Enter Exchange Line
Explanation
This activity is used to enter component exchange lines. The component repair
order consists of a header, together with repair and exchange lines. Against the
exchange line, the part number and the quantity to be exchanged at the customer is
defined. You can also use this line to ship out a loan part to the customer. It is not possible to handle services of components
owned by different customers on the same component repair order.
You have two options for entering a component repair order: (1) Using an
assistant that guides you through the entire entry process and (2) manual entry.
All possible exchange actions for a component repair order are done on a line level.
The following actions can be considered as the most important:
- Register and confirm single exchange part receipts.
- Register and confirm loan returns.
- Reserve and dispatch exchange parts from stock.
- Record customer approval of dispatched parts.
Prerequisites
- An inventory part with the part type Manufactured or Purchased
must exist on the site.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, one or several exchange lines are
created.
