Other References

Any other reference based on which the work unit is specified for the work package (Alphanumeric, 255).

The system fills in the following fields on clicking the “Update Work Package” pushbutton:

Work Unit Description	The textual description of the work unit.
Work Center Description	The description of the work center.

Check the box in the first column of the multiline, to mark the work unit for deletion.
Click Delete icon in the toolbar above the multiline, to delete the selected work unit.

Note: While deleting a work unit in the multiline, if the “Resolve Relationship” box is checked, the system automatically assigns a “Finish – Start” relationship between the work units preceding and succeeding the work unit being deleted. If the “Resolve Relationship” box is left blank, the system deletes the work unit and the relationship with its preceding and succeeding work units. If the work unit being deleted has only preceding work units, or only succeeding work units, the “Resolve Relationship” box does not have any significance.

To illustrate, let us assume that Task T1 is predecessor to Task T2 and Task T2 is predecessor to Task T3. If Task T2 is marked for deletion, the system identifies Task T1 as a Predecessor to Task T3 and establishes a Finish-Start relationship between Task T1 and T3. If a relationship is already defined between T1 and T3, then the system retains that relationship.

If you wish to insert work units in the multiline and assign sequence numbers for them, select the “Re-Number” pushbutton to rearrange the existing rows in the ascending order of the sequence number. The system regenerates the sequence number in multiples of five, thereby enabling you to specify the sequence number for the newly added work unit.
Click the “Edit Work Package” pushbutton to update the modified work package information.

The system displays the following details in the “Record Statistics” group box:

Created By	The login ID of the user who created the work package details.
Last Modified By	The login ID of the user who modified the last modified the work package details.
Created Date	The date on which the work package was created.

Editing aircraft work package information – An overview

This page enables you to modify the details of the selected work package. Details such as the work package description, its status, category, execution type, primary work center, configuration class, total estimated duration, post clean-up time, preparatory time and estimated man hours can be modified.

Work unit details such as the work unit number, type of the work unit, job type of the work unit to indicate whether the work unit must be performed on the aircraft or on the components attached to the aircraft, and the work center where the work unit has to be performed, can be modified. You can modify the priority attached to the work unit and set the execution of the work unit as optional or mandatory in the work package. You can also specify whether the relationship must be resolved amongst the work units, if any of the work units included in the work package is deleted in the multiline.

The system updates the modified details of the work package and sets the “Last Modified Date” to the server date.
