The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

All of that sounds good. One other point. If you receive the 'returned'
item back into stock under a different item number (put an 'R' at the
beginning, for example), you can track its receipt and in stock position.
Then, when you release the MO to rebuild it, use B/M 'no' and add the 'R'
item as the component. That shows the damaged item being issued to the reman
work order. Makes it a little more visible in the overall scheme of things.
MRP is okay because you are not allocating the regular components but you
are showing the expected receipt after its rebuilt, which is good. And, yes,
it should be in the planning warehouse.

None that we've seen. We've used this approach since the S/36 MAPICS II
days in the 80's. Purchasing occasionally gets upset when the reworkers
use what they consider an excess of expensive parts, but I remind them that
it's no different than if production damages and scraps the stuff (which we
all know NEVER happens!!!).
Tracking is good (they put a tag# in REFNO for the IU transactions to show
the repair order also - allows for a LOT of reporting that way), and as I
said, we WANT the parts to show as consumed in MRP. I mean, not much
difference than TW'ing them to a different warehouse, but why have a bunch
of warehouses you don't need? Just a lot of excess ITEMBL records that
way.

Thanks, all.
I have also thought of a character in the second position as well.
So, if I open an MO with no BOM then I could use the production item number
and add the necessary components (which gives me the ability to track
component usage for product performance metrics) and MRP would see the
components and act accordingly.
Hmmm....
Any down-side to this approach?
