The system displays “New Advice Note” by default.
Note: If “Response Type” is “New Advice Note”, the system will retrieve all the ESRs, which are not in the “Closed” interim status. This interim status is assigned to the ESR in the “Process Engg Service Request” activity of the “Engineering Advice Note” business component. The EAN released with this response type will be in the “Fresh” status.
If “Response Type” is “Referred Advice Note”, the system will retrieve all the ESRs, which are not in the “Closed” interim status. This interim status is assigned to the ESR in the “Process Engg Service Request” activity of the “Engineering Advice Note” business component. The EAN released with this response type will be in the “Released” status.
If “Response Type” is “Pre-closed Request”, the system will retrieve all the ESRs that are in the “Pre-closed” interim status. This interim status is assigned to the ESR in the “Process Engg Service Request” activity of the “Engineering Advice Note” business component. Click the “Search” pushbutton to retrieve the search results.
Click the “Search” pushbutton to retrieve the search results.

Note: At least one EAN must be selected in the multiline for release or for cancellation. Ensure that the status of the selected EAN number /EAN Revision number is “Fresh”.
Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline to select an EAN created as a response for cancellation or for releasing to the “Engineering Service Request” business component.
Click the “Release Response” pushbutton to release the EAN created as a response.
Note: This action is workflow-enabled. Notification messages can be sent as per the settings you have defined in the "Workflow Management" business component.
The system performs the following:
Updates the EAN # against the CWO # in the interacting “Component Work Order” business component if the Engg. Service Req # has a reference to CWO # .
Updates the EAN # against the HWO # in the interacting “Hangar Work Order” business component if the Engg. Service Reg # has a reference to HWO #.
Updates the EAN # against the AME # in the interacting “Aircraft Maintenance Execution” business component if the Engg Service Reg # has a reference to AME #, but no reference to the Discrepancy #.
Updates the EAN # against the Discrepancy # in the interacting “Discrepancy Processing” business component if the Engg Service Reg # has a reference to AME # and Discrepancy #.
When a new EAN is released
The status of the “Fresh” EAN is updated to “Released” and the status of the ESR is updated to “Closed”. The reference of the ESR number is updated to the EAN number and the revision number. If a “Fresh” EAN released has a previous version, then the status of the previous version is updated as “Revised”. The reference of the ESR number is updated to the EAN number and the revision number.
The system stores the login user ID and the server date along with the release details. The system updates the “Released By” field with the login user ID and the “Released Date” with the current server date. The system also stores the server date as the date on which the EAN was associated to the ESR.
When an existing EAN is released
In case the EAN released is a “Referred Advice Note”, the status of the ESR in the “Engineering Service Request” business component is updated to “Closed”. The reference of the ESR number is updated to the EAN number and the revision number. The system stores the server date as the date on which the EAN was associated to the ESR.
When the ESR is pre-closed without releasing EAN
The status of the ESR after pre-closure is updated to “Pre-closed” and the earlier EAN reference is removed. The pre-closing comments are available for viewing in the corresponding ESR. If the pre-closed ESR has an EAN reference, then the EAN reference is removed from the ESR. If the referred EAN refers to more than one ESR, then the reference of the pre-closed ESR’s is removed from the EAN.
When the EAN is released for a “Response Declined” ESR
In case the EAN is released for a “Response Declined” ESR, the status of the EAN is updated to “Released” and the status of the ESR in the “Engineering Service Request” business component is updated to “Closed”. The earlier ESR – EAN reference is removed and the new reference is updated.
To cancel an EAN
Click the “Cancel Response” pushbutton to cancel the EAN created as a Response selected in the multiline.
Note: This action is workflow-enabled. Notification messages can be sent as per the settings you have defined in the "Workflow Management" business component.
The status of the EAN is updated to “Cancelled”. The cancelled EAN is disassociated from its corresponding ESR(s). The disassociated ESR(s) will be available again for processing.
The system stores the login user ID and the server date along with the release details.
Note: In case you wish to cancel an EAN with the “Response Type” as “Pre-closed”, the pre-closing comments will be removed automatically by the system for the selected ESR. The selected ESR(s) will be available again for processing.
To proceed, carry out the following
Select the “Edit Advice Note” link at the bottom of the page to modify the selected EAN.
Select the “View Advice Note Revision History” link at the bottom of the page to view the revision history, if available, of the selected EAN.
Selecting an engineering advice note for releasing – An overview
This page allows you to select an EAN and release it as a response for an ESR. The selected EAN is sent to the corresponding “Engineering Service Request” business component as a response. You can carry out a search based on the engineering advice note number, the category to which the EAN belongs, the engineering service request number, the ATA chapter number associated to it, the user status of the EAN, the applicability of the EAN and its response type. Based on the response type selected, the system retrieves the ESR and its corresponding EAN details. Upon releasing the EAN, the status of the selected ESR is updated to “Closed” and the status of the EAN is updated to “Released”. In case the ESR has been selected for pre-closure, the status of the ESR is updated to “Pre-closed”.
This page also allows you to select an EAN that is a response for an ESR and cancel it. The ESR associated to the selected EAN is disassociated from the EAN and is available again for processing. The status of the selected EAN is updated to “Cancelled”.
On releasing the EAN, the status of the selected ESR is updated to “Closed” and the status of the EAN is updated to “Released”. In case the ESR has been selected for pre-closure, the status of the ESR is updated to “Pre-closed”.
Click the “Release Response” pushbutton to release the EAN created as a response.
You can also cancel the EAN created as a response. The system sets the EAN to “Cancelled” status and disassociates cancelled EAN from its corresponding ESR(s). The disassociated ESR(s) will be available again for processing.
Click the “Cancel Response” pushbutton to cancel the EAN created as a Response selected in the multiline.
