Note: In the event of modifying the already associated piece part number, the system displays an error message. Also, to delete existing piece part details check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline and click the "Delete" pushbutton.
The system displays the following field on clicking the “Edit Piece Parts List” pushbutton:
|
Part Description |
The textual description of the piece part. |
Enter the following field:
|
Quantity |
The required quantity of piece parts (Decimal). Mandatory. Ensure that the number entered in this field is positive. |
Note: If you modify the quantity for the already associated piece part, then the quantity should be greater than the quantity that is already defined, the system generates the position codes for the additional piece parts.
The system displays the following field on clicking the “Edit Piece Part List” pushbutton:
|
UOM |
The unit of measurement for the piece part. |
Enter the following fields:
|
Zone # |
The number identifying the zone to which the piece part is attached (Alphanumeric, 15). Mandatory. Help facility available. |

Trackable |
Use the drop-down list box and set the field to “Yes” if you wish to track the piece part details. The system provides the options “Yes” and “No”. |
|
Prefix for Position # |
The prefix to be used to generate the position code for the piece part, if the piece part is trackable (Alphanumeric, 6). Data entry in this field is mandatory if the “Trackable” field is set to “Yes”. |
Note: Ensure that at least one row is entered in the multiline.
Check the box in the multiline to mark the piece part for deletion or to enter the position information.
Click the Delete icon in the tool bar above the multiline, to delete the piece parts selected in the multiline.
Click the “Edit Piece Parts List” pushbutton to update the piece part details.
Note: The system generates the position codes for the trackable piece parts entered in the multiline. The value entered in the “Prefix for Position #” field is used as the prefix for the position code.

Defining piece parts for aircraft configuration – An overview
This page allows you to identify piece parts for the aircraft configuration. Among the various part numbers associated or fitted to the aircraft, certain parts are identified as piece parts, which are defined in “Part Administration” business component. Some of these piece parts need to be tracked for various reasons, such as their high value in terms of their price, warranty requirements and to identify parts that are fitted on a trial basis.
For trackable piece parts, the position codes are generated by the system with a prefix that is user-defined.
You can specify the number of piece parts of each type to be identified for the selected aircraft configuration. You can also specify whether the piece part needs to be tracked or not and provide a prefix for the trackable piece parts.
The system associates the piece part number to the aircraft configuration and generates the position code for the trackable piece parts. The system stores the name of the currently logged in user and the current server date.
The piece parts need to be tracked for various reasons such as their high value in terms of their price, warranty requirements and to identify parts that are fitted on a trial basis. You can specify whether the piece part needs to be tracked or not and provide a prefix for the trackable piece parts.
Set the “Trackable” drop-down list box to “Yes” to indicate that the piece part details have to be tracked.
Enter the prefix to be used to generate the position code for the piece part in the “Prefix for Position” field.
Set the “Trackable” drop-down list box to “No”, if you do not wish to track the piece part details.
