Overview of Setting Up
Before setting up Oracle Quality, consider the following:
Oracle Applications Implementation Wizard
If you are implementing more than one Oracle Applications product, you may want to use the Oracle Applications Implementation Wizard to coordinate your setup activities. The Implementation Wizard guides you through the setup steps for the applications you have installed, suggesting a logical sequence that satisfies cross-product implementation dependencies, and reduces redundant setup steps. The Wizard also identifies steps that can be completed independently, by several teams working in parallel, to help you manage your implementation process most efficiently.
You can use the Implementation Wizard as a resource center to see a graphical overview of setup steps, read online help for a setup activity, and open the appropriate setup window. You can also document your implementation, for further reference and review, by using the Wizard to record comments for each step. See: Implementation Wizard.
Set Up Oracle Applications Technology
The setup steps in this chapter tell you how to implement the parts of Oracle Applications specific to Oracle Quality.
The Implementation Wizard guides you through the entire Oracle Applications setup, including system administration. However, if you do not use the Wizard, you need to complete several other setup steps, including:
- performing system-wide setup tasks such as configuring concurrent managers and printers
- managing data security, which includes setting up responsibilities to allow access to a specific set of business data and complete a specific set of transactions, and assigning individual users to one or more of these responsibilities.
Also, if your product uses Oracle Workflow to, for example, manage the approval of business documents or to derive Accounting Flexfield values via the Account Generator, you need to set up Oracle Workflow. See: Oracle Workflow.
What information must be collected and reported?
reference information; for example, items, lots, and departments
performance results such as failure rates and yields
product defect types, causes, and disposition information
process characteristics such as voltage and frequency
critical product dimensions and comparisons with specifications
equipment use, status, and calibration data
What is the best way to collect this data?
directly
as you perform transactions
via Collection Import
Where do you need to collect the data?
production
finished goods
field repairs and returns
If you decide to collect quality data while transacting, which transactions do you want to use and what events or conditions within these transactions do you want to trigger quality data collection?
Oracle Purchasing receiving transactions or receiving inspection transactions
Oracle Work in Process move transactions
Oracle Service service requests
What actions are to be automatically triggered based on the quality results collected?
operator notifications
electronic mail notifications
How must the data be reported?
routine reports

charts
