The Oracle Depot Repair Solution Oracles Depot Repair solution lets service organizations with the ability to manage repair and returns to minimize the negative impact on their customers production. It tracks repair activities from the moment the depot receives an item to when it ships a corresponding item to the customer, either repaired, exchanged, replaced, or loaned, and invoices the customer. It enables repair centers to create and track repair orders, generate return material authorizations (RMAs), assign repair work orders to the appropriate technicians, capture and process the repair activity, ship the repaired/refurbished/new/loaned products, and invoice customers in accordance with contractual provisions for work delivered. Oracle Depot Repair integrates with Oracle Inventory, Oracle Order Management, Oracle Work In Process (WIP), and other Oracle applications to deliver complete views of the customer, products, and service histories to anyone involved in the repair process. As the preceding slide shows, there are several service channels through which you can initiate the use of Oracle Depot Repair, all of which can use the full set of features of Oracle Depot Repair. This course concentrates on the agent-assisted channel, which begins with a call to a service agent, and follows the processing path introduced in the course 11i Service Request Fundamentals.

Service Request to Resolution Overview The slide illustrates a high-level view of the overall Service Request to Resolution flow. Remember that your company may handle some of these tasks in a different order depending on your companys job roles and business processes. In the slide, the Depot Repair channel is highlighted. This course covers the Service Request to Depot Repair path, which leverages functionality from Oracle Depot Repair and is a subset of the Service Request to Resolution flow. The Identify Potential Solution box shows that the service request can be handled by telephone, dispatch, or depot repair. Note: Although it does not appear on the slide, customers can also follow the self-service path, and identify potential solutions using the Web. In the self-service model, which uses Oracle iSupport, customers search a company knowledge base for potential solutions without the assistance of a service agent.

Depot Repair Basics The basic principle underlying all Oracle Depot Repair flows is the concept of replacing faulty goods at a customer site with a useful alternative. The replacement may be a new product, a product loaned to the customer while the faulty goods are being repaired, or the original goods themselves sent back to the customer after they have been repaired at the depot.

Major Depot Repair Flows The repair type is a central concept in Oracle Depot Repair. Repair types categorize the different ways of processing in Oracle Depot Repair which cater for and satisfy the conditions of different sets of real-world requirements, as shown on the slide. The following pages show details of each of the major Oracle Depot Repair processing flows.

WIP and Task Modes
WIP and Task Modes
WIP Mode Series of Sequential steps Material and cost management
Uses Oracle Costing Example:
Repairing test equipment which involves multiple resources, and with many items to repair
Task Mode Minimal steps Sequence not enforced Example:
Swapping a battery
WIP and Task Modes When faulty goods are either sent or delivered to a depot for repair, the actions that occur at the depot may vary considerably due to many factors. For example, there may be a contractual obligation to ship out a replacement part immediately or to send a replacement free of charge. If a product has extensive faults, which require the repair of a number of component parts, possibly at different locations, the actual repair process may have to be split into smaller units, which then have to be managed and coordinated before the product is repaired completely. To manage the different kinds of repair jobs, Oracle Depot Repair has two modes for handling the repair process, WIP (Work in Process) Mode and Task Mode. WIP Mode is recommended for use when the repair jobs require a series of sequential steps and materials management. Task Mode is recommended for use when the repairs require minimal steps, and the sequence of steps is not enforced. WIP Mode leverages the costing of items through Oracle Costing, while Task Mode does not integrate with Oracle Costing. WIP Mode or Task Mode is associated with a repair type during implementation. Note: Though a service organization can have different repair types associated with different repair modes, it is recommended that a service organization select only one repair mode for all repair types to enhance usability.

Basic Repair and Return Flow The basic Repair and Return flow is one of the Depot Repair business flows that acts as a sub-process of the Service Request to Resolution flow. The slide shows a high-level view of the steps in the Repair and Return flow. Notes: 1. Remember that before the first step of each of the Depot Repair flows, either you or the customer must have created a service request. 2. When you create a repair order, you choose a repair type (in this case, Repair and Return). 3. The Oracle Dept Repair repair type always has a repair mode associated with it, either WIP or Task, and this specifies what type of processing is required during the repair phase. 4. Usually you create and approve estimates in advance of actually repairing any defective items, but you may perform these operations any time after the repair order has been created.

Loaner, Repair and Return The processing flow that involves the most real-world and data processing steps is Loaner, Repair and Return. In this situation, the depot sends a loaner product to the customer before the defective product is received at the depot. After the defective product has been repaired and sent back to the customer, the customer then returns the loaner product to the depot.

Sending Goods in Advance In most of the Depot Repair flows, the defective goods that need to be repaired must arrive at the depot before any product can be sent out to the customer. In the flows that involve loaning a product to the customer, you send out the loaner product as the first step. This slide introduces the concept of exchange and advance exchange. If allowed by the contract, this allows the depot to send out an exchange part in advance of receiving the defective goods.

