Create and Maintain Tracked Parts List

Explanation

This activity is used to define customer tracked position parts. When a position part is set as tracked, all real parts including the installed part and alternates that are valid for the tracked position will be treated as tracked parts.

The following table shows the different menu options that can be used to create or maintain a tracked parts list:

Menu Option	Description
Remove Tracked Parts List	Removes the entire tracked parts list.
Import Parts from Template	Creates a tracked parts list that consists of all position parts for a template.
Copy Tracked Parts List	Creates a tracked parts list by copying parts from another tracked parts list which is defined for the same overhaul object.
Mark All as Tracked	Selects the Tracked check box for all the entries in the list.

Prerequisites

An overhaul object must be associated with a customer in the Shop Visit/Visit Defaults tab. The structure of the overhaul object must be transferred or prepared for transfer to manufacturing.

System Effects

A set of reports can be created for specific customers displaying the information for tracked parts.
The Off Log, On Log, and Expected Log reports would then show only tracked parts.
In assembly shop order materials, real part numbers valid for tracked position parts cannot be added without defining the position parts.
