Rework
Rework is used in situations where an article needs to be modified. Rework may be performed on both purchased and produced parts, in addition to single part replacement in completed sub modules.
There are certain settings that you will need to set:
PartChangeCostID must be defined in ADC and must be specified, format: CST/nnnnnn.
ProductPartChangeSupplierAccount must be specified, format: SUP/nnnnnn.
ReworkOperationID must be specified, format: OPR/nnnnnn.
There are certain criteria that needs to be fulfilled before a rework can be performed on a product:
The product needs to be registered to stock and free for the rework process.
The product/sub to replace part within must have a Life Cycle Management (LCM) document related which again needs to be a part of the part list tree.
Perform Rework with quantity more than 1, no parts to be changed
Find the Goods Reception (SSA) document with the product you want to rework. Note: the article needs to be entered into stock.
Enter the SSA item you want to rework. Check that the article is not locked in other processes using the FreeQty field which states how many articles are free.
Choose the Rework Product option in the context menu. This opens a popup with a list of LCM documents and serial numbers of the free articles.
Choose the revision you want the product to be reworked to in the drop down menu at the top of the popup (if no new revision exist, you should create one before starting this process). Use the checkboxes in the item lines to choose which product(s) you want to rework. Click the OK button when finished.
A new rework Production Work Order (PWO) has been made and is available in the PRODPLAN menu. Type PRODPLAN in the program field to enter the menu, and choose the folder Production. You may also find the PWO using the Stock Assignment Register (SAR) icon in the SSA item line.
Highlight the desired PWO and press ENTER. The new revision is stated in the revision field.
Pick the parts and start the production as a normal production process. Click the Production Complete button when finished.
After the production is finished, use the F12 option Forward to stock to add the reworked product(s) to stock.
Perform Rework on single quantity where parts needs to be replaced
Follow the above steps 1-6.
Pick the parts and start the production as a normal production process.
Enter the related LCM from the PWO. Here you will find the article in the part list as an item line.
Enter the product LCM. You can use the link in the Lot/Heatno column. You will now see the different parts in the LCM partlist.
The notification on the top of the screen tells you how many levels you have reached in the subkit(s).
Click the Replace Part icon, which looks like two overlapping papers. This opens the Change LCM Part popup which lists the available SSA documents where the part is registered. Highlight the one you want to change and press ENTER.
Change the part as you would normally perform a part change. Click Confirm when you are finished.
On the item line, click the clipboard icon called Part Change: Picking in progress and confirm.
Return to the PWO. You can use the link next to the ProdOrder field. Click the Production Complete button when finished.
After the production is finished, use the F12 option Forward to stock to add the reworked product(s) to stock.
