| # Disassembly/Assembly process If you carry out maintenance on an item, you can decide to disassemble the item. For example, you take the engine off an airplane because you want to clean it separately. The actions that can be carried out on the dissasembled components depend on the component's item condition. No activities are carried out, the component is serviceable. If the component's item condition is serviceable, the component must be stored in a location until it is reassembled. You can store the component in the default work order location. If you store the component in another location, you must create a work order material resource line for this component. The work order material resource line must have the Location delivery type. If you create a work order activity line to assemble the item, a work order material resource line that has the Location delivery type, is added to the work order activity line. A follow-up work order must be created to repair or overhaul the unserviceable component. A work order material resource line with the Follow-up Work Order delivery type is created for the disassembled component. The code that identifies the follow-up work order is stored on the material resource line. If an assembly activity is created for the component, a work order material resource line with the Follow-up Work Order delivery type is added to the work order activity at the same time. The disassembled component is replaced. You can also send the unserviceable component to a warehouse to be repaired or overhauled. To send the component to a warehouse, you must create a work order material resource line with the To Warehouse delivery type. A non-related work order is created to repair the component. If the unserviceable component cannot be repaired, it must be scrapped. To scrap the component, you must create a work order material resource line with the Delivery for Scrap delivery type. In both cases a replacement line, which is a work order material resource line for a new component, will be added to a selected assembly activity and immediately released. |
