For the task selected in the parent work order, the system will not allow automatic movement of the related tasks to the sub work order.
For customer based hangar work orders, if any work unit is newly added in the “Work Unit Details” multiline for the specified aircraft registration number, and if the Authorization Status of the Work Unit is “Pending Customer Authorization”, then the system updates the newly added work unit as the unplanned work unit along with the Authorization Comments identified (If any) in the “Customer Order” business component for approval.
On creation of the sub-work order, the system posts the finance information stored against the parent work order in the corresponding finance books.
The system reserves the required parts whose planning type is “Disposition”. The system copies the part and resource requirements for the tasks, in the multiline. The planning information for parts is already defined in the “Part Administration” business component. The system stores the name of the login user and the current server date as the created date.
If the replacement type is set to “Attach Only”, the system ignores the “Part #”, “Serial #” and “Component #” specified.
If the replacement type is set to “Replacement”, the system copies the part number and serial number to the “Edit Part Requirements” page.
If the replacement type is set to “Restoration” or “Remove Only”, the system removes the part number and serial number in the “Edit Part Requirements” page.
If the “Task #” field is left blank and the task description is entered, the system creates a non-standard task and updates the entered task description as the non-standard task description, the resource group to “Mechanic and Inspector”, execution phase to “Regular” and updates the details in the “Maintenance Task” business component.
If the work order has reference to customer order and if the current business component interacts with the “Customer Order” business component, then the system updates the stock status for all the requested parts, based on the Preferred Stock Status identified for the reference Customer Order in “Customer Order” business component .. Else, the system updates the preferred stock status identified for the Aircraft Reg # from the “Aircraft” business component.
For all the parts with part type set as “PBH”, the system updates the stock status to “PBH” only if the following conditions are satisfied.
a) The part is identified as PBH part for the supplier who is mapped to the aircraft specified in the “Aircraft Reg #” field.
b) The part and also its higher assembly part are identified as PBH object list for a supplier.
c) The component that is requested for a “Component Removal” job or “Onwing” job, along with its higher assemblies, is identified as PBH for the supplier.
For all the other part types, the system updates the stock status as “Accepted”.
If the work order has reference to the customer order, the system updates the warehouse from the “Customer Order” business component based on Customer – Warehouse mapping Else updates the warehouse from the “Work Center” business component based on Work Center – Warehouse mapping
The system maintains the account code and the cost center code details for each of the work orders, by retrieving the information from the “Cost Center Rule Definition” business component
The system creates a non-standard task, if you do not specify the task #. By default, a sub-task named as the task description you specify is created for the non-standard task. The “Exec. Phase” of the hangar work order is updated to “Regular”.
The system updates attributes such as, Task Description, Task Category, Work Center #, Execution Phase, Est. Man Hrs, Est. Elapsed Time and, ATA in the Task Master for the non- standard task pertinent to the hangar work order execution document.
