The system ensures the following:

Note: If the warranty reference number does not match with the repair shop number, the system checks if the warranty reference document is created with reference to warranty agreement number.

  2.

Object Details multiline. However, if the repair cost is not obtainable for any one of the parts, the Quote Generation Basis is set to “Manual”.

The system ensures that the Operational Status of the repair shop is not set as “Hold Repair” in the “Add Location Details” activity of “Supplier” business component.

The system updates the Work Status as “Terminated” in the “Facility Management” business component, if (i) the Shop Job Type is set as “Facility”, (ii)  the Facility Object # is available and (iii) the Schedule maintenance interval is defined i.e., the Interval (Days) is available and the calculated “Next Due Date” is greater than “Terminating Date”.

The system updates the Work Status as “Pending” in the “Facility Management” business component, if (i) the Shop Job Type is set as “Facility”,(ii) the Facility Object # is available and (iii) the Schedule maintenance interval is defined i.e., Interval (Days) is available and the calculated “Next Due Date” is lesser than or equal to “Terminating Date”.

The repair order is ready for authorization.

Note: The system allows you to amend the repair order only within the duration specified in the “Price Held Firm Time” field following the Quotation Date. For example, with a Quotation Date of April 5th 2008 and a Price Held Firm Time of four days, the date on which you amend the repair order must lie between April 5th and April 9th 2008.
