that are certified for use with Oracle Mobile Applications are required to support this functionality. Setting up the mobile device to enable DI support is discussed in the next section. The Oracle Mobile Server must be configured properly as well to support DI scanning. Finally, the specific Oracle Application being used through the mobile device must properly support DI functionality. Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications (Inventory Management segment) and Oracle Warehouse Management currently provide full support for DI functionality. Check with the specific product Users Guide if you are unsure as to whether DIs are supported.

Setup for DI Support


The setup to enable DI support involves three steps. The mobile device must be configured to pre-pend an ASCII control character to every scan. The Mobile Server must be configured to recognize the proper ASCII control character as indicating a scanned entry. Finally, the Applications must be set up to recognize DIs for each field on the mobile forms.

A-2

Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications Users Guide

Hardware Setup
The first step in configuring DI support is to configure the mobile device such to prebend the Data Stream Indicator to every scan. The Data Stream Indicator should be an ASCII control character (non-printable character). All the devices that are certified with Oracle Mobile Applications support this type of configuration. Most scanners can be configured by scanning configuration barcodes, navigating to a configuration menu through the device keypad, or by using a remote configuration tool. The default Data Stream Indicator is ASCII 28 File Separator. Unless there is a reason why this ASCII control character cannot be used, it should be used as the Data Stream Indicator. However, any ASCII control character may be used as the Data Stream Indicator except for Backspace (8), Horizontal Tab (9), Line Feed (10), Vertical Tab (11), Form Feed (12), Carriage Return (13), Shift Out (14), Shift In (15) or Escape (27). Mobile Server Setup After the device has been configured to prebend the Data Stream Indicator, the mobile server must be configured to recognize the appropriate Data Stream Indicator. Each device configuration can have a different Data Stream Indicator to support the varying capabilities of different mobile devices. The configuration setting is located in the device configuration file. The default device configuration setting (default_key.ini) that ships with the mobile server has the Data Stream Indicator set to the default: ASCII 28. The character that the device prepends to scanned entry must match with the entry in the.ini file for the device configuration being used in order for DIs to be fully supported. Applications Setup DI information is stored in the same place that the field labels for the mobile forms are stored the AK Dictionary. This is the same place that changes can be made to the field labels that show up on the mobile forms if larger, smaller, or more descriptive field labels are required. To access the AK Dictionary, you must log onto Oracle Applications on the desktop and access the responsibility AK Developer. Contact your system administrator if this responsibility is not assigned to your user. Navigating the AK Dictionary Once within the AK Developer Responsibility, DIs may be registered at two different levels the Attributes level or the Region Items level. Region Items are basically Attributes that have been assigned to a Region. DIs registered at the Region Items level take precedence over DIs registered at the Attribute level. To register DIs at the Attributes level, you may navigate to the Define Attributes form. From that form, the entries for each of the fields that show up on the mobile forms can be accessed. Attributes can be queried by the Attribute Name or the Label. The DI string should be entered in the field called Default Varchar2 Value See below for details on the format of the DI string. To register DIs at the Region Items level, you must know the Resource Table that is used by the specific mobile application being used (for Oracle Inventory and WMS it is INVRESOURCETABLE). The Resource Table can be queried up in the Region form the Define Regions form. For instance, to query up the Oracle Inventory Resource Table, you would query on Region ID = INVRESOURCETABLE. Once the appropriate Resource Table has been found, you can click on the Region Items button. On the Region Items form, you can view all the AK Region Items that are being used for mobile applications from that Resource Table. Locate the field that

Using Barcode Identifiers

A-3

corresponds to the proper field on the mobile page, and enter the DI string into the field called Default Varchar2 Value. Entering the DI String The DI String should be entered into the field called Default Varchar2 Value either on the Attributes level, or the Region Items level. The text that should be entered into this field should be in the following format: DI=Q+,q+,Q,q REQ=N The above text indicates that four DIs may be used for this field: the characters Q+, q+, Q, and q. It also indicates that a DI is not required for this field. To make a DI required for a field, use the text REQ=Y after the DI list. DIs should be listed in the order they should be validated against. Note: Be careful to include DIs that are subsets of other DIs after the original DI. For example, if the DI Q were listed before the DI Q+ and a barcode was scanned using the DI Q+, the Q would be removed from the barcode, but the + would remain as part of the field value and an error would occur. Oracle Mobile Applications comes seeded with various industry standard DIs to make the implementation process easier.
