Note: This field can be left blank if the part is “Shelf Life Controlled”.

Enter the following in the “Certificate Details” group box:

Certificate Type	Use the drop down list box to specify the certificate type for the part. The system lists all the ‘active’ certificate types defined in the “Create Certificate Type” activity of the “Logistics Common Master” business component. For example, you can define certificate types such as “FAA8130-8” or “JAA Form One”.
	§ FAA8130-8 – Indicates that the certificate has been issued by agencies affiliated to the Federal Aviation Administration, USA.

Note: It is mandatory to enter either the “Certificate #” or the “Authorization #” field, if an option is selected in the “Certificate Type” field.

System Tracking Ref #

A unique number, which can be used to track the certification details of the part (Alphanumeric, 40). Ensure that this field is entered for a part of type “Component”.

Note: If the part is “Shelf Life controlled”, then “System Tracking Ref #” should be left blank.

Warranty Lapse Date

The date on which the warranty of the part lapses (Date Format). Ensure that this field is not left blank, if the “Warranty Y/N” field in the multiline is displayed as “Yes”. This date must be later than the current date.

Note: If the part is “Shelf Life Controlled”, only “Certificate Details” must be entered.

Note: If the part is of type other than “Component”, the “Condition”, “System Tracking Ref #” and “Warranty Lapse Date” fields need not be entered.

The system displays the following in the “Parameter Details” multiline:

Note: The system retrieves all the consumption parameters, the corresponding UOM details and the warranty details if any, associated with the part, from the “Aircraft” business component.

Parameter	The parameter associated with the part number.
UOM	The unit of measurement of the parameter.

Note: The parameter value can be in fractions, only if the UOM has been set as ”yes” for “Fractions Allowed” in the “Create UOM” activity of the “Unit of Measurement Administration” business component.

Enter the following fields in the “Parameter Details” multiline:

Note: For a part of type “Component”, the “Parameter Details” must be entered.

Note: Ensure that all the parameter values are left blank, if the part condition is “New”.

Since New

Indicates the time, in cycles or hours, if the part is new or if the part has been acquired from another organization that has held the part in stock without using it (Decimal).

Note: Ensure that for a part in “Overhauled” condition, all parameter values other than “Since New” are set to zero.

Since Repair	The cumulative flying hours or flying cycles of the component, since its last repair in the shop (Decimal).
Since Inspection	The cumulative flying hours or flying cycles of the component, since its last inspection in the shop (Decimal).
Since Last Shop Visit	The cumulative flying hours or flying cycles of the component, since its last visit to the shop for maintenance (Decimal).

Note: If the part condition is “Serviceable” or “Unserviceable”, ensure that the parameter values for “Since New”, “Since Overhaul”, “Since Repair”, “Since Last Shop Visit” and “Since Inspection” are equal to or greater than zero.

If the part condition is “Serviceable” or “Unserviceable”, then “Since New” value should be greater than or equal to “Since Overhaul”, and “Since Overhaul” value should be greater than or equal to “Since Repair”, “Since Last Shop Visit” and “Since Inspection” values.

Note: Ensure that at least one record is entered in the multiline, if the part condition is other than “New” or “Phased Out”.

The system displays the following:

Warranty Y/N

The system displays “Yes” or “No” to indicate whether the part is covered under warranty or not, based on the warranty set for the parameters in the “Aircraft” business component.

Modifying the certificate and parameter details of counted parts in a physical inventory plan – An overview

This page allows you to record the parameter and certificate details for a counted part associated with the PI plan. You can select the line number of the physical inventory plan that contains the counted part for which the certificate and parameter details must be entered.

Note: You can record the certificate and parameter information, only if the part is “Shelf Life Controlled” or of part type “Component”.

You can record the certificate details, such as, the certificate type, date of certification, certification number, authorization number, system tracking reference number, and the warranty lapse date for the selected serial number or lot number of a part.

Note: If the part is “Shelf Life Controlled”, only “Certificate Details” must be entered.

You can also update parameter values, such as the time or cycle since the component was manufactured or underwent maintenance like overhaul, repair and inspection. You can modify the attributes of a component, such as CSO /TSO, CSI / TSI, CSR /TSR (Cycles or Time Since Overhaul, Inspection, Repair), through which the life and maintenance of a component is monitored. You can modify these maintenance parameter values for the part.
