Click the “Get Details” pushbutton to retrieve the details of the requested part for the Execution Ref #, aircraft registration number and line number.

Note: If the preferred serial number and/or lot number is already specified, the system retrieves the serial and lot number details and component details from the “Aircraft” business component.

The system displays the following fields:

Requested Part #	The part for which the preferred serial number and lot number information must be recorded.
Stock Status	The stock status of the part.
Part Description	The textual description of the part.
Warehouse #	The number identifying the warehouse from where the parts must be issued for the Execution Ref #.
Qty. Required	The quantity of parts required.

Enter the following fields in the “Preferred Serial / Lot Details” multiline:

Seq #	The order of preference for the serial number and lot number specified in the multiline (Integer). Ensure that the sequence number is positive and is unique in the multiline.
Serial #	The preferred serial number of the part (Alphanumeric, 40). The serial number must be a valid serial number defined in the “Stock Maintenance” business component. Help facility available.
Lot #	The preferred lot number of the part (Alphanumeric, 18). The lot number must be a valid lot number already defined in the “Stock Maintenance” business component. For a requested part, the lot # you specify must be the same for all the records in the multiline. This infers that you can request for multiple quantities of a part from one single lot only. Help facility available.
Qty	The quantity of parts required (Decimal). This field is mandatory if you have entered a serial number and lot number. If the part is serial number-controlled, ensure that the quantity entered is ‘1’. The system displays ‘1’ by default, if the requested part is serial-controlled or both serial-controlled and lot-controlled.

The system displays the following fields:

Component #	The component number of the part.
Available In Warehouse	Indicates whether the part is available in the warehouse or not. The system displays “Yes” if the available quantity is more than zero. Otherwise, the system displays “No”.
Condition	The condition of the part.
Expiry Date	The date of expiry of the part.

Click the “Request Preferred Information” pushbutton, to request the preferred serial number and lot number.

The multiline displays a single record with the cumulative quantity of all the records, if you have requested for multiple quantities of the part.

The system updates the “Requirement Type” of the requested part as “Specific”.

Note: The system ensures that the requested part is serial controlled, lot controlled or both serial and lot controlled. The system also ensures that a material request is not generated for the requested part.

Note: If the “Ownership” of the Aircraft Reg # identified in the Tech. Log is "Customer", and if the “Part Control Type” is set as “Serial Controlled” or “Lot Controlled”, then system ensures that the “Owning Agency #” of the Serial # or Lot # entered here is same as the “Owning Agency #” of the Aircraft Reg #,
