1.5. Rework Quote Tab

Rework Quote tab Field Definitions - The Rework Quote tab details any Rework Costs due to reworking the existing quantity in Work In Process and/or Finished Goods Inventory.

Open Work Order List (As of ECO Open Date) window: Note: The value of the "as of" is that it can affect the quote pricing and allows customers to better get that information.

Change	A check in this column indicates that the Work Order will be revised to the newly changed product number/revision (if applicable). If Work Order is shaded in WHITE - that means that this Work Order has no qty in FGI so the system will automatically update the Work Order to the New Revision. If a kit is in process for the Work Order selected user MUST depress the "Update Kit" button within the kitting module after the ECO is approved for any part changes to be reflected. NOTE: When the ECO takes place and the WO record is updated SFT losses the transfer history for the old revision and starts over with only xfer history for the new revision from that point on. See Article #3401 for further detail. If Work Order is shaded in BLUE - this means that this Work Order is partially completed and will be split into two Work Orders: The system will change the original Work Order (original product number and revision) build qty to match the qty completed and close this Work Order. The KIT for that work order will retain only enough material to build the completed quantities. The system will then create a new work order for new product number/revision for the balance quantity. All the extra material issued to the original work order will be de-kitted from original Work Order and issued to the new Work Order. If Work Order is shaded in PINK - These Work Orders are partially completed and some of the issued components are either serialized or lot code traceability activated. These specific components have to be de-kitted manually prior to proceeding. Or the original Work Order, has to be closed (balance reduced to completed quantities) and extra material de-kitted manually. Then, the new Work Order has to be created for the balance quantities.
