Walkthrough - Process an In-House Repair
This walkthrough shows a typical In‑House Repair process in COSMO Discrete Manufacturing – from return registration to final shipment – and includes the optional Repair Quotation (quote → approval → order) path. It covers cases with and without a predefined Service BOM.
This step-by-step process ensures full traceability, clean separation between service and production, and audit-ready documentation – from customer return to cost valuation.
Quick Decision Map
Follow the steps in this walkthrough based on these two paths:
Path A – Start with a Repair Quotation and follow steps A1–A10 if:
- You must present a costed offer before touching the item.
- The repair scope is estimated from history, photos, or preliminary diagnostics.
- Internal policy requires signed approval (warranty exclusions, out‑of‑scope damage).
- You want to lock pricing before production resources are reserved.
Path B – Skip the Repair Quotation and start with steps A7–A10 if:
- The repair is contractually covered (warranty/service level).
- Pricing is standardized or not customer‑specific.
- Turnaround speed is more important than formal approval.
