Creating repair details for core tracked parts to be repaired externally

Create repair details for core tracked parts to be repaired externally. External repairs are initiated using external repair requisitions submitted to a supplier who will repair the part. If you select to generate external repair requisitions on the Generate Requisitions form, the system checks to see if there is a Core Qty. specified for any parts in inventory for which you have entered repair details. If so, the system generates a requisition for the core tracked part based on the specified repair details for the part.

The system updates the stock record for the part in the selected store with the repair details.

To create repair details for core tracked parts to be repaired externally:

Select Materials > Parts.
Select the part for which to create repair details, and then click the Repair Details tab.
Select the store for which to create repair details for this core tracked part.
Specify this information:

External Repair

Select to send the part to an external supplier for repair.
Note: If you select Internal Repair after saving the repair details as an External Repair, the system displays a confirmation message asking whether you wish to continue. If you select to continue, the system clears Preferred Supplier, Lead Time (Days), and Min. Repair Qty. The system enables WO Equipment, Department, and Standard WO.

The system automatically populates Core Value with the value entered on the Stores tab.

Default Core Bin

Specify the default core bin to which to return the broken core tracked part.
If you specify a Default Core Bin, the system automatically returns the broken core tracked part to the specified bin location when you return a broken core tracked part from any form from which you can return a part for repair.

Note: Infor strongly recommends using the Default Core Bin feature to reduce the number of manual steps required to manage your core tracked data. Specifying a Default Core Bin in the repair details eliminates the need to manually enter a bin location for returning the broken core tracked part when you actually issue/return the part for repair.

Preferred Supplier

Enter the preferred supplier for which to generate the requisition for repair.

Lead Time (Days)

Specify the lead time for the core tracked part in days. The specified lead time is added to the date requested (system date) to determine the amount of additional lead time necessary for processing the repair.

Min. Repair Qty.

Specify the minimum quantity for repair that will trigger the generation of a requisition for the core tracked part.

Auto-Assign

Select to indicate that the system automatically assign parts for repair from the specified Default Core Bin when generating a repairable cores work order or requisition.
If you select Auto-Assign, the system attempts to assign the number of parts in Qty. to Repair from the specified Default Core Bin when generating repair work orders or requisitions. If there are parts to be repaired in the Default Core Bin, the system automatically assigns the parts from the bin location to the work order or requisition first. When the system assigns all of the parts for repair located in the Default Core Bin or if no parts are located in that bin, the system then checks other bin locations for the parts to assign to the work order or requisition.

Note: The assignment process for a core tracked part denotes a bin location from which a part is to be taken for repair, not a location in which to place a part for repair.
Click Submit.

Note: If you are using LIFO/FIFO as your pricing method and the RPPRCCAL installation parameter is set to NO, the system protects the internal repair price and records the base price of the part in the R5FIFO table.
