Steps to configure unbuild orders in Viindoo¶

Unbuild means to separate and take out components of a product. In any enterprise, we may have to dismantle products in many various circumstances:

Businesses purchase materials to dismantle them into various components for usage or retail purposes.
In the manufacturing process, businesses want to dismantle the finished products into separated components due to not meet up quality standards, etc.

In this article, Viindoo will provide some instructions about how to unbuild a product into small components.

Create manual unbuild orders¶

In the Manufacturing application, users can manually create unbuild orders by navigating to Manufacturing > Operations > Unbuild Orders, and choosing Create to create a new unbuild order.

Then, add the following information:

Product: select the product that you want to unbuild;
Bill of Material: the to-be-dismantled product must have a Bill of Material for the identification of the components after the unbuild process;
Quantity: the number of units to unbuild;
Manufacturing Order: choose the manufacturing order for the unbuilt product (leave empty if this is a purchased product);
Source Location: the location where the unbuilt product is stored;
Destination Location: the storage location of components dismantled from the original product.

Then, press Save and Unbuild.

Create Unbuild Orders from Manufacturing Orders¶

In Manufacturing Orders, the responsible person can make a unbuild order for the semi-finished and finished products which are not up to the quality standard.

Navigate to Manufacturing > Operations > Manufacturing Orders, choose Manufacturing Orders where there is the product that needs to be dismantled.

Select the manufacturing order for the unbuilt product

On the Manufacturing Order form, click Unbuild.

Users will be redirected to a new form that allows them to fill in the information about the products generated from this manufacturing order that need to be dismantled.
