Use rework orders to manage repair, reprocessing, or completion of non-conforming items. A rework order has the parent item as its only component, and no routing.
You can create an R type work order when the following conditions exist:
• You define a site and set Use Plan/Sched Workbenches to Yes in Site Maintenance.
• You define the item and set Pur/Mfg to L in Item Planning Maintenence.
After creating a rework order, you can modify its bill and routing by adding components and operations before it is released. If additional items are needed, use Work Order Component Issue (16.10) or directly modify the bill using Work Order Bill Maintenance (16.13.1).
If rework activity is a common procedure, consider establishing a rework routing in Routing Maintenance (14.13.1) and attaching it in Work Order Maintenance (16.1), or create one in Work Order Bill Maintenance (16.13.1).
If you are using the Service/Support Management module to receive items from customers and rework them, you can establish default service routings in Service Item Maintenance (11.3.7).
In Work Order Maintenance (16.1), set the WIP account, sub-account, cost center, and project to an appropriate expense account for posting rework costs.
