Search Input

Search Document

Enter any one of the search parameters like MCR #, Eng. Doc #, Applicability, ATA #, A/C Reg #, Model #, Part #, Serial #, Component # and Eng. Doc. subject or MCR Subject, Nose # or Ref. Doc. # to retrieve the Engineering Documents matching the search input, in a tree structure.

All the search parameters except MCR #, Eng. Doc # / Eng. Doc. subject / MCR / MCR are applicable for both MCR and Eng. Doc.

On search, the matching records are displayed in the tree, based on the selection of the radio buttons ‘Eng. Doc. / MCR’, ‘MCR’ and ‘Eng. Doc.’. The search also retrieves components from the Impact Assessment documents for which advanced part effectivity has been defined on the basis of the chosen MCR or MCR associated with the EO if the process parameter "Update impacted components from impact assessments to PCR on creation of PCR" under the entity Eng. Doc. Type and the entity All Eng. Doc. in the Define Process Entities activity of Common Master set to 1 for Yes.

Tree Structure

On search, the system displays the matching MCR and Eng. Doc. records in a tree structure with the folder ‘Engineering Mod’ as a parent node, based on the selection of the radio buttons. MCR and Engineering document are identified by different icons. A ‘Clip board with gear’ ‘’ indicates Engineering document. A simple clipboard ‘’ indicates MCR document. The records are displayed along with the Revision # concatenated with the respective MCR / Eng Doc. Description, either in alphabetical order or in ascending / descending order of Effective From Date, based on the process parameter defined for the Entity Type 'Eng. Doc Type' under the Entity ‘—All Eng. Doc—‘ in the “Common Master” business component. Example:

Right Pane – Header

The system displays the following fields in the header in the right pane:

Eng. Doc. # / Rev. #

The code identifying engineering document / revision number of the engineering document.

Applicability

The applicability of the Eng. Doc. #.

Status

The status of the engineering document, which could be “Fresh”, “Released”, “Revised” or "Cancelled".

The system displays the following icons in the header:

a.      -  This icon indicates that the document is ‘Pending for Authorization’.

b.      -  This icon indicates that the document is ‘Authorized’.

Create

Select this radio button to create an engineering document. On selecting an MCR document in the tree, the ‘Create’ radio button is selected by default, to facilitate creation of engineering document.

Edit

Select this radio button to edit the engineering document. You can edit the released engineering document without revising, based on the options set in “Common Master” business component. On clicking an engineering document in “Fresh” status, the relevant data are transferred to the left pane and ‘Edit’ radio button will be defaulted.

Revise

Select this radio button to revise an engineering document, irrespective of the option setting. On clicking an engineering document in “Release” status, corresponding data gets transferred to the left pane, and the ‘Revise’ radio button is defaulted.

View

Select this radio button to review the engineering document. On clicking an engineering document in “Release” status, corresponding data gets transferred to left plane also and ‘Release’ radio button will be defaulted. No transactions are permitted in this mode.

Viewing Engineering document details

You can view the engineering document details based on the user mapping. When the user mapping is only for the “Manage Engineering Document” activity, the ‘View’ radio button appears alongside the Create / Edit / Revise buttons. In this mode, you can create / edit / revise / view the engineering document.

When the user mapping is for both the “Manage Engineering Document” activity and “View / Manage Engineering Document” activity (Dummy activity), only the ‘View' radio button appears.  In the view mode, only the ‘Eng. Doc.’ radio button is enabled. The tree displays all the Eng. Doc. irrespective of the status.
