Enter CRO Part Line

Explanation

This activity is used to enter component repair order part lines. The component repair order consists of a header and part lines and is used for many different kinds of services. It is on the part line the part and the quantity to be repaired is defined. The parts to be processed on the component repair order lines must be owned by the same customer. It is not possible to handle services of components owned by different customers on the same component repair order.

You have two options for entering a component repair order: (1) Using an assistant that guides you through the entire entry process and (2) manual entry.

The information entered in the component repair order header is inherited to all component repair order lines. On the part line you can manually change the default values retrieved from the header at any time during the repair process.

All possible actions for a component repair order are done on a line level. The following actions can be considered as the most important:

• Updating fault information inherited from the header or specifying fault information for this particular part line.
• Updating of specifying package condition.
• Registering part receipt and/or reserving from stock.
• Selecting repair order type.
• Specifying service types.
• Analyzing costs and process sales lines.
• Creating a customer order for dispatch of the the repaired part.

The service types contain information about the repair actions for the part and the amounts the customer is to be charged. A service type can, with the correct settings, generate a predefined work scope for work order and components and/or operations for repair shop order.

The repair order type determines how and the kind of environment in which the service will be performed. The default value is Not Decided. The selection of a specific repair order type depends on the complexity of the service and whether you work in a work order, or in a shop order environment.

• Work Order is suited for simple repairs in a work order environment.
• Repair Shop Order is suited for simple repairs in a shop order environment.
• External Service Order is suited for both simple and advanced repairs in both a work order and in a shop order environment.
• Disposition Shop Order is suited for advanced repairs in a shop order environment.

You can create new part lines for an existing component repair order as long as the status is Released.
