Select Bill of Materials Main menu > Disassembly Entry.

Use Disassembly Entry to relieve a parent item from inventory and return all of its component items to inventory. Disassembly Entry can be used in three separate situations: disassembly of a manufactured item to return its component items to stock, disassembly of a purchased item to salvage its component parts, and reversal of previously posted production entries.

Disassembly entries that have been entered but not yet updated to the permanent files can be maintained whenever necessary. You cannot modify the original bill number, revision code, option code, quantity, or effective date when maintaining a previous entry. To modify any of this information, you must delete the entire entry and enter the new information.

When you use Disassembly Entry to record the disassembly of bills for manufactured or purchased items, any miscellaneous charges associated with the parent item are not automatically included because they represent costs associated with the assembly process, not the disassembly process. Miscellaneous charges, for example, labor and overhead, are recoverable but can be added manually. When production entries are reversed; however, miscellaneous charges are included automatically.

When a parent item is relieved from inventory, it is valued at its actual cost. If this amount differs from the accumulated costs of all components, the difference must be posted to the adjustment account. This posting entry balances the cost of the parent item to the costs of the components in the general ledger.

If you disassemble a product to increase component stock levels, and later reassemble its components to create a remanufactured item, you will not always salvage 100 percent of the components originally used. For example, scrap and yield are not recovered on a disassembled product, whereas a production entry does take scrap and yield into account.
