Defining piece part information for part configuration – An overview

This page allows you to identify piece parts for the part configuration. Among the various parts associated or fitted to the aircraft, certain parts are identified as piece parts, which are defined in “Part Administration” business component. Some of these piece parts need to be tracked, for various reasons such as their high value in terms of their price, warranty requirements and to identify parts that are fitted on a trial basis.

You can identify the piece parts only for part configuration that is already defined. You can specify the number of piece parts of each type to be identified for the selected part configuration.
