When a disposition shop order line consists of modifications and/or discrepancies that require external work, it is necessary to enter an external supplier and an external service type.
When repair codes are generated manually or from the modifications and/or discrepancies, if there is a repair code defined as External then the default supplier and external service type is copied to the disposition line. This happens as long as there is only one repair code defined as External or if the repair codes are defined with the same supplier and the same external service type. If there are several repair code defined as External with either different suppliers and/or external service types, then it is up to the technician to define a supplier and an external service type for the disposition line, i.e. no copy to the disposition line is performed.

As a result of this activity, the disposition shop order line is prepared for external service.
