Overview
The Work Order Item is the Item to be reworked and is one of the Components issued to the Work Order. Thus on a Rework Work Order, the supply is the Item to be reworked and the demand is both the Item to be reworked and any Components required for the Rework. Recording of Time and Quantity to the Rework operation is done using the Work Order Time and Quantity Booking function.
NOTE MRP considers a Rework Order as a Supply Order.
Application
Rework Work Orders might be used to rework an Item to conform to an engineering change or to rework a non-conforming Item.
Rework Work Orders differ from Standard Work Orders in that:
-
MRP does not plan Rework Work Orders.
-
The only required Component on a Rework Work Order will be the Work Order Item (the Item to be reworked).
-
Once the Item to be reworked has been issued, additional Labor and Material can be issued to the Order, as needed, or Components can be added when the Rework Order is created initially.
Operations can be extracted by setting an Alternate Operation Code on the Standard Routing Operations, then using that code when using the “Extract Operations" function. Only those Operations tagged with that alternate code will be extracted. Routing Operations can be manually entered on the Work Order as well.
NOTE No Backflushing of Components will occur for Rework Work Orders during Quantity Bookings or Work Order Receipts. All Components issued to the Work Order are manually issued.

NOTE Other Work Order Header Data Entry requirements are the same as in a Standard Work Orders.
When the Work Order is saved, the Item to be refurbished is added to the Components (Related List section of Work Order) with a Quantity Required equal to the quantity of the Rework Work Order. Reporting labor and completions to the Rework Order are the same as standard Work Orders, through the Time and Quantity Booking function.
In a Rework Work Order, if multiple Work Order Components are created with their parent Item as the component item, then corresponding Work Order Demand records are created for those Work Order Components. The user can delete these Work Order Components as long as it is not the last Work Order Demand record for the given Work Order.
Routing Extract/Operations: Alternate Operation Codes
The Alternate Operation Code is also used to identify Routing Operations specifically for Rework Work Orders. For Rework Operations, the Division “Rework-Refurb WO Operation Code” is specified on the Division Master, on the Shop Floor Control Tab. This Division-specific Alternate Operation Code is used for all Rework operations for all Items.
Use Case
To extract pre-defined Rework Operations for an Item into the Rework Work Order, the Routing Operation Extract for Alternate Work Order Operations defaults to blank. When the Operation Extract is done with the Alternate Code the same as the Division Rework Alternate code, only the Routing Operations with the specified Division Rework Alternate code will be extracted.
Navigation
Division Master Record > Shop Floor Control Tab > Rework Routing Operation Alt Code
Fields
Rework-Refurb WO Operation Code: Identifies the “Alternate Code” to be specified on Routing Master Operations in the Alternate Code field for Rework routing steps. When, on a Rework Work Order, the “Extract Operation” is selected and the Rework Alternate Code is entered (the code specified on the Division Master), the Routing Operation Extract will extract only those operations whose Alternate Code is equal to the Alternate Code on the Division Master-Shop Floor Control Tab.
NOTE The Rework Operation (with the Alternate Operation Code specified on the Division Master) is the only operation extracted as it is the only Routing Master Operation containing the Rework Alternate Code, as specified on the Division Master Record.
