Project Manager and OM, Cost Functional Lead

Dual Role as Project Manager and Functional Lead (OM and AR) to a trading

company based in Englewood Cliff, New Jersey. Primary nature of business

of this client is trading in commodities like metal, copper and stainless

steel.

This was a full life cycle implementation on (11i) 11.5.5. I started from

the process of requirement gathering, mapping, process flows documentation,

gapping, customization mapping, CRP I and II (Conference Room Pilot) till

the time we went live on November 01,2002.

Major Customizations done at this site, in which I was involved as on

functional design, which had an impact on Order Management, AR and

Inventory, PO (costing).

. Custom Costing engines were created which was running parallel to

Oracle Cost engines (standard cost).

. Cost was getting booked at 'Actual' Receipt cost.

. Shipping and RMA was being done 'Actual' Cost (COGS and Inventory)

. Inventory Valuations at Actual Cost (Based on Receipt).

. Move Order functionality was re-written to map Business requirements

. Reservations based on quantity received would update Sales Order Line

automatically.

. Cost was captured at three levels - 'Estimated', 'Accrued' and

'Actuals'.

. To book Estimated Cost custom form was created. Accrued cost (Receipt

and Distribution) was automatic (based on receipt or shipping).

. Custom form for Comparing 'Accrued Cost' with 'Actual Cost' to post to

General Ledger.

. Workflows for Sales Order Approvals (Credit and Sales Persons quota

limits).

. Revision controls for Sales Order changes.

Role as Functional Lead in Order Management:

General OM Setup:

. Business Requirement Gathering, mapping, gapping, future business process

designs, presentations to the core team on future business process

designs.

. Setups on Order Management- This included creation and mapping of the

following business transaction types like-

- Back-to-Back

- Blanket Sales Order

- Depot Sales (Sale against multiple Purchase Orders)

- Consignment Sales

- Just in Time

- Processing (Similar to outside processing without using Mfg

Modules)

- RMA (Return Material Authorization) Standard Oracle

Functionality

- Scrap

- Change in Phantom Item (Item size is not firm)

. Creation of Pick release, staging process (based on transaction types),

Invoicing based on quantities shipped (basically a profile option),

Invoice source types, AR Transaction Types and AR Auto accounting

methods.

. Reservation of items based on receipt quantities, which would

automatically change the sales order quantities at line level (Std oracle

will reserve quantity based on sales order line quantity or less not

more). This piece was customized based on the business requirements and

understanding (each receipt was being booked at actual cost).

. Shipping and Execution feature of 11i:

- Staging Process (Split lines for consignment process after Pick

release). This was to simulate 'Consigned Inventory' at Customer

Location. Business requirement was to do a credit check at two

levels- (1) Order Booking (2) at Pick release Process (Pick

release was to mimic depositing material at customers warehouse

(staging sub-inventory). Multiple shipments would take place

from staging sub-inventory based on customer's usage reports

(lot based). This was done using the standard 11I features of

Pick release and then splitting lines in staging without

creating delivery orders. Delivery orders were auto-created

(manual operation).

- Trip Management - Requirement was to ship to multiple

destinations (some times same customer) on the same

truck/container (typical milk run feature). This requirement was

addressed by creating 'Trips'; User defined Delivery,

Associating Delivery to Trip, Delivery Lines to Delivery and

planning the delivery. We deferred the Inventory Interface until

the time the confirmation was received from the trucking

company/customer (the material would be held as "In-Transit").

After confirmation the user would close the trip (concurrent

process) and the inventory would be depleted, COGS would be

booked and invoice would be generated for the shipped quantity.

Advanced Pricing Feature using Basic Pricing:

- Freight Charges: Setup freight and shipping charges both at

Header and Line level (Ship confirm Level). Extensively used

Modifier (QP) and Formulas.
