Dismantling of finished assembly.

Hi All,

We have scenario that we build one assembly ( Say A ) which is made of 2-3 different Sub- assemblies (  Say  B , C ,D each Sr controlled) + Several raw materials ( Both  Lot + Sr Controlled mixed). 

1) Sub-assemblies B, C, D are produced and used to Build Parent Assembly A. ( Job Receipt to Job )

2) Job for Parent Assembly A has now completed and closed.

Now, we have to Dismantle complete Parent Assembly A and put all the Parts and Sub-assemblies back into inventory. (Of course, only which are re-usable)

Does anyone knows which is the best way to achieve this in EPICOR (10.2.200.24)?

I do not want to do simple cost /qty adjustment as we need full traceability for all the parts.

I have searched several topics but could not found any useful process.

 

Thanks,

V

Our Company purchases one Material and chooses one Part as the Parent, then assigns Factors as points (percentages that add up to 100 in our case) to allocate the Cost via Co-Parts on Material, Labor, etc.  The Parent has to be assigned a point percentage in the Co-Part Factors tab / grid as well.  The Job Header must be checked Concurrent instead of Sequential for Cost to simultaneously post, Job Construction, and Material Fulfillment flow.  We use Co-Part, instead of Salvage, when there is more than one Part per Material, since Salvage will only apply to one Part per Material.  We also have set our percentages (Factors) for each component we are harvesting in a MOM to be repeatable.

The Job Receipt to Inventory window will have all of the Co-Parts in a drop down list, instead of a separate window for Job Receipt to Salvage.

Hi

We are struggling with this every day and would like to have a good way, like in other ERP systems, which is Disassemble Job. Unfortunately Epicor support confirmed that there is no such thing exists (for whatever reason) in the Epicor Erp and is not expected to be there for foreseeing future. What we do first is for SN tracked parts change SN status from CONSUMED to ADJUSTED using SN Entry form. After that we use Quantity Adjustment entry to get parts back into inventory. 

If anyone knows a better solution, that would be great!

We handle this via a scrap transaction first, to remove the FG from inventory.   This automatically identifies the FG Serial tracked item as Scrapped in S/N maintenance, so the S/N cannot be reused.

Some items go back through our Inspection process to verify they can be reused, which creates the INS-STK transaction, with appropriate Lot # and S/N for the components when they pass inspection.  if they do not pass inspection, they are handled by our Non-Conformance and/or our Defect processes.

Other items do not need to go through the Inspection process and are simply put back into inventory via a Qty-Adj transaction, again with the appropriate Lot # and S/N.  In the Comment section of the Qty-Adj screen, we indicate the background of where/why we are performing the adjustment to inventory.

Not the cleanest process, but it works for us.

“Some items go back through our Inspection process to verify they can be reused,” How exactly you put already CONSUMED items into the “inspection process”?
