Initializing engineering document schedule details

This page allows you to modify the Schedule Date of the engineering document for the aircraft. Tell me more.

Select the “Initialize Eng. Doc. Schedules” link at the bottom of the “Select Engineering Document” page.

The “Initialize Eng. Doc. Schedules” page appears.

Note: The system ensures the following before launching the page:

You must have selected atleast one record in the multiline of the “Select Engineering Document” page. However, this validation is not applicable if you launch this screen from any other page.
The Eng. Doc # and Revision # combination must be valid.
In the case of engineering documents with MCR reference, the system checks if the “Assignments Mandatory?” value is set to "Yes" in the “Set Options” activity. If the value is set to “Yes”, the system checks whether the Eng. Doc # and Revision # combination have been assigned/ mapped to the employee to launch the “Initialize Eng. Doc. Schedules” page.
The engineering document must be of “Fresh” status.
The “Schedule Type” of the engineering document must be either “One Time” or “Recurring”.
Atleast one of the following entities must have been defined:

Aircraft Reg # must have been defined if the Effectivity is “Aircraft”
Component # must have been defined if the Effectivity is “Component” or “Engine”

Atleast one Task # with Prog. Item Type as "Schedule Tracked" must be available for the selected engineering document. Also, atleast one Applicability Group # must have been mapped to the “Schedule Tracked” task.

Note: The "Schedule Tracked" tasks and their “Applicability Group #” are defined in “Edit Task Information” page

The system displays the following fields:

Date Format	The format in which the date fields must be entered in this page. This format is displayed from the "User Preferences" business component based on the login user ID. In case the format is not defined, the system displays the date format from the “Enterprise Modeling” business component by default.
The system displays the following fields in the “Eng Doc Details” group box for the selected Eng. Doc # and Revision # combination:
Eng. Doc #	The unique number of the engineering document selected in the main page.
Revision #	The revision number of the engineering document
Subject	The textual description of the engineering document. Zoom facility available.
Applicability	Indicates whether the engineering document is applicable for “Aircraft”, “Component” or “Engine”.
Source Doc. Type	The source or modification document of the engineering document.
Effective From Date	The date from which the engineering document is effective.
Schedule Type	The type of the schedule could “One-Time” or “Recurring”.

Entering aircraft schedule details in aircraft modification plan – An overview

In this page, you can modify the Schedule Date of the engineering document for the aircraft. The system lists the aircraft for which the engineering document is applicable, in the multiline. You can modify the user status of the engineering document. The system automatically defaults the compliance date as the schedule Date on which the engineering document has to be executed against each aircraft displayed in the multiline. If you wish to execute the engineering document for the aircraft before the system-generated Schedule date, you can specify the schedule date against each aircraft.
