For sign-off at Task level: License requirements have to be satisfied for all applicable “Sub-Task-Skill” combinations, having ‘Sign-Off’ and ‘Approval Reqd. ?’ flags set as “Yes” in the “Edit Resource / Sign-Off Requirements” page in the “Maintain Activated Tasks” activity of the “Maintenance Task” business component.
2. For sign-off at Sub-Task level: License requirements have to be satisfied for all Skill Resources mapped to the Sign-Off Sub-Task, having ‘Sign-Off’ and ‘Approval Reqd.?’ flags set as “Yes”.
3. For sign-off of skill resource: License requirement have to be satisfied for the combination: Skill Code- Aircraft Model # - License #, in the interacting “Record Employee License Information” page in the ”Record Personal Information” activity of the “Employee Personal Information” business component.

Verifies if there is a valid Certificate for Sign-Off in the case of Employees without a valid License.
Considers an employee to have a valid certificate for sign-off if the following conditions are true:

1. Certificates having the following mapping will be deemed as valid for the Task Sign-Off : Certificate – Work Unit – Aircraft Model. Here, Work Unit could refer to either: Sign-Off Task / Parent Task of Sign-Off Task) / Root Task of Sign-Off Task. More.. The employee to Certificate mapping can be done in the “Edit Certificate Effectivity Information” in the “Maintain Certificate Information” activity of the “HR General Information” business component.‘
2. The employee has at least one Certificate as mentioned in point (i) above, in “Active” status for the given Sign-Off date. The Employee to Certificate mapping can be done in the “Record Employee Certificate Information” page in the “Record Personal Information” activity of the “Employee Personal Information” business component.

If the “Change status to Completed” drop-down list box is selected as "Yes", then for the tasks retrieved for sign-off, the system ensures the following:

1. There are no pending sign-off requirements at task / sub task level. (Sign-off status either ‘Signed Off’ or ‘Not Required’).
2. There are no mandatory parameter value updates pending at task / sub task level.
3. There are no excess parts are pending for return at the task level.

If the above conditions are satisfied, the “Compliance Date & Time” entered must be converted into server equivalent date and time, based on the conversion factor defined for the station of each task, in the “Common Masters” business component, The converted date and time must be lesser than or equal to the server date and time.

The system also updates the task status to “Completed”, on satisfying the conditions above.

The system does not allow the status of the task to be updated to “Completed” if one of the following conditions is true:

If the Customer Order #, Package #, Task # or Discrepancy # is on hold with a hold code which has the process parameter “Shop A/C Maint. Execution?” set as “Yes’ or “Till Estimation Confirmation” in the “Set Process Parameters” page of the “Define Process Entities” activity in the “Common Masters” business component.
If the Customer Order #, Package #, Task # or Discrepancy # is on hold with a hold code which has the process parameter, “Prevent Task Status Change?” set as “Yes” or “Till Estimation Confirmation” in the “Set Process Parameters” page of the “Define Process Entities” activity in the “Common Masters” business component.
If the sign-off for few of the subtasks of the task is pending.

Closure of Child Discrepancies for task closure:

If the process parameter "Mandate completion of related Discrepancies before closure of Inspection Tasks ?” associated to the 'Package Type' of the 'A/C Maint. Exe. Ref. Document' is set as "Yes", the system allows completion / closure of the task, only if all the child discrepancies associated to the Task are in terminating statuses i.e. "Closed", "Transferred", "Deferred" or "Cancelled".

If the process parameter mentioned above is set as "No", the system allows completion / closure of the task, irrespective of the status of the child discrepancies associated to the task.

Note: If a Discrepancy has a Task specified against it in the ‘Source Type & No’ control (Discrepancy section), the Discrepancy is considered as the Child Discrepancy of the specified Source Task.

The system does not allow you perform sign-off / void of Task or Sub-Task) / Discrepancy, if the process parameters:

'Stop A/C Maint. Execution ?' is set as "Yes" for the 'Hold Code' corresponding to the ‘Task’ / ‘Discrepancy’ / A/C Maint. Exe. Ref. Document’ / 'Customer Order'.
'Prevent new Tasks addition ?' is set as "Yes" for the 'Hold Code' corresponding to the ‘Task’ / ‘Discrepancy’ / ‘A/C Maint. Exe. Ref. Document’ / 'Customer Order'.

On completion of the task, the system updates the compliance details of the task in the compliance history.

On completion of the task, if the Job Type of the task is "On-wing" or "Component Removal", based on their maintenance type, the system resets the following component parameter values:

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 of the task is “Others” or “Retire”.

If the task for which the status is updated as "Completed" is the last task in the current Execution Ref #, the system updates the status of the Execution Ref # as "Completed".

The sign-off details of the task and sub tasks cannot be modified, if the ‘Transient Status’ of the task is set as “Hold” in the “Record Work Hold” page of the “Work Monitoring and Control” business component.

If the 'Execution Status' of a task is changed to “Completed” / “Closed', the system performs the following:

If the “Ref. Date for Compliance against Flight Ops” parameter is set as "Start Date" in the Common Masters” business component, the system converts the 'Act. Start Date & Time' of the Task into its 'Server Date & Time' equivalent by considering the conversion factor available for the Execution Station of the task, in the “Common Masters” component. Example.
If the Ref. Date for Compliance is set as "End date", the system converts the 'Act. End Date & Time' of the Task into its 'Server Date & Time' equivalent.
In either cases mentioned above, the converted value is updated as 'Compliance Date & Time' in the “Track Maintenance Compliance History” page of the “Compliance Tracking & Control” business component.

Note: The update explained above does not happen, if the status of the task is changed from “Completed” to “Closed”.

Auto Return of parts on package completion:

If the parts are pending for return for the tasks inside a package, the system creates a Material Return document on completion of the package, if the attribute “Auto Return of Parts” is set as “Required” for the Package Type in the “Set Process Parameters” page of the “Common Masters” business component.

Scenario 1: Pending Return - Core

If core return parts and the parts which are removed from aircraft are available for return, then for the work center mapped to the corresponding task, the system creates the Return Document against the ‘Return Warehouse # - Cores’ associated to the Work Center.

Scenario 2: Pending Return - Excess

If excess return parts are available for return, the system creates the Return Document against the ‘Return Warehouse #’ associated to the Work Center. Example.

Note: The Return Document creation happens only if the “Auto Return?” drop-down list box is set as “Required” for the Work Center in the “Associate Warehouses” page of the “Work Center” business component.

If the “Action” radio button or the “Sign-Off Status” drop-down list box is selected as “Sign-Off” or “Void”, and if the option “Approval Reqd.?” for the task is set as “Yes” in the “Edit Resource/Sign-Off Requirements” page of the “Maintenance Task” business component, the system considers that the employee possesses valid Certificate or License for the sign-off of the task, only if the following conditions are satisfied:

The Certificate # / License # must be mapped to the Employee # and Skill # available for the task / sub task, as defined in the “Employee Personal Information” business component.
Certificate # / License # must be valid for the current date.
The task # must be identified as Work Unit effectivity for the Certificate # / License #.
The Aircraft model # of the Aircraft Reg # identified for the Execution Ref # in the header must be mapped for the task # for the Certificate / License.

If an employee has signed-off at both task / level for an ‘On-wing’ or a ‘Component Removal’ job identified for an ETOP position code, the system does not allow the same employee to sign-off for a different ‘On-wing’ or ‘Component Removal job identified for the ETOP position code identified as reference to the previous ETOP position code. This is applicable if the “Action” radio button or the “Sign-Off Status” drop-down list box is selected as “Sign-Off” or “Void”.
