Tool refurbishing using maintenance work order
You can now refurbish a tool using an internal maintenance work order. To use or refurbish the tool item using the Depot Repair functionality, the Tool Used in Maintenance check box must be selected in the Tool Numbers (titrp0102m000) session. The tool must be defined as serialized item in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session. This serialized item can be specified on the work order header.
When you plan a work order, the tool requirement is created in the Estimated Tool Requirements (titrp0111m000) session. Also an order line is created in the Availability Planning (titrp0513m000) session, If the Critical in Availability Planning check box is selected in the Tools (titrp0101m000) session.
When the tool to be refurbished is issued from the warehouse and the work order Status is set to Released, the Status is set to In Refurbishing in the Tool Numbers (titrp0102m000) session. When the tool item is refurbished and the work order Status is set to Completed, the tool is sent back to the warehouse and the refurbishing data for the tool is updated in the Tool Numbers (titrp0102m000) session.
When you subcontract the tool refurbishment to a subcontractor, a subcontracting reference activity and an outgoing subassembly line is created for the tool item in the Work Order Outgoing Subassemblies (tswcs4150m000) session. When this outgoing subassembly is processed, a new work order activity line is created for the subcontracting reference activity. When this work order activity is released, a purchase order is created for the material supply line for the tool item.
When the purchase order is processed, the tool is sent to the subcontractor for refurbishment. After refurbishment, the tool is received in the warehouse. This tool is issued to the repair shop using an incoming subassembly line.
When the work order is completed, the tool is sent back to the warehouse and the refurbishing data is updated in the Tool Numbers (titrp0102m000)
