Parts


The Parts tab, available only if a valid work order ID is selected in the grid, displays parts charges posted to work orders and enables you to post charges for parts that were installed in shops to pending work orders (including parts issued from inventory as well as parts purchased directly for use on the work order and not entered into inventory). You can also use this screen to reverse previous erroneous parts issues and return parts previously issued from inventory to stock.

General Parts Tab Information

Detail View Header

The fields in the top section of this tab define the data that displays.

Detail View

Default parts list from parts required

When you click the Default parts list from parts required button, the screen group is populated from one of two sources:

New Transactions Group Data Table

The fields in the New transactions screen group define information about the parts used to complete the work order's tasks. If there is information in the Standard job ID field and a check in the Apply standard job template field on the Labor tab, information about the parts required for the standard job appears.

Unless otherwise indicated, these fields are required to assign a task to the work order.

Task ID

Identifier of the task that requires the part. This field has a list box of IDs that have a check in the Active field on the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Tasks -> Primary Information screen, which indicates you can post charges to the task. You cannot post indirect tasks to a work order.

If an account ID is entered for the line, the task IDs that display are only those associated with the account. If there are no associated task IDs listed for the account, all active tasks that support that account will display. This does not include accounts that have the Enforce task restrictions for this account option enabled on the Tasks tab of the Accounts Primary Information screen.

The following fields specify whether this task ID must be associated with a part ID/suffix on the Repair tab of the Data -> Parts Items -> Primary Information screen:

If you specify information in the Standard job ID field on the Labor tab and place a check in the Apply standard job template field on that tab, all task IDs in the standard job that have one or more parts specified on the Parts Required tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Equipment Class -> Class/Task Information screen display. The task IDs included in a standard job are specified on the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Standard Jobs screen. Only those tasks that do not have a check in the Parts only field on that tab are added.

If there is a check in the Require labor for tasks when parts charged field (indicated by the first part of the Work order ID field) on the Work Orders - Options tab on the Data -> Setup -> Organization Structure -> Locations -> Primary Information screen, this task ID must have a corresponding entry on the Labor tab before you can close the work order.

Task IDs are defined on the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Tasks -> Primary Information screen.

Work accomplished code

Code associated with the task ID for the work accomplished. This code provides more detail about the work performed in relation to the task.

Work accomplished codes and their descriptions are defined on the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Work Accomplished Codes screen.

Date

Date that the part was issued or installed. If the work order has a status of either WORK FINISHED or CLOSED, the posting date defaults to the latest date of a corresponding labor transaction for the same task ID, if available. Otherwise, the current system date is used. You can change the date, but you cannot make it later than the work finished date.  

Not from inventory

Specifies whether the part installed was issued from inventory.

If this field has a check, the installed part was not issued from inventory. Type values in the Unit price, Part ID, and Part keyword and short description fields so that the part can be identified and priced. You need not enter information in the Issuing location ID field.

Depending on whether the part ID is defined, the following actions occur when you process information with a check in this field.

If this field is blank, the part installed was issued from inventory. The appropriate information displays in the Unit price field and an entry is made in the Parts/Equipment Type (PTY_MAIN) table for the part number and the unit equipment type to which the work order applies. An entry also is made in the Recent Work Orders view (PART_RECENT_WORK_ORD).

During processing, the message Insufficient inventory on hand displays if this field does not contain a check and the issuing location does not have a record for the part or has a record for the part but the stock on hand is either zero or less than the issue quantity.

If the Return field contains a check, this field is either checked or cleared depending on whether the original issue was from inventory.

Issuing location ID

Identifier of the parts location that issued the part. There must be an inventory record for the part in the Part ID field and sufficient stock at this location. When you type information in the Task ID field, this field displays the value, if there is one, from the Default parts inventory location for shop field on the Work Orders - Defaults tab of the Data -> Setup -> Organization Structure -> Locations -> Primary Information screen. You can change it.

This field has a list box and a zoom button (to the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Setup -> Organization Structure -> Locations -> Primary Information screen, where location IDs are defined). Required if the part was issued from inventory. Optional for serialized parts if there is a check in the Do not consider stock location of serialized parts field on the General tab of the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Options screen.

Part ID

Identifier of the part. It is associated with the part suffix. This field has a list box of parts from the Parts Required tab on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Equipment Class -> Class/Task Information screen, followed by all parts stocked at the location from which you are issuing or for which you are ordering PARTS. If a part does not have a valid ID defined, this is the suppliers part number or other data that you want to enter. This field is required.

Part suffix

Number associated with the part in the Part ID field, which distinguishes it from other parts with the same part ID. The part suffix you enter must be valid for the value you enter in the Part ID field. If you enter a valid cross-reference entry for the part ID/suffix, it is automatically converted to the appropriate part ID/suffix.

