Remanufactured Parts

This chapter contains all important information on creating and processing reman parts in TRASER DMS 365. Reman parts are remanufactured parts and components for which a deposit is included in sales documents. When the old part is returned, the customer will receive a credit memo for this deposit. This chapter is divided into the following sections:

Creating Reman Parts as Items

You can create reman parts as items in TRASER DMS 365 by creating an item card for the physical item (core part) and a linked item card for the deposit value (deposit part). For easier identification., the deposit part is also marked with a suffix. To create a reman part as an item, please proceed as follows:

Note

To create deposit parts, you must first specify an item suffix that is added to the Vendor Item Number and identifies the corresponding (catalog) items as deposit parts. To do so, enter the desired suffix in the Deposit Part Suffix field on the Inventory Setup page, e.g., -R.

  • Use the quick search (ALT+Q) to find the Items page.
  • Click on New in the menu bar.
  • Either select the item template you want to use or click Cancel to create an item without using a template.
    • If you clicked Cancel, confirm the dialog with Yes.
  • Select the Core option in the Core/Deposit Part field in the Item FastTab.
  • Enter the desired amount, which will later be shown as a deposit in sales documents, in the REMAN Value field in the Prices & Sales FastTab. Alternatively, you can also import a REMAN Value directly when importing a catalog or price file. This means that the value is always automatically transferred to the item card when an item is created from a catalog item. For more information on catalog imports, please read the Catalog Import chapter.
  • Fill in the remaining fields on the item card according to the information in the Creating Items section.
  • To create the corresponding deposit part, click on Actions > Create Deposit Item in the menu bar of the item card.
  • Confirm the dialog with Yes.

You have successfully created a reman part as an item. You can now open core parts via the Items page and linked deposit parts via the Additional Items page. The next sections explains how to set up the processing of reman parts for manufacturers.
