Hi Hully,

For the scenario mentioned by you, the solution would be 

The application behavior does not allow you to create a Manufacturing/Repair structure type for 'Purchased Raw' parts because the part is created focusing on recipe based manufacturing processes.

And since the purchased parts are commonly associated with Discrete manufacturing, the application allows creation of Manufacturing/Repair structure types for 'Purchased Parts'.

And even if you change the part type from 'Purchased Raw' to 'Purchased' it doesn't affect the Purchasing or Finance aspect of the business.

So solution could be as simple as switching inventory part to Purchased and proceeding with a regular repair shop order.

I’ll definitely try this !!!

Thanks

You can change the Part Type from Purchased (raw) to Purchased and doing this will automatically create a Purchased Product Structure header record and then you can duplicate the Purchased Structure to create the Repair Structure and then make it Buildable.  When you create the Repair SO, you can add additional materials as needed under the Materials tab of the SO and add Operations under the Operations tab of the SO that shows the work to be done and then you can report time against the operations to capture the cost of the repair.
