Report Receipt Directly from Repair Line
Explanation
This activity is used to report receipt of customer-owned parts directly from
the repair line. The parts will be reserved to the repair line as soon as they are reported as received into inventory. In other
words, direct receipt is an efficient feature for receiving and reserving parts
in one move. However, in instances where a more comprehensive receipt handling
such as quality inspection is required, a receive order is recommended rather
than reporting receipt directly from the CRO line.
A recommendation is to use direct receipt when the demand for thorough
inspection is low and the quantity to be received is high. An example is when a large
number of fan blades are to be reported as received into a repair shop for just
a simple repaint.
In the right mouse button option menu, the Receive Part option is enabled as long as
the line is not fully reserved. When a receive order has been created (and not
has been canceled) the Receive Part option is disabled.
When reporting a direct receipt, the part ownership is set to Customer Owned
by default and cannot be changed. The owning customer will be the same as
defined in the CRO header.
When receiving serial-handled parts, a dialog box opens where you can specify
serial numbers.
If a particular serial number returns again the following conditions must be
fulfilled before you can report this part as received:
- The serial number does not exist in inventory.
- The serial number does not exist on any open order (however, the particular
serial number can exist on closed orders).
You can study the serial numbers for the received repair parts in the Tracking Info tab
in the Component Repair Order window.
Prerequisites
- An inventory part with the part type Manufactured or Purchased must exist on
the site.
- A picking location must exist on the site.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, parts are received into inventory and
subsequently reserved to the repair line. The status on the
component order line changes from Planned to Reserved.

Reporting direct receipt of serial and/or lot/batch tracked repair parts
- Open the Component Repair Order window and populate the window or query for
the record.
- Click the Repairs tab.

- If the part is condition-code-tracked enter the condition code for the
quantity to be received.
- Save the record and the Serial No
dialog box appears.
- Create number sequence for serial parts:
- For automatic numbering: If you are using a serial number for the
part, the Serial No dialog box
appears. Since you are using automatic numbering of the part, you
already have a suggestion for the serial number(s). If it is
satisfactory, select OK. Otherwise, you can edit the suggestion
and select OK. You also can select Clear and Sequence. If
you choose to do so, another dialog box appears where you can enter a
sequence of numbers. Note that alphanumerical (e.g., IFS1200) serial
numbers are not allowed when the numbering is automatic.
- For manual numbering: If you are using a serial number for the part,
the Serial No dialog box appears.
Select New and enter the serial number(s). You can also select
Sequence. If you choose to do so, another dialog box will appear where
you can enter a sequence of numbers.
- You have four possible number sequences:
- Sequence: Select New and enter your sequence in the From
Serial No and the To Serial No fields. You can select
preview to get an example view.
- Sequence with prefix: Select Add Prefix and enter your
prefix, e.g., 100. Enter your sequence in the From Serial No
and the To Serial No fields. You can select Preview to
view an example.
- Sequence with suffix: Select Add Suffix and enter your
suffix, e.g., 1999. Enter your sequence in the From Serial No
and the To Serial No fields. You can select Preview to
view an example.
- Sequence with a combination of prefix and suffix: Select and enter
prefix and suffix. Enter your sequence in the From Serial No and
the To Serial No fields. You can select Preview to view
an example.
- Click OK when completed. Depending on your previous choices, you
may have to select OK twice in the dialog boxes.
Note: If the parts are at receipt and are issue tracked, then these parts also exist as identified in the inventory after receipt. These will not be converted to asterisk ( * ) since the receipt serials are automatically reserved to the component repair order line, i.e. these serials will be processed from the component repair order line, hence it is not necessary to change them
as unidentifiable in the inventory.
