Ref. Position Code	The position code selected in the main screen, for which the list of interchangeable parts must be defined.

Note: The system lists the interchangeable part numbers that are already defined for the reference position code and reference part number, in the multiline.

Enter the following field in the “Interchangeability Rules” multiline:

Interchangeable Part #

The part that can be fitted in place of the reference part number, in the reference position code (Alphanumeric, 40). The part number must have already been defined as “Component” type in the "Create Parts Main Information" activity of the “Part Administration“ business component and should be in “Active” status. Data entry in this field is mandatory if the “Mod Status #” field is entered.

Ensure that this part is applicable for aircraft configuration.

Enter the following field:

Order of Preference

The preferred order in which the interchangeable part must be considered for fitting in the reference position code (Integer). Mandatory.

Note: Ensure that the number is unique in the multiline.

Mod Status #

The modified part number (dash number). You can also enter the engineering order reference number due to which the part has been changed (Alphanumeric, 15).

Note: Ensure that atleast one interchangeable part number is entered in the multiline.

Remarks

Any remarks regarding the configuration. When a remark is entered, then the position code is mandatory.

Note: The system generates a unique id for each record against the remarks. The remarks added are displayed in the “View Notes Information” page.

Check the box in the multiline if you wish to mark the interchangeable part for deletion.

Defining position based parts interchangeability rule for aircraft configuration – An overview

The parts interchangeability rule defines the list of alternate part numbers that can be placed in the reference position code, in place of the reference part number, if the reference part number is not available.

The system displays the reference position code and the reference part selected in the main screen. You can enter the interchangeable part numbers for the reference part number, the preferred order in which the interchangeable parts must be considered and the part modification status.

The system updates the part interchangeability rule details and stores the name of the currently logged in user and the current server date.
