Add Supplier Loan
Explanation
In some cases you need to borrow an exchange part
during the repair of the a part. Use this activity to specify a supplier loan part,
which would be required if you want a supplier to provide you with a loaner part
before you send the faulty part to the supplier for repair. When the original part is repaired, the supplier
returns it to you, at which point you return the supplier loan to the
supplier. It is assumed that the loan part is functionally
equivalent to the faulty original part and has been established as an
alternate part on the Alternate Parts
tab of the Part window.
To add a supplier loan part to an external service order, return to the
existing purchase order and purchase order line for the part that needs to be
repaired, and specify on a new line which loan part
you would like to receive.
Prerequisites
- A purchase order with order code 6 (External Service
Order) and a purchase order line for the part to be repaired must have been
created, then released and/or confirmed.
- The loan part must have been established as an
alternate part with serial tracking (as indicated on the
Alternate
Parts and General tabs, respectively, of the
Part window).
System Effects
As a result of this activity, the system creates a new purchase order
line for the supplier loan part. The ownership will be set to Supplier Loan and owner to the
supplier ID.
