Process quarantine inventory - rework

The rework options are used if the items must be reworked to the existing specification or a new specification.

After selecting a rework option and the process option for the selected disposition or disposition lines, LN creates an SFC Production rework order. The rework order is based on the originating order for which the items were sent to quarantine.

The rework order is the disposition order displayed in the Disposition Order field of the Quarantine Inventory Disposition (whwmd2172m000) session.

If you select Rework (to New Specification), you can specify a new target item in the To Item field on the disposition line in the Quarantine Inventory (whwmd2671m000) or Quarantine Inventory Disposition (whwmd2172m000) session. The new target item is listed on the rework order. After rework the new target item will be received again upon completion.

If you select Rework (to Existing Specification), the same item will be received again upon completion.

When the rework order is generated, the item to be reworked is displayed as an estimated material line in the Production Order (tisfc0101m100) and Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) sessions.

After releasing the rework order, LN generates a warehousing order for which you can perform the outbound and shipment procedures to issue and ship the rework items to production. When generating outbound advice, LN considers the inventory blocked for quarantine.

LN takes the peg information of the rework order from the receipt line pegs or the outbound order line pegs of the originating order, and selects the pegs having a quantity in quarantine. The quarantine quantities are displayed in the Quarantine Inventory field of the Receipt Line Peg Distribution (whinh3528m000) and Outbound Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh2190m000) sessions. The quarantine quantity is decreased when the shipment lines are confirmed.

The quantities to be reworked are subtracted from the quarantine inventory and subsequently the project inventory.

The rework quantity is subtracted from the pegs involved in sequence of earliest requirement date: first the rework quantity is subtracted from the peg with the earliest required date, if that does not cover the entire rework quantity, the peg with the second earliest required date is taken, and so on.

The earliest required date has priority, because the rework process is considered a protracted receipt. Simply put, rework means that production took longer.

You cannot manually change the quantities to be reworked on the SFC Production rework order. You can only change these quantities by changing the rework outbound order line pegs.

Issues of consigned or customer owned items are performed according to the settings of the Issue Ownership and Issue Strategy fields in the outbound order lines.

If the rework order is backflushed, the outbound and shipment procedures do not apply. Instead, during backflushing the shipped quantity is updated in the linked disposition lines. If the rework order is pegged, the quarantine quantities and the shipped quantities are updated for each linked receipt line or outbound order line peg of the original production order.
