Standard Reports in External Manufacturing Orchestration

Companies that own Multienterprise Information Network Tower an their Partners can use standard reporting across all External Manufacturing orchestrations. This enhancement supports both existing and future transactions, ensuring each orchestration has baseline visibility and access to scalable, actionable analytics. As manufacturing operations become increasingly complex and data-driven, the need for consistent and reliable access to transaction-level insights becomes more important than ever.

Multienterprise Information Network Tower users do not have the ability to add reports to a Multienterprise Information Network Tower standard solution. Only the Opus Solution Environment (OSE) user who creates the Multienterprise Information Network Tower solution can select reports from the report catalog and add them to the solution. Once added, the reports appear in the left-hand navigation menu of that company solution.

By default, Multienterprise Information Network Tower solutions are deployed with a predefined set of reports. If the company is licensed for Multienterprise Information Network Tower, users will see the standard reports in the menu if those menus and roles are assigned to the company user.

If the company is licensed for both Multienterprise Information Network Tower and OSE, authorized OSE users can customize the solution by adding or removing reports from the configuration of the company solution.

In this release, the external manufacturing orchestration includes the following report types:

  • Base Reports - Standard reports per transaction.
  • Joint Reports - Combined reports across the orchestrations and within the orchestration.
