Approve Disposition Line

Explanation

Use this activity to set the state of a shop order disposition line to Approved. Once the line is approved, the processing is complete. Note that no processes exist to unrelease or unapprove a disposition line.

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.

Prerequisites

This activity requires the existence of a disposition shop order with the state of Released. In addition, there must be disposition line(s) with the state of Released.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the following system effects will occur:

• The state of the shop order disposition line will be set to Approved. 
• Repair shop orders will be created and the parts assigned to the repair shop order if the disposition code calls out discrepancies or if there is a modification that applies to this serial.
• If the discrepancy code has a cross reference to a VIM fault code, a fault 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) and a repair shop order and its corresponding repair interim order are created for the modification.
• The repair purchase order is automatically released to effectively ship the parts to the vendor. 
• The pegged assembly shop order allocation will be updated and the appropriate parts assigned to it, if there is no discrepancy or modification called out. The user can update the allocation from the set of valid alternates.
• A disposition action history record will be created.
• An interim order history record will be created.
