Report Receipt Directly from Repair Line

Explanation

This activity is used to report receipt of customer-owned parts directly from the repair line. The parts will be reserved to the repair line 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 line.

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.

In the right mouse button option menu, the Receive Part option is enabled as long as the line is not fully reserved. When a receive order has been created (and not has been canceled) the Receive Part option is disabled.

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:

• The serial number does not exist in inventory.
• The serial number does not exist on any open order (however, the particular serial number can exist on closed orders).

You can study the serial numbers for the received repair parts in the Tracking Info tab in the Component Repair Order window.

Prerequisites

• An inventory part with the part type Manufactured or Purchased must exist on the site.
• A picking location must exist on the site.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, parts are received into inventory and subsequently reserved to the repair line. The status on the component order line changes from Planned to Reserved.

Reporting direct receipt of serial and/or lot/batch tracked repair parts

1. Open the Component Repair Order window and populate the window or query for the record.
2. Click the Repairs tab.
3. Select the CRO line, right-click and click Receive Part.
4. The CRO Repair Receive Part window opens.
5. Create a new record.
6. Enter the quantity to be received.
7. If the part is condition-code-tracked enter the condition code for the quantity to be received.
8. Save the record and the Serial No dialog box appears.
9. Create number sequence for serial parts:
   • For automatic numbering: If you are using a serial number for the part, the Serial No dialog box appears. Since you are using automatic numbering of the part, you already have a suggestion for the serial number(s). If it is satisfactory, select OK. Otherwise, you can edit the suggestion and select OK. You also can select Clear and Sequence. If you choose to do so, another dialog box appears where you can enter a sequence of numbers. Note that alphanumerical (e.g., IFS1200) serial numbers are not allowed when the numbering is automatic.
   • For manual numbering: If you are using a serial number for the part, the Serial No dialog box appears. Select New and enter the serial number(s). You can also select Sequence. If you choose to do so, another dialog box will appear where you can enter a sequence of numbers.
10. You have four possible number sequences:
    • Sequence: Select New and enter your sequence in the From Serial No and the To Serial No fields. You can select preview to get an example view.
    • Sequence with prefix: Select Add Prefix and enter your prefix, e.g., 100. Enter your sequence in the From Serial No and the To Serial No fields. You can select Preview to view an example.
    • Sequence with suffix: Select Add Suffix and enter your suffix, e.g., 1999. Enter your sequence in the From Serial No and the To Serial No fields. You can select Preview to view an example.
    • Sequence with a combination of prefix and suffix: Select and enter prefix and suffix. Enter your sequence in the From Serial No and the To Serial No fields. You can select Preview to view an example.
11. Click OK when completed. Depending on your previous choices, you may have to select OK twice in the dialog boxes.

Note: If the parts are at receipt and are issue tracked, then these parts also exist as identified in the inventory after receipt. These will not be converted to asterisk ( * ) since the receipt serials are automatically reserved to the component repair order line, i.e. these serials will be processed from the component repair order line, hence it is not necessary to change them as unidentifiable in the inventory.
