10.5 Disassemble Work Order

Disassembling a Work Order is the inverse process of making a Work Order. You can disassemble a broken product to repair it, or to recycle the useful parts. When a product is disassembled, the product inventory reduces and the component inventory increases. To Serva Software LLC, even though it is uncommon to rob Peter to pay Paul, a strict monitoring system is necessary when it does occurs.
