Hi all,

I'm not getting much sense out of the mrp_repair module and would like 
to see if anyone else can explain its workings to me? Unfortunately the 
documentation on it is rather sparse.

I'm trying to set up an implementation for a customer of production lot 
traceability on certain components of a Phantom BoM.

The basics are working fine: sale.order->delivery->invoice & purchasing 
etc. all are creating the right moves and can be examined using the 
production lot tracking tools.

Now I am trying to handle and track repairs/replacements of faulty items.

When I create a new repair order and enter the product (a component of 
the BOM above) and the lot number the main fields of the repair order 
are auto-filled in correctly.

It is the Operation lines that are causing me a headache:

1. There doesn't seem to be a way to initially *receive* the faulty 
goods back into OpenERP. It doesn't create a incoming shipment order, 
even if I create an Operation with Source Location: Customer, 
Destination Location: Production.

2. Intermediate Stock moves (scrapping and getting a new product from 
stock) listed in the Production Lot have no Reference, Origin or Partner 
field contents, so are unhelpful to say the least.

3. When the Repair Order creates the final move for a replacement item 
(stock->customer) the Delivery Order is created but the stock locations 
are both set as Source: Stock, Destination: Stock. Also the Lot number 
is not being set correctly... In the Repair Order, the new item I am 
replacing the faulty product with is coming from a different Production 
Lot (I have set it using the form view of the Operation Line) but on the 
Delivery Order, the original lot number is being used.

Am I being stupid and misunderstanding the module's function or is it 
broken?

This is using OpenERP 6.0.4.

TIA

Al
