Answer / harish kumar sharma

Let me complete this answer : -
1) Create Item and enable the OutSide Processing attribute
under Purchasing Tab and apply the Purchasing Template on
it and assign the item to manufacturing Organization.
2) Go to BOM-->Routings-->Resources :: Create Resource with
following attributes : -
Resource Name : Item created in step 1 (recomended but not
mandatory)
Resource Type : Person
Charge Type : PO Receipt
Outside Processing : Enable it
Item = Item Created in step 1
Make cost enabled and enter the OSP account.

3) Create Department but remember : -
a) Naming like CM (Contract Manufacturing - only
recomended)
b) Location (Mandatory) otherwise WIP will have problem.
c) Go to Resource (Button) enter resource creted in step 2.
d) Enter Shift ( this is related to the calander for this
mfg org). If the resource if 24 hours available, then not
required.

4) Create Operations :
a) Name ( like OSP)
b) Department ( created in step 3)
c) you can enter the resource(s) requried at this
operation ( created at step 2, but optional). if entered,
will default at your routing. You can enter the usase here
or at routing level also.
5) Create Routing (normal process, assembly code. remember
this is not the item created in step 1) and add the
Operation where you need osp service.
Pls note that you can attached this OSP Operation at Master
routing or can create another routing with an alternate.
Genarally alternate is recomended.
6) Create BOM and enter routing created at step 5.Note that
if the routing is on alternate, then, try to have the BOM
also on alternate. This will be your OSP BOM.
7) WIP-->Descrete-->Creat Job and enter the assembly at
operation 6.
Release the Job, if the ASL is created and Blanket is
available, requisition and release will be created
automically after the job is released. If the ASL and
Blanket is not available then only requisition, provided in
item, use only ASL flag is unchecked.

Answer / ngopal

OSP - Outside process

Most of the Manufacturing company, they are not doing all
defined process In House except few critical operation for
their products.
Reason is to eliminate the Resource buying cost,
Maintenance cost,Manpower cost and other parameters

OSP Cycle : ( To complete OSP cycle the following need to
be create)
1) OSP Item code
2) OSP Resource
3) OSP department
4) While creating of routing the OSP operation should be
defined and the OSP resources should be attached
Note: UOM should be take care during the creation of OSP
item code and Resource,departments based on the OSP
requirements (Kg,EA,Liter and etc...)
5)discrete Job Creation (manual or through MRP)
6)Move transaction ( Move to OSP Operation)
Note: To Maintain the proper transaction we can assign shop
floor status, the function is to have a control without
doing receiving transaction the user cannot move to next
operation for transaction. it will avoid the error
transaction during the receipt.
7) Once the proper receiving transaction have been done the
shop floor status function allow the component to move next
operation

Here I am explaining only the creation not setup

If you have further doubt ask me.

Answer / sathiyaseelan.p

1. create OSP item in master item

2. define outside processing operation as a resource in the
routing

3. associate the outside resource with a mfg dept , so u can
attach the resource to teh routing.

4. define move transaction with : TO STEP :(queue &
transact)--this will automatically create the pr

5. auto create a po and note the po no,

6. receive the item after outside processing as per the po no.

Answer / ranvijay kumar

Could anybody provide me the detail operation of OSP with
screenshots??????

Answer / kk

Its true that in a complex sourcing environment the
standard Oracle OSP doesn't work or never been designed to
accomodate. Its just a kind of labelling a record
suggesting to be fullfilled by supply sources. Oracle OSP
is provided only to track incurred OSP cost to a schedule
and to compliment the purchasing product.Its good only for
a supervisor working with oracle apps to say ; I HAVE DONE
MY JOB.

ignore it. Regards,

Answer / raj

Osp cycle is only carrying out to incur the cost value in
wip summary report,osp is usually doing only for each
job,osp is generally mapping at wip operations level,once u
r operations comming for osp know, that time
automatically/manually we have to creat purchase req,and
press the outside processing button at the footer
level,then it is asking for u r desctete job number,and go
ahead to creat the pur req for that osp,then receive the
osp item directly to shop floor,and the a/c is
automatically in wip summary and in GL a/c.

Hope if anybody know some thing more abt this scenario pls
mail me too

Answer / vinay mehta

OSP cycle -- Watch Out -- if trying to implement --
I am not trying to act as if Mr Anil Passi, I recommend
very very strongly that this be handled by a real expert.

I have seen the best of the people from Oracle Corp /
Satyam / IBM / Wipro failing -- Just b'coz they were
excatly following what the worked out examples in the
internate suggest. Ther it sounds easy. And you job will be
at stake.

Get it done only by real experts who have done it
elsewhere -- with thorough proof -- and get it done

All the explainations above are just like the solved
examples... Do not at All get carried away...

This forum thing is all bakwas --- Its really not that easy
Do not ever commit any Management that this will be so easy
as it sounds in the forum remarks.

Especially in today's world of Contract Mfg environment,
just do not at all imagine that the Oracle Apps Std OSP
process is gonna work.

These days in many a cases, 75-100 % of their business
operations are solely dependent one this very complicated
but single process.

As an CIO & Advisor to many companies, I have very recently
come across only one such man name Ajay Kuma.

He managed to pull out such an impossible task which NO
Oracle man would have had ever dared. I suggest to get in
touch with him for -- He is your right man.

He is the only person who can make it happen in your
company. You can call me in case you need to get him.
