Note: If you leave this field blank, the system automatically updates the code of the warehouse identified for the part type in the "Create Parts Main Information" activity of the "Part Administration" business component, number of parts available in the warehouse and the unit cost of the part on clicking the “Edit Part Details” pushbutton.

If the warehouse is not associated to the work center, the warehouse identified for the part in the “Part Administration” business component will be stored.

For customer based CWO, the system compares the issue warehouse corresponding to the Work Center # with the list of warehouses mapped to the customer in “Storage Administration” business component. If the issue warehouse of the selected workcenter is available in the list of warehouses, then that warehouse will be considered for the CWO. Else the first warehouse available in the list of warehouses mapped for the customer in “Storage Administration” business component will be considered for the CWO.

The system displays the following fields:

Available Qty

The number of parts available in the warehouse.

Enter the following fields:

Substitute Part #

The number identifying the substitute part (Alphanumeric, 40). The substitute part can be the NHA part number or the alternate part number. Ensure that this part number is already defined in the “Create Parts Main Information” activity of the “Part Administration” business component.

Help facility available.

Note: You can modify the substitute part number only if no material request is raised against the substitute part number and Component Work Order and Task combination.

Substitute Type

Use the drop-down list box to select the type of the substitute part. The system lists the options “NHA” and “Specific Alternate” and "Not Allowed". By default, the system leaves this field blank.

If the job type of the CWO is “Piece part” and the part number, serial number and lot number details have been specified, the system sets this field to “Not allowed” by default.

If the job type of the CWO is “Piece part” and only part number is specified, the system leaves this field blank by default.

If the job type is not “Piece part”, the system leaves this field blank by default.

The system displays the following:

Issue Basis	The issue basis of the part, which is, whether the part being issued is core return, returnable or non-returnable.
Part Cost	The cost per unit of the part.
Requirement Type	The requirement type of the part, which can be “Specific” or “Normal”. If a preferred serial number is specified in the Edit Preferred Serial /Lot # information page for the part number and task number in the multiline, the system displays “Specific” in this field. If the part type of the piece part is “None Controlled” or if a serial or lot number has not been identified in the Edit Preferred Serial /Lot # information page for the part number and task number, the system displays “Normal”.
PBH?	Indicates the “Power By Hour” status of the part. The system displays the following: “Not applicable” – If the possession status of the main component is not “PBH”. “Yes” – If the possession status of the main component is “PBH” and the part number is available in the PBH part list of the supplier. “No” – If the possession status of the main component is “PBH” and the part number requested is not available in the PBH part list of the supplier.

Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline to mark the part for deletion.
Click the Delete icon in the tool bar above the multiline, to delete the parts selected in the multiline.

Note: You cannot delete a part that is issued against the CWO – Task combination from the warehouse, specified in the multiline.

If a part, with material type as “Main Core” is selected for deletion, ensure that the total required quantity is equal to the total number of components associated to the component work order.

You cannot delete a part with material type set as “Main Core”, if the “Main Core Issue” field is set as “Required” for the component work order.

If a part with material type set as ‘Regular’ and whose requirement type ‘Specific’ is deleted, then serial # identified for the part also will be deleted from the preferred serial requirements.

Click the “Edit Parts Requirement” pushbutton to update the part requirement details.

Note: If you have not defined the part requirement details, the system automatically updates the part details that have been defined for the tasks in the “Create Task” activity of the “Maintenance Task” business component.

Also on updating, the system posts a planned demand for the parts whose warehouse is of type “Dispositionable” in “Stock Planning” business component.

If you have added a part with “Material Type” as “Main Core”, ensure that the total quantity is equal to the total number of components associated to the component work order.

If the part added is of type “Main Core”, ensure the following:

a. The part selected must be of type “component”,

b. The part must not be identified as a requirement in “Regular” category.

If the “Possession status” of the main component on which the CWO is generated is not “PBH”, the system sets the stock status of all part requirements as “Accepted”. If the possession status of the main component is “PBH” and the part is covered in the supplier’s list, the system sets the stock status to “PBH”.

If the possession status of the main component is “PBH” and/or the stock status is set to “PBH”, the system ensures that the requested part number is available in the PBH list of the supplier.

Note: The system updates the warehouse for the part from the “Storage Administration“ business component based on Customer – Warehouse mapping, if the work order has a reference to the customer order. Else, the system updates the warehouse from the “Work Center” business component based on Work Center – Warehouse mapping.

Note: The system updates the stock status for all the requested parts, identified for the Customer Order in “Customer Order” business component, if the work order has reference to customer order and if the current business component interacts with the “Customer Order” business component. Else, the system updates the preferred stock status identified for the Aircraft Reg # from the “Aircraft” business component.
