Quick Reporting of Pending Maintenance Event
Explanation
This activity is used to perform quick reporting of a pending maintenance
event. This is
useful when you want to finish events that have already been performed. The
events
will be handled similar to how events distributed as Simplified Work Orders are handled. If the event being finished is an inspection event (initial or continued) for a
modification:
- You may want to change the inspection to a higher intensiveness, a lower
intensiveness, embody the modification or terminate inspections of the modification.
- Enter an appropriate execution type in the New Execution Type
field. Do not change the execution type if you want to proceed with the
current inspection.
- If you want to terminate inspections of the modification, select the
Terminate Inspections check box. Terminating inspections implies that no
further initial or continued inspections will be carried out for the
particular serial, and the modification will not be complied with. If the
Terminate Inspections check box is selected, a value is required to be
entered in the Mod Execution Remark field.
- If you finish the last of the current inspection type without specifying
a New Execution Type, and with the Terminate Inspections check
box not selected, then the system will shift to the next execution type.
If a modification event leading to a part identity change exists and this
modification has the Terminating Action execution type, the assigned
and/or affected serial will be renamed to include the new part number and
revision once the modification is embodied. In order to perform the automatic
renaming of a serial once the event is embodied, the new part number and revision
for the serial must have been entered on the modification (i.e., in the
Change to Part Number and Change to Part Revision fields).
Furthermore, when the modification event is embodied, the system will perform a
check to validate the following information before renaming the serial:
- The new part number is a valid alternate of the
old part number (i.e., if the serial being renamed is installed in a
structure)
- The maintenance program and maintenance group for the old part number is
valid for the new part number (i.e., if a new maintenance program and
revision is not entered for the serial being renamed)
- The manufacturer and manufacturer part number of
the old part number is valid for the new part number (i.e., when a new
manufacturer and manufacturer part number is not entered for the serial
being renamed)
- A valid maintenance program and maintenance group must exist for the new
part number of the serial.
- The template of the old part number is valid for
the new part number (i.e., if the serial being renamed has a structure)
- All running events for the serial which are
mandatory to cancel have been canceled or finished with.
- The serial being renamed is not included in a work
scope that is in any status between Started or Closed (i.e., if the serial
is used in an IFS/Complex Assembly MRO flow).
When the part number is changed on a serial, the template information on the
serial is often changed as well and will be updated automatically. If the serial
has a structure and the old template information for the structure of the serial
does not match the new template structure information, the operational condition
of the serial will be set to Non Operational when renamed. When the
template information is valid for both the old and new part numbers, the
operational condition of the new serial will be the same as the operational
condition on the old serial. You can choose to update the operational log
history, replacement history as well as other history records with the new part
number.
Prerequisites
- A pending event without sign off requirements must exist. The Sign Off Req. Exist check box will be
selected if sign off requirements exist for the event.
- Task cards must not be connected to a pending manual event. The Task
Cards Exist check box will be selected if task cards are connected to
the event.
- The workshop must be defined.
- Resources with the Person Group resource type must be defined.
The resource must be valid for the site of the workshop connected to the
event.
- If post maintenance checks should be generated when the event is
finished, post maintenance check definitions must exist.
For serial fault events:
- Fault codes must have been defined. If a function number is entered on
the fault, fault codes must have been registered for the functional
breakdown.
- If a fault cause is to be entered, the cause must have been defined.
For modification events:
- The Allow Quick Reporting check box must be selected for the
modification record in the
Define Modification
or
Modification Details window.
- If the event being finished is a modification event
of execution type Terminating Action and leads to a part identity change, the new part number and revision must have been entered for the
serial. These values can be entered in the
Define Modification/Assign
Part Revisions tab or the
Modification Details/Affected Parts
tab.
- If the modification work should lead to an automatic part identity
change, the pending modification pending event must have the Terminating
Action execution type.
- If the modification work should lead to an automatic part identity
change for a serial installed in a structure, the new part number must have been defined
as a valid alternative for the old part number.
- If the event being finished is a modification event
of execution type Terminating Action and leads to a part identity change, a valid manufacturer and manufacturer part number
must exist for the new part number of the serial.
- If the event being finished is a modification event
of execution type Terminating Action and leads to a part identity
change, a valid maintenance program and maintenance group must exist for the
new part number of the serial.
- If the event being finished is a modification event
of execution type Terminating Action and leads to a part identity change, the serial cannot exist on a shop order with a
status between Started and Closed when using a Complex MRO flow.
System Effects
- The event is finished. Order history and event specific history is
updated.
- If the object associated with the event is a vehicle serial and the serial
has completed all running events, the vehicle condition of the serial is
automatically set to the
Vehicle Condition Code defined with auto setting Set when last
event is finished.
- Depending on the type of event being completed, the due calculation for
interval maintenance, modifications, post maintenance checks, life limited
parts or fault deferrals will run automatically for the serial to calculate
new due dates and values.
- In the background a work order is created, the status is changed to
Started, man-hours used are reported on a single work task, and
any consumed material is issued from inventory. The work order and work task is then set
to Finished.
- If a modification leading to a part identity
change is embodied, the part number of the
serial will be changed throughout Fleet and Asset Management.
- If a modification leading to a part identity
change is embodied, the part number of the serial will also be changed
in Part Serial Catalog and the history will be generated.
- If the serial is in Inventory (i.e., the current
position set to In Inventory) when being renamed through the embodiment
of a modification, the correct quantity on
hand will be created for the renamed individual.
- If the part number and/or serial number of the
serial is changed through the embodiment of a modification, on a serial that exists in the
Prepare Work
Order/Returns tab or the
Report In Work Order/Returns
tab, the part number and/or serial number of this serial will be updated
as well.
- If a modification leading to a part identity
change is embodied, information on the modification that has been
complied with is retained in the serial identification history in Fleet and
Asset Management.
This modification can be used as a reference for the reason a part identity
change was performed on the serial.
- If the serial's configuration becomes invalid as a
result of the rename, the operational status of the renamed serial is
automatically set to Out Of Operation.
- If the structure template information for the old
template structure is not valid for the new template structure, the
operational condition of the renamed serial is set to Non Operational.
- If
an overhaul event (Overhaul + Cycle) is executed prior executing the
scheduled interval maintenance events, the system automatically performs an
Interval Maintenance Reset for all the changed events having the calculation rules Inspection, Overhaul (No Cycle) and Replacement that are due prior the overhaul
event (Overhaul + Cycle). Note that interval maintenance that has not been
changed is aligned automatically subsequent to signing off the overhaul.
- If post maintenance check information
has been defined when the event is signed off, post maintenance checks will
be generated according to the intervals of the post maintenance check
definition.
