Oracle E-Business Suite Manufacturing & Supply Chain Management

This handbook describes all the manufacturing-related activities that can be achieved using Oracle manufacturing and supply chain products. It has a functional, process-flow focus of Oracle manufacturing rather than a modular, fragmented focus. The book includes logical models to show important entities and relationships; listings and descriptions of public APIs/open interfaces (a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications); and provides the building blocks for developing better programs. This handbook was written by authors who work at Oracle and who were implementation consultants in the Oracle Consulting group.
