Rework jobs can have all accumulated costs brought together on the original works order to provide a more realistic cost summary.
Simple Mid-Job Rework
If during a production run an operation has failed during a routine inspection, additional rework operations can be added before the component is set for delivery.
Highlight the line below where the rework operation is to be placed. Right click on this line to open the additional menu option and select Insert Rework Op.
Once applied the operation will be renumbered with a Rework icon
Adjustments to the works order will appear on the Job Card.
Any additional reworks will have an impact on the actual cost of the job, the costs will be displayed in the Planned column within the Cost Summary tab.
The rework amount is greyed out to indicate it is not included in the total or planned cost, because reworks are not planned.
On completion of the rework operation the labour cost will appear in the actual op cost column. This will have an effect on the profit on the job.
Rework Order
Rework Order is created to link to an original works order where reworks have occurred, enabling the accumulation of cost to the original work order.
Open the original works order, select Rework/Rebuild/Replace from Actions button, select Create Rework WO from the secondary list.
The Create Rework window will open where further options are available. Rework is automatically ticked; tick Rebuild if that is required or tick Replace from stock if stock is available number in brackets.
If all operations/materials/parts/subcon is to be copied tick the Copy WO items.
Insert the rework quantity – select OK to confirm.
The original works order number will form part of the new Order Number including RW to indicate this is the rework works order. Rework will replace the normal Acknowledgement button.
Ticking the Copy WO items, will populate Operations/Materials/Parts/Subcon with the same detail supported by the RW rework icon
Operations
Materials
Parts
Subcon
The rework works order will also convert the first tab to Rework Order to save any confusion as to which one is which.
Within the Delivery Batches subtab the original rework order number is in the Reworking W/O field.
Cost Summary Tab
Additional costs for the rework will appear in the Rework/Rebuild column
Rebuild
On completion of inspection where the job has failed or the job has been returned by the customer, the original job can be linked to a Rebuild works order.
Open the original works order, select Actions – Rework/Rebuild/Replace – Create Rebuild WO.
The original works order will be copied removing all sourcing and have a suffix of RB after the works order number.
If a job was to have multiple rebuilds, each works order will have a unique identifier e.g. J00705, J00705RB, J00705RB2, J00705RB3 etc.
Select the batch the rebuild is to be created against. At the bottom of the window there is a tick box to indicate if the rebuild is to be Free of Charge.
Delivering a Rebuild Job
When delivering a rebuild job the delivery batch must come from the rebuild job.
Because the original job was delivered and returned for rebuild, the original job delivery batch will be at a status of Scrapped.
The rebuild job will have a delivery batch linked to the original job, in readiness for delivering the corrected batch.
Replace from Stock
If stocks of common components are available, select the Replace from Stock option within the Rework mini menu. The number of components in stock will be indicated within the brackets.
