Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline to select the component for updating condition.

Click the “Update Condition” pushbutton to update the component condition.
The system updates the component condition history of the component. The system also updates the component condition in the “Stock Maintenance” business component.
Whenever the condition of a component is revised, the system automatically updates the condition of all its child components to the new condition.
For those components that are in “Phased-Out” condition, the system performs the following:

Ensures that the component and all its sub-assemblies are in the “Phased Out” condition in the “Active” configuration.
Updates the status of the components and its sub assemblies as “Inactive”.
Removes all the pending work units of the main component and the child components from the pending tray.
Removes the next schedule dates of the work units associated to the component and its child components and updates the last performed date of the retirement work units in the “Component Maintenance Program” business component.

If the component condition is "Phased Out", the finance postings are made in the "Finance Book Processing" business component, only on the issue of the component (using the "Create Unplanned Issue" activity of the "Stock Issue" business component) with the "Account Usage" field set to "Scrap Account".

Note: For the transaction unplanned issue, the "Account Usage" must be mapped to "Scrap Account" in the "Account Rule Definition" business component.

When the component condition is changed to “Unserviceable”, the system automatically generates a warranty claim for the part # and serial # in “Confirmed” status. However, the effective date for the new condition of the component must not be later than the warranty expiry date consented to in the warranty agreement.
Updates the Component Condition History; sets the From Condition to Component Condition – Existing and To Condition to Component Condition – New.
If a component is reversed from its existing condition of “Phased out” to a new condition of “Unserviceable”, “Serviceable” or “Overhauled”, the system automatically satisfies any pending purchase request for the part # and serial # in “Authorized” status, if available.

To proceed carry out the following:

Select the “Generate Serviceable Certificate” link to generate the serviceable certificate for a part.
