Refurbishment Process The refurbishment of equipment is seamlessly integrated with the maintenance cycle. Technical assets (serialized equipment) are linked to the material master and can be managed in condition-based stocks. Any refurbishment activity performed influences the overall stock value of the material (equipment). The refurbishment process includes maintenance planners, maintenance technicians and storage men to form a team in the maintenance of equipment. After a maintenance technician has determined and replaced a faulty equipment, the maintenance planner posts the defective item to stock. He can specify the decrease in value by setting a specific valuation type for the item. After several defective items have been posted, the maintenance planner creates and releases a refurbishment order for the given items. These will be withdrawn from stock and refurbished by the maintenance technician. After finishing the repairs, the technician can make the confirmations for the order. Subsequently, the maintenance planner completes the order by posting a goods receipt to stock using a higher valuation type. The stock value changes dynamically according to the condition of the items, with the price of a refurbished item covering all internal and external material and labor costs spent on refurbishing.
