List Of Essential Oracle Apps Manufacturing Interview Questions
Q – 1 What are the master datas in Manufacturing process of Oracle Apps?
Ans- – Organizations
– Subinventory
– Locators
– Items
– Suppliers
– Optional BPA
– Sourcing Rules
– ASLs
– Department
– Resources (Man, Machine, etc)
– BOM & Routing
Q – 2 What is indented BOM?
Ans- In indented bill we can see the bill of material in multilevel tree structure
Q – 3 When the Internal Requisition will get generate if I define an OSP operation in sequence 30. 10 & 20 will be other than OSP operations?
Ans- The purchase requisition (PR) gets generated for OSP and not the internal requisition.
And it depends on the Requisition Creation Time parameter in WIP Parameters ‘Outside Processing’ Tab.
1. At Job/Schedule Release – The PR gets generated immediately after the Job or Schedule is released.
2. At Operation – The PR gets generated once the move transaction reach the Queue of the OSP operation sequence.
3. Manual – PR need to be generated manually.
Q – 4 What is oracle apps project planning?
Ans- it is not a module. It is the planning for implementing the oracle apps in a company.
Q – 5 Which type of BOM is not used in WIP?
Ans- Planning Bill of Material is BOM which includes component distribusion percentage. Distribution percentage will get applied at forecast explode.
Q – 6 What setups are done in WIP?
Ans- Below is general WIP set up.
1.Define WIP parameters (Req.)
2.Define WIP Accounting Classes (Req.)
3.Set WIP Profile Options (Req.)
4.Define Production Lines (Optional)
5.Define Repetitive assembly (Optional)
6.Define Schedule Groups (Optional)
7.Define Employees (Optional)
8.Define Employee Labor Rates (Optional)
9.Define Shop Floor Statuses (Optional)
11.Define Job/Schedule Docs (Optional)
12.Define Operation Documents (Optional)
Q – 7 What are phetom item? How are they user in business case?
Ans- It is the non-stockable item .phantom items are treated just like assemblies except that the phantom item itself does not show up when an assembly is exploded. The child items of the phantom are blown through and appear as children of the parent item to the phantom.
For example, I have an assembly called 5887M which contains a phantom item called 445-0001. When I add the 5887M to a work order and explode the 5887M ,the 445-0001 will not appear in the pick list, but it’s children will appear.
ERP handles phantom items in work orders in the following way. A phantom item will be exploded so that all it’s child items will be in the work order. After the work order is exploded, you will notice that the phantom item will not appear in the exploded BOM of the work order.
Q – 8 What is OSP cycle?
Ans- Osp cycle is only carrying out to incur the cost value in wip summary report,osp is usually doing only for each job,osp is generally mapping at wip operations level,once u r operations comming for osp know, that time automatically/manually we have to creat purchase req,and press the outside processing button at the footer level,then it is asking for u r desctete job number,and go
ahead to creat the pur req for that osp,then receive the osp item directly to shop floor,and the a/c is automatically in wip summary and in GL a/c.
Q – 9 What is work order less Transaction in WIP?
Ans- Work order less completion in WIP helps us to complete the job manually without creating a job.
example.
Suppose client wants to continue a job creation function in other ERP like peoplesoft,SAP but they wants to track inventory in Oracle apps at that we used to go for Work order less completion.
Q – 10 What is accouting class and where is it defined iN WIP?
Ans- Accounting classes are assigned and used when jobs, work orders,and repetive assemblies associated with production lines are defined.
Generally standard discrete, asset non-standard discrete and expense non-standard discrete. We need to assign an accounting class all your discrete jobs.
Standard discrete accounting classes can be used to group job costs. For example, if you build subassemblies and finished goods, you can define your accounting classes so that you can separately value and report the costs associated with subassembly and finished goods production.
Standard discrete accounting classes can be automatically defaulted when you create discrete jobs.
Non-standard discrete accounting classes can be used to group and report various types of non-standard production costs, such as field service repair or engineering projects.
For example to track recurring expenses – machine maintenance or engineering projects – with non-standard jobs, you can define and assign an accounting class with a type of expense non-standard to these jobs.
Repetitive accounting classes are used to group production costs and must be assigned to each repetitive line/assembly association that is created.
Every schedule for that assembly on that line uses these accounts. The accounts are charged whenever you transact against the line/assembly association.
Repetitive accounting classes can be automatically defaulted when you associate repetitive assemblies with production lines
Negigation is -Work in process–>setup–>Wip accounting classes
Q – 11 What are the Required Setups need to be done in Inventory?
Ans- Flexfields, Calendars, Locations, Legal Entities, Operating Units, Inventory Organizations: Acounting Info & Inventory Info. Costing Period should be open, Transaction Interface manager should be active
Q – 12 What is an Organization Assignment?
Ans- We define the item in the Item Master.So this particular item will see for all organizations.
If we want restrict this item to a particular organization that time we will use it.
In item master form go to tools and u could see there organization assignment, then it displays all organizations. So u choose whcih organization, check the checkbox and save it.
Q – 13 What are the Inventory Key flex fields?
Ans- Item Categries
Item catalog
System Items
Sale order issue
Stock locator
System items
Q – 14 Explain API?
Ans- API – the shorter for Application program interface.
They are routines/procedures/functions created withing the oracle applications to allow external/internal access to the execution of oracle standard functions/procedures/etc.
Basically API exists to allow external programs to execute oracle functionality and enforce integrity of data/procedures.
Q – 15 What are the Nine mandatory Flexi fields in Inventory set up?
Ans- There are only 7 Key-flex are mandatory in R12 Oracle EBS
1. Acount alias
2. System Item
3. Item Categories
4. Item Catalogs
5. Sales Order
6. Stock locator
7. Service item
Q – 16 What you know about AIM?
Ans- AIM methodology consists of 6 phases
Definition
Operation Analysis
Solution Design
Build
Transition, And
Production
Q – 17 What is Reorder point and Reorder quantity? and what is its significance?
Ans- Reorder point: We have specific on hand balance in warehouse when it is below than i specific quanity (say safety stock) a requisition/mo proposal will generate automatically. So the point at which this proposal will generate known as reorder point.
Reorder point quanity: The minimum order quantity which is defined in warehouse for generating reorder point proposals called reorder point quantity quanity.
Its very important from the planner point of view because as soon we will have less on hnad quanity it will trigger a requirment in the system for that perticular item.