Andre Beaulie from Business World contacts the Vision Help desk regarding a faulty hard
disk. 2. Service agent John Daugherty answers the call and creates a Service Request. 3. John searches the knowledge base for any possible solutions and from the solution list
identifies this as a Depot issue. 4. John creates a Repair Order and assigns it to Depot technician Paul Williams. 5. John requests Andre to return the product and provides him with a RMA number. 6. John verifies the entitlements in the contracts that are applicable to the Repair Order. 7. Paul receives the product into inventory, inspects the damage, and provides an estimate. 8. Andre approves the estimate, and Paul creates a WIP Mode job for the repair and completes
the repair process.

a customer using Task Mode: 1. A customer calls the depot with a product issue. 2. The service agent creates a Service Request. 3. The service agent reviews the contract and notices that customer is eligible for repair. 4. The service agent searches the knowledge base and finds an applicable solution. 5. The service agent creates a repair order with a repair type which uses Task Mode. 6. The service agent authorizes the product return and provides a RMA number. 7. The depot receives the product. 8. The depot uses a pre-defined task template to manage the repair effort. 9. The depot completes the repair and ships the product back to the customer.

Required Applications Setups Notes 1. To use the full functionality of Oracle Depot Repair, you must install all the applications and
application modules shown on the slide. 2. Knowledge Management is only required if you wish to use an Oracle knowledge base to
help you look up solutions to assist in repair resolution. 3. If you want to use WIP Mode processing for any repair order, you must install Oracle Work
in Process and Oracle Bills of Material. These applications are not required for Task Mode processing.
4. If you want to use Task Mode processing for any repair order, you must install the modules Task Manager, Assignment Manager, and Resource Manager within Oracle Common Application Components, and, in addition, Oracle Advanced Scheduler. These applications are not required for WIP Mode processing.
5. It is not recommended that a customer use both WIP and Task mode in a single install. The rest of this chapter describes, in outline form, how these Oracle applications and
application modules are used when you create and process repair orders.

For example, when you create a service request you enter details in the top area, the Service Request Information area. Then when you create a repair order, you enter details in the Service Request Information area and the Details tab. Then, as you process the Repair Order, you basically enter information in the other main tabs, working from left to right. Subsequent slides in this module show in more detail the usage of the screen areas, buttons, and fields as you perform each step of a depot repair, The slides also point out which of the dependent applications are used during the processing of each step. [Note: the header bar of the Depot Repair Workbench displays the title Repair Orders, so the screen is more formally known as the Repair Orders form. To be consistent with terms used in other documentation, this course refers to this screen as the Depot Repair Workbench.]

Full Repair and Return WIP Mode Example This slide shows a typical process flow for managing the repair and return of faulty goods at a depot. Remember that, although in general there are several channels by which a depot repair can be initiated, this course assumes that the starting point for the depot repair process is a call to a service agent. This largely follows the same scenario as introduced earlier in the course; this time, the processing steps are described in greater detail.
1. The service agent first creates a service request, specifying that the service request type is Depot Repair. The agent may then examine the knowledge base to see if any similar problems have been recorded there, and to examine the solutions for possible relevance to the current problem.
2. The service agent then creates a repair order, specifying the repair order type (in this case, Repair and Return). Each repair order type has a repair mode associated with it by default. In this case, the default mode is WIP Mode, and the service agent does not change this mode.
3. The service agent looks up any existing contracts to verify entitlements, such as discounts and warranties, and attaches this information to the repiar order.

Overview of Oracle Depot Repair in the Oracle E-Business Suite Chapter 2 - Page 9
4. When the depot receives a RMA from the customer, the faulty goods can be received into inventory. For items that are tracked in the install base, any person with the correct responsibility can check the status information in the install base for the faulty product.
5. The customer is then given an estimate of how much the repair will cost. Once the customer accepts the estimate, it can be approved and the repair can be started. Note: to cover many different real-world situations, estimates are not mandatory. Also, estimates may be provided any time after the repair order is created.
6. This step is specifically for WIP Mode processing. As a typical example of WIP Mode processing, the faulty product requires a new repair job to be created, a new component to be issued for a repair job, and finally, the repair job must be certified as complete
7. The depot now ships the repaired product. If the product is being tracked in the install base, the newly-changed product status can be seen there.If the product has a counter associated with it, the new counter reading can be recorded.
8. After the product is shipped out to the customer, the depot submit charges, if any, for the repair job.
9. After the charges have been submitted, the service agent closes the repair order. Closing the repair order automatically closes the associated service request.

Repair Order RMA Line Dependencies The Receive/Ship tab is one of the main tabs of the Depot Repair Workbench. When you create a repair order, your choice of Repair Type dictates how many lines are created for charging purposes. Details of this association and the setup of other fields that initially appear in this tab are described in a later module of this course, Depot Repair Specific Setup Steps. The slide shows two charge lines (indicated by the value in the Action Type column), a RMA line and a Ship line. When the RMA line is highlighted, the Receive button at the bottom of the screen is enabled and the Ship button is disabled. If you check the checkbox Automate order processing steps through:, you choose up to which stage in Order Management the charge line will be automatically processed. The buttons at the bottom of the screen enable you to view Oracle Install Base details, and to enter more details for processing the RMA line in Oracle Receiving and Charges, such as specifying that the defective product has been received into inventory.
