Audience for This Guide

This guide assumes you have a working knowledge of the following:

s The principles and custom ary p ractices of your bu siness area

s Oracle Manu factu ring

If you have never used Oracle Work in Process, Oracle Quality, Oracle

Inventory, Oracle Flow Manu facturing, or Oracle Shipp ing Execution, w e

suggest you attend one or more of the Oracle Manu factur ing training classes

available through Oracle University.s The Oracle App lications grap hical user interface

See: Other Information Sources on page -xii for more information abou t Oracle

Applications product information.

Do Not Use Database Tools to Modify Oracle Applications Data

We STRONGLY RECOMMEND t hat y ou never use SQL*Plus, Oracle Dat aBrow ser, database t riggers, or any ot her tool to modify Oracle Applications t ables,

unless w e tell you to do so in our guides.

Oracle provides p owerful tools you can u se to create, store, change, retrieve, and

main tain information in an Oracle data base. Bu t if you u se Oracle tools such as

SQL*Plus to mod ify Oracle App lications d ata, you r isk destroying th e integrity of

your d ata and you lose the ability to aud it changes to your d ata.

Because Oracle Applications tables are interrelated, any change you make using anOracle Applications form can up date many tables at once. But w hen you mod ify

Oracle App lications data u sing anyth ing other than Oracle App lications forms, you

might change a row in one table withou t making correspond ing changes in related

tables. If your tables get out of synchronization with each other, you risk retrieving

erroneous information and you risk unp redictable results throughou t Oracle

Applications.

When you use Oracle Applications forms to mod ify your d ata, Oracle App licationsau tomatically checks that your changes are valid. Oracle App lications also keeps

track of who changes informa tion. But, if you enter information into d atabase tables

using da tabase tools, you m ay store invalid information. You also lose the ability to

track who has changed you r information because SQL*Plus and other database

tools do not keep a record of changes.

Overview of Mobile Supply Chain Applications


s The Mobile Server enables you to perform Oracle App lication tran sactions

using the Telnet Protocol Server. Information is sent from m obile ind ustrialdevices to the Telnet Listener. The information is processed and up dated in the

application database.

s You can create Work in Process shop floor transactions such as moves, issues,

and returns using m obile devices. You can also view job, line and material

status.

s Mobile devices enable you to enter inventory transactions at the point of use.

Recording tran sactions in this way avoids d up licate data entry, and mobiledev ice scanning can imp rove data entry accuracy.

Overview of Setting Up

This section contains an overv iew of the steps you n eed to complete to set up OracleMobile Sup ply Chain App lications. For instructions on how to complete each task,

see the setup sections indicated in each step.

Setup involves several phases, including setting u p oth er app lications. You m ay not

need to p erform some of the steps below if youve already p erformed a

common-application setup.

Set Up Oracle Applications TechnologyThe setup steps in this chapter tell you how to imp lement the p arts of Oracle

App lications sp ecific to Oracle Mobile Sup ply Ch ain Ap plications.

The Imp lementation Wizard gu ides you throu gh the entire Oracle App lications

setup , including system administration. How ever, if you d o not use the Wizard, you

need to complete several other setup step s, including :

s Performing system-wid e setup tasks, such as configuring concurrent

managers and printers

s Manag ing data security, which includes setting u p resp onsibilities to allow

access to a specific set of business data and transactions, and a ssigning

individual u sers to one or more of these responsibilities

Oracle Applications Implementation Wizard

If you are imp lementing m ore than one Oracle Applications p roduct, you may wan t

to use the Oracle Applications Imp lementation Wizard to coordinate your setup

activities. The Imp lementation Wizard gu ides you th rough the setup steps for the

app lications you have insta lled, sugg esting a logical sequence that satisfies

cross-produ ct imp lementation depend encies and redu ces redun dant setup steps.

The Wizard also identifies steps that can be completed independ ently by several

teams w orking in p arallel to help you m anage your imp lementation process most

efficiently.

You can u se the Imp lementation Wizard as a resource center to see a grap hicaloverview of setup steps, read ou tline help for a setup activity, and op en the

app ropriate setup w indow. You can also documen t your imp lementation, for

further reference and review, by using the Wizard to record comm ents for each step .
