Receive Substitute Part

Explanation

Use this activity to receive a substitute part. However, if the receiving substitute part is equal to a shop order part and/or one of its by-products, then you will not be able to receive it as a substitute part. For catch-unit-enabled substitute parts, you must enter the catch unit.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that;

• The material must be issued and operations must be reported.
• The original part and the substitute part must have the same tracking definition (for both serial and lot tracking) in the part catalog.
• If the order is connected to a control plan for which the Receipt Not Allowed check box is selected, the control plan analysis needs to be confirmed and all-time triggers need to be stopped.
• The part to be received must not belong to shop order part and/or be a by-product of the shop order.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the system causes a substitute part to be received at a specified inventory location. If the shop order is connected to a project activity, the parts are received into project inventory. When you enter the shop order, you can specify that it should be closed automatically, provided that the number of parts received is within the closure tolerance. If it is, the shop order is closed automatically. If you have selected manual closure, you must close the shop order after you have completed the receipt. If the shop order is customer order-based and was created when a customer order line was entered, the received part is automatically reserved for the customer order line. A work in process (WIP) transaction is created.

When you receive substitute part and you have the parent part manually pegged to a demand you will get an error message if the quantity remaining for parent part is below the quantity pegged.

When receiving a substitute of a tracked part (either lot-tracked or serial-tracked, or both), the lot/batches and serial numbers reserved to the shop order are still used. If you need to receive the substitute part with a different lot/batch or serial number, you should first un-reserve the incorrect lot/batch or serial number, and then reserve the correct values.
