Select the “Create Component Record” link under the “Aircraft” business component.

The “Select Part” page appears.

Enter the following filter criteria in the “Search Criteria” group box to search for a part. Data entry in the following fields is optional:

Part #	The part for which the component IDs have to be defined (Alphanumeric, 40). You can enter the part number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the part numbers that are similar to the value entered here. 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 manufacturer 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
Base Part #	The base part number of the part for which the component IDs have to be defined (Alphanumeric, 40). You can enter the base part number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the parts whose base part numbers are similar to the value entered here.
ATA #	The ATA chapter to which the part belongs (Alphanumeric, 16). You can enter the ATA chapter number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the parts whose ATA chapter numbers are similar to the value entered here.
Part Classification	Use the drop-down list box to select the classification to which the part belongs. The system displays the options “Rotable”, “Controllable” and “Repairable”. Leave this field blank if you wish to retrieve the details of all parts, irrespective of the classification. The system leaves this field blank by default.
Mod Status #	The modified part number (dash number) or the engineering order reference number due to which the part has been changed (Alphanumeric, 15). You can enter the number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the parts whose modification status number is similar to the description entered here.
Part Description	The textual description of the part for which the component IDs have to be defined (Alphanumeric, 150). You can enter the description in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the parts whose description is similar to the description entered here.

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

Selecting a part for component ID generation – An overview

This page allows you to select a part number for which the components IDs have to be created. The part is already created in “Part Administration” business component, where a unique number, description and status are assigned to it. For each part number, a base part number is defined which will be referred while effecting modifications on the part. When a part is modified to meet a specific requirement, the part number changes accordingly. The original part number will then be referred as the base part number.

If you know the part number, you can directly enter it. Otherwise, you can carry out a search based on the part number, base part number, ATA chapter to which the part belongs, component type and description. Based on the search criteria, the system retrieves the details of the parts, such as the part number, description, base part number, component type and the ATA chapter to which the part belongs, in the multiline.
