Releasing CAMRO Interim Order Structures-Key Exercises

IMPORTANT
If you are a student, it is extremely important that you set up and work within your own site to maintain your data integrity. If you work within any other site, you will compromise your own exercise data as well as the data of other students. Predictable exercise results require that your data be isolated in your own site.

Creating an CAMRO Interim Order Structure

Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to create the required data that will be used in the Release CAMRO Interim Order Structure exercises.

  1. Create an CAMRO Interim Order Structure.
  2. In the table below, record the interim header id and serial number used in the creation of the order structure for later reference.

    Note: It is suggested users use a serial number that they can easily identify as their own creation in later queries, such as prefixing the serial number with their initials, or some other such method.

Steps: To complete this exercise, perform the following steps.

  1. Open the CAMRO Interim Order Structure window.

  2. Query up the interim header id recorded in the previous exercise. Observe the state of the order structure. It should be Created.

  3. Click the Tree Structure tab, then the Disassembly tab, followed by the Detail tab in the Disassembly tab. Observe the state for a number of the disassembly and disposition orders. They should all be in state Created. Do the same in the Assembly tab.

  4. Click on the top-level disassembly order in the Disassembly tab in the Tree Structure tab. Click on the Assignments tab. Observe that there is an inventory assignment of real part number 11000 and the serial number you recorded in step 2 of the previous exercise. Observe further that the Reserved To Supply checkbox is not selected.

  5. In the header section of the window, right-click, then click Release. Click OK on the subsequent information message dialog box. This will post a background process which executes the release of the order structure.

  6. Open the Background Jobs window and populate. Highlight the row corresponding to the Interim Order Release process. If the state of the process is Posted, right-click, then click Execute. Verify that the state of the process is Ready.

  7. Reselect the interim header id in the drop down list box of the Interim Header Id field. Click the Tree Structure tab, then the Disassembly tab, followed by the Detail tab in the Disassembly tab. Observe the state for a number of the disassembly and disposition orders. They should all be in state Released. Do the same in the Assembly tab.

  8. Click on the top-level disassembly order. In the Assignments tab of the Disassembly tab in the Tree Structure tab, verify that the Reserved To Supply checkbox is now selected.

  9. The general principle sought to be illustrated in steps 4 through 7 is that when a disassembly shop order is received, the next interim order(s) will have inventory assignments created for them (one for each component) which indicate that the received components have been assigned to their respective disassembly interim orders. If the next order(s) have not been released, the Reserved To Supply checkbox in the inventory assignment record is not selected, and vice-versa.

  10. On the assembly order side, whenever a component supply order (either a disposition or repair or an assembly order) is received, an inventory assignment record is created in the parent assembly interim order. Thus an assembly interim order will usually have multiple inventory assignments, one for each component, whereas a disassembly order will have only one assignment, the part being disassembled in the disassembly interim order.

Releasing an CAMRO Interim Order Structure by Type

Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to introduce you to the functionality for releasing sections of an MRO interim order structure by type of interim order, i.e. disassembly, disposition and assembly orders.

Steps: To complete this exercise, perform the following steps.

  1. Run the initial Creating an MRO Interim Order Structure exercise. This will create the necessary order structure.

  2. Open the CAMRO Interim Order Structure window.

  3. Query up the interim header id recorded in the step 1. Observe the state of the order structure. It should be Created.

  4. Click the Tree Structure tab, then the Disassembly tab, followed by the Detail tab in the Disassembly tab. Observe the state for a number of the disassembly and disposition orders. They should all be in state Created. Do the same in the Assembly tab.

  5. In the header section of the window, right-click, then click Release Disassembly Orders. Click OK on the subsequent information message dialog box. This will post a background process which executes the release of the disassembly orders only in the order structure.

  6. Open the Background Jobs window and populate. Highlight the row corresponding to the Interim Order Release process. If the state of the process is Posted, right-click, then click Execute. Verify that the state of the process is Ready.

  7. Reselect the interim header id in the drop down list box of the Interim Header Id field. Click the Tree Structure tab, then the Disassembly tab, followed by the Detail tab in the Disassembly tab. Verify the state for all of the disassembly orders only. They should all be in state Released. The state of the interim header id should be Partially Released.

  8. Now verify the state of all of the disposition orders. They should all still be in state Created. Do the same in the Assembly tab. All of the assembly orders should also still be in state Created.

  9. Repeat steps 5 through 7, this time clicking Release Disassembly Orders in the header. Verify that all of the disposition orders are now in state Released. The state of the interim header id should still be Partially Released.

  10. Repeat steps 5 through 7, this time clicking Release Assembly Orders in the header. Verify that all of the assembly orders are now in state Released. The state of the interim header id should now be Released.

Releasing an CAMRO Interim Order Structure by Level

Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to introduce you to the functionality for releasing sections of an MRO interim order structure by level, i.e. a branch of the order structure, either in the disassembly or assembly structure sections.
