Select the “Build Component Configuration” link under the “Configuration” business component.

The “Aircraft Component Selection” page appears.

Enter the following field, if you know the component ID for which the configuration details must be entered:

Component #

The component for which the configuration details must be defined (Alphanumeric, 90). Ensure that the component has already been defined in the “Create Component ID Information” activity under the “Aircraft” business component and is in “Active” status.

Select the “Build Component Configuration” link displayed alongside to update the configuration details for the component.
Enter the following filter criteria in the “Search Criteria” group box to search for a component for which you want to record/modify configuration. Data entry in the following fields is optional:

Component #

The component for which the configuration details must be defined (Alphanumeric, 90). You can enter the component ID in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the component IDs that are similar to the value entered here.

Manufacturer

The manufacturer of the Component (Alphanumeric, 45). You can enter the name of the component manufacturer in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system lists all the components for which the Component manufacturer names are similar to the value entered here.

Part #

The part number to which the component belongs (Alphanumeric, 40). You can enter the part number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the components whose part numbers are similar to the value entered here. Note

Base Part #

The base part number of the part to which the component belongs (Alphanumeric, 40). You can enter the base part number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the components whose base part numbers are similar to the value entered here.

ATA #

The ATA chapter to which the component is associated (Alphanumeric, 16). You can enter the ATA chapter number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system lists all the components whose ATA chapter numbers are similar to the value entered here.

NHA Part #

The number identifying the parent part, which is otherwise called the next higher assembly (Alphanumeric, 40). Note

Mfr. Part #/Mfr. #

The manufacturer part number of the component related to the component in the first input box (Alphanumeric, 40). You can enter the Mfr. part number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character.

In the second input box, specify the manufacturer number of the part. You can enter the manufacturer number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all components whose manufacturer part numbers and manufacturer numbers are similar to the value entered here. Note

NHA Mfr. Part #/NHA Part Mfr. #

The manufacturer part # of the parent part or the next higher assembly in the first input box (Alphanumeric, 40). You can enter the part# allotted by the manufacturer to the parent part in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all parts with parent parts whose manufacturer part numbers are similar to the value entered here.

The number identifying the manufacturer of the parent part or the next higher assembly in the second input box. You can enter the manufacturer # for the parent part or next higher assembly in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all parts with parent parts whose manufacturer #numbers are similar to the value entered here. Note

Maint. Operator #

To retrieve components associated with specific maintenance operator, use the drop-down list box to select the maintenance operator. The drop-down list box displays values based on the process parameter "Allow modification of Configuration for Components mapped to other Maint. Operator codes?” as set under the entity type Component Entry and the entity Component in the Define Process Entities activity of Common Master.

Process Parameter: Allow modification of Configuration for Components mapped to other Maint. Operator codes?
Value	Drop-down list box displays
1 for Allowed	The maintenance operators in the Active status as defined in the Common Master.
0 for Not Allowed	The maintenance operators in the Active status mapped to the planner group associated with the login user.

Note: The system lists all the components in the multiline, if all the search criteria fields are left blank.

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

The system fills in the following fields in the “Search Results” multiline, based on the filter criteria entered:

Component #	The number identifying the component.
Part #	The part to which the component belongs.
Mfr. Part #	The manufacturer part number of the component.
Mfr. #	The manufacturer number of the component.
Part Description	The textual description of the part to which the component belongs.
Serial #	The serial number of the component.
Maint. Operator #	The airline operator associated with the component.
Base Part #	The base part number of the part to which the component belongs.
NHA Part #	The number identifying the parent part, which is otherwise called the next higher assembly
NHA Mfr. Part #	The manufacturer part number of the parent part, which is also referred to as the next higher assembly.
NHA Part Mfr. #	The manufacturer # of the parent part of the component, which is also referred to as the next higher assembly.
ATA #	The ATA chapter to which the component belongs.
Manufacturer	The manufacturer of the component.
Config. Status	The status of the component configuration which could be “Fresh” or “Active”.
Revision #	The number identifying the revision of the component configuration with respect to the component configuration status.
Assembly Status	Indicates whether components are associated to all the active position codes in the component configuration. The system displays the following options:
	Complete – Indicates that all the active position codes with “Component Mandatory” set as “Yes”, have components attached to them.
	Dormant - Indicates that only some active position codes with “Component Mandatory” set as “Yes”, have components attached to them.

Check the box in the multiline to select the component for which the configuration details must be defined.
Click the hyperlinked component ID in the multiline, to modify the component configuration details.

Selecting component for updating configuration – An overview

This page allows you to select the component for which the configuration details must be updated. If you know the component ID for which you wish to update the configuration details, you can enter it directly. Otherwise, you can carry out a search based on the component ID, manufacturer of the aircraft, part number, base part number, ATA chapter number and NHA number. The details of the selected component, such as the component ID, part number, part description, serial number, base part, ATA chapter number and the manufacturer of the aircraft are displayed. If the configuration details have already been defined for the component, the revision number and the configuration status will also be displayed.

Prerequisite
