          Article summary

          Rework is the process of correcting defective, failed, or nonconforming items after inspection. It may sometimes be necessary to return parts to a previous Process Node to be reworked.

          Creating a new Work Order for rework is a best practice

          If you tranfer parts in a work order to a previous process node, the "rework" transfer does not follow the parts through the remainder of the process.

          To accurately track rework time, inventory, and labor costs, it is best to create a new work order specifically for the steps that need to be reworked.

          Sending Parts for Rework

          1. Go to the Received Order (RO) that includes the parts to be reworked.
          2. Scroll down in the RO screen and find the work order (WO) that includes the parts to be reworked.
          If you don't see the parts...

          If parts to be reworked have already been marked as "completed," you may need to first Uncomplete the Work Order that the parts are on.

          1. Click the "Add Work Order" button.

            1. Give the new work order a descriptive name. We suggest one that identifies it as rework.
            2. For example, if a WO is "#651," a rework order for parts on that WO might be named "#651-rework."
            3. Choose the correct process for the new work order. In most cases, this will be the same process as the original work order or a dedicated rework process.

          2. Navigate to the work order that contains the parts to be reworked.

          Make sure reworked parts are unracked!

          If the parts are racked, they will need to be unracked before they can be sent for rework.

          1. Click the "Move Multiple Parts" button.
          2. Select "REWORK" as the transfer type.
          3. Choose the node to send the parts back to.
          4. Identify the previous transfer that caused the rework.
            1. For example, if the parts need to be repainted, choose the transfer that moved the parts away from the station where the painting took place.
          5. Choose the correct rework category. To evaluate in a later rework, select "Quarantine".
          6. Add any additional comments and click "Submit."
          7. The parts should be moved back to the station chosen and can now proceed through the process again.

          Completing Rework

          Once rework is complete, return the reworked parts to their original work order.

          1. Open the "Move Multiple Parts" dialog.
          2. Choose "Rework_Done" as the transfer type.
          3. Select the original work order. Click "Submit" to return the parts and complete the rework work order.
