Managing WIP Accounting by Item Category

This document defines the process for setting up an item’s WIP Accounting to default
based on the items category assignment. It is assumed you have a clear understanding
of Oracle Item Category Flexfields prior to attempting these setups.

First you must setup the Item Category for maintaining the code associated to the item.
In many cases, you will want to separate them by the Product Family so you may wish to
setup the item category called Product Family.

The screen to the left

shows a basic setup of
an item category
segment.

Next, you will need to

setup the codes for
your Product Family.

You then need to setup the

Category set. It is best to make
this set controlled at the
organization level unless you have clear separation between your Product Families.

Now you must assign the Default

Category Set for your Product Line
Accounting. See below.

Now you are ready to assign your categories to your WIP accounting classes. It is
assumed you have already setup your WIP accounting classes. The responsibility, path
and details are shown in the image below. This setup applies only to Standard Discrete
WIP Accounting Classes.

This completes the

setup process. You
will still need to assign
items to the
appropriate Product
Family Category.
Once you have done
so, when you create a
job or release it from
the planners
workbench, the job
class will default
based on the category
assignment. If you
have not assigned the
category to the item,
the default setup in
the WIP parameters
will apply.
