Recording task details

This tab facilitates defining task details for an engineering document. You can define “As-Required”, “Perpetual”, Schedule-Tracked and Non-Tracked tasks in a single engineering document. You can also inactivate previous revision of Improvised task on release of the engineering document.

Select the “Tasks” tab in the “Manage Eng. Document” page.

On selecting “Tasks” tab

If the Engineering Document selected is in 'Fresh' or 'Released' Status, the 'Create' radio button is disabled.
If the selected Eng. Doc. # in the header is in 'Released' status, you cannot add / modify tasks in the 'Edit' mode.
The system retrieves and displays ‘Task #’, ‘Task Desc.’, ‘Time Unit’, ‘Est. Elapsed Time’, ‘Est. Man Hrs’ and 'Operation Type' in the multiline, based on the value of the process parameter ‘Auto Task Card Authoring?' set in the “Set Process Parameters” page of the “Common Master” business component.

Note: The screen is switched to ‘Create’ / ‘Edit’ / ‘Revise’ mode, based on the status of the Eng. Doc. # / MCR selected in the tree.

Progress Bar update

For the selected Eng. Doc. # and Rev. #,

If the Task(s) are not defined, the Progress Bar is displayed in 'Orange' Color.
If the Task(s) are defined, the Progress Bar is displayed in 'Green' Color.

Enter the following details in the “Task Details” multiline:

Task #

The code identifying the task defined for the Engineering Document - Revision # combination. Mandatory. Ensure that at least one task must be specified for the Engineering Document selected. For each Task # entered, the 'Task Applicability' must be same as the 'Applicability' of the Eng. Doc. #. For example, 'Aircraft Tasks' cannot be entered for 'Eng Doc' of "Component" Applicability and vice-versa.

If you have set the “Task Classifier” as “Existing” or “Improvised”, the Task # - Revision # combination must have been already defined in the “Maintenance Task” business component. But for new tasks, the Task # - Revision # combination must not have been already defined in the “Maintenance Task” business component.

You cannot modify the Task # that was already associated to the Eng. Doc.

Enter the following:

Revision comments

Any remarks entered during revision of the engineering document. You must enter the revision comments, if the selected Eng. Doc. # is in 'Released' status and the screen is in 'Revise' Mode.

Click the “Save” pushbutton to update the task details for the engineering document.

Process Parameter Dependency: The task you add to the engineering order or the task of which you want to modify details must be mapped to the maintenance operator tagged to the login user, if the process parameter “Allow addition/modification of tasks from other Maint. Operator codes in EO?” is set as "0" for “Not Allowed” under the entity type Eng. Doc Type and the entity “All Eng. Doc” in the Define Process Entities activity of Common Master.

Note: The system displays an error message if any concurrent user attempts to modify the details of the engineering document.

The system performs the following on clicking the “Save” pushbutton.

Allows modification of existing tasks or addition of new tasks when the screen is in 'Edit' mode, if the selected Eng. Doc. is in “Fresh” status.
Allows modification of existing tasks or addition of new tasks when the screen is in 'Revise' mode, if the selected Eng. Doc. is in “Released” status. On successful addition, the system generates a new revision # for the Eng. Doc. #.
For all the tasks with Task Classifier as 'Improvised', the system copies the following details identified for the task and model in the “Maintenance Task” business component, to the Eng. Doc. # - Eng. Doc. Revision - Model - Task # - Task Revision # combination.
Work Area / Zone details
Sub-Tasks details
Task References details
Notes
The system ensures that all the tasks in the same Applicability Group # do not have ‘Initiated / Reset By’ set as “Related Task Compliance”.

Example:

Task # Applicable Group # Initiated/Reset By

T1 1,3,4 Self Compliance

T2 3 Related Task Compliance

T3 6 Related Task Compliance

T4 1,6 Related Task Compliance

T5 4 Self Compliance

T6 6 Related Task Compliance

Note: The system will throw error for the task ‘T3’, since all the tasks in the Applicable Group# '6' is having 'Related Task Compliance'. For all the other Applicable Group # 's there is at least one task which is having 'Self Compliance', hence system will save those tasks.

If cost details are not are available in the Eng Doc # in the respective fields in 'Budgetary Information' section of the “More Information” tab, the system calculates and updates the following Cost Details for the ‘Existing’ Task based on the estimates available for the saved tasks in the “Maintenance Task” business component.
Part cost = Sum of Std Cost of all the estimated parts of Tasks.

Note: Part Estimates for the tasks are defined in the “Maintenance Task” business component. Standard Cost of the Part is defined in the “Part Administration” business component. S

Update of Task Classifier based on Applicability Group #:

The system updates Task Classifier, based on the Applicability Group #, as follows:

Applicability of Task	Conditions	Update of Task Classifier
Aircraft	Task # is valid in Task Master All Model # of the Applicability Group exists in the Model Effectivity list of the Task #	Existing / Improvised
Aircraft	Task # is valid in Task Master All Model # of the Applicability Group do not exist in the Model Effectivity list of the Task #	Improvised
Aircraft	Task # is not valid	New
Component	Task # is valid in Task Master All Part # of the Applicability Group exist in the Part Effectivity list of the Task #	Existing / Improvised
Component	Task # is valid in Task Master All Part # of the Applicability Group do not exist in the Part Effectivity list of the Task #	Improvised

Next Schedule Date (NSD / Next Schedule Value (NSV) computation:

If ‘Initiate / Reset By’ is flipped from “Related Task Compliance” to “Self-Compliance”, the system computes NSD / NSV as follows, based on the ‘Action on Rev. Effec. ?’ set for the applicability group:

Action on Rev. Effec. ?	Availability of Threshold date / Threshold Interval / Repeat Interval	NSD / NSV
Blank / Re-comply / Carry Over Compliance: Task not complied	Threshold Date / Value available	NSD = Threshold Date NSV = Threshold Value
	NSD = Threshold Date NSV = Threshold Value	NSD = Eff. From Date + Threshold Interval NSV = Parameter value of Eff. From Date + Threshold Interval
	Threshold Date / Value not available Threshold Interval not available Repeat Interval available	NSD = Eff. From Date + Repeat Interval NSV = Parameter value of Eff. From Date + Repeat Interval
Note: NSD / NSV is not computed, if Eff. From Date is not available.
Carryover Compliance: Complied : Task complied	Repeat Interval available	NSD = Last Performed Date + Repeat Interval NSV = Last Performed Value + Repeat Interval
Carryover Compliance: Complied : Task complied	Repeat Interval not available	NSD / NSV is not computed

If the Schedule-Tracked / As Required / Perpetual tasks are deleted from the revised Engineering Document, and if the engineering document is released, the system inactivates the tasks in the corresponding program.
If the ‘Tracking Type’ is changed from “Schedule-Tracked” to “Non-Tracked” / “Perpetual” / “As Required”, the system deletes the schedules associated with Task # - Revision # - Applicability Group #.
If 'Initiate / Reset By' is modified from "Self-Compliance" to "Related Task Compliance", the system deletes the NSD / NSV computed for Task # - Revision # - Applicability Group #. But the Schedules and the Threshold Date / Value are not deleted. On flip of 'Initiate / Reset By' from to "Related Task Compliance" system will compute NSD / NSV based on schedules.
Click the Delete icon in the tool bar above the multiline, to delete the tasks selected in the multiline.
The system deletes the tasks for the engineering document and the revision number combination. The piece part requirement, resource information, work area and zone information, notes, references and subtasks information of the task are also deleted for the engineering document.4
