Report Arrival from a CRO Receive Order

Explanation

This activity is used to report a receive order for customer-owned parts in the maintenance repair overhaul (MRO) component as arrived, ready for inspection, received into quality inspection location, or received into inventory.

A receive order is created directly from the component repair order line. The receive order is based on a regular purchase order, which means that a receive order allows you to use all the functionality related to the purchase order and receipt handling in IFS/Purchasing. However, you can use a streamlined process where you can receive into stock directly from the CRO Material Receive Order window.

One of the main principles in the ordinary receipt process is the receive case. Receive cases can be seen as predefined working processes. The most common way of working is to have a default receive case and any inspection code specified for the combination of supplier and purchase part. This receive case and any quantity to be inspected is then given by default when the receive order is created. However, you can easily change the default receive case when receiving the parts, or you can manually move the parts to a quality inspection location, process control plans, etc., from the Purchase Order Receipt window.

When the total quantity to be received are placed on a picking location, the quantity is automatically reserved to the component repair order line, and the receive order is closed.

You can also register accessories which are sent by the customer together with the parts that are to be repaired. Accessories could be a remote control, a power cable, or the like. Accessories are always non-inventory parts and will not create any inventory transactions. If the accessory is to be returned back to the customer, select the Return Part check box. Optionally you can specify an acquisition value for the accessories. To denote that the part is received, select the Received check box and write a receipt note.

Any serial numbers reserved to a component repair order line can be studied in the Tracking Info tab.

Prerequisites

• A component repair order (CRO) receive order must have been created, and the status should be Released.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the following happens:

• If you have chosen to place the received parts in an arrival location, the status will be Arrived. This means that any quality control and receipt into stock remains.
• If you for some reason just report a subset as received, the status will be Received.
• When the total quantity is reported as received into stock, or the quantity is within the closing tolerance, the receive order is closed and the status will be Closed.
