Explanation

It is possible to automate this step for a disposition
code by selecting the option Auto Approve in the Repair Setup Basic
Data/Disposition Code tab.

System Effects

history record will be created for the serial in VIM.
- Repair interim orders will be created which will serve as the demand order
for the repair supply shop order.
- If only a repair to be done externally is called out, a repair purchase
order and a repair interim order are created. The parts are assigned to the
repair purchase order.
- If a repair to done externally and a modification are called out, a repair
purchase order and its corresponding repair interim order are created for
the external repair (the parts are assigned to the repair purchase order)

created for the modification.
- The repair purchase order is automatically released to effectively ship
the parts to the vendor.
