Selecting technical log for modification

This page can be used to select an existing technical log for modifications. Tell me more.

• Select the “Edit Technical Log” link under the “Flight Log” business component.

The “Select Technical Log” page appears.

The system displays the following field:

• Enter the following field in the “Direct Entry” group box, if you know the technical log to be modified:

•  Select the “Edit Tech Log” link displayed alongside to edit the details of the technical log.

To search for technical log

• Enter the following filter criteria in the “Search Criteria” group box to search for a technical log. Data entry in the following fields is optional:

• Click the “Search” pushbutton to display the search results.

The system retrieves the details of all the technical logs that are in “Fresh” and “Fresh-Held” status, in the following fields in the multiline, based on the filter criteria entered:

• Click the “Confirm Tech Log” pushbutton to confirm the technical log.

Note: The system calculates the actual cost for the technical log as the sum of material cost, resource cost, employee cost, labour cost, facilities cost and miscellaneous cost.

Note: If the Tech Log is based on a customer order with a service price list, that has the Pricing Method for Skills set to “Roster Code”, then the system splits the time sheet records into various time slabs and computes the skill price as defined in the roster code details of the service price list attached to the customer order.

Note: Before confirming the technical log, ensure that the status is not “Confirmed” or “Cancelled”. On successful confirmation, the status of the technical log is updated to “Confirmed”.

Note: You cannot confirm a technical log when the component replacement records, with the “Source” set as “Remove”, “Attach” or “Swap”, are not confirmed in the “Replace Components” page.

Ensure that a discrepancy is reported in the technical log when the “Discrepancy Rep?” field is set as “Yes”  while providing sign-off information in the “Record Work & Sign-Off Information” page.

Under the following circumstances, the selected technical log can be confirmed only if a record with "Discrepancy Type" as "MIREP" is available:

• The "Enforce Sign-Off ?" field in the "Set Options" activity is set as "Yes".

• The "Discrepancy?" field in the "Sub-Task Information" multiline of the "Record Work information" page is set as “Yes”.

If the “Enforce Excess/Core Returns?” field in the “Set Options” activity is set as “No”,  the Technical log gets confirmed without checking for the pending return qty.  

If the “Enforce Excess/Core Returns?” field in the “Set Options” activity is set as “Yes”, ensure that the following conditions are satisfied for work units available in the “Record Material & Report Consumption” page:

“Issued Quantity” is specified for the corresponding part number and material request number.

“Pending Return Qty”  and “Pending Return Qty–Core“ is zero.

For the selected technical log, the system will short close the material request generated by the current technical log.

Note: Short closing is performed for the difference in quantity between the MR quantity and the issued quantity.

The system updates the Record Status as “Closed”, if the “Action” field is blank, the present record status is “Under Resolution” and the option setting for “Automatic Closing of Discrepancy #” is set as “Yes”. If the option setting for “Automatic Closing of Discrepancy #” is set as “No”, then ensure that the discrepancy status is not “Fresh”, “Pending” or “Under Resolution”.

On confirmation, for unforecasted work units added from the “Perform Opportunity Maintenance” page, and direct work units added in the “Record Work and Sign-Off Information” page, where the execution status is set as “Completed”, the system updates the compliance information such as  ‘Last Performed Date’ and ‘Last Performed Value’. If those work units are repetitive, then their ‘Next Schedule Date’ and ‘Next Schedule Value’ are also updated in their respective aircraft maintenance program or component maintenance program. If the work unit is scheduled more than once in the maintenance program, the system updates the compliance information for all of them.

If the operations type is “Flight Ops”, the system updates the compliance date of the work units in the compliance history of the “Aircraft” business component, based on the option set for the “Ref. Date for Compliance against Flight Ops” in the “Set Options” activity. If the option setting is “Start Date”, the system considers the start date of the technical log. If the option setting is “End Date”, the system considers the end date of the technical log. If the option setting is “User Defined”, the system considers the compliance date specified in the “Record Work Unit & Sign-off Information” page.

Note: The compliance date specified in the “Record Work Unit & Sign-off Information” page should lie between the “Actual Start Date & Time” and “Actual End Date & Time” of the technical log.

If the operations type is “Repair Station”, the system updates the compliance date of the work units in the compliance history of the “Aircraft” business component, based on the option set for the “Ref. Date for Compliance against Repair Station” in the “Set Options” activity. If the option setting is “Start Date”, the system considers the start date of the technical log. If the option setting is “End Date”, the system considers the end date of the technical log. If the option setting is “User Defined”, the system considers the compliance date specified in the “Record Work Unit & Sign-off Information” page.

Note: The compliance date specified in the “Record Work Unit & Sign-off Information” page should lie between the “Actual Start Date & Time” and “Actual End Date & Time” of the technical log.

Note: If any work unit of the current technical log is “Pre-Closed”, the system updates the compliance details in the central planning pending tray based on the option setting.

For planned, unplanned and direct work units where the job type is on-wing and execution status is “Completed”, based on their maintenance type, the system resets the following parameter values of the components on which work units are executed, in the “Edit Consumption and Range Parameters” page of “Edit Component Record” activity in the “Aircraft” business component.

• If the maintenance type is overhaul, the system resets the “Since Overhaul”, “Since Repair” and “Since Inspection” parameter values to zero.

• If the maintenance type is repair, the system resets the “Since Repair” and “Since Inspection” parameter values to zero.

