How You Rework a Work Order
You can create a rework order in manufacturing. Use the Work Definition and Work Execution work areas to do this.
Work Order
As a production supervisor, here's how you create a Rework work order:
-
Select the specific work order type.
-
Create the new Rework work order.
-
Select one of the displayed valid Rework work definitions defined for the item.
-
(Optional) Create a Rework work order without a work definition.
Based on your organization's plant parameter Manually issue assembly to rework work order, you can choose to execute a rework work order in one of two ways:
-
Automatic: When the plant parameter is disabled.
The current subinventory is the subinventory from where the rework item is automatically issued to the first operation of the work order when it is released. The rework item that was automatically issued to the first operation of the work order displays when it is released. However, you cannot update the item details.
-
Manual: When the plant parameter is enabled.
Issue the assembly item manually to a rework work order with appropriate revision. Perform operation completion up to the quantity of the assembly component item that you issued to work order. This option also lets you to do additional tasks such as:
-
Return the rework work order.
-
Update the rework work order quantity.
-
Cancel the rework work order.
-
Update the supply subinventory and locator for an assembly item.
-
Associate assembly serials after releasing the work order and so associate serials from multiple sub inventories.
-
For Lot enabled items, you need not associate the assembly lot details. The lot tab is updated based on assembly lot selected during assembly issue transaction.
The items with negative quantity can be assigned to the work order operations. Items with negative quantity are inherited though the work definition explosion, or can be ad hoc items specified for the operation.
