Creating repair order

Using this tab you can create a repair order, by providing the details such as repair shop number, RO location, RO type and the priority of the repair shop in the “Route For External Repair” group box.

Select the “Route For External Repair” tab in the "Process Pending Component Jobs" page, to assign the work units to the external repair shop.
Enter the following fields in the “Assign to External Repair Shop” group box:

Repair Shop #	The number identifying the repair shop to which you wish to assign the work units for execution (Alphanumeric, 45). Ensure that the number entered here is a valid supplier code defined in the “Supplier” business component. If this field is left blank, the system considers the repair shop as the “Preferred Repair Agency” for the component, based on the maintenance information defined in the “Aircraft” business component. Help facility available.
RO Location	Use the drop-down list box to select the repair order location. The system lists all the organization units where the repair orders can be generated. By default, the system displays the login OU.
RO Type	Use the drop-down list box to specify the type of repair order. The system displays the following options:, Exchange – This is displayed when the component is exchanged temporarily. Normal – This is displayed when the component is raised for repair. The system displays “Normal” by default.
Priority	Use the drop-down list box to select the priority to be given to the repair shop. The system lists all the priority numbers defined in the “Create Priority Number” activity of the “Common Master” business component. By default, the system leaves this field blank.
Under Warranty	Use the drop-down list box to specify whether the component is under warranty or not. The system displays “Yes” or “No”. By default, the system leaves this field blank.
Return Option	Use the drop-down list box and select the option “Warehouse”, if the part has to be returned to the warehouse after repair. Else, select the option “Originating Work Center”. The system displays “Warehouse” by default, if the source document type is set as “Planner Group”. Else, the system displays “Originating Work Center” by default.
RO Category	Use the drop-down list box to specify the category to which the repair order belongs. The system lists all the categories as defined in the “Create Common Category” of the “Logistics Common Master” business component”, which are in “Active” status. The system leaves the field blank by default.
Movement To ship. WH?	Use the drop-down list box and select the option “Required”, if the material on receipt should be returned to the shipped warehouse. Else, select the option “Not Required”. The system displays the option “Not Required” by default.
Shipment Warehouse #	Use the drop-down list box to select the shipment warehouse number. The system lists all the warehouse numbers defined in “External Repairshop Warehouse” in the Set Options” activity of the current business component. The system leaves the field blank by default. Ensure that a value is selected in this field, if the Return Option is set to “Ware House”.
Note: If the “Movement To Ship. WH?” drop-down list box is set as “Required”, the “Shipment Warehouse #” drop-down list box displays the values of the “External Repairshop Warehouse” field in the “Set Option” page in the current business component. The values are displayed in the same order as they are in the “External Repairshop Warehouse” field. By default, the drop-down list box displays the first value in the “External Repairshop Warehouse”. Note: If the “Movement To Ship. WH?” drop-down list box is set as “Not Required” and the Return Option is set to “Originating Work Center” , the “Shipment Warehouse #” drop-down list box displays blank, by default.
Comments	Any comment or remark pertaining to the allocation of work unit to the work center (Alphanumeric, 255)

Click the “Create Repair Order” pushbutton to create the repair order.

Note: The system does not allow the creation of a component work order for a serial-controlled part, if the SOS Disposition is "Suspected Failure" and, the “Restrictions for Suspect Removals” is set to "Prevent Routing" in the Common Masters component.

The system performs the following on clicking the pushbutton:

Creates the repair order in “Draft” status and changes the job status of the work units to “Allocated”.
Updates the source document type as the reference document type, and source document number as the reference document number in the repair order being created.
If the “Movement To Ship. WH?” drop-down list box is set as “Required”, the system generates the stock return document for the warehouse # identified as shipment warehouse # in the “Route for External Repair” tab page.
If the “Return Option” drop-down list box is set as “Warehouse”, the system generates the stock return document for the warehouse # identified as return warehouse. The return warehouse is already identified in the Associate Warehouses page in the “Work Center” business component, for the work center # selected in the “Route to Shop for Repair” tab page. The system considers the default value set in “Numbering Type” field in the “Document Numbering Class” business component. If the Return Option is set as “Warehouse” then the system validates if the Part Classification of the part selected in the multiline is allowed in the warehouse.

Note: If the Part Classification is set as “None” or not defined in the “Part Administration” business component, then the part is classified as Non-Repairable.

Determines the From Warehouse for the repair order in the following way,
If the Shipment Warehouse # is specified, the same becomes the From Warehouse.
If the Shipment Warehouse # is not specified, the work center for the pending component job becomes the From Warehouse.
If both Shipment Warehouse # and work center are not available, any warehouse that has free quantity of the part #-serial # becomes the From warehouse.
If none of the above is true, the From Warehouse remains unspecified.

To proceed carry out the following:

Select the “Route To Shop For Repair” tab to create work scope/ component work order for the Component selected in the multiline.
Select the “Execution Document Details” tab to view the work order execution details.
