A 'EXP/TO/ROT' takes place when a P/N Category is changed from Expendable (EXP) to Rotable (ROT).

For example, notice the Category field for a P/N via Settings/Update/P/N Master window. This is set when creating a P/N in TRAX.

To change the Category of a P/N, select the P/N Category Change button from the P/N Interchangeability drop down button. From the P/N Category Change window, enter the new category into the To Category field by typing the category code or by right-clicking over the field to select from a list of options.

Note: Users will not be allowed to change the category for specific P/Ns if any of the following scenarios occur: P/N Controls exist against the P/N, a P/N Position exists against the P/N, an un-invoiced order exists against the P/N, there are open orders against the P/N,there the P/N has Batch numbers that are tagged as 'Pending Technical Records'. For more information, refer to the topic on the P/N Category Change Button.

Enter a Serial Number for the affected parts then select the Save button.

Notice the Category field in the P/N Master reads 'ROT'.

Note: When G/L Interface Switch COMPANYMULTI is set to 'Yes', parts owned by a parent company and entered into inventory through a subsidized company will be reflected in the G/L when the category is changed from expendable to rotable. For more information regarding the multi-company functionality, refer to Switch COMPANYMULTI via the G/L Interface Switches Manual.

From the Journal Entry Detail Query window users can see the adjustments against the G/L.

Notice the Category Code in the Order tab reads 'EXP/TO/ROT'.

Note: The above screenshot has been altered to highlight the relevant columns for this example.
