Introduction
There may be times in an organization where an item needs to
be disassembled. This can be due to the nature of the organization that
disassembles an item as their primary business function, such as the
disassembly of a used car for use as spare parts. Apart from that, other
possibilities include the disassembly of an item that was assembled previously
for a temporary period. This could be the disassembly of display furniture
whereby, as the final piece of furniture, it is disassembled for packing and
resell.
To disassemble an item in Exact Globe, you need to create a production order to reflect
this. The rationale for this is that an order needs to be created in order to
disassemble the item.
To disassemble an item, go to Manufacturing/Entries/Production orders and then click on the Disassemble button.
Description
Warehouse
Type or select the relevant warehouse where the items that
require disassembly are stored. Selecting the correct warehouse here affects
the choosing of the item later as the system ensures that the item selected is
present in the warehouse.
Parent project
Type or select the parent project of this disassembly
production order.
Description
Enter a description for this disassembly production order.
This serves to provide extra information about the order.
Cost center
The Cost center
of the resource that created the production order is displayed. This information
cannot be edited.
BOM section
Show
In normal circumstances, labor hour, machine hour and extra charges
are not listed for the disassembly of an item. However, these items can be
added individually, where required. In such a case, you can select the bill of material
(BOM) to show Labor hour, Machine and/or Extra charge.
Production Orders: Disassemble Process Flow
This process flow
displays the status of the disassembly production order. Once a step is
completed, you will see a green check mark and the completion date under the
corresponding process step. A red cross indicates that the step is not completed
while “Skip” indicates that the step is not mandatory.
However, not all
steps in the process flow are available. For example, if authorization is not
mandatory as defined at System/General/Settings,
under Manufacturing settings, then
the Authorized process step will not
appear.
The process flow
also allows you to process the disassembly production order by clicking the
relevant process step. For example, if you want to authorize the disassembly
production order, click Authorized.
Ordered
A green check mark and a date indicate that the production order
has been entered on the shown date.
Authorized
Click this to authorize the production order. If the
production order is already authorized, clicking this will remove the
authorization. A message “Already authorized” will be displayed. Click Continue to remove the authorization or
Cancel to exit.
Released
Click this to release the production order.
Note: If the
authorization is not mandatory, as defined at System/General/Settings, under Manufacturing
settings, then the Released
process flow will appear with a green check mark and the word “Skip”.
Printed
Click this to print the production order.
Issued
Click this to issue the production order.
Received
Click this to enter the receipts for the production order.
Completed
Click this to complete the production order. A green check
mark and the word “Yes” indicate that the production order have been set as
completed. When a production order is completed, it is no longer possible to
perform further actions to it such as fulfilling it, issuing it, realizing the
labor hours, or receiving items from it.
Buttons
Outsourced, Scrap, Explode
These buttons are not available as they are not related to
the disassembly of an item.
Transfer, Suborders, Generate suborders
These buttons are not available as they do not apply to the
disassembly of an item. They are only available if it is a normal production
order.
Source
This button is enabled only after the disassembly order has
been authorized. However, sources of a production order are available only if
it is generated from a sales order or internal use. As such, it is not relevant
for a disassembly order.
Purchase
This button is enabled only after the disassembly order has
been authorized. This is applicable when a back-to-back order needs to be
generated due to insufficient stock of a part for the item. As such, this is
not relevant for a disassembly order.
Project
Click this to view the details of the project which is created
automatically when the disassembly order is created.
MRP
Click this to view the material requirements planning (MRP)
details of the disassembly order. However, being a disassembly order, there
will not be any entries in the MRP.
Split
This button is enabled only after the disassembly order has
been authorized. This is used to split a production order into multiple orders.
As such, it is not applicable to a disassembly order.
Reject
Click this button to reject the disassembly order.
Note: This button
is unavailable during the creation of a disassembly order. It is available only
after the order has been created.
New
Click this to create a new disassembly order.
Close
Click this to exit.
