Review Discrepancy Records

This activity allows you to review the discrepancies that are identified during the execution of line maintenance activities on the aircraft which requires additional approval for the specific Deferral Types. Additional approval of discrepancies will be carried out in this activity.

Select the “Review Discrepancy Record” link at the bottom of the “Line Planning and Control” business component.

The “Review Discrepancy Records” 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 and time format from the “Enterprise Modeling” business component by default.

Enter the following details in the “Search Criteria” group box:

Record Status	Use the drop-down list box to select the record status of the discrepancy, which can be one of the following: “Fresh” - if the discrepancy is in “Fresh” status. “Pending” – when the document where the discrepancy is recorded has been confirmed. “Pending Deferral” – when the discrepancy has been recorded in a maintenance report but the report has not yet been confirmed. “Under Resolution” - When a discrepancy is included in a resolution document such as Execution Reference or Work Order. “Deferred” - when the maintenance report is deferred and confirmed. “Retired” – when the discrepancy in the maintenance report is retired. “Transferred” - when the maintenance report is transferred from one component to another. “Cancelled” – when the discrepancy is cancelled. “Closed” – when the discrepancy has been resolved and closed. By default, the system sets this field to “Closed”.
Additional Approval ?	Use the drop-down list box to select the discrepancies based on whether additional approval is required for the discrepancy. The system lists the following values: Approved - Select this option to retrieve the discrepancies that have been approved. The system retrieves those discrepancies for which the attribute “Addl. Approval Required?” for the Deferral Type is set as “Yes” in the “Configure Document Attributes” activity of the “Common Masters” business component. Required - Select this option to retrieve the discrepancies for which additional approval is required. The system retrieves those discrepancies for which the attribute “Addl. Approval Required?” for the Deferral Type is set as “Yes” in the “Configure Document Attributes” activity. Not Required - Select this option to retrieve the discrepancies for which additional approval is not required. The system retrieves those discrepancies for which the attribute “Addl. Approval Required?” for the Deferral Type is set as “No” in the “Configure Document Attributes” activity. By default, the system sets this field to “Required”.
Discrepancy Type	Use the drop-down list box to select the discrepancy type. The system lists the following values: PIREP - Indicates that the discrepancy has been reported by the pilot while recording the journey log. MIREP - Indicates that the discrepancy has been reported by the mechanic while raising an execution reference. Cabin – Indicates that the discrepancy has been reported by the cabin crew. Non-Routine – Indicates that the discrepancy reported is a non-routine discrepancy reported by the mechanics at the time of execution The system defaults blank on page launch.
Deferral Type	Use the drop-down list box to select the deferral type. The combo is loaded with all the deferral types in active status defined in the “Common Masters” business component. The system defaults blank on page launch.
Reported From & To Date	The date from which and the date until which the discrepancies were reported.
