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 their 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 unreleased or unapproved 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 the 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 (purchase order or purchase requisition based on the site level parameter,
named Create Purchase Requisition for External Service Order on the
Site page, under the Manufacturing record selector,
MRO tab) will be created accordingly. The material identified on the disposition line
will be reserved for the order that was created.
- If there are no repair codes included and the disposition code indicates 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 into 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 is to be carried out, an external service type purchase order or purchase
requisition based on the Site parameter, a repair interim order, and a customer order to deliver the part(s) are
created. The parts are assigned to the purchase order when it is created directly or from the purchase
requisition and get released. Then it will be facilitated 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 into inventory,
it is possible to set the disposition line for transfer of ownership.
As a result of the ownership transfer will occur, unit cost of the material will be fetched based on the unit
cost of the part. For condition code tracked parts, the cost will be fetched from the estimated cost for
condition for the part.
