The tasks which are grouped into a package in the “Aircraft Maintenance Planning” business component are retrieved in this tab and the start date and end date for the execution of the tasks are assigned by the supervisor. The supervisor can perform the following using this tab:

Note: This tab appears by default, if this screen is invoked from components other than “Aircraft Maintenance Planning” business component.

Note: The system retrieves the details from the “Aircraft Maintenance Execution” business component and displays the retrieved details in the Gantt chart. Only those reference documents that are in “Planned”, “In-Progress” and “Completed” statuses are retrieved and displayed.

Display Option

Use the drop-down list box to select the option for displaying the reference documents and tasks in the Gantt chart. The system lists the following values:

  • All - Select this option if you wish to display all the tasks whose Plan Start Date fall within the From / To date range.

  • Delayed Start - Select this option to display the reference documents and the associated tasks whose Actual Start Date / Time is greater than the Plan Start Date / Time. The details are displayed only at task level.

  • Delayed End - Select this option to display the reference documents and the associated tasks whose  Actual End Date / Time is greater than the Plan End Date / Time. The details are displayed only at task level.

The system displays “All” by default.

  • If parameter values are recorded against the Ref. Doc. # and if the execution status of the task or Ref. Doc. # is changed to “Completed” or “Closed”, the system updates the parameter values available against all the tasks in the parameter value history in the “Aircraft” business component.

  • For every change in the status at Task level / Ref. Doc. # level, the system updates the status log with 'Entity Changed', 'From Status', 'To Status', ‘Performed At’ (Station), ‘Changed by’ (Employee Name) and ‘Changed Date & Time’.

  • If the Ref. Doc. # is closed, the system generates a purchase request for the Removed Part # whose serial # is in "Phased Out" condition during confirmation of component removal and component replacement transactions for the Object Type “Component”, if any CR transaction is already recorded in the Ref. Doc. #.

  • If the operations type is “Flight Ops”, the system updates the compliance date of the tasks in the compliance history of the “Aircraft” business component, based on the option set for the “Ref. Date for Compliance against Flight Ops” in the “Set Options” activity.

  • If the operations type is “Repair Station”, the system updates the compliance date of the task in the compliance history of the “Aircraft” business component, based on the option set for the “Ref. Date for Compliance against Repair Station” in the “Set Options” activity.

Note: If the option setting is “Start Date”, the system considers the start date of the Ref. Doc. #. If the option setting is “End Date”, the system considers the end date of the Ref. Doc. #. If the option setting is “User Defined”, the system considers the compliance date specified in the “Record Work Unit & Sign-off Information” page.

  • When the Ref. Doc. # is closed, if the end date is left blank, the warranty date is updated depending on the flag set in warranty agreement for the component, or any of its child components in the “Warranty” business component.

  • When the Ref. Doc. # is closed, if the component is removed from the PBH assembly, the system updates the ownership as “PBH” and the possession status as “PBH” in the “Aircraft” business component.

  • When the execution status of the task is updated to Closed or Preclosed or Cancelled , the system will shortclose any material requests raised in “Authorized” or “Partially Issued status”. The system will shortclose the material requests in “Authorized” status, selective shortclose the material requests in partially issued status for the pending issue quantity / line item. While short closing a material request, any issue or Stock Transfer Issue documents created in “Draft” / “Fresh” status for those material requests, will be cancelled automatically.

  • When the Ref. Doc.# is closed, if the Expense Type of the Ref. Doc.# is identified as "Capital" and if the current business component interacts with the “Asset Planning” component, the system updates the Total cost calculated for each Task # as well as against the Ref. Doc.#, against the Capex Proposal # identified for the respective task # and the Ref. Doc.#.

  • When the Ref. Doc. # is closed, the system updates the Actual Cost and Total Cost reported for the Ref. Doc. # in the “Cost & Additional Information” tab page of the “View Execution Ref #” page of the “Aircraft Maintenance Execution” business component.

  • When the Ref. Doc. # is closed, the system posts the financial entries to the relevant account codes in the "Finance Book Processing" business component for each CR # for which the Source is identified as "Cannibalize" or "Swap".

  • If the Execution Ref # has customer order reference, the system checks whether the tasks are billable in the customer order, and updates the timesheet records as billable accordingly. The tasks are considered as billable if the “Billable?” drop-down list box is set as “Yes” in the “Customer Order” business component. Else, the tasks are considered as non-billable.

  • Auto Return of parts on package completion:

If the parts are pending for return for the tasks inside a package, the system creates a Material Return document on completion of the package, if the attribute “Auto Return of Parts” is set as “Required” for the Package Type in the “Edit Document Type Attributes” page of the “Common Masters” business component.

Scenario 1: Pending Return - Core

If core return parts and the parts which are removed from aircraft are available for return, then for the work center mapped to the corresponding task, the system creates the Return Document against the ‘Return Warehouse # - Cores’ associated to the Work Center.

Scenario 2: Pending Return - Excess

If excess return parts are available for return, the system creates the Return Document against the ‘Return Warehouse #’ associated to the Work Center.  Example.

Note: The Return Document creation happens only if the “Auto Return?” drop-down list box is set as “Required” for the Work Center in the “Associate Warehouses” page of the “Work Center” business component.

  • Compliance Date & Time Update:

If the 'Execution Status' of a task is changed to “Completed” / “Closed', the system performs the following:

  • If the “Ref. Date for Compliance against Flight Ops” parameter is set as "Start Date" in the Common Masters” business component, the system converts the 'Act. Start Date & Time' of the Task into its 'Server Date & Time' equivalent by considering the conversion factor available for the Execution Station of the task, in the “Common Masters” component. Example.

