Rework order procedure for serialized items

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, because you do not know in advance which operations are required to fix the item. Regarding material, only one item is inserted as estimated material for the rework order: the end item itself. Operations and material to repair or upgrade the end item must be manually inserted.

To rework an item with a specific serial number, complete the following steps:

  1. To create a rework order, define a production order in the Production Order (tisfc0101s000) session. Select the Rework Order check box. In the Item field, enter the serialized item, and save the order.

  2. You can register the serial numbers of the rework items in two ways:

    • In the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session, select the newly created rework order, open the appropriate menu, click End Item, and click Serial Numbers. The Serial End Item - As-Built Headers (timfc0110m000) session is started. In the Serial End Item - As-Built Headers (timfc0110m000) session, enter the serial numbers of items you want to rework.
    • When you issue the rework items in the Material to Issue for Production Orders (ticst0101m100) session, move the quantity from the Subsequent Delivery field to the To Issue field. The rework items are now issued anonymously from the warehouse, which means that in Warehousing the rework items' serial numbers are determined and registered, such as by scanning the bar code.

  3. If serial numbers are registered in the Serial End Item - As-Built Headers (timfc0110m000) session, LN automatically completes the following steps:

    • The number of the rework order is displayed on the as-built header of the original production order in the Serial End Item - As-Built Headers (timfc0110m000) session.
    • LN automatically copies the as-built components of the original serial number to the rework order's as-built header. To view and maintain the rework order's as-built components in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session, on the appropriate menu, click Generate Components.

    You can check the estimated material lines of the rework order in the Production Order (tisfc0101m100) session, or in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session. The serialized item that must be reworked is on an estimated material line. Note that the value in the Net Quantity field can be less than you expected; for example, if you are reworking four serial numbers, the value of the Net Quantity field can be two instead of four. These items are not included in the value of the Net Quantity field.

  4. Process the rework order the same way as a production order.
