Does Oracle OSFM work with standard MRP in R12.1?

Question

Hello All,
         We are in R12.1.3. I read in the OSFM User Guide that Lot Based Jobs don’t work with ASCP and a comment about OM and Oracle Projects. We are currently using standard MRP. Yesterday i came to know that OSFM will not work with standard MRP. Please let me know if there is a way to make OSFM work with Standard MRP.
      We don't have ASCP and are not planning to implement it for this requirement.
Thanks,
Vishnu

Hi,
The static INIT() functions were added to the ORDIMAGE/AUDIO/VIDEO types
in 8.1.7 to make it easier for applications to construct an ORDIMAGE/etc
object. Given a simple table, eg:
CREATE TABLE IMAGES ( ID INTEGER, IMAGE ORDSYS.ORDIMAGE );
In 8.1.7 and later its simply a matter of the following to insert a new row:
INSERT INTO IMAGES VALUES ( 42, ORDSYS.ORDIMAGE.INIT() );
Where ORDSYS.ORDIMAGE.INIT() is simply a static function that returns an
initialized ORDSYS.ORDIMAGE object. Prior to 8.1.7, it was necessary to
use the standard database object type constructor syntax to initialize
an ORDSYS.ORDIMAGE object. For example:
INSERT INTO IMAGES VALUES (
42,
ORDSYS.ORDIMAGE(
ORDSYS.ORDSOURCE( EMPTY_BLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0 ),
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL ) );
Below I've included some PL/SQL functions that you can use with 8.1.6 instead
of having to use the full constructor.
Hope this helps,
Simon
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ORDIMAGE_INIT RETURN ORDSYS.ORDIMAGE AS
BEGIN
RETURN ORDSYS.ORDIMAGE(
ORDSYS.ORDSOURCE( EMPTY_BLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0 ),
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL );
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ORDAUDIO_INIT RETURN ORDSYS.ORDAUDIO AS
BEGIN
RETURN ORDSYS.ORDAUDIO(
NULL,
ORDSYS.ORDSOURCE( EMPTY_BLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0 ),
NULL, NULL, EMPTY_CLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL );
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ORDVIDEO_INIT RETURN ORDSYS.ORDVIDEO AS
BEGIN
RETURN ORDSYS.ORDVIDEO(
NULL,
ORDSYS.ORDSOURCE( EMPTY_BLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0 ),
NULL, NULL, EMPTY_CLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
NULL, NULL, NULL );
END;
