WHAT: Used to Control how component materials are:

• supplied to Discrete Jobs
• planned in Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning
• costed in Oracle Cost Management

HOW: Assign Supply Types

• to items defined in Oracle Inventory
• to components when creating BOM’s
•  

WIP Supply Types:
    Assembly Pull
-    Components issued to job when completing assemblies
-    Pulled from the supply subinventory assigned to the component
-    If a Non-Standard Job, you have an assembly referenced for that job

    Operation Pull
-    Components issued to job when completing backflush operations
-    Pulled from the supply subinventory assigned to the component
-    CanNOT assign to an assembly without a routing

    Push
-    Issued manually to jobs as required
-    Can specify the subinventory from which to issue push components 
-    Use 'WIP component issue' from material transaction form to issue the material

   Phantom
-    Assigned to BOM component subassemblies and items in Oracle BOM
-    Components of Phantom subassemblies used as if tied directly to the parent assembly
-    Do not appear on WIP jobs,  as subassemblies they lose their identity and become a collection of their components on the WIP job
-    When rolling up assembly costs, normally only the material cost under the phantom is rolled up to the parent, not the phantom routing costs.  NOTE: Two switches can be set that impacts leadtime and cost rollups.

    Bulk
-    Can be viewed and displayed on reports
-    Shows Shop Floor requirement but not transacted/backflushed
-    Often used for inexpensive items that are expensed at receipt
-    Can manually issue specific bulk components to a discrete job if desired.

    Supplier
-    Supplier component requirements can be included on bills of material. Requirements for supplier components are created when you define discrete jobs and repetitive schedules in Work in Process.
-  Supplier component requirements can be viewed and are displayed on reports. They provide information on the component materials that your suppliers provide but neednot be transacted.
-  Supplier components are notbackflushednor do they default when issuing all components for an assembly. You can, however, manually issue specific supplier components to discrete jobs and repetitive schedules.
