Defining piece parts for model configuration – An overview
|
|
This page allows you to identify piece parts for the model 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 identify the piece parts for the model configuration and specify the number of piece parts of each type to be identified for the selected model 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 model 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.
