Disassemble Manufacturing Order

The disassemble manufacturing order allows you to break down a manufactured item into its individual components. This depletes the manufactured item and puts the raw materials back into the inventory, in contrast to the manufacturing order, where raw materials are consumed or picked from the inventory to create a manufactured item.

You can create a disassemble manufacturing order by selecting ‘Disassemble' under the Manufacturing Order Type.

Select MO Type ‘Disassemble’, then add the Item Number, Store, Disassemble Qty, and other necessary header details.

Navigate to the MO Lines section. The ‘To Pick’ and ‘Instruction’ columns, which are visible for a standard manufacturing order, will not be displayed. Instead, the ‘To Produce’ column is shown at the line level to indicate the quantity to be disassembled.

Follow the standard process of creating a Wave and completing Picking, then move the Manufacturing Order to the ‘Work In Progress’ stage.

In this stage, the MO Lines section displays the ‘BOM To Be Disassembled’ section. This section includes details such as Item Number, Qty Consumed, UOM, Disassemble Date, and Destination Location.

Once the required details are reviewed or updated (if applicable), you can proceed by clicking the ‘Disassemble’ button available at the bottom of the section.

Click on this option to disassemble the item. The status of the order will be updated to ‘Disassembled,’ and the raw materials will be added back into the Inventory.

Please note that if the app configuration “Auto-Select Default Item Location for Item Receiving and MO Production/Disassembly” is enabled with the Produce/Disassemble MO option selected, the system will automatically move produced or disassembled items into their configured Default Location during MO Production and MO Disassembly.
