Regarding tracking the labor - three options:

1. You could create an entirely new work order and track all rework time separately there.
2. You could split the work order into a new order line item and track rework time separately there.
3. You could keep everything in the same work order, and create “re-work” work locations for each work location in ADMIN » Data Maintenance » OrdlineStatus. Then, to track re-work labor, click the link next to Work Location Group. This will pop up a screen where a user with the Supervisor or Admin privilege can move the work order to any work location, even those that are not defined in your part path. So you would select the re-work location, either a catch-all re-work work location or a re-work location specific to the machine.

Regarding tracking the material, same as above, three options:

1. You could create an entirely new work order and track all rework time and material separately there.
2. You could split the work order into a new order line item and track everything there.
3. You could keep everything in the same work order, and use the “part request” feature to request and track rework material, and define “reason code” for why you need new material for re-work (e.g. “scrap” is a common reason code). The material cost will still roll up into total cost for the work order. But if you need to, you will be able to look at the part request reports to see what material was requested as rework for which orders.

Our recommendation is strongly to opt for option #3 on both fronts, labor and material.
