Overview

In Repairdesk, the Manage Refurbishment feature allows you to track and manage the refurbishment process of devices or items that require repairs. This feature is especially useful for businesses that offer refurbishment services or deal with pre-owned devices.

1. What is Refurbishment?

Refurbishment refers to the process of restoring or renovating a device or item to a like-new condition. It involves repairing or replacing any faulty components, cleaning, and testing the device to ensure it functions properly.
Sometimes, businesses purchase cell phones in bulk from suppliers, but some of these devices may come out faulty or slightly damaged. To make these phones ready for resale, they need to be repaired and fixed in-house

  • Select the serial for which you want to create a refurbishment ticket.
  • Create the refurbishment ticket for the selected serial.
Once the ticket is marked as "Repaired," its status will be changed to "On Hand," and the user can now sell that serialized item.

5. How to Create Refurbishment Batch for Trade-In Items:  


RepairDesk now allow there users to include trade-in items within refurbishment batches directly from the trade-in item listing. Here’s how it works:

Permission Configuration:

A new permission Create Refurbishment Batch is added under the Roles and Permissions section of the Trade-In module.

Settings > Employees > Manage Roles Permission > Trade-In



By default, admins and super admins will be able to include trade-in items within refurbishment batches

Option Visibility:

The Create Refurbishment Batch option appears in the main action dropdown on the trade-in listing page, only for users with the Create Refurbishment Batch permission enabled.



Users without this permission cannot see the option.

Batch Creation from Trade-In Listing:

Select records from the trade-in listing and click on the Create Refurbishment Batch option.

Only in-stock trade-in items will be added to the refurbishment batch.

Clicking the Create Refurbishment Batch option navigates to the refurbishment batch creation page, displaying the selected in-stock trade-in items.

Pause Batch:

Clicking the pause batch option displays the selected trade-in items as Pending Refurb in the trade-in listing and item page.

If a refurbishment ticket is not created for the batch, the batch reference displays under the price tab of trade-in Item.



Clicking the batch reference redirects to the corresponding batch update page from where you can create a refurb ticket for a batch.

Search Bar Update:

The search bar within the refurbishment module is updated to include trade-in items in the search results.

You can search for trade-in items using trade-IMEI, Serial, or item ID.

You can scan trade-in items using the search bar.

6. Roles and Permissions:

  • Access Permission: Employees with only Access permission can view the refurbishment batches but cannot create new refurbishment tickets.
  • Edit Permission: Employees with both Access and Edit permissions can perform all actions, including creating new batches, editing paused batches, and creating refurbishment tickets.
  • Delete Permission: The delete option is not available for refurbishment batches, so the Delete Permission has no effect.
Additionally, admins can restrict users from changing the employee name while creating a refurbishment ticket by disabling a specific trigger.
By utilizing the Refurbishment module effectively, businesses can efficiently repair and refurbish bulk cell phones, preparing them for successful re-sale.
