In this page, you can update parameter values of a component. Tell me more.

Select the “Update Parameter Values” link at the bottom of the “Report Component Work Order Actuals” page.

The “Update Parameter Values” page appears.

The system displays the following field:

Date & Time Format

The format in which the date and time fields are displayed. This format is displayed from the "User Preferences" business component based on the login user ID. In case the format is not defined, the system displays the date format from the “Enterprise Modeling” business component by default.

The system displays the following in the “CWO Details” group box:

Comp. Work Order #	The component work order to which the component is associated.
Component #	The component for which the parameter values are updated.

Note: The system ensures that the component associated to the component work order is not attached to “Aircraft”.

CWO Description	The textual description of the component work order. Zoom facility available.
Part #	The part number of the component for which the component work order is generated.
Serial #	The serial number of the component for which the component work order is generated.
Work Center #	The work center in which the CWO/ task is executed.

Enter the following in the “Update Option” group box:

Task #	Use the drop-down list box to select the task for which the parameter details must be updated. The system lists all the tasks applicable to the component work order selected in the previous page. By default, the system displays the task selected in the previous page, and retrieves the parameter details of the task in the “Parameter Details” multiline.
Task Description	The textual description of the task (Alphanumeric, 150).
Sub Task Seq #	Use the drop-down list box to select the sequence number of the sub task for which the parameter details must be updated. The system lists the sequence numbers of all the sub tasks corresponding to the task selected.
Sub Task Description	The textual description of the sub task (Alphanumeric, 2000).
Parameter Type	Use the drop-down list box to select the type of the parameter to be retrieved, which could be “Technical”, “Attribute”, “Range”, “Consumption” or “Non-Standard”. Leave this field blank to retrieve all the parameters irrespective of the parameter type. The system leaves the field blank by default.

Click the “Get Details” pushbutton, to retrieve the parameter details of the component based on the update options entered.

The system dsiplays the following fields:

Update Mode

The mode employed for updating the parameter values, which could be “Delta” or “New”.

Enter the following in the “Default Details” group box:

Def. As of Date	The default reported date of the parameter (Date Format).
Def. As of Time	The default reported time of the parameter (Time Format).

Note: If the date and time fields for the parameters are left blank in the multiline, the system sets “Def. As of Date” and “Default As of Time” in the respective multiline columns. This type of updation is done, when several parameters in the multiline have the same updated date, time and same user who reported the parameter values.

The system displays the following in the “Parameter Details” multiline:

Parameter	The parameter number associated to the component, which is in the “Active” status.
Parameter Type	The type of the parameter, which could be “Technical”, “Attribute”, “Range”, “Consumption” or "Non-Standard".
UOM	The unit of measurement for the parameter.
Current Value	The existing value of the parameter.

Enter the following:

Updated Value	The reported value of the parameter (Alphanumeric, 32). Data entry in this field is mandatory if the “Updated Date” and “Updated Time” fields are specified. Ensure that the value entered in this field is positive integer for the “Consumption” parameter.
Updated Date	The date on which the parameter value was updated (Date Format).
Updated Time	The time on which the parameter value was updated (Time Format).

Note: If you leave the “Updated Date”, “Updated Time”, “Def. As of Date” and “Def. As of Time” fields are left blank, the system sets the current server date and time as the updated date and time.

Update Mode	Use the drop-down list box to select the mode on which the parameter value has to be updated. The system lists the following option:
	Delta – Select this option to indicate the new parameter value is to be added with the existing parameter value.
	New – Select this option to indicate the parameter value is overwritten by the new parameter value. The system displays “Delta” by default.
Remarks	Any additional comments pertaining to the updation of the parameter values (Alphanumeric, 255).

The system displays the following:

Last Updated Date	The date on which the parameter value was last updated.
Last Updated Time	The time on which the parameter value was last updated.
Parameter Description	The textual description of the parameter.

Note: Ensure that atleast one parameter value is entered in the multiline.

Click the “Update Values” pushbutton to update the parameter values for the component.

Note: The system updates the details of the parameter values, dates & times for each parameter of the component against the component work order, task and sub task combination. If the “Task #” is not selected, the system updates the parameter details against the component work order. If the “Sub Task Seq #” is not selected, the system updates the parameter details against the component work order and task combination.

The system sets the last updated date with the current server date.

Recording parameter values of a component – An overview

Depending on the maintenance activity executed on a component, there might be a need to update certain parameters for that component. For example, you might need to change the range, technical, attribute and consumption.

In this page, you can report those parameter values. You can also update the values for "Non-Standard" parameters created in the "Maintenance Task" business component. The system displays the component work order number and the component details associated to the component work order. You can select the parameter type for which the parameter value has to be updated.

The system displays all the “active” parameters that are associated to the component. You can specify the parameter value and the date and time when the parameter value was updated. You are also provided with the option of specifying the default updating date and time when multiple parameters has same updated date and time.

The system stores the parameter value and updates the current server date as the last updated date.
