Define Repair Code

Explanation

This activity is used to define repair codes to be used within the system. Repair codes represent generic definitions of repair activities used to perform or build up a repair. Repair codes must be associated with an inventory part before they can be used. Repair codes are also associated with the combination of service type and repair part. You can connect several repair codes to the service type and part combination. The repair code is a way of grouping:

• Work task templates for the work order repair order type.
• Material and operations for the repair shop order repair order type.

Sets of one or more repair codes are then built up as a way to identify the steps required to perform repair. Repair codes are also used in combination with monolithic repair structures and routings to define the set of operations and components needed to perform a specific repair code on a particular part.

Furthermore, repair codes are used for parts affected by modifications and discrepancies.

Prerequisites

Repair codes can be entered anytime. However, in this context, the intention is for the repair codes to be entered after the structures for which the repair addresses have been transferred from VIM.

System Effects

• Single definitions for repair codes are created and available for further use in the MRO process. 
• Repair codes, combined with disposition codes, will allow the system to construct interim orders, which become shop orders to fixed parts that have been disassembled during overhaul.
• When MRO repair orders are created, the repair codes will be used to determine the routing operations and manufacturing structure records to be selected.

5. Save your record (F12).

Optionally you can add document text and/or note text:

1. If you want to add a document text to the newly created repair code, select the record, right-click and then click Document Text.
2. The Document Texts for Repair Code opens.
3. Create a new record (F5).
4. Enter output type and any note text.
5. Save your record (F12) and close the dialog box.

B) Define repair codes where the connection to repair part can be done

1. Open the Repair Setup Basic Data window.
2. Select the Repair Code Part tab.
3. Create a new record (F5).
4. Enter repair code, description and any note text.
5. Save changes (F12).

Optionally you can add document text and/or note text:

1. If you want to add a document text to the newly created repair code, select the record, right-click and then click Document Text.
2. The Document Texts for Repair Code Part opens.
3. Create a new record (F5).
4. Enter output type and any note text.
