Depot Repair interractions question

At our site, we have two business units running one instance of Oracle. One of the units is going to be turning on the Depot Repair module and our business unit is not.
We've been asked to participate in the pre-release testing and I'm not sure we're actually needed but I'm seeking some general information to confirm my suspicion.
Question 1: If we don't use the module in our business unit, is there any way the module could cause changes to either the way other modules we use work or to the underlying data in those modules?
Question 2: If the data in Oracle is segregated by business unit, is there any way that the module when used by the other business unit could drive changes to data in our unit?
I'm not an Oracle person; I've been tasked to do a risk assessment/mitigation for our business unit and an trying to figure out how a module we don't intend to use could muck up anything we do use.
Thank you for any information you can share.
Doug

Failed and replaced component data is captured in a note field along with mode of failure and failure symptom information. This prevents one from validating the data to ensure consistency and integrity. Consequently, it is unlikely one could perform operations required for analysis of this data. For instance: Assume we are repairing an item and the problem is Low Signal Output. Utilizing a dropdown (or pop-up, your preference) box, one can limit the data entered into a field allowing only the approved values. In this case the repair technician would select Low Signal Output. One could then use this information to determine the most frequently observed mode of failure for a given product or range of products. Conversely, allowing entry of this data into a "free-text" field frequently causes a loss of integrity when, for instance, individuals choose to abbrievate. The problem listed above may be entered as Low Out, Low Signal, Low Output, or even Output low. This eliminates the ability to aggregate this data by mode of failure. One could dump the data to Excel. That seems to defeat the purpose of automating the repair process and collecting data using a sophisticated system such as Oracle.
Hope this helps

  • Approval date in Depot repair

    Hi All,
    In the depot repair orders if the approval_flag='N' where can we get the "approval date/rejected_date" and "date sent for approval"

    Lets start with the obvious question, is there anything that's saying having workflow created versioning is a bad thing? If you've got document checking and versioning turned on, you're clearly in an environment where auditing it needed.
    SPD has steps for checking in and checking out.  If you use these, than you can also use the "log item to history" or something similar to log the history.
    Other than that, try using calculated columns to look up both the Approver and the Approver Date.  Return these as single lines of text and they should work fine with Quick Parts.

  • Depot Repair Order Flexibility after SO created

    Hi everyone,
    I have a client who's looking into using the Depot Repair functionality to handle all returns.  What we're finding so far is that everything works well so long as you know what you're going to do with the material before you create the service notification.  We need to be able to receive the material back in before we decide if we're going to repair it, replace it, or just credit the customer.  The Notification type creates and drives the SO processing.  W/in the SO, the item categories seem to be driving the returns subline, the repair subline, and the outboud delivery subline.  I thought perhaps we could change the item cateogories in order to control subsequent processing (ie, before the return is actually processed in VL01n, update the item category on the return to reflect an item category for return for replacement vs return for repair, etc. but the item categories are protected in the SO. 
    Does anybody have a better way of being able to provide the flexibility of determining the type of processing after the Service notification has been created?  If not, does anybody know how to "unprotect" the item category fields so we can update them manually?
    thanks for the assistance,
    Christie

    Hello Christie
    I am not a CS specialist, but my current  role affords me the opportunity to provide some thoughts. Here the repair process has been automated to 2 distinct stages: a) Receipt and b) Inspection and repair,  to  create multiple documents  and even objects ( Equipment if required) from Service, Sales, Logistics, and Inventory Management perspectives.
    1) For one you can divide the service notifications into 2 types: a) Customer facing, and b) Internal (fault) Notification.
    2) When you receive you can have 3 types of dispositions: a) Review receipt, b) Return for Repair and c) Exchange at Receipt. If all information is available, in case of the last  2 dispositions, the following documents are created:
    a) Equipment if serialized
    b) Customer facing notification
    c) repair order
    d Inbound delivery
    e) Material  document for movement into stock
    f)  service order/s
    g) Internal Fault Service notification
    3) The first one, Review receipt is used when there is not enough information to create a Repair order. At that time the documents created are: a) Customer facing notification, b) Equipment u2013 if serialized, c) Goods receipt material document.  A task is added automatically to the notification for administration action and/or follow up with the customer.Once all info is available, the remaining documents are created using the reference of  Customer facing notification.
    4) Thus the repair order created will have requisite sub-lines, e.g. Return, Exchange, Repair etc.
    So I believe you need to follow the business  process as it happens in SAP.
    Hope this helps. Let me know.
    4)
    4) Once information becomes available, all other documents created.

