DMR and Rework

[JasonMcD (Jason McDermott)]

Welcome to the group @MicromaticQuality !

Irrelevant, but I was a SQE for 3 years here before switching to Epicor admin full time.

@MicromaticQuality

how do we capture rework costs for parts that we purchase from a supplier and fix in-house to put on the debit in the DMR

Good question - I’ve been doing this for nine years and only questioned it a couple weeks ago:

Rework job AP Debit memo, or How do we bill back a supplier for us reworking their parts?

Scenario Supplier makes part 12345 for us. Black metal bracket, should have 4 holes in it. They only put 3 holes in it We don’t have time to send it back; they were late on the delivery already So we drill the 4th hole on 50 pieces We do this on a job and track the hours spent (using a higher rate than normal; our “vendor rework rate” meant to envelop the admin costs and disruption of service, etc.) Question Now we want to send a bill to the supplier for the rework. Is there a nifty way to tie…

I’ve seen some threads that say you can add DMR material to a rework job but I don’t understand how that works. Is there a place in the DMR screen that lets you create a rework job for the DMR parts, or is there another screen we’re supposed to use?

AFAIK, it’s manual and tedious.

1. Make DMR
2. Make job for part 123
3. Add material to job; material is also part 123 (1 per)
4. Accept DMR to job material
5. ???

Meaning that step 5 is up to you. You could receive the finished part to stock, or I suppose to the job that started it all. I’ve never tried that, but I could see it.

@MicromaticQuality

Do you have to keep the DMR open until the rework is complete or is it closed once the rework job is created?

Umm… no? Maybe?

Do you have a dev environment to test in?

I believe that dispositioning the DMR (in full) will close the DMR. So step 4 above would do it.

You imply something that has irked me forever, that DMRs close WAYYYYY before the problem is solved. Dispositioning to rework or RTV will close the DMR but the work is not done. We are still waiting on a supplier credit or the rework job to complete. I had to make a dashboard (BAQ) to keep tabs on it all.
