To set up rebuild items:Rebuildable Item Setup tasks include:
Items that are installed, removed, and refurbished are referred to as rebuildable items. Examples of rebuildable items include motors, control boxes, and computer boards. Rebuildable items might need to be removed or refurbished while a parent asset is maintained. Rebuildable items are inventory items; you have the option to serialize them.
To set up rebuild items:Navigate to the Rebuild Items window.
Enter the name of the Rebuild Item.
Enter a Description for this Rebuild Item, up to 240 characters.
Select the @Rebuildable Template to quickly apply attribute values, and to ensure that the appropriate attributes are applied.
Note: You can create rebuildable items using the template described above, or you can copy a Rebuild Item from an existing Rebuild Item (See: Defining Items).
In the Serial Generation region, select Predefined for the Generation value.
Define a Starting Prefix and Starting Number for this Rebuild Item. If Serial Generation is set at Item Level for the Organization, the system defaults the prefix, along with the starting number sequence, when a new Serialized Rebuild is created for this Rebuild Item.
Save your work.
To access failure analysis information:You can access the Failure Set page to view failure tracking codes that are assigned to the current Rebuild Item.
From the Rebuild Items window, select Maintain Failure Set from the Tools menu. If the Rebuild Item does not have an associated Failure Set, this menu option is disabled. See: Defining Failure Codes and Sets and Failure Analysis Overview.
Close the window.
To associate rebuildable items to multiple organizations:From the Rebuild Items window, select Item Details from the Tools menu.
Select the Organization Assignment tab.
Enter additional organizations in the available table.
After saving your work, you can associate this Rebuildable Item with an Activity (See: Rebuildable Item/Activity Association).
To set up rebuildable serial numbers individually:Navigate to the Define Rebuildable Serial Number page.
You can also create rebuildable assets using the Create Asset page located in the Maintenance Super User responsibility (Maintenance Super User > Home > Assets > Create button). See Creating Capital or Rebuildable Assets for more information.
Enter an Asset Number (Rebuildable Serial Number) if you do not have them automatically generated.
Accept or modify the default asset number, if you have automatic generation enabled (See: Defining eAM Parameters).
Select an Asset Group. This is the Asset Group (Rebuildable Item) you are associating with the Rebuildable Serial Number you are currently creating.
Note: After an Asset Group (Rebuildable Item) is associated with a Rebuildable Serial Number and then saved, you cannot change it.
The Asset Serial Number (Rebuildable Serial Number) defaults to the asset number. You can optionally select the next serial number for the current organization.
The Asset Serial Number might have a non-unique value across organizations, but the asset number must be globally unique, regardless of the defaulting value.
Optionally associate this Rebuildable Serial Number to an Asset Category. This is the Class and Subclass code, such as CRANE.OVERHEAD or BUILDING.FLOOR. See: Setting Up Category Codes and Sets.
Optionally enter a description for the Rebuildable Serial Number of up to 240 characters.
Within the Main tab, optionally select an owning Department for this Rebuildable Serial Number. This represents the crew responsible for the Rebuildable Serial Number. Notifications, regarding work requests, are sent to the Primary Approver of the work request's associated asset number's current owning department (See: Defining Department Approvers and Defining Asset Numbers).
Optionally select a Criticality code to indicate the importance of the asset number to the organization. This field is for information purposes.
Optionally select a WIP Accounting Class to identify the Expense cost elements associated with the work performed, such as materials, labor, and resources.
Select the Linear Assets check box if you want to define the asset as a linear asset.
This field can be updated on this page or the Define Asset Numbers page.
See Defining Linear Asset Numbers for more information.
Optionally enter the Area where this asset number resides. This is a user defined listing of logical areas of work. For example, North Plant, East Wing, or Area 1 (See: Setting Up Areas).
Indicate whether this asset is maintainable. If the Maintainable check box is selected, you can create work requests and work orders for this asset.
For example, you can create an asset for cost-tracking purposes. We may want to see the cost for all top level assets in an asset hierarchy, but we do not want to maintain those assets. In this situation, do not select this check box.
