Create Repair Shop Order Manually
Explanation
Use this activity to manually create a new repair shop order for a specified part. A repair shop order means the
same part is issued to the order as received back to inventory once the repair is completed.
To create a new shop order for parts with date structure effectivity, create a new record and enter below
values:
- Enter the site and the part number of the part that you want to repair.
- Enter the desired Lot Size that you want to repair.
- Select Repair in the Order Type drop-down.
- In the Scheduling Direction drop-down, select either Forward Scheduling or Backwards
Scheduling.
- With backward scheduling, the system schedules material requirements and operations based on the Need
Date that you enter. The start date is equal to the need date minus the total lead time time.
- With forward scheduling, you enter the Earliest Start Date. The finish date is equal to sum of the
earliest start date and the total lead time time.
- If the part is configurable, select the original configuration for the part to repair in the
Configuration field.
- Enter new values in the Structure or Routing sections if you want to use another structure or
routing revision and/or alternative. You can only use structure/routing of type Repair. By default the
system will fetch the revision based on the shop order dates, and the * alternate. The repaired part is always
added as a material line regardless of the selected structure alternate.
To create a new shop order for parts with serial structure effectivity:
- Enter the site and the part number of the part that you want to repair.
- Enter the desired Lot Size that you want to repair.
- Select Repair in the Shop Order Type drop-down.
- In the Scheduling Direction drop-down, select either Forward Scheduling or Backwards
Scheduling.
- With backward scheduling, the system schedules material requirements and operations based on the Need
Date that you enter. The start date is equal to the need date minus the total lead time time.
- With forward scheduling, you enter the Earliest Start Date. The finish date is equal to sum of the
earliest start date and the total lead time time.
- When you save the record, the Select Revision/Alternate for Serial Effectivity Part dialog
appears.
- Select either Select Revision/Alternate from Serial, or Select Revision/Alternate Manually:
- Select Revision/Alternate from Serial - Enter the serial number to fetch the revision/alternate
based on.
- Select Revision/Alternate Manually - Select the required structure and/or routing revision and
alternate.
- Note: You must manually ensure that the serial number of the part(s) reserved to be repaired
matches the selected revision/alternate.
Prerequisites
To create material allocations, and to allow receipt of the order, a valid repair structure revision alternate
must exist for the repaired part.
To create operations, a valid repair routing revision alternate must exist for the repaired part.
System Effects
As a result of this activity the system creates a new shop order with Order Type set to Repair for
the selected part. When this happens, the system creates material requirements and schedules operations. The
repaired part is always automatically added as a material line. It retrieves operations and structures according to
the part, structure revision and alternative, and routing revision and alternative that you selected.
