Heavy maintenance returns may need to be repaired based on different part provisioning rules defined for part/part groups in the service contract and may need to be installed back at the vehicle once the repair process is completed. Create Repair and Material Lines assistant can be used to create component repair order lines to facilitate the repair of parts, work task material lines to facilitate installation of parts and link repair line to material line when the same part is required to be installed after repair.
You can select existing CRO repair lines in Planned or Reserved status which are sourced by the same maintenance order to repair parts from work task returns. After specifying a CRO number, use list of values in CRO line number to select existing repair lines with same part, part ownership, owner, repair order type, preferred service supplier and fault type.
As a result of this activity, work task return line is connected to an existing CRO repair line. Source information of CRO repair line is updated with the work task return line information. Quantity on CRO repair line is increased by the planned quantity of return line. If the parts have been already returned to the inventory, they are reserved to the CRO repair line.