  • Depot Repair

    Does the addition of the depot repair module in addition to the customer service module improve the ability to get detailed reports on repairs. Also if you have a repair depot and you bring in a product where you have to fix more than one component, how does depot repair track this and how will it report this? Are the reports searchable?

  • Error in Depot Repair when creating repair order for SR

    Hi,
    I am getting the following error in Depot repair when creating a repair order for a Service Request :
    "The Service Request Customer (GEJ Service Provider) does not own this item instance (&ITEM_INSTANCE). Please choose another instance. (IB_INSTANCE=21777)"
    An Item Instance was created for customer A (Owner), then party relationship was created in IB with another customer (GEJ Service Provider).
    Now a SR is created with customer as GEJ Service Provider and this item instance is selected.
    The error is coming up when trying to create repair order for this SR.
    Any idea how to resolve this issue?
    Regards,
    Mohammed

    Please refer to this in Metalink note that says Deport Repair 11.5.10 enhancements and search for this ER number.
    ER: 4723163
    Service Request and Repair Order blocks of Depot repair do not allow ability to change Installed Base ownership of an item or creation of TCA relationships between existing TCA parties before creating a service request or repair order.
    Ability to automatically change ownership for an install base tracked item when returned for repair.
    ER 4723163
    Patch 4910836
    Look like you have applied this patch.
    Coming to the issue you cannot achieve what you are trying. The only option is to add this subfunction Depot: Allow Change of IB Ownership to your menu of the resp you are trying to use and the message will be different:
    This allows you change the ownership and create a repair order.
    Unfortunately customer relationship is not going to help at this time. YOu may want to log an SR and see if that is intended in the future. I checked R12.06 but the same behavior is exhibited there as well.
    Good luck!
    Thanks

  • Automatic RMA creation in Depot Repair Orders

    Hi
    We are implementing the Oracle Depot Repair Module in 11.5.10.2.
    The logistics tab is empty and, the RMA is not created automatically for my repair orders. I am using the Repair Type 'Repair and Return' and followed the oracle Metalink note 412088.1. It still doesn't create the RMA.
    Can some one provide the steps in acheiving this thing?
    Also, the sequence numbers for SR number is starting from 1 and incremented by 2. I couldn't see any sequence numbers/profiles set from the applications for this. But, could see some sequence from the back end, CS_Incident_types_s. Is this the one which is getting populated inti the sr number in the Service Requests form?
    In order to start the number from lets say 1000, do I need to change the sequence?
    Thanks
    Radhika

    Go to Logistics General --> Tax on Goods Movement --> India --> Basic Settings --> Maintain Excise Group
    There select the Excise Group for Depot and tick the boxes "Create EI" and "Depot Excise Invoice"
    thanks

  • Absurd keyboard repair issue question

    So I've had issues with the space key not working well on my MacBook Pro for awhile, and I finally took it into the local Apple store to have them look at it. Apparently the sensor's not working and needs to be fixed. Here's the absurd part. $330.00 to replace the entire top part of the computer due to the unibody construction. $330.00 to fix the space key? And a seven day wait for the repair? Seem reasonable?

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    If they are sending it to the Apple Depot for repair, that price is for the Depot to fix anything that needs fixing to get the system as close as possible to it's original condition when new. 7 day turnaround is about what it takes. When I had a logic board replaced in one of our systems, it went to the Depot in Houston, Tx. Ask the store if it's an in store repair or being sent to the Apple Depot. Some things are more expensive if repaired in the store.

  • T420s depot repair taking forever

    I sent my beloved T420s in to the depot, which arrived on 7/21 for a system board replacement (power LED just kept blinking at me when powering on. No POST, nothing). It's still "waiting on parts" and they don't have an ETA. I'm sort of dead in the water at the moment - is there any way to expedite this?
