Repairable Items

Track every rotable by serial number

Serialized tracking for rotable spares — motors, gearboxes, valves, control modules. Each unit has its own repair history, cost, and reliability score across unlimited repair cycles.

How it works

High-value components don't get thrown away when they fail — they come out, go to the shop, and come back in service. PulsePlant tracks each one individually by serial number so you always know where a specific unit is, how many times it's been repaired, what each repair cost, and whether it's still worth fixing.

The lifecycle is explicit: Available → In Use → In Repair → Repair Complete → Available. Inside-repair jobs use an internal work order. Outside-repair jobs use a supplier requisition and PO. Either way, the system tracks shipping, turnaround, cost, and quality notes against the serial number — not just the SKU.

Stock accounting is clean by design. Stock decrements only at serialization or direct issue, never during the repair cycle, so you never double-count the same physical unit. A reliability score per serial helps you make repair-vs-replace decisions with data instead of guesses.

What you get

Serial-level tracking

Each physical unit has its own ID, condition rating, and full movement history.

Inside or outside repair

Route to the internal shop or ship to an external vendor — both tracked with full cost detail.

Swap in / swap out

Pull a failed unit, install a repaired spare, keep operating. All in one recorded transaction.

Repair history per unit

Every repair event, cost, turnaround time, and technician note stays with the serial number.

Reliability scoring

Automatic score based on failure frequency tells you when a unit is no longer worth repairing.

Stock adjustments handled right

Clear SERIALIZE vs INCREASE modes so you never double-count during first-time setup.

Common ways it's used

Managing a rotable pool of motors or control valves across a plant
Making data-driven repair-vs-replace decisions on expensive components
Tracking warranty claims on specific serial numbers through repair
Auditing supplier repair quality with turnaround and defect data
