Click the “Release” pushbutton to release the selected work units.

The system ensures that the CAPEX Proposal # exists for the visit package of expense type “Capital”.

The system ensures that the capital expense for each work unit of the visit package, which is the sum of material cost, material cost (capital), labour cost, facilities cost and miscellaneous cost (if any) associated with the work unit, is less than the proposal amount, if the current business component interacts with the “Asset Planning” business component if the “WO Status on Release” is set to “Scheduled” in the “Set Options” activity of the current business component.

The system ensures the following before releasing the visit package:

If the “Automatic Material Request Generation” field is set to “Yes” in the “Set Options” activity, the numbering type for the material request generation must have been specified in the “Set Options” activity of the “Hangar Work Order” business component.
The components identified for “Component Removal” or “On-Wing” job type must be present in their respective position codes for the aircraft configuration for which the visit package is applicable.
There should not be any pending instructions for the aircraft in the “Process Modified Allocations” activity.
The planning information must be defined for the part requirements in the “Part Administration” business component.

The system performs the following on releasing the visit package:

Updates the status of the visit package to,

“Released”, if all the work units are released and there are no pending deferment requests against the work units.
“Partially Released”, if only some of the work units are released, or all the work units are released but there is a pending deferment request against the work units.

On release of the visit package, the system releases even those work units that are associated to an inactive position code.
The system retrieves the component details for the position code-level code combination from the “Configuration” business component and updates the retrieved details to the work units involved in “On-wing” or “Component Replacement” jobs.
Automatically generates a material request, if the Option Setting “Automatic Material Request Generation” is set as “Yes” in the current business component.
Releases even those work units that are associated to an inactive position code.
Retrieves the component details for the position code-level code combination from the “Configuration” business component, and updates the details to the work units involved in “On-wing” or “Component Replacement” jobs.
The system generates the work order for the work units displayed in the multiline.
Generates a work order for each work center (The work units belonging to different work centers cannot be created under one work order)
Generates a work order for each component removal transaction.
Generates a work order for work units, which have the same DMR number reference. The discrepancies associated to the DMR number are also inherited by the work order. If work units having the same DMR number are associated to different (multiple) work centers, the system generates different work orders for each work center.

Note: The first work unit (based on sequence number) and all other work units belonging to the first work unit's work center will be grouped into a single work order (parent work order) and work units belonging to different work centers will be grouped into child work orders.

Separate work orders are generated for each standard procedure and the standard procedure description is inherited as the work order description.
The tasks and standard procedures will be grouped to different work orders based on the option selected in the “Set Work Order Generation Option” activity.

If “Create Work Order” field is set as “For Each Task”, one work order is generated for each task included in the visit package.
If “Create Work Order” field is set as “For Group of Task”, the work order is generated based on the option selected in the “Task Grouping Options” field.

If “ATA Wise” box is checked, one work order is created for the work units having similar ATA number.
If “Skill Wise” box is checked, one work order is created for the work units having similar skill requirements.
If “DSC Wise” box is checked, one work order is created for the work units having similar DSC number
If “Zone Wise” box is checked, one work order is created for the work units having similar zone number
If “Task Group Wise” box is checked, one work order is created for the work unts having similar task groups.
If “Plan Item Group Wise” box is checked, one work order is created for the work units having similar plan item groups and the plan item group is copied as the work order category.
If “Work Area Wise” box is checked, one work order is created for the work units associated to similar work area.
If “Task Type Wise” box is checked, one work order is created for the work units having similar task types.
If “Related Task Wise” box is checked, one work order is created for the work units having the same related Parent task.
If “Eng. Doc Wise” box is checked, one work order is created for the work units having the same Engineering document number as reference.

The work order for access panel tasks will be generated based on the option selected in the “Set Options” activity of “Hangar Work Order” business component.

If the “Create Work Order” field is set to “Independent”, seperate work orders are generated for each access panel task.
If the “Create Work Order” field is set to “Combined” and “Task Grouping Options” is set to “Task Type”, separate work orders are created for open access panel tasks and close access panel tasks.
If the “Create Work Order” field is set to “Combined” and “Task Grouping Options” is set to “Main WO”, single work order is created for all the open access panel tasks and close access panel tasks.

Note: If both “Task Type” and “Main WO” option is checked, separate work orders are generated for open access panels and close access panel tasks.

A material request is automatically generated for the parts required for the visit package, if the “Automatic Material Request Generation” field is set to “Yes” in the “Set Options” activity. The need date of the material request is updated with either the scheduled start date of the work order that is generated on release of the visit package, or the current server date, whichever is later. The system updates the material request details in the “Hangar Work Order” and “Central Planning” business components.
The system copies the incoming part number and serial number details that are identified for the replacement type “Replacement” and “Attach Only” in the “Update Component Removal List” page, as part requirement and preferred serial / lot information of the task, for the work order generated against the visit package.
The system checks whether the approval status of the work units associated to the visit package is “Approved” or “Not Required”. The system displays an error message, if the status is ”Pending Approval” or “Pending Cust Approval”.
Based on the option set, if the work order is generated in the “Scheduled” status, the system copies the sign-off information against each task and subtask as retrieved from the “Maintenance Task” business component and updates the same in the “Hangar Work Order” business component.
For customer-owned aircraft, the system retrieves the stock status for each part from the “Customer Order ” business component, if a valid customer order is specified, and if the current business component interacts with the “Customer Order” business component.
For owned aircraft, the system updates the stock status of each part as the preferred stock status of the aircraft, specified in the “Aircraft” business component.

The system updates the work order with the following details:

All work units that refer to Maintenance Report of type “Corrective”, will be grouped together and a corrective work order will be generated. All work units that refer to Maintenance Report of type “Repetitive”, will be grouped together and a normal work order will be created. The system will also update the “Exec.Phase” against each task in the work order, by retrieving the details from the “Maintenance Task” business component.
The “Status” of the work order is set to the status selected in the “WO Status on Release” field of the “Set Options” activity.
The “Authorization Status” of the work order is set to “Not Required”.
The released work units will have the reference of the work order number.
The task will be sequenced in the work order based on the sequence number specified.
The task requirements such as resource and parts are also copied to the respective task in the work order.
The standard procedure requirements are copied as the work order level requirements.
The earliest of all the priorities of the tasks, is taken as the priority for the work order.
The task relationship details are also copied to the work order.

Note: The released work order will have dependency with some other work order that is released.

The system updates the material request details as follows:

A material request will be generated for the parts required for the visit package, if the “Automatic Material Request Generation” field is set to “Yes” in the “Set Options” activity and based on the options selected in the “Hangar Work Order” business component and “Logistic Common Master” business component.
The numbering type and the status of the material request will depend upon the option selected in the “Set Option” activity of “Hangar Work Order” business component
The material class is set to “Maintenance” and its type is set to “Planned”.
The need date of the material request is updated with either the scheduled start date of the work order that is generated on release of the visit package, or the current server date, whichever is later. The system also updates the login employee code as the requestor number for the material request.
The system sets the visit package to “Released” status. The plan entries in the “Stock Planning” business component will be converted to firm entries.
