We have not been using the QA module as intended, I am trying to run some production parts through the proper nonconformance process. I began a non-conformance, I failed them in inspection processing and now I am on DMR. How do I tell kinetic that we reworked the parts? I didn’t see an area to specify this in any of the steps. We also do not use the “corrective action” module. Inspection data/results is not available to me either, so is this not working how I want it to because we do not have the enhanced QA module?
Thanks for any help!
Welcome @cdeblaere !
The way that I have interpreted how to use the Quality functionality is this way (not even sure if this is what Epicor intended 
).
- Production Worker NCRs a part off of a job with a reason code.
- Inspector reviews part. If it can be reworked, accept back to job for rework. Else reject to DMR.
- DMR reviewed. If it can be reworked, accept back to job for rework. Else reject.
In your instance, I would put the comments on how to rework it in the Accept comments. Then I would instruct the worker to log into the same Operation and click the Rework flag to denote that time as rework.

Welcome again @cdeblaere!
To expand on what @jkane says, in your specific case you would need to first create a job with operations that will fix the item, whatever OTHER materials are required (if any), and this actual item as a material… so you have a job where the OUTPUT is the same as one of the INPUTs. It’s a logic trap, but it works. From the DMR Processing screen, open your DMR and go to “Accept Material Details”. Click the + to create a new record, and enter your Job Number, Assembly, and Material Sequence along with quantity to “issue” this material OUT of DMR and onto the job. Complete the job as any other job and accept this part back to stock when done.

@cdeblaere I concur with the other two responses.
But something you might find helpful is setting up appropriate reason codes for DMR Accept that will provided the Reason for the Accept, in this case something like ‘Reworked.’
The other option is to Rework the parts on a different Job, or even a different Operation on the same job that is for Rework, or be sure to mark the Labor Entry as rework, which can help those reviewing the Job to understand why the Actual Job Costs are higher.
This makes so much sense and honestly feels really obvious in hindsight haha. We do not have “jobs” for the rework or a rework reason code so we will be setting those up
Thank you!!
