Issuing an Exchange Order

After creating an Exchange Order, the user can issue the unserviceable P/N to the specified Vendor. This can be done through the Inventory Transaction window of the Inventory module.

Note: The Process Sequence of Receiving and Issuing an E/X is dependent on the user's company procedures or situation of requiring a serviceable P/N. For example, in an emergency, like AOG, a P/N of an E/X may need to be received before an unserviceable P/N is issued in exchange. However, per a company's policy, a P/N of an E/X may be required to be issued to a Vendor before a serviceable P/N can be received.

The following is the basic life cycle of an Exchange Order, particularly the issuing part of the process:

Once an Exchange Order goes through this basic life cycle, it is either necessary to move on to Receiving the Exchange Order or the Exchange Order Process is complete.
