Create Multilevel Repair Shop Order

Explanation

This activity is used to create a new multilevel repair shop order for a specified part.

Prerequisites

In order to create a multilevel repair shop order, the Create Multilevel Repair Shop Orders field should be selected in Site/Extended Site Info/Manufacturing. The part to be repaired should be multilevel-tracked.

In order to process a multilevel repair there are some additional requirements to be fulfilled:

The parent part to be repaired should be multilevel-tracked and there should be at least one child existing for the parent part in the as-built structure. The parent parts should be completely reserved to the multilevel repair shop order.
There should exist at least one buildable repair structure alternate for each of the structure levels to execute multilevel repair in that specific structure level.
If there exist a lot tracked, but not serial tracked parent that consist of serial tracked components in the as-built structure, such parts will not be able to reserve to a multilevel repair shop order. This combination should not occur on any level of the as-built structure corresponds to the reserved parent part.

If the parent part is serial-tracking-enabled:

The quantity in the repair shop order should be 1.
The parent part should not contain a structure underneath IFS/VIM.

Note: In case the parent part is both serial and lot/batch-tracked, the generation of as-built structure does not consider the lot/batch number of the reserved parent part. Here the as-built structure is generated by selecting the records with the highest as-built revision number for the same parent serial. This is required to get the latest as-built structure for a serial where the lot/batch number of the parent has been changed due to some reasons.

If the parent part is not serial-tracked but lot-tracked,

All the parent parts should be reserved from a single lot/batch.

System Effects

As a result of this activity the system creates a new multilevel repair shop order for the selected part. When this happens, the system creates material requirements for the parent part and any existing components the respective repair structure alternate as non-consumable materials. All the consumable components that exist in the repair structure alternate are excluded when creating a multilevel repair shop order.

Select Repair from the Structure Type list.
From the Sched Direction list, select either Forward Scheduling or Backwards Scheduling.
Enter either the earliest start date or the need date. The system calculates the start and finish dates automatically based on routing operations of the part.
Enter the desired lot size that you want to repair. Here the lot size should be 1 if the repair part is serial-tracked.
In the Revision/Alternative area, enter new values in the Structure or Routing fields if you want to use another structure or routing revision and/or alternative. Use the List of Values to select from available values.
Save your changes.
In the Operation tab, enter new operations and/or labor operations or revise existing ones as necessary to match this shop order.
In the Operation Tools tab, enter new operation tools or revise existing ones as necessary to match this shop order.
In the Detail tab, enter information about the closure of the shop order. This might include information about close tolerance or whether the order should be closed manually or automatically.

From the Shop Orders and Production Line Management/Shop Orders windows:

Create a new record.
Enter a value in the Order No field if you want. Otherwise, the system assigns a value automatically.
Enter the part number in the Part No field of the part that you want to repair. Use the List of Values to select from available parts. A value appears automatically in the Part Description field.
Select a site. Use the List of Values to choose from available sites.
Select Repair from the Structure Type list.
In the Sched Direction field, select either Forward Scheduling or Backwards Scheduling.
Enter either the earliest start date or the need date. The field in which you make the entry depends on the value that you selected in the Sched Direction field.
Enter the desired lot size that you want to repair.
