RE: Reporting Rework

Tom - 

Items that come back from customers should be treated as follows (different
from regular in-house rework):

Receive the item into stock through a return (order entry) or miscellaneous
receipt. You might want to use a special location so it doesn't get mixed
in with "good" product. Issue a manufacturing order for the item with B/M
"no" and list the item itself as the required component. Issue the item to
the MO. Add whatever operations you need and unplanned issue the materials
needed.

By putting the item on the MO as a component to itself, inventory and
planning will see that it will be available at the completion of the MO but
is not available in its un-reworked state.

Thanks Joan,
How do you handle rework for parts AFTER the originating MO is closed? 
For example if parts come back from a customer (ouch!)needing some 
rework done.
Thanks,
Tom
