A serviceable item would be an article purchased by a consumer that may need to be serviced due to product failure during its life. The retailer who sells the item or the manufacturer sets forth criteria for an article to be serviced or replaced. This need for repair or replacement is usually due to wear and tear or factory default in manufacturing.

Some items are more serviceable than others, such as electrical panels, car batteries, and engine transmissions. Large items with many parts such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, and microwave ovens and not as easy because of part replacement or the item is so old that the part is not available.

A serviceable item is something that you can find that will not need any repair or refurbishing so that it will work properly. Take note that serviceable items are not required to be new or old before they can be considered.

As long as they are working properly and they are efficient in providing satisfactory tasks, they are considered to be serviceable. Of course, when an item is considered to be unserviceable, this means that the item is not functioning the way that it is supposed to do. There may be different reasons why it is not working satisfactorily anymore. Most of the time, it will be checked just to know the root cause.

Serviceable items simply refer to items that do not need repairs or refurbishing; they operate satisfactorily, or we can say they are functional. Some things should not be the factors that determine whether an item operates satisfactorily or is functional, such as age or obsolescence.

Serviceable items can be very old or obsolete. Serviceable item is actually a term used in the law field and not actually a different English word. If we want to explain it with the knowledge of English, we would probably say that a serviceable item is an item that can be serviced.

Hence, any good company ensures that they deliver serviceable items through whatever delivery medium to their customers. However, most serviceable items are usually big items rather than small items. Hence, an item can be said to be an unserviceable item when the customer discovers a fault and returns it to the delivery agent.

You can define an Oracle Inventory object as a good product, including items representing sellable products. It is an item that is functional or operates well as it is with no repairs or adjustments necessary. Serviceable items can also be somewhat old or even obsolete. You should use the service attribute group in Oracle Inventory to flag products as serviceable items. To determine whether the object is serviceable, head to the service alternative region of the Master Item Window in Oracle Inventory. Enter the item and the description of the item. Check the master display attribute. Optionally enter the service starting delay. Save your work. Select organizational assignments from the special menu and facilitate the serviceable product in all inventory organizations in which it will be used. Save your work.
