You can also use the Repair Jobs window to create nonstandard discrete jobs. Repairs that are ready to be submitted into WIP can be selectively chosen and grouped into a single WIP job if you want to create only one job. You can group damaged products returned by multiple customers into the same job as long as the product is returned and the WIP job completion dates for the damaged product are the same. You can opt not to change the product before submitting the job.

By setting the site-level profile option Service: Mininum Repair Status for Submitting Jobs, you can flexibly define the minimum status (Repair Diagnosed, Charges Entered, or Charges Approved) of a repair line required to create a nonstandard WIP job. This profile option applies to all repair lines. For example, if repairs can be started as soon as the problem is diagnosed, set the profile option to Repair Diagnosed, and all repairs that have been diagnosed will be allowed to go into WIP. Alternatively, if the estimates for repair lines have to be approved by the customer before repairs can begin, then by setting the profile option accordingly, only those repair lines that have estimate approval from the customer will be allowed to go into WIP. Repair lines that do not have estimate approval from the customer are automatically excluded from being selected to be processed in WIP. If the Allow Job flag is set in Repairs, then any repair lines in the Repair Jobs window can be selected regardless of the profile option's setting. See: Oracle Service Profile Options.

The depot repair module creates a non-standard WIP job. You can view the job's status in the Repairs window. You can specify the job name while creating the repair job in the Repair Jobs window if the Single job creation option is selected. After the WIP job completes, the Depot Repair Control program updates the status of these repairs.

   To create a WIP job for repairing damaged products:

1. Navigate to the Repair Jobs window.

The Repair Jobs-Find Repairs window appears.

2. In the Repair Jobs-Find Repairs window, enter search criteria for repair lines that are ready for job submission in Work in Process. Check the Change Item box if you want to change the product before creating a repair job.

3. Choose Find.

4. In the Repair Jobs window, select a product and Repair Org.

5. Select a WIP Accounting Class.

6. Enter a job completion date.

7. Enter a job name.

8. Select a routing reference.

9. If you selected a routing, optionally select an alternate routing.

10. Choose either Single Job or Multiple Jobs.

If the Single job option is selected, then one job is created for all the repair lines selected, and the quantity is the sum of the quantity for each repair line. If the Multiple jobs option is selected, one job is created for each line selected.

11. Select one or more repair lines.

12. Choose the Submit Job button to create one or more WIP jobs for all the selected repair lines.

When you choose Submit Job, the WIP Mass Load concurrent program is run to import the jobs into Oracle WIP. After the WIP job for repair is completed, you must run the Depot Repair Control program to change the status of the repair records.
