4. Completing Discrete Jobs

You complete job assemblies into inventory using the Completion Transactions and Move Transactions windows. You also use these windows to return completed assemblies back to jobs. When you complete or return assemblies, any remaining quantities are automatically updated. Note: You can also complete Work in Process assemblies using the Inventory Transaction Interface and the Open Move Transaction Interface.

Over–completions
You can complete an assembly quantity into inventory that is greater than the job start quantity, or move an assembly quantity that is greater than the quantity at an intraoperation step, whether or not the assemblies have a routing. This is referred to as an “over–completion,” and it is useful when your production process yields more assemblies than planned.
Note: You also can over–complete assemblies using the Inventory Transaction Interface and the Open Move Transaction Interface, but you must explicitly specify the over–completion transaction quantity, as it will not be derived by Work in Process.

To be able to over–complete assemblies on jobs, you must:

  • Set up a tolerance level to restrict the number of assemblies that can be over–completed
  • Enable the over–completion feature by checking the Over–completion check box on the Completion Transaction or Move Transaction windows when completing assemblies When you over–complete assemblies to Discrete jobs, all resources
  • are charged and any backflush components are backflushed

Backflushing
When you complete assemblies, all components with the supply type of Assembly pull are automatically backflushed. When components for assemblies under lot control, serial number control, or lot and serial control are backflushed upon assembly completion, you must assign lot and/or serial numbers to the components.

Shop Floor Statuses
You cannot complete assemblies from a job if a shop floor status that prevents shop floor moves has been assigned the To move intraoperation step of the last operation. In this case, you must assign a status that allows shop floor moves in order to complete the assemblies.

Outside Processing Operations
When a job or schedule with outside processing operations is changed to complete status – an informational warning message displays if open purchase orders or requisitions exist for any of the operations.

Sales Orders
Changing a job status to completed is prevented if open reservations exist. If you attempt one of these transactions for a job linked to a sales order, an error message displays. You must reduce the job quantity, or unlink the sales order to continue the transactions.

Non–Standard Job Completions
You must have an assembly and job quantity to complete a non–standard discrete job. You can complete an assembly quantity greater than the job start quantity, with or without a routing, as long as the quantity is within the tolerance set. For some non–standard jobs, such as those used for disassembly or equipment maintenance, there is no need to complete assemblies.

Final Assembly Order Completions
When you complete assemblies from final assembly orders using a completion transaction, reservations are automatically transferred from the job to the subinventory and locator based on sales order line delivery due dates. You may override the automatic transfer. When returning completed assemblies back to a final assembly order, you must enter the sales order line and delivery information so that the system knows which reservations to transfer from inventory to WIP.

Costing
Under standard costing, assemblies are received into inventory at standard cost and the job is relieved of costs at standard. Under average costing, assemblies are received and the job relieved of costs at average.

Serial Number Validations for Discrete Assembly Completions
For a serialized item returned to stock, validations occur to preventre–issuing to a different job. At the time of completion, serialized assemblies and components are available from stock if they have specific values set for discrete assemblies and components in the Serial Numbers window in Oracle Inventory:

Label Printing at Completion
Label printing capabilities are available at the time of completion. This provides the ability to create labels for any descriptive information or customer requirements.
