The components, for which the component work order has been raised, must not be attached to any aircraft in the “Aircraft” business component. The system also ensures that the condition of the component is not “Phased Out”.
Updates the condition of a component on completion of a CWO, on the basis of CoM requirement. If the CoM is not required for a component work order, the new condition of component is updated to “Overhauled” or “Serviceable” following the completion of the CWO. Conversely, if the requirement of a CoM is set to mandatory, the new condition of the component is updated only after the issue of the CoM based in the following scenario,

The “SOS Program Applicability” in the Common Masters component is set to "Applicable", the “SOS Applicability” in the Component Maintenance component is "All Removals"/"Assessed on Removals", and the “SOS Quarantine Flag” is ”Yes”in the Stock Maintenance component and “SOS Disposition” in Component Replacement is “Suspected Failure” for the part #-serial #,

The system resets the SOS Quarantine Flag as “No” and SOS Disposition as “No Fault Found”. However, the SOS Quarantine Flag becomes “Yes” and SOS Disposition “Unserviceable” for the part #-serial #, if the “SOS Disposition” is “Confirmed Failure” when all the other above-said conditions remain unchanged.

Updates the status of the component work order to “Completed” on the basis of the “Deferment of Discrepancy/MR” option in the Set Options activity. When the option is set to “Yes”, the status of the component work order status becomes “Completed” even if any associated discrepancies are in “Under Resolution” status. However, the status does not become “Completed”, if the option is set to “No” and, any discrepancy that the component work order has undertaken is unresolved.
Generates a stock return document for main core parts against “Component or “Piece Part” component work orders. These component work orders must have attained the “Completed” status from “In-Progress” or “Scheduled’. The “Auto Return” attribute for the part type of the issued part for the work center must be set to “Allowed” to facilitate automatic generation of the stock return. The system creates the maintenance return document in “Fresh” status applicable to issued warehouse. However, for customer-owned parts, the return document is created against the work center that allows stocking of the part for the owning agency of the customer.

Signing-off using Electronic Signature

Insert the smart card into the smart card reader and enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN) in the "User PIN” field.

Follow the instructions listed under the topic "Signing-off using Electronic Signature".

On successful sign-off

The system performs the following:

Changes the status of the component work order to “Completed”, if all the tasks in the component work order are in “Completed” status. The system signs-off the selected sub tasks. If the task is in the “In-Progress” or "Scheduled" status and if the "Record Completion" box is checked after the login employee has signed off all the sub tasks, the task status is changed to the “Completed” status. The sign-off date time is taken as task completed date and time. If all the task(s) in the component work order are in “Completed” status and all sub-CWOs for the CWO are in “Completed” status, then the system changes the status of the component work order to “Completed” and considers the sign-off date as CWO completion date.
Updates the status change of the component work order at CWO or CWO-Task level, in the CWO-Task status change history.
If the status of the CWO is “Completed”, and the certificate of maintenance is not mandatory for the selected component work order, then the system updates the configuration details for the selected component.
If the “Record Completion” check box is enabled and if “Sign-Off Reqd?” is set as “No” for the CWO-Task/Sub Task in the “Maintenance Task” business component, the system updates the status of the CWO or CWO-Task to “Completed”, only if the parameters are updated against the CWO-Task/Sub Task for which “Parameter Recording?” is set as “Mandatory” in the “Edit Parameter Reading Requirements” page of the “Maintenance Task” business component.
Updates the component parameters, such as “Since Overhaul”, “Since Repair”, “Since Inspection”, and “Since Shop Visit”, based on the CWO type.
Updates the percentage of work completed as 100 and calculates the duration as the difference between the task start date and time and the sign off date and time.
Updates the “Sign-Off Comments” in the Comments History along with the details including comment date, comment type and the code of the employee who entered the comments.
If the status of the component work order is updated as “Completed” and if part number or serial number is changed through engineering order, the system performs the following:

Retrieves the source document number from the “Engineering Order “ business component.
Updates the configuration change details to the configuration revision history in the “Configuration” business component.
Updates the modification status, part number and serial number of the component, specified in the engineering order, to the “Aircraft” and "Stock Maintenance" business components.
Retrieves the part number and serial number for main core return in the “Issue Certificate Of Maintenance” activity.
If the component with the modified part number falls under PBH agreement, the system updates the PBH agreement details with the new part number, in the “Supplier” business component.
If the new part number has no supplier part mapping details, the system updates the part supplier mapping details of the existing part to the new part in the “Supplier” business component.

Note: If the part and/or serial number is issued as “Main Core Issue” and is pending for return, the system updates the part number and/or serial number with the new part number and/or serial number in the return document against issue.

Updates the “Actual End Date” as the compliance date for the engineering order under the following conditions:

The Component Work Order refers to the specified work scope number.
Work unit of the work scope is specified in the component work order and it refers to a forecast number or it is available in "Component Maintenance Planning" business component.
The work unit available in "Component Maintenance Planning" business component refers to an engineering order.

For the CWO of job type “Make”, the system performs the following:

If the “Manufacturer Serial #” is entered in the “Piece Part/Make Serial #/Lot # Details” multiline of the “Create Component Work Order” or “Edit Component Work Order Information” page of the “Component Work Order” business component and if the Serial # does not exist for the Part # and Manufacturer Serial # combination in the “Part Administration” business component, the system generates the Serial # as explained below:

If the “Sl No Logic” is set as “Manufacturer Sl No” for the part # in the “Part Administration” business component, the system sets the Manufacturer Serial # entered in the “Create Component Work Order” or “Edit Component Work Order Information” page, as the Serial # for the part.

If the “Sl No Logic” is set as “Automatic Generation” for the part # in the “Part Administration” business component, the system generates the new Serial # by incrementing the existing Serial #, based on the numbering type selected for the part serial number in the “Part Administration” business component.

If the “Manufacturer Lot #” is entered in the “Piece Part/Make Serial #/Lot # Details” multiline of the “Create Component Work Order” or “Edit Component Work Order Information” page of the “Component Work Order” business component and if the Lot # does not exist for the Part # and Manufacturer Lot # combination in the “Part Administration” business component, the system generates the new Lot # by incrementing the existing Lot #, based on the numbering type set for lot number generation in the “Part Administration” business component. The new Lot # is updated for the Part # in the “Stock Maintenance”, “Aircraft” and “Component Work Order” business components.

Updates the new Serial # and/or Lot # for the Part # in the “Stock Maintenance”, “Aircraft” and “Component Work Order” business components.
For the Part # and the new Serial # and/or Lot # combination, the system updates the following in the “Stock Maintenance” business component:
