| # Work Order Material Resources (tswcs4110m000) Use this session to add material resources to a work order or to a work order activity. The selected delivery type determines how the materials are allocated to the work order or work order activity. In this session, you can also handle disassembled parts. You can enter: Serviceable parts that are waiting to be assembled. Unserviceable parts for which a follow-up work order must be created. Unserviceable parts that must be replaced. You can add work order material resources to: Work orders. Work order activities. If you link material resources to a work order activity, the resource requirements that you defined in the Resource Requirements (tsacm2120m000) session, are copied to the Work Control System module. Note If you implemented Financials, the material resources that are used for work order or work order activities are booked as work in process (WIP) costs: For the From Warehouse delivery type, WIP costs are booked based on the issued quantity. The WIP booking is adjusted based on the consumed quantity. For the From Service Inventory or the From Kit delivery types, WIP costs are booked based on the consumed quantity. Related topics Disassembly/Assembly process Material allocations, delivery types, and work order (activity) status To create follow-up work orders Work Order The work order for which the material resource line is created. Work Order The work order description is selected in the following order: The description of the service type. The description of the serialized item. The description of the item. The label description. Work Order Work Order/ Work Order Activity Status Activity Line The work order activity line for which the material resource line is created. The activity line represents the reference activity or master routing that must be carried out for the work order. The activity line is identified by a sequence number. Activity Line Work Order/ Work Order Activity Status Line Number The line that represents the material resources. The material resource line is identified by a sequence number. Item The materials that are required to carry out the work order. You can also enter a disassembled item. You can enter an item or a serialized item. Note For the Follow-up Work Order delivery type you must have identified the item as a repairable item in the Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000) session. You can change the item if the work order has the Free or Planned status, and if no warehouse orders or purchase orders are created. To be scrapped: For items with little or no value. If the delivery type is set to To Warehouse, the serial status is visible. Related topics Disassembly/Assembly process Serial Number A number that, together with the item code or manufacturer part number, uniquely identifies a component, an item, a machine, or an installation. This serial number is usually shown together with the manufacturer part number and other identification data on an identification plate that is attached to the item. Note If you have selected the From Warehouse or the Via Purchase delivery type, and the items cannot be delivered from the serial number, you must create a material resource line for each serialized item that has a serial number other than the original serial number. Example Two ABC items must be delivered from a warehouse. The specified warehouse can only deliver two items ABC-123 and one item ABC-456. For item ABC-123, the current material resource line is created. For item ABC-456, a new material resource line must be created.
