The WIP_LPN_COMPLETIONS_LOTS table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 is a critical transactional table that stores detailed information about completed work-in-progress (WIP) operations, specifically focusing on license plate numbers (LPNs) and their associated lot details. This table plays a pivotal role in manufacturing and inventory management by tracking the movement and completion of LPNs across various stages of production, ensuring traceability and compliance with lot-controlled inventory processes.

Purpose and Functionality

The WIP_LPN_COMPLETIONS_LOTS table is primarily used in conjunction with Oracle's Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Work in Process modules. It captures data related to the completion of LPNs in WIP operations, including lot assignments, quantities, and transaction references. This table ensures that lot-controlled items are accurately tracked during production, enabling organizations to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., FDA, ISO) and internal quality controls.

Key Columns and Relationships

The table contains several important columns, including:

  • WIP_LPN_COMPLETION_ID: A unique identifier linking to the parent completion record in WIP_LPN_COMPLETIONS.
  • LOT_NUMBER: The lot number assigned to the completed item, ensuring traceability.
  • TRANSACTION_QUANTITY: The quantity of items completed for the specific lot.
  • INVENTORY_ITEM_ID: References the item in MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B.
  • ORGANIZATION_ID: Identifies the inventory organization where the completion occurred.
  • LPN_ID: Links to the license plate number in MTL_LPN_NUMBERS.

Integration with Other Modules

The WIP_LPN_COMPLETIONS_LOTS table integrates with several Oracle EBS modules:

  • Inventory (INV): Tracks lot-controlled inventory movements and updates stock levels.
  • Work in Process (WIP): Records production completions and reconciles WIP accounting.
  • Warehouse Management (WMS): Manages LPN movements and lot assignments during material handling.

Business Process Flow

When a production order is completed, the system generates entries in this table to document lot-specific details. For example:

  1. A WIP job is completed, and LPNs are assigned to finished goods.
  2. The system records lot numbers and quantities in WIP_LPN_COMPLETIONS_LOTS.
  3. Inventory balances are updated, and lot genealogy is maintained for compliance.

Technical Considerations

This table is indexed for performance, with key indexes on WIP_LPN_COMPLETION_ID, LOT_NUMBER, and LPN_ID. Custom reports or integrations should leverage these indexes to optimize queries. Additionally, the table is subject to Oracle's data retention policies, and archival strategies should be considered for large-scale implementations.

Conclusion

The WIP_LPN_COMPLETIONS_LOTS table is essential for organizations using lot-controlled inventory in manufacturing. It ensures accurate tracking of LPN completions, supports regulatory compliance, and integrates seamlessly with Oracle's WMS and WIP modules. Understanding its structure and relationships is crucial for effective implementation, reporting, and troubleshooting in Oracle EBS 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 environments.
