About Generating Inventory Transactions for Repairs

You can generate repair activities from an activity plan. These repair activities can result in product movements between inventory locations. Siebel Field Service recognizes product movements between inventory locations by updating the Location, Status, or Availability fields in the repair record. You can also manually update these fields. These updates automatically generate inventory transactions. Validations are performed for each movement. For example, to move an asset to a destination inventory location, the asset must exist at the source inventory location.

The following steps summarize the inventory transaction process for an internal repair:

1. Generate an inventory transaction with a value of Stock Transfer for the Type field.
2. Commit the inventory transaction.
3. Update the inventory location ID (Prod_INV_ID) for the repair number (S_PART_RPR).

Table 47 describes the rules for the inventory transactions that relate to internal repairs.
