Features
Refurbishment and Subcontracting Integration
You can now use refurbishment orders in the subcontracting process. Until now, an integrated refurbishment process, that is, one that integrates refurbishment orders with subcontracting purchase requisitions and subcontracting purchase orders, was not supported. Now, to enable a business process in which internal and external repair tasks can be combined if necessary, the refurbishment order has been enhanced. The refurbishment order corresponds to the standard maintenance order type PM04.
The following component repair/refurbishment scenarios are supported:
Standard repair
Replacement
Unit exchange
Planned modification
Unplanned modification (DIMP only)
Various movement types
The subcontracting process shall be supported for refurbishment orders that use transfer postings (313/315) as well as standard goods receipt and goods issue component movement types (101/261).
Various special stock types
Beside company own stock (normal stock) subcontracting from refurbishment order must be available for the following stock types:
Customer stock (B) (DIMP only) (material that belongs to a customer)
Project stock (Q) (company own stock or customer stock linked to a project)
Orders on hand (E) (material related to a specific customer order)
The following are not supported:
Forward exchange
Consignment vendor (K)
Returnable transportation package vendor (M)
Conversion of Planned Orders
Converting planned orders to refurbishment orders: Spare parts can be repaired or refurbished in an inhouse workshop by creating a refurbishment order. It was already possible to create a refurbishment order from the stock requirement list. It has been enhanced so you can select serial numbers during the conversion and transfer them to the refurbishment order.
Converting planned orders to purchase requisition for subcontracted repairs: Spare parts can be repaired or refurbished by a subcontractor. The subcontracting purchase requisition for a repair can now already be used during the conversion. Serial numbers can also be selected during the conversion and transferred to the purchase requisition.
Creating purchase requisitions from material requirements planning (MRP): Now, subcontracting purchase requisitions for repair can now be created during the MRP run.
Stock Determination
There are improved stock determination functions that allow planners to reexamine the stock situation between order creation and order release, if necessary. Previously, the stock determination function worked only during the creation of the maintenance or service order.
