Select the “View File” link alongside, to view the selected file. The system displays the following field:
Link Info	Indicates whether aircraft effectivity details, part effectivity details, part requirement, resource requirement, reference details, or periodicity details are entered for the FCD. The system displays one of the following:
	AcEff - if aircraft effectivity details are available
	PartEff – if part effectivity details are available
	Tsk – if task details have been entered
	P – if part requirements are specified
	R - if resource requirements are specified
	Ref – if reference details are available
	Prd – if periodicity details are available. If more than one of the above details are identified for the FCD, the variables will be separated by “\”.

Click the “Create FCD” pushbutton, to create the fleet campaign directive for the change request.

If you have chosen automatic generation of the FCD number, the system generates the number with the prefix and suffix of the numbering type selected. The number is incremented from the last number available in the "Engineering Document" business component.

For the FCD generated, the system assigns “Fresh” status.

Note: This action is workflow-enabled. Notification messages can be sent as per the settings you have defined in the "Workflow Management" business component.

For the change request, revision number and applicability group combination, the system copies the following:

the reference document details defined for the change request and revision number combination.
If “Allow Duplicated FCD on the Same Effectivity” is set as “No” in the “Set Options” activity, the system generates the FCD only for the effectivity specified in the change request and aircraft model combination. Otherwise the system generates multiple FCDs for all the effectivities specified in the change request. . The system performs this update by considering the Time Unit for the Threshold Interval of the engineering document.
For the change request, revision number and group number combination in the reference document details, the system copies the effectivity details (Aircraft / Part / Serial No) from MCM Details to the FCD Number. The system copies the task details and compliance details apart from the effectivity details from the MCR to the FCD.

Creating change request based FCD – An overview

In this page, you can generate the fleet campaign directive (FCD) for the change request selected in the previous page. A unique number identifies the fleet campaign directive (FCD). Based on the option settings, the system either generates the FCD number automatically, or enables you to enter it manually. To generate the number automatically, you must specify the numbering type in this page.

You can specify the category to which the FCD belongs, user status, description and the ATA chapter to indicate the system on which the FCD has to be performed.

You can specify whether the FCD is applicable for the aircraft, component or engine, and its priority, background details and the reason for creating the FCD.

The execution details of the FCD such as the work center in which the FCD has to be performed, estimated time and man-hours required for the execution of the FCD, must be defined.

You can also indicate whether,

the FCD has to be performed in the original place of the part,
follow-up action is required after executing the FCD.

The system assigns the “Fresh” status as soon as the FCD is created, and sets the creation date and time to the server date and time

Note: If approval requirements are specified in the “Set Authorization Rules” activity, for the combination of the change document type and the source document type of the FCD, the system sets the “Authorization Status” of the FCD as “Pending”. Otherwise, the “Authorization Status” is set as “Authorization Not Required”.
