The Variance Reason frame allows you to create and maintain a list of codes to be used in the Component Rebuild Process.
The variance reason code is required when the quantity of fabricated parts being received into inventory is not equal to the quantity of fabricated parts being requested at the time of the work order completion process when the Job Reason code is marked with a Component Rebuild designation.

Once the entry is complete, click the Save button at the top of the frame. The new Variance Reason will now be available for use.
