Create Disposition Codes for MRB

Explanation

This activity is used to create a new disposition code for a Material Review Board (MRB) case. A disposition code defines a kind of action required to be taken after the MRB evaluates the parts. This may include using a part as it is, scrapping a part, reworking a part, or returning a part to the vendor. When registering a disposition code for scrapping a part in a Shop Order (SO), the Verify SO Scrap feature can be used. This allows MRB to check whether the part has been scrapped in a SO, before completing the MRB case.  

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites for this activity.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• A new disposition code will be created for MRB cases.
• If the Verify SO Scrap check box is selected when completing an MRB case in the MRB Case window, a message will be displayed prompting you to verify whether that particular disposition part has been scrapped in the system. This check box is only selected for SO and not for parts coming from Inventory or Purchase Receipts.
