Create Replacement Order - Rent In
Explanation
You might need to exchange the parts that were rented in, with
your suppliers due to various reasons. As an example, if the rented in parts are
malfunctioning or have to undergo scheduled maintenance, then you might need to
exchange these parts with some new parts with your supplier.
Use this activity to create a replacement purchase
order to receive the replacement parts from the supplier. You need to handle the
replacement purchase order to receive the replacement parts into the inventory.
You also have the facility to send the replacement
purchase order via connectivity messages.
You also need to handle the supplier return manually to send out the faulty parts
back to the supplier.
Managing the rental and the financial control of the
replacement order line will be handled by the original rental number which
corresponds to the original purchase order line.
Prerequisites
The original purchase order might have been received
into inventory.
System Effects
Based upon the quantity of parts to be returned, a replacement
purchase order is created.
- A new purchase order will have the same supplier and
the demand code will be set to Replacement Purchase Order. The purchase order has the status Planned. The
original rental number will be displayed in the purchase order line level.
- If the purchase order was initiated from a work
order for an inventory part, when a replacement order is created for such a
purchase order, a material line will be created on the work order pegged to
the replacement purchase order.
