By default, the system leaves the filed blank.

Click the “Edit Component Record" pushbutton to update the modified details of the component.
The system updates the “Component Possession Status” field as “PBH”, if the aircraft to which the component is attached, is mapped as “PBH” in the supplier master, and if part number and serial number combination is listed as PBH part in the “Supplier” business component.
When user changes the Operator code for the component through “Edit Component Record”, “Manage Goods Receipt” or “Inspect Parts” page, the system inherits the configuration as follows:

Condition	System performs
Position Code and Ref Part # combination is different for the new Part # - Operator Code	Changes the existing positions available for the Part # - Operator code combination as ‘Inactive’ Inserts the positions available in the Part and current Operator code.
Position Code and Ref Part # combination is same for the new Part # - Operator code combination	Updates the Ref. Quantity from configuration available in the Part and new Operator code combination. Retains the Position code status as “Active”.
If configuration does not exist for the Part and modified Operator code	Updates the configuration for the part and blank Operator code, otherwise inactivates the previous position code alone

On modification of Record Status of a component as ‘Inactive’, updates Record Status of attached sub-components and assemblies in Configuration as 'Inactive', if the process parameter 'Update Record Status of the attached Sub-components as "Inactive" upon inactivation of Parent Component Record?' is 1/Yes in the Define Process Parameters activity of Common Master.
On modification of Record Status of a component as ‘Active’, updates Record Status of all attached components and assemblies in Configuration as 'Active', If the process parameter 'Update Record Status of the attached Components as "Active" upon activation of an inactive Parent Component Record?' under entity type Component Entry and entity Component is 1/Yes in the Define Process Parameters activity of Common Master.
Engineering document impact: The system updates the serial details in those engineering documents that are effective to the component. Further, if the component is impacted by any Process Change Request, this document is also updated with serial #s on activation.
