Example scenario
This section contains an example scenario illustrating registration of a chain of documents for the Disassembly process.
The scenario describes a case of disassembling 100 desktop PCs into separate components.
For convenience, the scenario is broken down into steps matching the process description.
Scenario overview
Your company has a batch of 100 desktop PCs in stock and intends to use their components for a variety of purposes.
To do this, you need to disassemble the PCs into components.
1. Issuing a production order
First, let's make sure that the products we are going to disassemble are actually in stock. To do this, use the Available stock report:
As you can see, the PCs are in stock and available for disassembly. You can issue the production order.
Disassembly transactions never can arise from any preceding documents, so the only way to issue a production order for disassembly is to create it manually. To do this, go to Production and click Production orders; then, click Create.
The production order is almost empty. You need to provide all information manually:
- Set Lifecycle status to In progress.
- Set Process type to Disassembly.
- Specify Start date and Due date.
- Specify Product to disassemble, and its quantity.
- Select Bill of materials for the product.
- Fill the Components list based on the information contained in the bill of materials.
Before posting, review other fields and change them if necessary.
2. Disassembling product into components
Now you can proceed to disassemble the desktop PCs into components.
To register the actual disassembly, generate a production document from the production order.
The generated production document has its fields prefilled with the production order data:
Review the document fields, such as destination warehouse, and change them if necessary.
After posting the production document, you can check the Available stock report again. Now it shows that all product units have been disassembled into components and the warehouse stock has changed accordingly:
3. Closing order
The production order is fulfilled now. There will be no more transactions related to it. To reflect this fact, open the production order and click Close order.
