Recover components and account for every expected position

Record actual parts, missing positions and the remaining source unit before closing recovery.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Operator, Supervisor

On this page

Recovery begins from a received return with supported dismantling permission and an approved matching template. The template lists expected positions and checks. It does not create component stock, and it does not prove that every expected part was present.

Start from the right return

Open Recover parts and select the return. Check Recovery permission and Reuse permission separately. Choose the approved recovery and check template matching the unit's established model and revision, then choose Start recovery.

Keep the recovery job tied to this return visit. If the model is unknown, the template is not approved or permission is missing, ask the supervisor to resolve the underlying evidence. A similar template is not a safe substitute for the exact method.

Record physical findings

Under Record the parts actually removed, select the open job. For each physical component, enter Position in the returned unit, Part code, Part revision and any Manufacturer serial. Choose the identity status you physically checked, record the observed condition and actual receiving, hold or assessment location.

Use Record recovered component once for the object. It gains a component identity and assessment hold. A repeated expected position or conflicting manufacturer identity is refused. Investigate which object and record is correct before trying again.

For expected positions without a recovered component, use Record finding and select Not present, Present but unusable or Not assessed as appropriate. State what was found. Do not invent a component to make the expected list complete.

Account for the rest of the unit

A supervisor records the source disposition in Oversight. Before Close recovery job, every expected position needs an actual finding and the remaining unit needs the required decision. Closing the job does not release its components for use.

If another recovery visit is necessary, use the supported follow-up workflow so earlier recovery and installation history remain attached to their identities. Continue with Check a component. Keep any unassessed or uncertain objects in held custody with their current identifiers.

Use the recorded follow-up controls

If a removed component already has an identity, or the closed job left a source unit on site for further recovery, use Recover an existing part and follow up. That guide identifies the actual controls and their source-history checks. Do not duplicate the component or replace the closed job's original findings.
