Any one implementing OPM in R12

[GTech]

Is any one implementing OPM in R12 yet?

If so, what is the feedback? Anything gotchas to watch out for?

Please share your experience

so far there is a great improvement in some features inR12:

the inventory is common so thats a huge improvement, you could creat a single organization for the plant and labs....thats also a good point....

the down side is the supply chain planning ...it requires Advanced Supply Chain Planning module...i guess its great if you will use the complex features ..but if you just want simple capacity planning and just core planning features....its too much of a hassle

thats my opinion so far ....could change soon :rolleyes:

I think it is much better than OPM 11i.Oracle quality can also be used with OPM quality.Company/ware house feature replaced by inventory organization and subinventory.The organization structure is same as Discrete organization.In OPM R12 , one feature is unavailable that is Outside processing.OPM MRP has been replaced by ASCP.For Multiorganization scenario ASCP is very useful.The MAC (part of OPM Costing) also replaced by Subledger accounting (Rule based SLA).MIN-Max planning can be done for OPM item (i think it was not possible in 11i).

Hi Uttamde,

Thank you for your support. Can you pls send me the setup screenshots of Subledger accounting? Iam struck with the SLA.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Ramesh

You just copy the oracle seeded (if seeded one is not appropriate for your use)Application Accounting Definition with Jounal Line type,Journal line definition and Acount Derivation Rule (ADR).In ADR you can set your account code combination with condition.

You will see the owner of copied AAD /JLT/JLD/ADR will be "user".

after coping all the event types, and setting Account code Validate the application accounting definition.


Then make your transaction and run all the related process and see the accounting event generated for that transaction

HI,

If i am using the oracle seeded "Journal lines definitions" it has Account derivation rule value type as source and Value as Transaction Account.The Production Batch will not have any transaction Account, how the system will pick up account.So we have manually defined Condition for Batch release,Batch Completion,Batch Close.The Problem is that Inventory Account(INV)and Work in progress(WIP) we are maintaining different GL account based on GL class.

Batch release(Ingredients:RAW MILK)
INV -Credit(Eg:Stock of raw Milk)
WIP-Dedit(Eg: WIP Of raw milk)

Batch Complete(Product:RAW CHILLED MILK)

INV-Debit(eg:Stock of Raw Chilled Milk)
WIP-Credit(it is happening as WIP Of Raw Chilled Milk -But It should be happening as WIP of RAW milk so that it will knock off With Batch Release )

WIP
Condition:(IF Journal Line Type =INV and Item Gl Class=1,2,...so on)
so it is Picking WIP Gl account based on the product code but it should pick up WIP of ingredients happened in Batch Release

How to change the Condition for the things to get happened?

[uttamde]

Hi,

I could not understand your explanation. For WIP why the condition JLT=INV?

it should be JLT = WIP, in wip apply only condition (JLT= WIP) and try whether issue resolved .

Or you can send your screen shots so that i can find any clues.

Hi
I have uploaded the problem with setup screen shot

Hi,
Ramesh
If I am not wrong then :-

Why you are using Finish good WIP account, I do not know.

The process goes like this

Release:-

Raw material (Inventory) ---Credit
WIP material account ----Debit.

Completion:-

WIP Material account----Credit
Fg (inventory)-------------Debit

You are trying to define Raw mat. WIP and FG Mat WIP. I am not sure whether it is possible or not.

In WIP there is no identity of neither Raw material nor Finished good.So how you will transfer raw mat. WIP account to FG mat. WIP account?

In case of WIP you may use only one intermidiate account (for both raw and FG material) code with single condition like JLT = WIP.(If your business allows)

Any comments?

Hi
Team


It was nice eg. as far as Batch Release(WIP) and Complete is concerned.

Meanwhile severla times I have understood the concept of SLA in R12, but I have not done any set up in this, I would request you that, if u can send the complete set ups for this I would be thankful to you.

my e mail id. rs_pwc@yahoo.co.in

kindly do the needful.

Thanks
Raj
