Purpose
The purpose of this Quick Reference Guide (QRG) is to provide a step-by-step guide of how to process repair orders in the North Carolina Financial System (NCFS).
Introduction and Overview
This QRG covers the process for processing repair orders in NCFS.
Process Repair Orders
A repair order is created when a customer requires fixing or refurbishing of an item. Repair orders can be created in two ways:
• Referenced Repair Order: Initiate a repair directly from an existing shipped order. Select the relevant line(s) and use the return option. Specify the quantity, return type as “Repair and Ship”, and (optionally) a reason. The system references the original order and updates the order type accordingly. Item prices on the repair item line need to be adjusted manually to $0.00.
• Unreferenced Repair Order: If no original order is available, create a new repair order by entering customer details and adding unreferenced return lines. Specify item, quantity, return type as “Repair and Ship”. Item prices on the Unreferenced Repair Order for the repair item line will be automatically adjusted to $0.00.
When processing a repair order, select the “Repair and Ship”. NCFS has one repair line type option:
- Repair and Ship: Repair items will be received for refurbishing and will be shipped back to the customer once completed
- Once submitted, Order Line status updates to “Awaiting Receiving”
Note: To bill the customer for repair work, add a separate line for the same item or service charge item with price adjustment.
