Processing Material Refurbishment Without Serial Numbers
Purpose
In production facilities or other technical objects, you often require high-value components (such as pumps or motors). In case of damage, these must be replaced by an operational spare part and then refurbished in a separate order.
You create refurbishment orders for damaged repairable spares. These refer to:
The refurbishment order is used to plan and execute the change of a repairable material from the initial condition of To be refurbished to a target condition of Refurbished. Each of these orders can refer to a repairable material of quantity = 1, or of quantity > 1, which are all to be changed from a common initial condition to a common target condition.
You can use batches or different valuation types to distinguish the various conditions of the repairable spares.
This function is important in companies where system availability is a critical success factor (for example, process industries, oil producing and processing, steel processing). It is used to ensure that an adequate number of repairable spares are always available. The refurbishment of - usually high value - defective repairable spares is of considerable economic importance for these companies, and often forms a core process of Plant Maintenance.