Note: After work orders are created for this asset, you cannot clear this check box unless those work orders are at Complete, Canceled or Closed statuses.
Select an Asset Status. This field represents the current status associated with the rebuildable asset.
Optionally select the Active check box to indicate that the asset is functioning, for example, maintenance Work Orders can be created for this asset. This check box change when you activate or deactivate an asset from the Tools menu.
Indicate whether Asset Operational Logging is enabled for this asset. If you select the Operation Log Enabled check box, you can view all current and past asset operational information, such as Check Out, Check In, associated Work Requests and Work Orders. You can remove or add a child asset, remove a parent asset, activate or deactivate the asset, transfer the asset to another location, and receive or issue the asset into/from Inventory. By default, logging is turned off for an asset. See: Asset Operational Logging.
You can optionally associate the current Rebuildable Serial Number with a parent capital asset or parent rebuildable.
Select an Asset Type. Valid values are Capital and Rebuildable Inventory.
If you selected a Capital Asset Type, optionally select a parent asset number. If you previously selected a Rebuildable Inventory Asset Type, optionally select a Rebuildable Serial Number from the asset number list of values.
If you selected a Capital Asset Type, optionally select a parent Asset Group. If you previously selected a Rebuildable Inventory Asset Type, optionally select a Rebuildable Item from the Asset Group list of values.
The Checked Out check box indicates whether the current asset is checked in or out. You can check out an asset to view asset details, enter collection plan data, enter meter information, and optionally create a Work Request, within Maintenance Super User. This check box is protected against update. See: Asset Operational Logging.
Within the Location tab, the Subinventory and Locator fields are view-only, displaying the subinventory location of this asset within Inventory and its Locator segments. If this asset if received into Inventory, these fields are populated.
Optionally select a Location Code to specify a physical location for this asset. The Address field simultaneously populates with the selected Location Code's associated Address. The previously defined Area is organization-specific and not associated to a physical location.
Valid Location Codes are defined within Oracle Installed Base.
Use the Location tab to specify the geocode information with details of latitude, longitude and direction for the asset. This information is used to display the assets in the chosen map viewer.
If you are using the ESRI feature, you can enter values in these fields to display assets on an ESRI map rather than entering values in the Latitude and Longitude fields:
ESRI Feature: The reference to a published Feature table from the ESRI System which has a Point shape. These values are defined on the ESRI Map Manager page.
ESRI Feature ID: The specific ESRI reference identifier from the selected ESRI Feature table which has a corresponding Point geometry.
If both longitude and latitude and ESRI references are provided, the ESRI Feature and Feature ID would be used to plot the asset on the map.
Note: Geocode entry and ESRI Feature associations are enabled only for point assets and are not applicable for linear assets.
See Using Map Manager for more information regarding the ESRI Map Manager fields.
The Address defaults as the populated Location Code's associated address. You can optionally select a different address. If the current asset is in stores, the address of the Location's organization appears (See: Stores).
Optionally select a Production Organization. The list of values displays the production inventory organizations maintained by the current asset's organization. See: Enabling Organizations for Enterprise Asset Management for information on designating eAM organizations to maintain equipment items for designated production organizations.
Select an Equipment Item. This is mandatory if you populated the Production Organization field. Items that were defined with an equipment template (See: Item Templates ), or with the Equipment item attribute enabled (See: Physical Attributes ), are available.
Enter an Equipment Serial Number. This is mandatory if you populated the Production Organization field. This is the specific name of the component within the Equipment Type, defined above.
Select the Safety tab to enter safety information. See Defining Positional Assets.
Select the Others tab to optionally enter the Fixed Asset region information, if Oracle Fixed Assets is installed. This is Enterprise Asset Management's integration with Fixed Assets. Enter a Category, which is a grouping of fixed assets, defined within Oracle Fixed Assets. This category is tied to a set of books, and must be the same set of books that is assigned to the current Enterprise Asset Management organization. See: Setting Up Asset Categories.
Optionally enter the Number if Oracle Fixed Assets is installed. This represents a fixed asset number that belongs to a fixed asset category, associated with the asset.
