How to salvage serialized parts back into inventory

We have a dual part A and a single part B. They both use component C (dual uses 2 and single uses 1). We ship these to the sales yard (different epicor site) and often we have too many dual A and not enough single B parts. The staff will take component C out of A and convert dual A to a single B. However now we don’t know how to put the extra C back into inventory. All three parts are serialized.

We tried doing a job for part B that consumes part A with a copart of C but the copart functionality appears to be greyed out when parts are serialized.

Any ideas on how this can be properly done without a quantity adjustment?

If you have issued Part C SN X to a job, do a Return Material of Part C SN X to stock. Then you can issue that part to the new job.

But wouldn’t you have to return material to the original job to was consumed in? What if that job is in a different site and was completed months ago? Finance doesn’t like us to open jobs from the previous month. I agree that would be the way to go if it was caught quickly, but not after months and transferring between sites and sometimes even companies?

Yes, you would. There is currently no way to do what you want cleanly in Epicor. Any solution will be clunky at best.

Thanks. That was my question. If they weren’t serialized, we could do a co-part job pretty easily but since they are serialized, we are struggling getting it to work efficiently.
