Logging Part Replacements¶

TIGA tracks part usage through the Part Replacements table, where we indicate that an item needs to be removed from the warehouse subsystem of TIGA and linked to a system in the field. A common example for this is when a Field Service Engineer (FSE) replaces parts in order to fix a system in the field.

Pre-condition:

The parts are in your warehouse or the customers’ and have been exchanged in the instrument.

To replace parts:

Open the Case related to the repair that you have performed.
In the Part Replacements/Related Table, create a new record.

When searching for the part to replace, search for it either within your FSE warehouse or the customer’s warehouse, depending on where you got the part from.
