Normal repair process

When the refurbishment order is saved or released, a subcontracting purchase requisition is created automatically. The purchase requisition is later transferred into the subcontracting purchase order.

The purchasing documents are created with item category ‘L’ for subcontracting. Only if this item category is used is the subcontracting functionality activated and the SPEC2000/LB tab page visible. This is where the subcontracting type together with the stock information and the already assigned serial numbers is shown.

The subcontracting type and stock information are determined from the settings made for the rework material in the refurbishment order (material provision indicator and special stock indicator).

Subcontracting type 1 is used for the refurbishment process with unchanged material and serial number. Subcontracting purchasing documents created from the refurbishment order are of account assignment category ‘F’. The repair costs are later posted to a G/L account and to the refurbishment order using the related cost element.

The purchase document item shows the receiving material and quantity. The rework material is added to the item as component. When the refurbishment of the part is finalized with the refurbishment order goods receipt (101), the receipt of the subcontracted part must still be posted to unserviceable stock. For scenarios, where the goods receipt for the subcontracting purchase order already posts the physical inventory increase, and a 101 goods receipt does not take place for the refurbishment order, the goods receipt shall directly use the serviceable location.
