    See the following processing rules when generating work orders for repairable spare parts:

    • If you selected Use Stock Method for a part on the Repair Details tab of the Parts form, the system calculates the Qty. to Repair based on the stock replenishment method specified for the part in the holding store. For example, you create a part OOV-REX-TRA-25G for which Min/Max is the Stock Method with a Minimum Qty. of 5 and a Maximum Qty. of 10. The current Qty. on Hand of OOV-REX-TRA-25G is 4 and the stock Qty. for Repairis 9. When you generate an internal repair work order for the part, the system calculates the Qty. to Repair on the work order as 6 parts rather than 9 to update the Qty. on Hand of the part in stock to the specified maximum of 10.
    • If you do not select Use Stock Method for a part on the Repair Details tab of the Parts form, the system automatically generates the work order for the full Qty. for Repair on the Repair Details tab of the Parts form.
    • If you do not select Auto Assign on the Repair Details tab of the Parts form, the system automatically generates the work order for a Qty. Assigned of 0, and you must use the Assign Repair Details popup on the work order to make assignments.
