| # To purchase additional parts If a department that carries out indoor repairs or upgrades is not equipped with all the necessary parts and needs additional parts from a third party, a purchase order must be created from a work order. Step 1. To create a work order You can create a work order in the Work Orders (tswcs2100m000) session. Enter an item for which you need additional parts. On the Specific menu you can choose Material Resources to add material resources (= lines) to the work order. As a result, the Work Order Material Resources (tswcs4110m000) session starts. Enter an item and select Via Purchase in the Delivery Type field to determine that it is Purchase Control that commits the materials to the work order. You can also define activities for a work order. After you created the work order header, on the Specific menu of the Work Orders (tswcs2100m000) session, click Work Order Activities. As a result, the Work Order Activities (tswcs2110m000) session starts, in which you can create and maintain work order related lines that each specify a maintenance activity. On the Specific menu of the Work Order Activities (tswcs2110m000) session, click Material Resources to add material resources to the work order activity. In the Work Order Material Resources (tswcs4110m000) session, you must enter an item and select Via Purchase again in the Delivery Type field. The date you enter in the Earliest Start Time field or the Planned Start field of the Work Orders (tswcs2100m000) session is displayed as the planned delivery date in the purchase order. Step 2. To plan a work order Plan the work order in the Work Order Planning/Releasing (tswcs3200m000) session to generate a purchase order. If the work order is released successfully, the work order has the status Planned and a purchase order is generated with order type Maintenance. This can be viewed in the Origin field of the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) session. On the Specific menu of the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session, you can click Purchase Order Line - Linked Information. As a result, the Purchase Order Line - Linked Information (tdpur4502s000) session starts in which you can find the original maintenance work order. Step 3. To commit inventory for a work order The receipts for additional parts are carried out in Warehouse Management. When you add lines to the work order in the Work Order Material Resources (tswcs4110m000) session, you must define the Warehouse field and select the Commitment Required check box. As a result, a purchase receipt automatically results into an inventory commitment for the work order in Warehouse Management. Warehouse Management commits the received quantity until the total required quantity is committed for the order. In the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session, the following fields provide information about the commitment of goods: Inventory Allocated Committed Inventory Related topics Integration between Purchase Control and Depot Repair To purchase additional parts |
