Define Sign Off Requirements for Maintenance Event Code

Explanation

This activity is used to define sign off requirements for maintenance event codes (i.e., fault functions, maintenance codes, condition limits, modification codes, life limits, and post maintenance check definitions). The purpose of this activity is to enter the sign off requirements that will be used on a maintenance event. If IFS Human Resources is installed, it is possible to specify a valid certificate for the sign off requirement on the event. When a user signs off the event, the system will validate whether he or she has the required certificate to perform the sign off. If a certificate is not specified, the identity of the user is recorded when signing off, but validations will not be performed.

Prerequisites

• Fault functions must have been defined.
• Maintenance codes must have been defined per part revision.
• Condition limits must have been defined per part revision.
• Modification codes must have been defined per part revision.
• Stress ratings must have been defined for the valid combination of LLP (Life Limited Part) revision, template part revision and stress rating.
• Post maintenance check definitions must have been defined with part revisions assigned to it.
• If certificates are required, these certificates must have been defined in IFS Human Resources.
   

System Effects

• Sign off requirements will be defined for the fault function, maintenance code, condition limit, modification code, life limit, and post maintenance check.
• Validations can now be performed when signing off the fault event defined with a corresponding fault function or when signing off the interval maintenance event, condition limit event, modification event, life limit event or post maintenance check event.
