Use this function when it is necessary to reverse the effects of a Production record. This may be because an assembled Item was disassembled and its components returned to stock, because a Production record was marked as Finished incorrectly, or because a Finished Production record contained an error.

Find and open the Production record that is to be reversed, and select 'Disassemble' from the Operations menu. The function will create and open a new Production record that is the reverse of the original (i.e. the Input Items in the original Production will be Output Items in the new record, and the original Output Item will now be an Input Item).

The new Production record is opened in a window entitled 'Production: Inspect'. This means that it has already been saved, and is being opened for checking. You may need to attach a W-Cost to the Input Item to record the cost of disassembly.

When you mark the record as Finished and save it, a Nominal Ledger Transaction will be generated, reversing the one created by the original Production record, and the stock levels of the assembled Items and the components will be updated. The assembled Item will be removed from stock, and the components will be returned to stock.

The two Production records will be connected to each other through the Attachments facility. This allows you to open the original Production quickly and easily from the disassembly record, or to open the disassembly from the original Production.
