Oracle Mobile Supply Chain- UnPlugged August 15, 2008 Venetian 2 3:00 PM – 3:40 PM Presented By Ashok Kowdle PMP akowdle@astcorporation.com

Agenda Overview of Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Architecture of Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Transactions Supported in MSCA Key Benefits Support for Changing MSCA Screens Process Flows & Data Flows Questions and Answers

MSCA Overview Oracle® Mobile Supply Chain Applications (MSCA) enables automated mobile user operations. This is performed using hand held radio frequency (RF) devices, PDA’s, and lift truck mounted RF scanners. Oracle MSCA is part of the Oracle Supply Chain Management solution, the integrated suite that streamlines design, planning, manufacturing and fulfillment.

Modules Supported in MSCA Mobile Manufacturing Mobile Quality Mobile Materials Management Warehouse Management

Manufacturing Transactions Moving assemblies Completing assemblies Scrapping and rejecting items and assemblies Issuing, returning, and scrapping material Work order-less completions and returns Flow completion, return, and scrap transactions Charging resources

Quality Transactions Collect quality data View specifications Work in Process transactions WIP Work Order less completions Flow Manufacturing completions

Material Management Transactions Receiving & RMA Inventory transactions and inquiries Kanban transactions and inquiries Cycle Counting and Physical Inventory Pick Confirm Ship Confirm Intra-organization replenishment

WMS Transactions Inbound Logistics Inventory Controls Task Management Receiving, Cross Docking, Directed Putaways & Inspections Inventory Controls Lot, sub lot, serial and revision control, Material Attribute Tracking & Flexible Material status and holds Task Management Rules based task dispatching, Guided consolidation, Cartonization & Configurable Exception Management Workflow Outbound Logistics Rule Based Product Allocation, Directed Picking, Consolidation & ASN Generation Mobility Mobile RF Based user interfaces, Material Handling Systems Integration

Key Benefits Improve Inventory Accuracy Improve Worker Productivity Reduce Data Entry Errors with Bar-Code scanning Improve Transaction Accuracy with Real-Time Data Validation Reduce Latency using Mobile Devices Improve Worker Productivity Accelerate Data Entry using Mobile Devices Simplify Transaction Entry with Mobile User Interface Reduce Latency using Mobile Device Adapt to Rapidly Changing Mobile Technology Support Existing Manufacturing & Distribution Processes out of the box Increase customer satisfaction by improving inventory accuracy, shipment confirmation and quality tracking

Personalization & Customization Supports all Personalizations Customizations Ability to change List of Values Ability to add new fields to the existing pages Adding new custom pages to the flow Adding new validations to fields using field listeners Customization for Batch Mode Processing Create new pages using MCL Designer Save transactions either on Scanner Memory or Memory card as a comma separated file Process records by calling corresponding API’s

MWA Testing & Error Logging Configuration Files mwa.cfg: This file has information about the DBC file location, Log Dir Location, Telnet Port no Location. This info will be used by Mobile Applications on runtime. default_key.ini: This file is used to map the keys of the mobile device to some specific functionality. Use the default file if you don’t want to customize anything. deviceIP.ini: This file maps the configuration files and host name with the mobile device MWA Server Startup and Shutdown mwactl.sh: This file is used to start/stop the MWA listener on specific port. mwactl.sh start <port no> to Start the services on the Listener mwactl.sh -login <userid/pwd> stop_force <port no> to stop the services on the Listener File Location $MWA_TOP/bin $MWA_TOP/secure $INST_TOP/admin/scripts $INST_TOP/admin/install In R12, INST_TOP may look like: /u01/appldev/DEV/inst/apps/DEV_w-oraap01 Log Files The log files are located under $INST_TOP/logs The Logging Levels are Fatal, Error, Warning, Debug & Trace All the log files start with Telnet_port_no as a prefix -rw-r--r-- 1 appldev dba 255626 Feb 8 13:28 10240.INV.log Simpler way to look for logs tail -f 10240.INV.log
