To report receipt of customer-owned parts directly from the CRO repair, click Receive Part. The parts will be reserved to the repair as soon as they are reported as received into inventory. In other words, direct receipt is an efficient feature for receiving and reserving parts in one move. However, in instances where a more comprehensive receipt handling such as quality inspection is required, a receive order is recommended rather than reporting receipt directly from the CRO repair.
A recommendation is to use direct receipt when the demand for thorough inspection is low and the quantity to be received is high. An example is when a large number of fan blades are to be reported as received into a repair shop for just a simple repaint.
When reporting a direct receipt, the part ownership is set to Customer Owned by default and cannot be changed. The owning customer will be the same as defined in the CRO header.
When receiving serial-handled parts, a dialog box opens where you can specify serial numbers. If a particular serial number returns again the following conditions must be fulfilled before you can report this part as received:
You can study the serial numbers for the received repair parts in the Tracking Information tab.
As a result of this activity, parts are received into inventory and subsequently reserved to the CRO repair. The status on the repair changes from Planned to Reserved.
