Ingersoll-Rand International 2004 to 2006
Airside BusinessPark
Swords,
Co. Dublin
Responsibilities:
Workingas technical/ functional analyst onthis project. This is an implementationof Oracle Applications for a
number of companies in the Ingersoll-Rand group(eg. Bobcat, Thermo King, Husmann, Clubcar etc.)
The systemhas beenextensivelymodified across a number of areas including Order Entry, Pricing, iStore, Quoting,
Drop shipments and Warranty. In additiona number of interfaces exist to Export Compliance and Warrantysystems.
Configuration Model Interface.
Examined the possibilityof writing an interface whichwill take configuration model data which will be usedto create
/ update ModelStructure as opposedto creatingmodels manually. Found that the effort required onthe current
version ofconfigurator would be toomuchto proceed.
Support of Oracle Configurator - touching onModelpublishing, Confiurator Features incorporation, Inventory, Bills of
Material, Configurator Developer (OCD), Order Management and iStore. Troubleshooting problems mainlyrelating to
commonisingof bills of materialacross assigned inventoryorganisations, primaryprice list changes affectingstar item
creation, Item Costing and Item Attribute Set up. DesignChart Rule problemin11.5.10 version ofconfigurator – script
to delete rules for certainModels.
Package to automate manual steps usedbyData Administration to prepare newlyconfiguredproducts (star
configurations). I wasinvolvedinsome of the functional designand all ofthe programming. The major elements of
this package are as follows:-
1. Update Star Item attributessuchas ATO flag, reservable type, allow descriptionupdate and product code if
necessary(set to that of the base machine). Assignthe itemto inventoryorgs to whichthe model hasbeen
assigned. Use the appropriate configurationtemplate depending onthe default sales order sourcing type
(internal or external). Use standard Oracle API ItemImport to effect these changes.
2. Change the followingitemcategories(delete andcreate) - Inventory, Purchasing, Item Types and IR Sourcing
Categoryto those of the base machine (ifdifferent)Set Update Master Accounting and Update Child Accounting
and ECCN No (to that of base machine). Delete IRI iStore Categoryas star item orderingis not allowedfrom
iStore in IRI. Effect all these changes bycallingthe StandardOracleAPI InventoryCategoryOpenInterface.
3. Set up accounting entries for the current star item – set upCogs, Sales and Expense Accounts ( ccid) for the star
item.
4. Commonise the star itemacross all inventoryorgs to which the item is assigned – insome casesthis required
switchingto other OperatingUnits and switching back again.
5. Reset Star Item ATO flag to ‘N’ ( prevent work order creation )
6. Create a pending cost interface detail recordwith based onrollupflag set. Import that record usingthe Standard
Oracle Cost Import process .Submit anIRI processwhichwill doa cost rollup and copythe resulting cost to
assignedinventoryorgs.
5. 7. Remove sourcing assignments at the star item level for inventoryorg BPA’s for the star item. Sourcing is done at
the Org level inIRI.
8. If no errors encountered remove New Configurationand ConfigurationValidationHolds from sales order lines
where the ordereditem is the star item.
Automaticallyrelease ofConfiguration ValidationHolds prior to star itemcreation.
Mass ConfigurationMatching andstar line Progression.

pricing modifiers andrelated qualifier data and outputs andFTP’s this information to anexternalserver. This data is
processed byan external companyinBelgiumto produce a web basedpricing catalogue for Bobcat Dealers.
DevelopedOutboundInterface to Demand Solutions (external package whichis used to create forecasts for
OracleApplications MPS). Also developed outbound Item Interface to Fiege. Developedincoming PO Interface from
Fiege.
