Build Component Configuration – A summary of the activity

The “Build Component Configuration” activity allows you to create or modify the configuration details for the components. Components are the building blocks for the systems in the aircraft. They are items or equipment that are attached to a parent entity (which can be the aircraft or another component) and moves from one parent to another during its active life. A set of identical components may be grouped into a single addressable group called “Part” which is defined in the “Parts Administration” business component.

Inherit cabin layout from part configuration

• Go to “Build Component Configuration” page.

• Select the requisite equipment category from the “Equipment Category” drop-down list box.

Initialize component assembly

You can initialize component assembly by attaching components to the position codes in the component configuration, to enable easy tracking and interchange of the components. You can attach a component to the position code only when the position code does not have any other component attached to it.

• Use the “Initialize Component Assembly” page allows you to attach the components to the position codes for which the component fitment history has not been defined.

• Use the “Edit Piece Part List for Component” page to specify the piece part required for the component configuration.
