The Servigistics processing automatically sets up all parts so that they are a repair part for themselves. Ideally, part A should be repaired with part A. However, there may be situations when the part is not available. The Repair Options features enables an alternate list of parts that could be used alternately to repair a part.

There are two types of parts that are considered with the Repair Options feature.

If the Repair To part cannot repair itself with the same part, the repair process checks for On Hand Bad Stock from the Repair Options defined on the Repair Options page for the part in need. The repair process will generate multiple repair recommendations using different Repair From Parts.

If the repair to part is not listed as one of its own repair from options, the repair process will assume it is a priority 1 repair from option. If you want another repair from part to take first priority, this can be overridden by entering the part as one of its own repair options with a different priority. Alternatively, you could let the repair process assume part A as it's own priority 1 repair option and set another repair from part to a priority with a lower number (like 0 or a negative number).

For example, consider part A where there is a need for 50 parts.

The repair process begins by searching for On Hand Bad Stock with part A. In our example, the repair process would generate three separate repair recommendations.
