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.

- 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

- 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.
- Save your changes.
Note: Verify that multilevel repair is selected in the
Shop
Order/Detail tab.
