Inventory Glossary - C
C
- calendar type
- The period pattern used to define a manufacturing calendar.
- capacity requirements planning
- A time-phased plan comparing required capacity to available capacity, based on a material requirements plan and department/resource information. See routing-based capacity and rate-based capacity
- category
- Code used to group items with similar characteristics, such as plastics, metals, or glass items.
- category set
- A feature in Inventory where users may define their own group of categories. Typical category sets include purchasing, materials, costing, and planning.
- common bill of material
- An assembly that uses the bill of material of another assembly as its bill. This enables you to reduce your maintenance effort by sharing the same bill structure among two or more assemblies. For example, if you have identical bills of material that produce the same product in two different organizations, you can define common bills of material for the identical structures.
- common locator
- .A locator without a project or project and task reference. See also project locator
- common subinventory
- Subinventory that does not have a project reference into which items can be delivered and out of which items can be issued and transferred.
- component item
- An item associated with a parent item on a bill of material.
- concurrent manager
- Components of your applications concurrent processing facility that monitor and run time-consuming tasks for you without tying up your terminal. Whenever you submit a request, such as running a report, a concurrent manager does the work for you, letting you perform many tasks simultaneously.
- concurrent process
- A task in the process of completing. Each time you submit a task, you create a new concurrent process. A concurrent process runs simultaneously with other concurrent processes (and other activities on your computer) to help you complete multiple tasks at once with no interruptions to your terminal.
- concurrent queue
- A list of concurrent requests awaiting completion by a concurrent manager. Each concurrent manager has a queue of requests waiting in line. If your system administrator sets up simultaneous queuing, your request can wait to run in more than one queue.
- concurrent request
- A request to complete a task for you. You issue a request whenever you submit a task, such as running a report. Once you submit a task, the concurrent manager automatically takes over for you, completing your request without further involvement from you, or interruption to your work. Concurrent managers process your request according to when you submit the request and the priority you assign to your request. If you do not assign a priority to your request, your application prioritizes the request for you.
- configuration
- A product a customer orders by choosing a base model and a list of options. It can be shipped as individual pieces as a set (kit) or as an assembly (configuration item).
- consume shortage backward
- An option used to calculate ATP information by using surplus quantity from prior periods to cover a period shortage.
- consume shortage forward
- An option used to calculate ATP information by using surplus quantity from future ATP periods to cover a period shortage.
- cost element
- A classification for the cost of an item. Oracle Manufacturing supports five cost elements: material, material overhead, resource, outside processing, and overhead.
- cost type
- A set of costs for items, activities, resources, outside processing, and overheads. You may have unlimited cost types for each organization, but only one is used to record cost transactions. The Frozen Standard cost type is used for standard costing; the Average Costs type is used for Average costing. Others could be defined for simulation or temporary purposes.
- cost variance
- The difference between the actual and expected cost. Oracle Manufacturing and Payables supports the following cost variances: invoice price, resource rate, and standard cost variances.
- count point operation
- A default operation to move to and from where you record move and charge resource transactions. Also known as pay point.
- cross reference
- A user-defined link from an item number to another piece of information.
- cumulative manufacturing lead time
- The total time required to make an item if you had all raw materials in stock but had to make all subassemblies level by level. Bills of Material automatically calculates this value. Purchased items have no cumulative manufacturing lead time.
- cumulative total lead time
- The total time required to make an item if no inventory existed and you had to order all the raw materials and make all subassemblies level by level. Bills of Material automatically calculates this value.
- current average cost
- The current weighted average cost per unit of an item before a transaction is processed. See new average cost.
- current on-hand quantity
- Total quantity of the item on-hand before a transaction is processed.
- cutoff date
- An indication of the last date to be included in a plan or horizon.
- cycle counting
- An inventory accuracy analysis technique where inventory is counted on a cyclic schedule rather than once a year.
