Why does the system allow issuing a quantity greater than what is defined in the Repair Action (Add)? Shouldn’t this be restricted to avoid mismatches between the consumed quantity for the repair and the as-built structure revision generated at MLRSO receipt?

 

Environment – IFS Cloud 24.1

  1. Create and release an MLRSO for a serial-tracked repair part.
  2. In Shop Order → Materials, issue the component part representing the repair part.
  3. Go to Shop Order Multilevel Repair Structure, select the repair part node, and add a repair action:
  4. Define a serial-tracked part (Quantity = 1), select a repair reason, and confirm.
  5. Return to Shop Order → Materials, then:
  6. Reserve Quantity = 2 of the component part using Manual Reservation.
  7. Issue both reserved serials using Manual Issue.
  8. From the shop order header, perform Manual Receive:
  9. Enable Auto Report Operations, create a record in Serial Inventory Receipt, and complete the MLRSO receipt.
  10. In As-Built Structure, search for the repair part and the received serial.
  11. Verify that only one of the issued serials appears in the structure.

Hi,

It is possible to reserve more material than the qty. assembly (usually to compensate for the cases like scrap), but those reserved/ issued in excess will not be automatically added to the as built structure,

So Accordingly,  the system is working as expected.
