Creating a repair order – An overview

A repair order is a document that provides information on defects and the work to be performed on a component. The components are sent to repair shop when

· The facility required is not available in-house

· There is a constraint in the capacity or quantities of a component

· The repair shop can perform at a lower cost.

A repair order is raised under these circumstances. A separate repair order is raised for every component that is to be repaired. A repair order is raised only when the component maintenance planner approves that the component is declared as unserviceable.

A unique number identifies the repair order. The repair order number is generated by the system, based on the numbering type that you select in this page. The repair order could be of type “Normal” or “Exchange”.

You can assign a priority to the repair order and specify the aircraft for which the repair must be performed, requested repair time, shipping date, the location to which the component must be returned after repair, warehouse and the core return option. The core return option indicates the type of change allowed on the returned component, after the repair is performed. You can allow or disallow the modification of the part number and/or the serial number of the component.
