According to the Oracle SCM Business Process Certified Foundations Associate Rel 2 document 1 , WIP, Contract Manufacturing, and Supply type are three item attributes that belong to the Manufacturing Attribute group. The Manufacturing Attribute group contains attributes that define how an item is manufactured or procured. WIP is an attribute that indicates whether an item is enabled for work in process (WIP) transactions, such as creating and releasing work orders, reporting material and resource usage, etc. Contract Manufacturing is an attribute that indicates whether an item is manufactured by a contract manufacturer (CM) or by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Supply type is an attribute that determines how material is issued to a work order, such as push, pull, bulk, supplier, etc.

According to the Oracle Manufacturing Cloud User Guide 3 , product genealogy is a feature that provides visibility into the history and composition of products throughout their lifecycle. Product genealogy offers three features: genealogy details (A), transaction history (B), and information ©. Genealogy details show the structure and relationships of products and their components at any point in time. Transaction history shows the chronological sequence of transactions that affected products and their components. Information shows additional attributes and attachments related to products and their components. Production cost (D) is not a feature offered by product genealogy in Manufacturing Cloud, but rather a separate feature that calculates and reports the cost of production orders and work orders.

According to the Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud: Order to Cash training course 3 , back-to-back fulfillment of a make item in a sales order involves four Cloud Applications: Order Management, Supply Chain Orchestration, Manufacturing, and Inventory. Order Management captures and validates the sales order, Supply Chain Orchestration creates and manages the supply order, Manufacturing executes the production order, and Inventory receives and ships the finished goods. Purchasing (B) is not involved in back-to-back fulfillment of a make item in a sales order, but it is involved in back-to-back fulfillment of a buy item in a sales order.

According to the Oracle SCM Business Process Certified Foundations Associate Rel 2 document 1 , material reservation is the process of allocating material to a specific work order or operation. The key operational tasks associated with material reservation are: manage production, execute production, and manage inventory transactions. Manage production is the task of creating and releasing work orders, scheduling and rescheduling operations, and monitoring production progress. Execute production is the task of reporting material transactions, such as issuing, returning, transferring, and adjusting material. Manage inventory transactions is the task of performing inventory movements, such as receiving, delivering, transferring, and adjusting inventory.

According to the Business Process Training and Certification - Oracle University document 2 , variance cost is the difference between input and output costs treated as. Variance cost is calculated by subtracting the output cost from the input cost for each work order operation. Variance cost reflects the efficiency or inefficiency of the production process. It can be positive or negative depending on whether the input cost is higher or lower than the output cost.

According to the Oracle Inventory Management Cloud User Guide, a reservation is a link between a supply source and a demand source. A supply source can be a purchase order (B), a transfer order ©, or a work order (D). A demand source can be a sales order line, an internal material transfer, or a work order component requirement. A sales order (A) is not a part of supplies of reservation, but rather a part of demands of reservation.

According to the Oracle Inventory Management Cloud User Guide, min-max planning is a replenishment method that maintains inventory levels between a minimum and a maximum quantity. Min-max planning can be performed at two planning levels: organization and sub inventory (A). Organization level min-max planning considers all sub inventories within an organization for replenishment. Sub inventory level min-max planning considers only one sub inventory within an organization for replenishment. Min-max planning does not support locator ©, project (B), or item (D) as planning levels.

According to the Oracle Supply Planning Cloud User Guide 2 , while defining a supply plan, a planning administrator can select any of the four forecast process options, which include forecast spreading (B), forecast consumption ©, sales order explosion (D), and past due demands based on plan option values (E). Forecast spreading is the option to spread forecast demand across time periods based on a predefined pattern. Forecast consumption is the option to consume forecast demand by sales orders or other sources of demand. Sales order explosion is the option to explode sales orders into their component demands based on the bill of materials. Past due demands based on plan option values is the option to include or exclude past due demands in a supply plan based on the plan option settings. Past due demands based on supply network model (A) is not a forecast process option, but rather a supply network model parameter that determines how past due demands are handled in a supply network model.

According to the Oracle Demand Management Cloud User Guide 2 , forecasting profiles are settings that define how forecasts are generated and displayed in demand plans. Forecasting profiles include forecast consumption ©, forecast bookings (D), and forecast shipments (E). Forecast consumption defines how forecast demand is reduced by sales orders or other sources of demand. Forecast bookings defines how bookings data is collected and displayed in demand plans. Forecast shipments defines how shipments data is collected and displayed in demand plans. Forecast sales (A) and promotional forecast (B) are not forecasting profiles that are pre-seeded in the system, but rather types of demand information that can be included in demand plans.

 According to the Business Process Training and Certification - Oracle University document 2 , in sales and operations planning, a planner compares the operating plan with the business plan and financial budgets and performs the action using four infotiles from the seeded financial review summary. The four infotiles are Revenue & Gross Margin Percentage, Cost Comparison, Plan Versus Forecast, and Unmet Revenue. These infotiles show the key financial metrics and indicators that help the planner evaluate the performance of the operating plan against the business plan and financial budgets.
