Create and maintain Minimum Release Life Information

Explanation

Use this activity to define minimum release life values per part number for the customer's overhaul objects. The minimum release life value can be over-ridden in every visit.

The minimum release life value is used;

• As the required remaining life for all the life limited parts (LLPs) in the overhaul object's serial structure.
• As the default value for the work scope defined for a visit, for a serial of a part number for the customer.
• In the conformance check for all LLPs that are not included in the work scope.

Prerequisites

• The customer must be defined in the Enterprise/Customer/Customer window.
• The operational parameters that are to have default values must have been defined for the part number (For more information see the online help file: Serial Part Info/Operational Parameters).  

System Effects

When an operational parameter is selected in the Task Summary/LLPs tab, the corresponding default value will be displayed. The default values can be used in the final configuration conformance check for all LLPs that are not included in the work scope.
