OPM Migration Overview and Business Needs PDF
The primary focus of the migration from Release 11.5.10 to Release 12.1 is to minimize system downtime,
while streamlining the implementation of Oracle Inventory for process manufacturers. To this extent, the
migration:
• Enables you retain or change your organization structure. Inventory convergence enables you fully
embrace the Oracle Inventory organization structure. Prior to Release 12.1, Process Manufacturing did
not support the concept of subinventories. Although a subinventory is created as part of Oracle
Warehouse setup, inventory transactions are recorded at the warehouse level only. Subinventories are
integral to the Oracle Inventory organization structure. All transactions are performed at this level. The
migration process allows you to optionally map your warehouses as subinventories. You can keep the
original warehouse as an active inventory organization, or make it inactive. Alternatively you can keep
warehouses as inventory organizations and define new subinventories associated with them.
• Updates references to the new item master and organization master. In Release 12.1, items exist
within the context of an organization. Internal IDs are used to reference the item number and inventory
organization for a record. These new IDs are added to existing objects (formulas, batches, quality
samples, etc.) to allow the user to continue to query and update existing data.
• Transfers inventory balances. All onhand inventory balances are transferred to existing or new
Inventory organizations, based upon the pre-migration setup. Users can review the balances in Oracle
Inventory and review historical transactional data in OPM Inventory. Period end balances for the most
recent inventory period are also migrated.
• Transfers lot and sublot information. Lot and sublot information is transferred from Process
Manufacturing to Oracle Inventory lot tables.
• Transfers other master data for lot status, quality grades, costing and Oracle Regulatory. Key
process manufacturing attributes have been added to Oracle Inventory. The supporting data required
to make use of the functionality is transferred to the converged Inventory model.
• Transfers open production batches. Batches that were open in 11.5.10 are re-created in Release 12.1.
Detail level reservations are automatically created against the material that was allocated to the open
batches in Process Manufacturing in 11.5.10. High level reservations are created for the unallocated
material.
Inventory Validation
There is an OPM Inventory validation script that must be run to ensure accuracy in your data. This
validation script performs the following actions:
• Displays all items in OPM that do not have the auto lot numbering set up in the validation report
• Checks the descriptive flexfield setup in both OPM Inventory and Oracle Inventory item master
for conflicting use of attributes
Any migration messages that are logged by this validation must be reviewed, and where required,
addressed before progressing to migrating inventory balances.
Quality Validation
The OPM Quality validation script verifies that the Stability Studies Default Organization code located
on the Quality tab of the Convergence Migration form has been set to a valid value. Any migration
messages that are logged by this validation must be reviewed, and where required, addressed before
progressing to the inline phase of the migration.
Any migration messages that are logged during this phase of the migration must be reviewed, and
where required, addressed before progressing to the inline phase of the migration. In the event that a
script does not migrate or transform the data properly, the previous scripts must be run again.
Batch Recreation
The Batch Recreation concurrent program must be run to recreate the WIP, Pending, and FPO Batches
that were unreleased and canceled during the snapshot taken during pre-migration. This script renames
the old version of the batch appended with a -M and creates the new batches with the same batch
number. Any migration messages logged by the concurrent program must be reviewed, and where
required, addressed prior to commencing business in Release 12.1.
Planning Post-Migration
Attributes for ASCP planning must be manually defined on the MRP/MPS Planning Tab and Lead-
times Tab of for the migrated Organizational Items.
Purchasing Post-Migration
The Purchasing Post-migration script updates the secondary ship quantity and secondary cancelled
quantity for PO shipments based on the respective primary transactions quantities. Sublots are
modeled as Parent/Child lots in the converged model. When a sublot is migrated to Oracle Inventory,
one record is created with the Parent Lot field representing the lot number and the lot field containing a
concatenation of the lot and sublot fields.
For a sublot-controlled item with a blank or NULL sublot field, the Parent lot field is left blank and the
lot field contains the lot number. Receiving lot and lot supply transactions are updated for the lot
number field representing the parent/child lot combination in the common inventory model. Any
migration messages logged by this script and must be reviewed, and where required, addressed prior to
commencing business in Release 12.1.
