Hi everyone,
Here is our problem.
We have finished parts that need to be reworked. We want to issue the parts to a rework work order and receive the same part number back into inventory. You cannot have the header card part ID the same part number as the material part ID or you receive a self-referencing warning.
A solution given to us was to create a work order with no part number in the header card and add the part number as a co-product as well as material. This works but we believe that there is a problem in the material planning window. Since you are only receiving the co-product, the work order quantity is never reduced and therefore material planning is incorrect.
Example: We create a work order to rework 10,000 pcs and then issue the 10,000 pcs to the work order. At this point, every is okay. Now, we complete reworking half of the parts and receive 5,000 into inventory. The quantity remaining open on the work order is not reduced since we are only receiving the co-product into inventory. So now we have 5,000 piece in inventory and still show 10,000 pcs open on the work order.
Is there any way to get the co-product receipt to reduce the open qty on the work order? Is there a better way to handle rework?
We can still create a work order using the same part id in the header card and material even though we receive a self-referencing warning and that seems to work fine but not sure if that creates any other issues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
