Project Manufacturing is designed to support project-driven manufacturing processes, where

manufacturing activities are closely tied to specific projects or contracts.

With Oracle Project Manufacturing, companies can plan, execute, and control manufacturing processes
within the context of a project. It provides tools for project management, cost management, material
planning, scheduling, resource allocation, and production control. The module allows companies to track
project costs, manage project-specific inventory, and monitor the progress of manufacturing activities
related to a project.

Oracle Manufacturing focuses on core manufacturing processes, such as production planning, shop floor
control, work order management, inventory control, quality management, and product costing. It is
designed for companies that engage in regular production and manufacturing operations.

While Oracle Project Manufacturing module focuses on project-driven manufacturing processes. It

integrates manufacturing activities within the context of specific projects or contracts. It is suitable for
companies that have a significant portion of their manufacturing activities tied to project deliverables

It allows companies to track project costs in details, project specific labour, materials, subcontracts and
overhead costs. It provides cost visibility at project level and help monitoring projects profitability

Seiban refers to concept of using unique identifier or code to track and manage specific project related
activities components or deliverables.

A Seiban code, also known as a Seiban number or Seiban identifier, is typically a sequential or structured
alphanumeric code assigned to individual project tasks, work orders, or production units. It helps in
identifying and tracking the progress, costs, and resources associated with each specific item or activity
within a project.

In Oracle Project Manufacturing, the use of Seiban numbers can help track and manage specific project-
related activities, components, or deliverables. Here's how you can utilize Seiban numbers in project
manufacturing:

Enable Seiban Functionality: Ensure that the Seiban functionality is enabled and configured in your
Oracle Project Manufacturing system. This may involve setting up Seiban-related parameters and
options.

Define Seiban Number Format: Determine the format and structure of the Seiban numbers that will be
assigned to project-related items or activities. It could be alphanumeric, sequential, or follow a specific
pattern.

Assign Seiban Numbers: Assign Seiban numbers to various project-related entities, such as tasks, work
orders, production units, or other relevant items. You can either assign them manually or automate the
assignment process based on predefined rules.
Capture Seiban Data: Capture and store the Seiban numbers associated with project-related activities in
the appropriate Oracle Project Manufacturing modules. This ensures that the Seiban information is
linked and available for reporting, analysis, and tracking purposes.

Track Progress and Costs: Utilize the Seiban numbers to monitor the progress, costs, and resource
utilization of individual project tasks, work orders, or production units. You can use Oracle Project
Manufacturing modules to track and analyze the performance and financial aspects of each Seiban
number

Organization structure for ebs oracle project manufacturing

The key components of the organization structure in Oracle EBS Project Manufacturing are as follows:

Operating Unit: An operating unit is a business entity or division within your organization that has its
own set of financial books and accounting transactions. It represents a legal entity or a distinct
operational unit within your organization.

Organization Hierarchy: The organization hierarchy in Oracle EBS consists of a parent-child relationship
between operating units. This hierarchy allows you to represent the relationships between different
divisions, subsidiaries, or departments within your organization.

Business Group: A business group is a collection of related operating units. It serves as a container that
groups together operating units with similar business characteristics, such as common customers,
suppliers, or business processes.

Project Organization: A project organization represents a specific project or group of related projects
within an operating unit. It serves as a logical entity for managing and tracking the activities, resources,
costs, and revenue associated with the projects.

Project Classification: Project classification allows you to categorize projects based on specific criteria,
such as project type, project class, or project category. Project classification provides a way to
differentiate projects and apply specific rules, workflows, or accounting treatments to each category.

By setting up and configuring the organization structure in Oracle EBS Project Manufacturing, you can
effectively manage and control project-related activities, resources, costs, and revenue within your
organization. It provides a structured framework for project management and enables you to track and
report on project performance and financials.

To set up an Oracle project manufacturing system with navigation, you would typically follow these high-
level steps:

Define Project Manufacturing Structure: Set up the organizational structure for project manufacturing,
including the creation of project organizations, project templates, project types, and project classes.

Configure Project Manufacturing Options: Customize the project manufacturing options to align with
your specific business requirements. This includes defining parameters related to project accounting,
project costing, resource management, and project manufacturing integration.

Define Project Manufacturing Resources: Set up the resources required for project manufacturing, such
as labor resources, equipment, material resources, and outside processing resources. Define the
attributes, availability, and costs associated with each resource.

Establish Project Manufacturing Bill of Materials (BOMs): Create project BOMs that specify the materials
and components required for each project. Define the structure, quantities, and routings associated with
the BOMs. You can also establish alternate BOMs for different scenarios.

Create Project Manufacturing Routings: Define the sequence of operations required to manufacture or
assemble the project deliverables. Specify the work centers, labor, machines, tools, and other resources
required for each operation. Assign durations, dependencies, and setup times to each operation.

Define Project Manufacturing Costing: Establish costing methods and rules for project manufacturing.
Set up cost elements, cost organizations, and cost types. Define how costs are accumulated and rolled up
at various levels, such as project, task, and resource.

Set Up Project Navigation: Configure the project navigation menus and user access rights based on roles
and responsibilities within your organization. Customize the user interface to streamline the project
management and manufacturing processes.
Integrate with Other Oracle Modules: If required, integrate the project manufacturing system with other
Oracle modules such as Oracle Financials, Oracle Supply Chain Management, or Oracle Human Capital
Management. Configure the integration points and data flows between these modules.

Perform Testing and Training: Validate the system setup by conducting thorough testing of various
project manufacturing scenarios. Train users on how to use the system effectively, including navigation,
data entry, reporting, and analysis.
