The system updates the status of the component work order as “Fresh”.

Note: This action is workflow-enabled. You can configure further processing of this document in the "Workflow Management" business component.

Note: If the piece part with ownership as “Customer” is specified for creating the component work order, the system ensures that piece part serial numbers or lot numbers belonging to multiple customers or suppliers are not allowed in the same component work order.

The system does not perform the above check for parts that are not serial -controlled .or lot-controlled.

The system performs the following on clicking the “Create Work Order” pushbutton:

• Updates the CWO details. If the planned start and end date and time of the CWO are later than the planned start and end date and time of the tasks associated to it, the system updates the earlier date and time of the task for the CWO.

• If you have not specified the estimated elapsed time, priority, primary work center details for the task of CWO, the system copies the details from the “Component Maintenance Program” or “Maintenance Task” business component. If the source document is “Engineering Order” or “Fleet Campaign Directive”, the system copies the details of the task from “Engineering Order” business component. The resource and spare part requirements for the task are also copied.

• For the tasks of the CWO, the system updates the “Planning Type” as “Unplanned”. The job status of the tasks and the CWO is updated as “Fresh”. If the “Authorization of the Work Order” field is set as “Mandatory” in “Set Options” activity, then the “Authorization status” is set as "Pending for Authorization".

• Updates the authorization status of the CWO as “Pending Authorization” if the “Authorization Reqd.?” field is set as “Yes” in the “Identify Non-Component Maintenance Object” activity of the “Aircraft” business component. Else, the system updates the status as “Pending Authorization”.

• Ascertains the part requirement for tasks to be executed for the component work order. (Note that you can see the part requirement details in the “Edit Part Requirements” page). However, if the Need Frequency attribute of a part for a task is set to “As Required” in the Maintenance Task component, the system does not include the requirement information for the part in the newly generated component work order (or in the “Edit Part Requirements” page).

• If the component work order is being created to resolve discrepancies or maintenance reports, the system sets the status of the discrepancy or maintenance report to “Under Resolution” in “Discrepancy Processing” business component.

• Posts a planned entry for dispositionable parts in “Stock Planning” business component if the authorization of component work order is set as “Non – Mandatory” in the “Set Options” activity.

• If the “Main Core Issue” field is specified as “Required”, the system retrieves the part number associated to the component and copies details of the part number to the part requirements estimates.

• If the CWO is created against a work scope, the system updates the status of the work units to “Processed” against the  work scope in the “Component Maintenance Planning” business component.

• If the CWO is created for discrepancies or maintenance reports, the system associates the discrepancies or maintenance reports to the CWO and updates the record status of the discrepancies/MR to “Under Resolution”.

• If the job type of the CWO is “Make” and if the task is identified as a standard task in the “Maintenance Task” business component, the system copies the part requirements of the task against the CWO-Task to make one quantity. The system estimates the total required quantity based on the make quantity given with reference to the part requirements.

• Defaults the resource group for non-routine task based on the values set in the “Set Options” page of the “Maintenance Task” business component for the Component Work Order execution document. Also the system updates both the Task Master with the Task Attributes & Resource Group Subtask Information & Execution document with the Task attributes.

Note: If the “Authorization of Work Order” option is set as “Mandatory” the system calls the workflow services for CWO authorization.

Creating component work order - An overview

This page allows you to create a component work order for carrying out maintenance work on the parts whose part type is "Component" or “Non-Component. The component work order is identified by a unique number within an organizational unit. You can select the numbering type based on which the component work order number must be generated by the system.

What you can enter in this page

• the source document type, source document number and its revision number, if the component maintenance work is triggered by the issue of work scope or the change orders like “Engineering Order” or “Fleet Campaign Directive” or any other document.

• the component replacement document, if the component is removed due to some snag reported during line maintenance.

• the description of the component work order.

• the job type of the component work order.

• the type  to which the component work order belongs.

• the category to which the component work order belongs.

• the user defined status for the component work order.

• the priority to be assigned to the component work order.

• the parent component work order and the precedence component work order for the component work order that is being created. The parent component work order can be a work order raised on the same component or a work order raised on the parent component of the current component. The component work order that must be executed prior to the current component work order, can be termed as a precedence component work order.

• the primary work center which is responsible for the component work order execution.

• the date on which the component work order execution will be started and the date on which the execution will be completed.

• the total time and man-hours estimated to complete the component work order execution.

• the extra cost apart from the cost of material, labour and resources that will be incurred on the component work order.

You can enter the various tasks that must be performed during component work order execution. You can enter the tasks directly or attach a standard procedure to the component work order. While attaching standard procedure, all the tasks associated to the standard procedure get attached to the work order. You can enter the task description and generate a non–standard task also in the  work unit details multiline. You can enter the following details for the tasks:

• the task number and the sequence in which the tasks must be performed while executing the component work order.

• the work center in which the task will be performed.

• the priority to be assigned to the task.

• the total time and man-hours estimated for the task completion.

• the date and time at which the task must be started.

• the date and time at which the task must be completed.

• the task description to create a non-standard task.

The system copies details of part and serial number to the part requirement estimates if the “Main Core Issue” field is specified as “Required”.

Copying details from existing Component Work Orders

This page also allows you to create the component work order by copying the details from an existing component work order. You can copy all the details or only the task details from the existing component work order. You can specify whether the component work order must be scheduled, the certificate of maintenance is required and the maintenance work can be done on the component when the aircraft is on the ground. If the component is under warranty, it can be specified in this page.

Create ESR

This page also allows you to raise an Engineering Service Request (ESR) for the discrepancies, which require the mechanic to seek engineering advice. Such cases might occur in situations when the person carrying out the CWO is not aware of resolving the problem encountered. The solution for the request comes in the form of an Engineering Advice Note (EAN).
