| Processing SubassemblyWhen a work order receives an item, that requires maintenance,
the item is disassembled into various components and you can decide upon a
follow-up action for each disassembled component. These disassembled components
are called subassemblies. Business Example A car is received from a customer on a maintenance sales order
and a work order is created for the same. The engine, gearbox, wheels and the
tyres are disassembled. Action Outgoing Subassembly: An outgoing subassembly can be linked to a work order activity
or to a work order directly and can be registered manually. For each
disassembled component, an outgoing subassembly is created in the Work Order Outgoing Subassemblies (tswcs4150m000) session. You can specify the
action that must be performed on each subassembly. With reference to the business example, the following outgoing
subassemblies are registered. You can process these subassemblies using the Process option in the Work Order Outgoing Subassemblies (tswcs4150m000) session: - The Wheels: Outgoing subassembly is created with the Action Outgoing Subassembly field set to To Location. The subassembly is transferred to the Location selected manually. The subassembly is
received from this location by the Assembly Activity.
- The Gearbox: Outgoing subassembly is created with the Action Outgoing Subassembly field set to To Warehouse. The subassembly is transferred to the Warehouse selected manually. The subassembly is
received from this warehouse by the Assembly Activity. When processed, a warehouse order
is created to handle the inbound.
Note The subassembly is stored as company owned inventory or
customer owned inventory. In case of company owned, the ownership is changed
from customer to the service organization. If the subassembly is stored as company owned inventory and is
replaced by a new part from inventory, a material resource line is created in
the Work Order Material Resources (tswcs4110m000) session. - The Tyres: Outgoing subassembly is created with the Action Outgoing Subassembly field set to To Scrap. The subassembly is scrapped. If the subassembly is replaced by
a new part from inventory, a material resource line is created in the Work Order Material Resources (tswcs4110m000) session. The new part can be owned by the
customer or by the service organization. When processed, the ownership, actual
location, and status data is modified in the Physical Breakdowns (tscfg2110m000) and Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) sessions.
- The Engine: Outgoing subassembly is created with the Action Outgoing Subassembly field set to To Location for Work. The subassembly is transferred to the Location selected manually and a related work order
is generated that is used for further repair work on the subassembly. The
relation between the initiating work order and the related work order is saved
in the Related Orders (tsmdm4500m000) session. The engine is repaired at the location
and the actual costs for material, labor and other costs are booked on the
related work order.
Action Incoming Subassembly: LN generates the incoming subassembly based on the Action Incoming Subassembly specified in the Work Order Outgoing Subassemblies (tswcs4150m000) session. You can view the
incoming subassemblies in the Work Order Incoming Subassemblies (tswcs4151m000) satellite session in the Work Order (tswcs2100m100) session. With reference to the business example, following incoming
subassemblies are registered, when the outgoing subassemblies are processed.
You can process these subassemblies using the Process option in the Work Order Incoming Subassemblies (tswcs4151m000) session. - The Wheels: Incoming subassembly is created with the Action Incoming Subassembly field set to From Location. The Assembly Activity receives the subassembly from the Location. The Received on Shop Floor check box is selected in the Work Order Incoming Subassemblies (tswcs4151m000) session, if the subassembly is
received on shop floor.
- The Gearbox: Incoming subassembly is created with the Action Incoming Subassembly field set to From Warehouse. The Assembly Activity receives the subassembly from the Warehouse. A warehouse order is created when incoming
subassembly is created. You must select the Received on Shop Floor check box in the Work Order Incoming Subassemblies (tswcs4151m000) session, if the shipment for
the subassembly is received on shop floor.
- The Tyres: The subassembly is scrapped and a replacement part
is procured from the warehouse. A material resource line is created in the Work Order Material Resources (tswcs4110m000) session.
- The Engine: Incoming subassembly is created with the Action Incoming Subassembly field set to From Location for Work. The incoming subassembly is processed only after
the related work order is Completed and Signed-Off.