The Property Management fields, Location Name and Location Code, default from a Property Manager export process (Export Locations to Enterprise Asset Management), if Oracle Property Management is installed. These fields are disabled, and the values cannot be changed.
Before the above information is passed from Property Manager into Oracle Enterprise Asset Management, asset groups (rebuildable items) need to first be established. See: Defining Rebuildable Items.
Optionally choose Location Details to view or update the Property Manager field information.
Optionally select Attributes to enter attribute values for the asset .
Existing, enabled attribute groups appear. These attribute groups are optional. You do not need to enter values for all existing attribute groups. From this window, you cannot generate attribute groups. (See: Setting Up Attributes).
When you select the Linear Asset check box, the Linear Workbench button becomes available.
Use the Linear Asset Workbench to enter details for the linear asset. See Using the Linear Asset Workbench for more information.
Optionally choose Meters to associate the current rebuildable serial number to one or more meters.
Optionally choose Associate Activity to associate the current rebuildable serial number to an activity.
Additional Information: To establish this Rebuildable Serial Number in Inventory, you must execute any receipt transaction, such as a Miscellaneous Receipt or a Purchase Order Receipt.
Save your work.
After you have defined rebuildable items and activities, you can associate activities to the rebuildable items. For example, you may have a Rebuild Engine Activity, and an Engine Rebuildable Item. After you create a rebuild work order for the engine, the associated Rebuild Engine Activity attaches its associated maintenance BOM (material) and maintenance routing (resources) to the work order.
Note: Activity association for Rebuildable Serial Numbers are streamlined by using Activity Association Templates. If an Activity Template is defined for a Rebuildable Item, the activity association automatically creates when a new serial number is created for that item, within the maintenance organization.
To associate rebuildable items with activities:Navigate to the Activity Association window.
Select an Activity.
Within the Main tab, select Rebuildable from the Item Type list of values.
Select a Rebuildable Item from the Asset Group list of values.
If the Rebuildable Item is serial number controlled (See: Defining Rebuildable Items), select a Rebuildable Serial Number from the Asset Number list of values.
Optionally select a Priority Code.
This field is for informational purposes.
Optionally enter Effective Dates.
If the Effective From field is left blank, the system date defaults. If the Effective To field is left blank, it defaults as NULL.
Within the Activity tab, the Activity Cause defaults from the Activity definition, specifying what situation caused this work to be generated.
For example, Breakdown, Vandalism, Normal Wear, or Settings. Optionally you can select an Activity Cause.
The Activity Type defaults from the Activity definition (See: Defining Activities).
This code indicates the type of maintenance activity needed to perform for this Activity. It is used when defining a job or a standard job. It should remain generic, and should not describe the job in detail. For example, Inspection, Overhaul, Lubrication, Repair, Servicing or Cleaning. Optionally select an Activity Type.
Optionally select the Tagging Required check box to indicate whether tag out procedures are required.
The Owning Department field is used when associating asset numbers to activities (See: Activity Association Templates).
Save your work.
You can identify and select the required items that make up a Rebuildable Serial Number. A bill of material (BOM) is used to list all items and components that make up a particular asset or rebuildable, and is defined for each Rebuildable Item. The items defined on a Rebuildable BOM are standard inventory components or non-inventory, direct items (See: Defining Items).
Note: If you are not using Project Manufacturing applications, Project Parameters are defined for your eAM enabled organization to successfully create Rebuildable Items. This is required because a Rebuildable BOM is of type Model/Unit Effective and this BOM type is currently allowed if PJM organization parameters are set up for the eAM enabled organization to which the Rebuildable Item has been assigned. To define Project Parameters, open the Project Parameters window using Project Manufacturing Super User responsibility and without entering any data in the window, save the record. If you plan to use Project Manufacturing, see: Project Manufacturing Integration Setup for information on defining Project Parameters.
To set up a rebuildable BOM:Navigate to the Bills of Material window.
Select a Rebuildable Item from the Item list of values.
Within the Main tab, the Item Sequence and Operation Sequence values default.
Enter the inventory or non-inventory Component to make up the Rebuildable Serial Number.
Enter the component Quantity for the Rebuildable Serial Number.
Save your work.
