According to the Oracle SCM Business Process Certified Foundations Associate Rel 2 document1,

assembly pull is the supply type that enables service item to be auto consumed into a work order.

Assembly pull means that material is automatically issued to a work order when it is completed.

Service item is a type of item that represents a service or activity that is performed on or for another

item, such as installation, repair, maintenance, etc. Service item can be auto consumed into a work

order if it is defined as an assembly pull component in the bill of material.

According to the Business Process Training and Certification - Oracle University document2, when an

original equipment manufacturer (OEM) outsources the manufacturing of products to a contract

manufacturer (CM), it uses a purchase order (PO) to place an order with the CM. A purchase order is

a document that specifies the terms and conditions of a purchase transaction between a buyer and a

seller. The PO contains information such as item, quantity, price, delivery date, payment terms, etc.

The PO serves as a legal contract between the OEM and the CM.

According to the Oracle Demand Management Cloud User Guide2, publishing demand plan is the

process of sending demand management data to an external system such as Oracle Supply Planning

Cloud or Oracle Sales Cloud. Publishing demand plan requires selecting a publish plan option that

defines what data to publish, how to publish it, and where to publish it. Publishing demand plan

allows users to share their approved demand plans with other stakeholders or systems for further

analysis or execution. Running demand plan (A), approving demand plan (B), comparing demand

plan (D), and archiving demand plan (E) are not processes that can be used to send demand

management data to an external system, but rather processes that can be used to generate, validate,

evaluate, or store demand plans.

According to the Oracle Inventory Management Cloud User Guide, material status control is a feature

that allows users to restrict transactions for certain items or lots based on their status. A material

status can be defined with different transaction types that are allowed or disallowed for items or lots

with that status. If intransit shipment transactions are not available under transactions allowed on

the edit material status page for active material status, it means that the intransit shipment

transaction type is not enabled for status control (D). The active material status usage being set to

sub inventory (A) or lot © does not affect the availability of intransit shipment transactions under

transactions allowed. The intransit shipment transaction type having a start date or not (B) does not

affect the availability of intransit shipment transactions under transactions allowed.

According to the Oracle Supply Planning Cloud User Guide2, 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 SCM Business Process Certified Foundations Associate Rel 2 document1,

production operator is the job role that is required to issue components to a work order. Production

operator is a person who performs the production activities on the shop floor, such as reporting

material and resource transactions, reporting output and scrap, printing labels and documents, etc.

Production operator can use the Issue Material task in Oracle SCM Cloud to issue components to a

work order. Components are the raw materials or subassemblies that are used to produce a finished

good. Issuing components means that the components are moved from the inventory location to the

work order location.

According to the Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud: Plan to Produce training course3, contract

manufacturing is the process of outsourcing the production of goods or services to a third-party

supplier. Contract manufacturing process in an organization requires four tasks to be set up: define

contract manufacturing organization (A), define contract manufacturer supplier ©, define contract

manufacturing items (D), and define work definition of the finished good item (E). A contract

manufacturing organization is an inventory organization that represents the location where the

contract manufacturer performs the production activities. A contract manufacturer supplier is a

supplier that provides contract manufacturing services to the buying organization. A contract

manufacturing item is an item that is produced by a contract manufacturer based on a work

definition provided by the buying organization. A work definition is a document that defines the

operations, resources, materials, and output for producing an item. Define contract manufacturer

customer (B) is not a task that is required to be set up to execute contract manufacturing process in

an organization, as it is not relevant to the buying organization.

According to the Oracle Manufacturing Cloud User Guide1, plant parameters are settings that define

the characteristics and behavior of a plant. Plant parameters include material parameters (A),

manufacturing calendar (B), and work areas ©. Material parameters define how materials are

managed and consumed in a plant, such as lot control, serial control, backflushing, etc.

Manufacturing calendar defines the working days and hours for a plant or a work area. Work areas

define the physical, geographical, or logical clusters of work centers that perform similar operations

or activities. Work orders (D) are not plant parameters, but rather documents that specify the details

of a production order that is executed in a plant.

According to the Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud: Order to Cash training course3, 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 Supply Planning Cloud User Guide3, the plan parameter section contains

several options that control how a supply plan is run and displayed. Some of these options are

planning calendar (B), level member (D), and exception set (F). A planning calendar defines the time

periods for which data is aggregated and displayed in a supply plan. A level member specifies the

level of detail for which data is collected and displayed in a supply plan. An exception set defines a

set of conditions that identify potential issues or opportunities in a supply plan. Forecast buckets (A),

price list ©, and output measure (E) are not present in the plan parameter section.
