Parts issues

When FASuite issues a part to a work order, the assumption is that you are removing a part from the equipment unit to install a separate part in its place. You decide whether to issue a new, rebuilt, or used part by entering or scanning the part ID and appropriate suffix. (You cannot issue core or scrapped parts.) If a part ID has more than one suffix, FASuite does not default a suffix for you.

• If the part is classified as re-useable, you must enter a work accomplished code to signify whether the removed part is to be placed into used inventory, or whether the other removal rules apply.

• If the part is classified as serialized, you must enter the serial number of the part being removed as well as the serial number of the part being installed. FASuite automatically maintains any component relationships between this part and the equipment unit.

• If the part is classified as warrantable, FASuite places the removed part into inventory as CORE-AWAITING WARRANTY.

• If the part is classified as rebuildable, the removed part is placed into inventory as CORE-AWAITING REBUILD.

Most warrantable parts are also classified as having a core. The warrantable flag takes precedence. If the removed part has a core but is not classified as rebuildable, it is placed into inventory as SCRAPPED. These rules are not applied to consumable parts.
