Rework orders

A rework order is a production order to fix or upgrade a manufactured or purchased item.

If you create a rework order for an item, no operations are linked to the order. This is because you do not know which operations are required to fix the item. Only one item is inserted as an estimated material for the rework order: The end item itself. Operations and material to repair or upgrade the end item must be inserted manually.

The rework order procedure

To rework an item, carry out the following steps:

  1. Complete the production order of the item that you want to rework, and send the end items to the warehouse.
  2. Create a new production order for the item that you want to rework in the Production Orders (tisfc0101s000) session, or the Production Order (tisfc0101m100) session. Select the Rework Order check box to change the production order to a rework order.
  3. Save the rework order. The end item now appears as an estimated material line in in the Production Order (tisfc0101m100) session on the Estimated Materials Lines tab, or in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session. You can link extra material lines, for example, for the material that you used to repair the item on the rework order. You can link operations to the rework order.
  4. Process the rework order the same way as a production order.