• If the maintenance type is inspection, the system resets the “Since Inspection” parameter value to zero.

Note: The system will not reset any value if the maintenance type for the work unit is “Others” or “Retire”.

If the “Automatic Confirmation of Maint.Report” option is set to “Yes” in the “Set Options” activity, then the status of the maintenance report is automatically set to “Confirmed” on confirmation. The system also checks whether the login user is assigned the necessary rights to confirm a maintenance report in the “Discrepancy Processing” business component. If the login user does not have the required rights, then the status of the maintenance report will not be automatically confirmed, even when the “Automatic Confirmation of Maint.Report” option is set to “Yes” in the “Set Options” activity.

The system posts the financial entries to the relevant account codes in the "Finance Book Processing" business component.

If the work unit has been retrieved from “Opportunity Maintenance” page of the “Central Planning” business component and its “Execution status” is “Completed”, the system updates the job status of the work unit as “Completed” in the “Central Planning” business component.

The system also updates the compliance status of the work units based on the source. If the source is “AMP”, the system sets the “Schedule status” of the work unit as blank in the “Aircraft Maintenance Program” business component. If the source is “CMP”, the system updates the “Execution status” of the work unit as “Completed” in the “Component Maintenance Program” business component.

If these work units have any reference to EO or FCD, the “Engineering Order” business component is updated along with the “Execution comments” of the work unit.

For the selected technical logs, the system performs the following for the work units available in the “Record Work Information” page:

• If the source of the work units is “Aircraft Forecast”, “Component Forecast” or “Deferred”, and their  “Execution Status” is “Completed”, the system updates the “Execution Status” of the Aircraft Maintenance Program or Component Maintenance Program to “Completed”. The “Compliance Date” available in the “Record Work Information” page is updated as the compliance date.  

• If the source of the work units is “As required” or “Maintenance Event”, and the “Execution Status” is “Completed”,  the system updates the compliance history or maintenance event execution history of the primary maintenance program in the “Aircraft Maintenance Program” business component. The compliance date available in the “Record Work Information” page is updated as the compliance date  

• If the source of the work units is “Aircraft Forecast” or “Component Forecast”, and the “Execution Status” is “Pending” or “Incomplete”, the system updates the execution status of the “Aircraft Maintenance Program” or “Component Maintenance Program” to “Pending”. If the source is deferred, then the system updates the execution status as “Deferred”.

For the selected technical log, the system performs the following:

• Releases the unissued-but-allocated quantity of a material request to the “Material Request” business component. This is made available to other technical logs if the material request for the technical log was created by the “Material Request” business component. For example, if task “TL1” raises a material request 'MatReq1' and the request quantity is 100, out of which 40 are issued, on confirmation, the excess quantity 60 that is available in the material request is freed.

• Updates the position based formula of the component for the new position code if component replacement details are available.

• Updates the position-based schedules, date-based schedules, PBH and warranty information.

• If the execution status of the planned work units is “Completed” in the technical log, the system updates the compliance details in their corresponding “Aircraft Maintenance Program” or “Component Maintenance Program”.

• For work units whose “Execution Status” is set as “Incomplete”, the system displays the first compliance date as the “Compliance Date” for these work units.

Note: The system calculates the next schedule for incomplete work units based on usage schedules.

• For those records, which do not have a component replacement number, the system generates the Component Replacement number and the Cannibalization number for records with the "Object Type"  set as "Component" in the "Replace Component" page.

• Ensures that the outgoing component is attached to the aircraft when component replacement details are available.

• Ensures that component replacement details are recorded for the completed replacement work units reported in the 'Record Work and Sign-Off Information' page.

• The system will short close the material requests associated to the technical log, which are in “Authorized” or “Partially Issued” status. While short closing, Issue or Stock Transfer Issue documents, if any, created in “Fresh” status for those material requests, will be canceled. Stock Transfer documents associated with such canceled Stock Transfer Issue documents will also be short-closed.

• The system ensures that the “Execution Status” drop-down list box in the multiline of the “Record Work & Sign-off Information” page is  not selected as “Pending” or “Incomplete”, if the work unit “Planning Type” is “Unplanned” and “Source” is “Discrepancy”.

• On confirmation of the technical log, when any of the maintenance report associated to the current technical log is deferred, the system checks the deferral limits based on the type of the deferral limit and the deferral limit basis.

Note: The system does not allows you to defer the maintenance report if the threshold date (or) revised threshold date is earlier than the current server date, and if the threshold value (or) revised threshold value is less than the current parameter value associated to the aircraft.

• For the Aircraft Reg # - Work unit combination, the system deletes the work units from Central Planning pending tray

1. if the source of the work units is “Forecast” and the execution status is “Completed”, and

2. if the source of the work units is “Deferment Request” and the work unit execution status is  “Completed” or “Pre-Closed”

• Click the “Hold” pushbutton to hold the selected technical log.

Note: Ensure that the status of the selected technical log is “Fresh”.

Note: If the clock is running against the technical log, ensure that the clock is stopped for all the login users,

The system sets the transient status of the technical log as “Fresh-Held”.

The system updates the timesheet records with the details of the current system date and time as “End Date & Time”. Also, the system stores the “Update Mode” as “Manual”.

• Click the “Hold Release” pushbutton to release the selected technical log.

The system updates the transient status of the technical log as “Fresh”.

The system updates the timesheet records with the details of the current system date and time as “End Date & Time”. Also, the system stores the “Update Mode” as “Manual”.