Warranty vendor

Identifier of the parts vendor that supplied the part. When a part is issued through the work order center, the warranty vendor field uses the last vendor used for this part, not necessarily the preferred vendor. Otherwise, this field has a list box to choose the vendor.

Required on parts issued from inventory that are assigned to a part classification that has a check in either the Warrantable or the Has a core field on the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Part Classifications screen.  

The functions that a vendor provides (such as warranties) are specified on the Functions tab of the Data -> Setup -> Organization Structure -> Vendors -> Primary Information screen.

Return

If this field has a check, this entry is to either reverse a previous erroneous entry or to return to stock a part previously issued from inventory. You may not return more parts at a particular price than were issued to the work order at that price. The return of inventory parts to inventory is recorded at the location you specify. For all returns, the unit price for the return is retrieved from the Parts Issues (PTD_MAIN) table.

Qty on hand

If you are issuing a part to a work order, this field displays the current on-hand quantity for the part at the issuing location.

Quantity issued

Number of issue units of the part to charge or return. For non-serialized parts, the quantity issued is calculated as the <quantity being rebuilt> * <quantity required for each part per stage> * <the percentage for the part at that stage> rounded up to the next whole number.

The tabs on the following screens specify the reorder point, dependent on the value in the Manage parts ordering and Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) values field on the on the General tab of the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Options screen:

Unit price

Price per issue unit of the part (including sales tax, if any). This field supports up to four decimal places.

For parts issued from inventory, this price depends on the value in the Inventory pricing method field on the General tab of the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Options screen:

If the part was not issued from inventory and there is a check in the Default unit price on not from inventory part issues field on the Issues tab of the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Options screen, this field populates automatically if you enter a location ID, part ID, suffix, and quantity. Otherwise, type the unit price of the part.

Unit of measure

Unit of measure associated with the part. This field is display only.

Core credit

A check displays in this field automatically if the part ID has been assigned to a part classification ID with a check in the Has a core field on the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Part Classifications .

When you process information on this screen with a check in this field, the following actions occur:

If the field is blank, no action occurs.

Core unit value

Cost of the core part. If the part ID is assigned to a part classification ID that has a check in the Has a core field on the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Part Classifications screen, the Core credit value field on the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Purchasing -> Vendor/Part Information screen displays automatically.

To generate a core claim for the core costs, do one of the following:

If a core claim (similar to a warranty claim) is generated, it uses the amount of the core credit value multiplied by the value in the Quantity issued field. When the claim payment from the vendor is recorded on the Data -> Warranty -> Reimbursement Claims screen, the reduction in the parts cost is posted to the work order. You can also display and update the core claim on that screen.

Part keyword and short description

If you previously specified a part ID for parts issued from inventory, the part's description displays in this field. If the parts were not issued from inventory, you must type a description.

Fail/cause ID

Identifier of the parts failure that describes the reason the part failed or was replaced. This field has a list box. The failure code prints on the Work Order Detail report and is available in the Parts Issues (PTD_MAIN) table through Query/Report Generator , Web Modules Reporting, or any other reporting tool sold separately (such as Microsoft Access) that can attach to the database. Refer to the related documentation for these products. This field is optional.

Parts failure codes are defined on the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Parts Failure Codes screen.

Account ID

Identifier of account assigned to the work order. This field has a list box. The account ID assigned to the work order on the Basic Info tab displays in this field. This is required if there is a check in the Require entry of account ID on work orders and tasks field on the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Repair Reasons -> Primary Information screen, which takes precedence over the setting in the Account ID field on the Edit Criteria - General tab of the Data -> Setup -> Options screen.

Position ID

Identifier of the part's position on the equipment unit. This field has a list box. Required if the part classification ID has a check in the Requires positional information field on the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Part Classifications screen. Equipment unit positions are defined on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Positions screen.

Installed serial number

Serial number of the part installed on the equipment unit. This field has a list box. The choices that display depend on the part ID-suffix combination and are restricted by the first characters you type in the field before requesting the list. Required if the part classification ID has a check in the Serialized field on the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Part Classifications screen. If returning a serialized part that was not previously issued to a work order, however, leave this field blank.

The options of serial numbers change depending on whether the Return field box is checked or not.

Removed serial number

Serial number of the part removed from the equipment unit. This field has a list box. The choices that display depend on the part ID and equipment ID and are restricted by the first characters you type in the field before requesting the list. The list includes serial numbers that were removed using a "remove only" work accomplished code if that option has been enabled. Required if the part is being returned to inventory and has a serial number. If entered, the serial number must correspond to a part installed on equipment on the work order.

The options of serial numbers change depending on whether the Return field box is checked or not.
