Create External Service Order for Assembly Shop Order Component
Explanation
To create an external service order for a component issued to an assembly shop order, select the material line
and click Create Component Repair Order. In the Create Component Repair Order assistant,
select Create External Service Order and enter the required external service details.
The site parameter Create Purchase Requisition for External Service Order on the
Site page, under the Manufacturing record selector,
MRO tab, controls whether the external service order is created as a purchase requisition
or a purchase order.
The repair quantity may equal or be less than the total issued quantity on the assembly shop order material
line. The quantity specified will be unreserved from the assembly shop order component material allocation and
reserved to the new external service order. Upon receipt of the material on the external service order, the
material will be reserved back to the assembly shop order material allocation line that originated the external
service order. Pegging of the external service order can be referenced by the Interim Order for the work scope.
Prerequisites
- An assembly shop order with issued material.
If the site parameter setting is to create a purchase order for an external service order,
- A supplier must have been entered on the Supplier page.
- A customer must be connected to the supplier on the Supplier page.
- A supplier for purchase part connection must have been established on the Supplier for Purchase
Part page.

System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- If Create Purchase Requisition for External Service Order is enabled at site level, a
purchase requisition is created with the component material as the purchase part. The purchase requisition can be
converted to a purchase order using the standard procurement process, and the purchase order reference is updated
on the assembly shop order.
- If the site parameter is disabled, a purchase order is created directly with the supplier entered in the
assistant.
- An external service order is created and pegged to the assembly shop order material allocation line.
- When the purchase order is released, a customer order is generated with the component part linked to the
customer order line.
- The assembly shop order material allocation for the component material will have unissued the quantity that
is specified to be repaired, and the structure line number is updated with the reference to the created external
service order.
