| # Integration procurement and depot repair Depot repair serves to repair or upgrade parts. An integration is available between Service and Procurement to buy repair parts or to subcontract the repair or upgrade. Service can create a work order that posts its requirements to Procurement. The generated purchase order's origin is Maintenance. The following depot repair processes are supported: The department that carries out the indoor repairs or upgrades is not equipped with all the necessary repair parts and needs additional parts from a third party. The department that is responsible for the repairs or upgrades hires another company (the subcontractor) to carry out the repair or upgrade. Purchasing additional parts A purchase order is generated of order type Maintenance when the work order is Planned successfully. The additional parts that are received on a purchase order, must be committed immediately. This is for assuring that the goods can only be used by the work order that created the purchase order and not by any other order. This is also called an inventory commitment of the goods for the work order. A purchase order that contains additional items must be released to Warehousing. Consequently, Procurement passes the order origin, work order, work order line and required quantity to Warehousing. In Warehousing, the receipts are committed. Warehousing will commit the received quantity until the total required quantity is committed for the order. For more information, refer to To purchase additional parts. Purchasing subcontracting activities A purchase order is generated of order type Maintenance when the work order is Released successfully. Procurement or Warehousing informs Work Control System on the receipt of the item. For more information, refer to Purchasing subcontracting items. Canceling and deleting a work order and related purchase order Irrespective of the work order's or purchase order's status, in Work Control System, you can always cancel or delete a work order and in Procurement, you can always cancel or delete a purchase order. However, no interaction exists between Work Control System and Procurement. You can independently cancel or delete work orders or purchase orders that relate to each other.
