Approve Disposition Line
Explanation
To approve a line means that the disposition process is completed and
that a repair work scope is defined to modify the items or bring them back
to its original form, fit and/or function. Once a line is approved, a repair
shop order or an external service order (ESO) will be created. The
disposition shop order is completed when all the lines have been approved. Note
that you can also unrelease or unapprove a disposition line.
It is possible to automate this step for a disposition code by selecting
the option Auto Approve on the MRO Disposition Codes
page.
Prerequisites
- This activity requires the existence of a disposition shop order in
status Released.
- In addition, there must be disposition line(s) in status Released.
System Effects
For component MRO:
- The status of the disposition line will be set to Approved.
- If there are repair codes marked as included on the Repair
Codes tab, either a repair shop order or an external service
order will be created accordingly. The material identified on the
disposition line will be reserved to the order that was created.
- If there are no repair codes included and the disposition code
indicated a scrap, then there is no more work to be performed since the
material has been scrapped when the line status was set to Release.
- If there are no repair codes and the disposition code did not
indicate a scrap, then there is no more work to be performed since the
material has been received when the line status was set to Release.
For complex assembly MRO:
- The state of the shop order disposition line will be set to
Approved.
- Repair shop orders will be created and the parts assigned to the
repair shop order if the disposition code calls out discrepancies or if
there is a modification that applies to this serial.
- A disposition action history record will be created.
- Repair interim orders will be created which will serve as the demand
order for the repair supply shop order.
- An interim order history record will be created.
- The pegged assembly shop order allocation will be updated and the
appropriate parts assigned to it, if there is no discrepancy or
modification called out. The user can update the allocation from the set
of valid alternates.
- If the discrepancy code has a cross reference to a Fleet and Asset
Management fault code, a fault history record will be created for the
serial.
- If only a repair to be done externally is called out, a repair
purchase order and a repair interim order are created. The parts are
assigned to the repair purchase order. The repair purchase order is automatically released to effectively
ship the parts to the vendor.
- If a repair to done externally and a modification are called out, a
repair purchase order and its corresponding repair interim order are
created for the external repair (the parts are assigned to the repair
purchase order) and a repair shop order and its corresponding repair
interim order are created for the modification. The orders are listed in
the same order as the service source indicates, i.e. the execution order
is first external service order and then MRO shop order.
