We want to create a BOM that one of the materials required is the same as the finished part. We need to issue the part to the production order, along with additional parts to repair it. The finished part comes out of production with the same InventoryID as it went in, but with a new Lot or Serial number.
Currently, It seems I cannot add the finished part to the materials. Is there a way to identify a BOM as a rework BOM that will require this?

I found the help page. I was hoping there was a way to add the item to be reworked in the BOM’s material, but the help says this is not possible. Maybe I can do it with a custom workflow.
This is what the Service Repair (SP) Production Order is made for. It will let you issue the same Item you are making to the production order - even with Lot/Serial numbers. However, you can’t add the same item you are making to a BOM - the BOM doesn’t know you will be using it on an SP. To get around this, copy or enter the repair operations and materials and add the finished item as a material requirement to an new SP Production Order. Then the next time you need to do a repair, you can copy that SP production order to the new one.
I don’t seem to have an option for SP. The only functions I see for Production order types are Regular, Planning and Disassemble.
You might have to Active that specific Order Type in Production Order Preferences.
If you do a Universal Search on “Rework/Repair” Orders, you will find additional details on this type of production order.
