In this tab, you can perform removals, attachments, and replacements of child components and spare parts of the main core component. Child Work Orders / Repair Orders are generated during removal of the part / component with specific ‘Initial Disposition’. During removal, parts can be identified as ‘Phased Out’ and can be labeled as ‘Marked for Retirement’. Exchange Orders are created if removed with ‘Exchange’ based ‘Initial Dispositions’.

During removal, Routing Slip will get printed if for the ‘Initial Disposition’ selected ‘Routing Slip Print?’ is set as “Auto”. Routing slip is a document that contains movement details of the particular component or part, such as “From Work Center”, “To Work Center”, etc. The system generates Material Request and Purchase Request during removal for specific ‘Initial Dispositions’.

This tab allows you to perform the following:

The system performs following additional actions during removal based on the parameters set for the ‘Initial Disposition’ that is selected:
