Approve Disposition Line
Explanation
Approving a disposition 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 disposition line is approved, a repair
shop order or/and an external service order (ESO) will be created. The
disposition shop order is completed when all the disposition 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 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 the part(s) will be scrapped.
- If there are no repair codes defined and the disposition code did not
indicate a scrap, then the part(s) will be received to the inventory and
will be reserved back to the Component repair order line.
For complex assembly MRO:
- The state of the shop order disposition line will be set to
Approved.
- If the disposition code indicates that the material is to be
scrapped, the scrap transaction will occur. A history record is
generated for the scrapped serial in the Part Serial History page.
Otherwise, the material will be received into the inventory.
- 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.
- Repair interim orders will be created which will serve as the demand
order for the repair supply shop order.
- A disposition action history record will be created.
- 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 an external repair to be carried out, an external service
type
purchase order, a repair interim order, and a customer order to deliver
the part(s) are created. The parts are
assigned to the external service (purchase) order. It will be released
automatically to facilitate the receipt after repair.
- IF the parts are undergoing both internal repair and external
repair, then the part(s) will be assigned to the external repair order
and then those will be pegged to the internal repair shop order.
Respective interim orders will be created and will be attached to the
corresponding assembly shop order.
- If the disposition code indicates that the material is not
going to be reused and put to inventory, it is possible to set the
dispostion line for transfer of ownership.
As a result ownership
transfer will occure. Unit cost of the material will be fetched based on
unit cost of the part. For condition code tracked parts, cost will be
fetched from estimated cost for condition for the part.
