Use this activity to connect an unserviceable component part to a purchase order line. You will be sending this unserviceable part to the supplier in exchange for a serviceable part. (The unserviceable part is also called the exchange component part).
Using Order Exchange Component dialog, parts can be added as long as the part on the order line has not arrived. i.e. if the status of the purchase order is Planned, Released, Confirmed or Stopped. You can delete a record only when the customer order has not been created and you can update a record only if the customer order line has not been reserved.
The unserviceable exchange component part will be connected to the purchase order line. The Exchange Item option on the order line will be enabled. The price on the purchase order line will be updated with the price entered as the exchange price on the Supplier for Purchase Part/Condition Code Pricing tab.
If the purchase order is already released, a customer order will be automatically created to handle the delivery of the exchange component to the supplier.
