Define where Task Cards should be used

Explanation

This activity is used to define where task cards should be used.

Task cards can be used on maintenance event types such as interval maintenance, modifications, condition limits, faults, life limits, and post maintenance checks. You can define a task card to use with one event type exclusively (for instance, one specific type of interval maintenance) or for multiple event types at the same time (for instance, on three different types of interval maintenance, two types of modifications and five types of condition limits). Task cards are commonly broken down into more detailed activities, referred to as subtasks. For more information on connecting subtasks to task cards, refer the online help file Define Subtasks for Task Cards.

Note: The connection between an event type and task card is created automatically when registering a task card in the Task Cards tab found in the relevant detail window (e.g., Modification Details). Registering in these tabs is exactly the same as in the Task Card window except that you're working in an overview window instead of a detail window.

Prerequisites

• A task card must be defined for the part revision.  
• To register interval maintenance data for a task card, maintenance codes must be defined as basic data in Maintenance Program Basic Data.
• To register condition limits for a task card, the condition limits must be predefined on the part revision.
• In order to connect modifications to a task card, a modification must be defined. Furthermore, parts and part revisions including the part revision for which the task card is created must be assigned to the modification.   
• To connect fault functions to a task card, fault codes must have been connected for the functions of the relevant product model.
• To register task cards for an LLP (life limited part), the part must be defined as an LLP and have stress ratings connected to it.
• To connect post maintenance checks to a task card, the post maintenance check must be defined. Further, the part revision for which the task card is created must be assigned to the post maintenance check.

System Effects

• A task card is defined and connected to the event type on which the task card is to be performed, e.g., the task card will be used to remove the expired LLP from its parent structure.
• When pending maintenance events are distributed to a work order, the active task card and belonging information will be copied to the work order.
• If subtasks are connected to the task card, these can be viewed in the Subtasks tab per event code, e.g., in the Task Cards per Maintenance Code window.

Procedure

Use the following procedure to connect a task card to an interval maintenance:

1. Open the Task Card window and query (F3) for your part revision or for a specific task card.
2. Click the Connect Mx Event Codes tab and then click the Maintenance Code sub tab.
3. Create a new record (F5).
4. In the Maint Code field, enter the required interval maintenance code. Use the List of Values to select a value.
5. Save the record (F12).

Use the following procedure to connect a task card to a condition limit:

1. Open the Task Card window and query (F3) for your part revision or for a specific task card.
2. Click the Connect Mx Event Codes tab and then click the Condition Limit sub tab.
3. Create a new record (F5).
4. In the Condition Category field, enter the required condition category. Use the List of Values to select a value.
5. When a condition category is entered, the Condition Code field is populated with the predefined value and the condition limit where the task card to be executed is defined.
6. Save the record (F12).

Use the following procedure to connect a task card to a modification:

1. Open the Task Card window and query (F3) for your part revision or for a specific task card.
2. Click the Connect Mx Event Codes tab and then click the Modification sub tab.

4. In the Mod Code field, enter the modification code for the modification where the task card is to be executed. Use the List of Values to select a value.
5. In the Mod Execution Type field, enter the modification execution type. Use the List of Values to select a value.
6. Save the record (F12).

Use the following procedure to connect a task card to a fault function:

1. Open the Task Card window and query (F3) for your part revision or for a specific task card.
2. Click the Connect Mx Event Codes tab and then click the Fault Function sub tab.
3. Create a new record (F5).
4. In the Function Number field, enter the required fault function number. Use the List of Values to select a value.
5. In the Fault Code field, enter the fault code. Use the List of Values to select a value.
6. Save the record (F12).

Use the following procedure to connect a task card to a life limit:

1. Open the Task Card window and query (F3) for your part revision or for a specific task card.
2. Click the Connect Mx Event Codes tab and then click the Life Limit sub tab.
3. Create a new record (F5).
4. In the Stress Rating ID field, enter the required stress rating ID. Use the List of Values to select a value.
5. In the LLP Part Number field, enter the part number for the required LLP. Use the List of Values to select a value.
6. In the LLP Part Revision field, enter the part revision for the required LLP. Use the List of Values to select a value.
7. Save the record (F12).

Use the following procedure to connect a task card to a post maintenance check:

1. Open the Task Card window and query (F3) for your part revision or for a specific task card.
2. Click the Connect Mx Event Codes tab and then click the Post Maintenance Check sub tab.
