Exchange Codes—Basic Data and Requirements 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. It is also recommended to add a prefix to the data you create in this lesson. 

Main Exercise

Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to show you how to define the different types of exchanges used for Component Repair Orders (CROs), and how to enable automated functions for the exchange types you create. There are three valid types of exchanges, Single, Double and Loan, which are used to manage different part exchange scenarios. For each exchange code, it is possible to set up automated functions. When the relevant option is selected, repair lines will be created automatically for the exchange line, and the automatic approval process will be enabled for the exchange scenarios.