  • If the Ref. Date for Compliance is set as "End date", the system converts the 'Act. End Date & Time' of the Task into its 'Server Date & Time' equivalent.

  • In either cases mentioned above, the converted value is updated as 'Compliance Date & Time' in the “Track Maintenance Compliance History” page of the “Compliance Tracking & Control” business component.

Note: The update explained above does not happen, if the status of the task is changed from “Completed” to “Closed”.

  • Closure of Child Discrepancies for task closure:

If the process parameter "Mandate completion of related Discrepancies before closure of Inspection Tasks ?” associated to the 'Package Type' of the 'A/C Maint. Exe. Ref. Document' is set as "Yes", the system allows completion / closure of the task, only if all the child discrepancies associated to the Task are in terminating statuses i.e. “Closed", “Transferred", "Deferred" or "Cancelled".

If the process parameter mentioned above is set as "No", the system allows completion / closure of the task, irrespective of the status of the child discrepancies associated to the task

  • If the Execution Status of a task is set as “Cancelled”, the system checks for the existence of a duplicated task associated to the AME document, whose Tracking # matches with the Tracking # of the cancelled task.

    1. If one such task exists, the system updates its Execution Status as “Planned”.

    2. If more than one such task exist, the system updates the Execution Status of the first task as “Planned”. The Execution Status of the remaining tasks will be retained as “Duplicated”.

Note: The above update happens only if the 'Parent Task' associated to the 'Duplicate Task' has Execution Status set as "Planned" or "In-Progress".

  • When completion / closure of an 'A/C Maint. Exe. Ref. Document', results in auto-completion of the associated Tasks / Discrepancies, the system initiates the completion of the associated Discrepancies, before completion of the tasks associated to the 'A/C Maint. Exe. Ref. Document'.

Note: The above rule is applicable only if the 'A/C Maint. Exe. Ref. Document', is eligilble for completion / closure.

  • Completed Package status change validation:

For internal packages, the system allows you to change the status of the package / task from “Completed” to “In-progress”, only if:

  • The process parameter  'Allow re-opening of completed packages / tasks?' is set as “Allowed” for the Package Type in the “Set Process Parameters” page of the “Common Master” business component.

For external packages, you can change the status of the package / task from “Completed” to “In-progress” if:

  • The process parameter  'Allow re-opening of completed packages / tasks?' is set as “Allowed” for the Package Type in the “Set Process Parameters” page of the “Common Master” business component, and if:

  •  Invoice is not raised against that AME #.

  • Completed Order / tasks status change validation:

For internal / external work orders, the system allows you to change the status of the work order / task from “Completed” to “In-progress”, if the process parameter  'Allow re-opening of completed orders / tasks?' is set as “Allowed” for the Shop Work Order Type in the “Set Process Parameters” page of the “Common Master” business component. This is true only if the following conditions are satisfied:

Internal work order:

  • Part # / Serial # change has not happened in the work order.

  • “Job Type’ of the Shop Work Order is other than “Make”.

External work order:

  • Invoice is not raised against that work order #.

  • Part # / Serial # change has not happened in the work order.

  • “Job Type’ of the Shop Work Order is other than “Make”.

  • Refer to the topic “Task Status Modification Check”   for more details.

  • Process parameter dependency for component with empty mandatory positions: If the process parameter “Allow closure of Work Order when mandatory position(s) is/are empty for the main core?” under the entity type Work Order Type and the entity - all user defined Work Order types except '--All Work Orders--' is set as ‘1’/Yes in the Define Process Entities activity of Common Master, the users can close a work order for a component even if empty mandatory positions exist in the component. On the contrary, if the value of the process parameter is 0/No, you cannot close work orders against components with mandatory positions being empty.\

  • Pre-closes a Component Replacement task against which part return is pending, on the basis of the process parameter “Enforce Excess/Core Returns on order closure ?”defined under the entity type Shop Work Order and the entity User-Defined in the Define Process Entities activity of Common Master as illustrated in the next table

Process parameter value

Impact on task closure

1 / Yes

The system does not allow pre closure of the task, if the task has executed a component replacement transaction and part return is pending against the task.

0/No

The system pre-closes the task even if the task has executed a component replacement transaction and part return is pending against the task.

  • Enter the following fields in the “Update Work Hold” group box:

Note:  Hold cannot be applied on tasks which are in “Closed”, “Pre-Closed”, or “Incomplete” status.

Hold Code

Use the drop-down list box and select the hold code associated to the ’hold’.. Mandatory. The system lists all the active hold codes for which the “Initiation Level” is set as “Execution” in the “Set Process Parameters” page in the "Define Process Entities" of the “Common Master” business component.

Ensure the following:

  • The code selected in this field is not a code that has already been applied on the task.

  • All the tasks under a SWO is put on hold when that SWO is put on hold.

Note that only tasks that are in “Planned”, “In-Progress”, “Completed” statuses can be put on hold.

By default, the system leaves the field blank.

Comments

Any comments related to the tasks that are on hold. (Alphanumeric, 20). Mandatory.

 

Note: When a Package # is put on hold, all the tasks under the package is also put on hold.

Note: Hold details can be recorded only for those tasks which are in “Planned” and “In-Progress” statuses.

Note: You cannot update the task plan or report the ‘Work Actuals’, when the ‘Transient Status’ of the task is “Hold” for which the Process Parameter “Stop Existing A/C Maint. Execution?” is set as “Yes".

Main Base Validation

Note: Ensure that your role has been mapped for releasing a hold and “All Roles” is specified as the value for the parameter “”Release Responsibility Roles’ in the “Define Process Entities” activity of the “Common Masters” business component.
