The system ensures the following is true, if the Part Type is “Kit”;
The kit constituents are defined in the “Maintain Kit Composition” page to activate the part.
If the Part Control Type is modified to Lot or None controlled, the system ensures that the “Track Constituents?” box is not checked in the “Maintain Kit Composition” page.
If the Non-Stockable is set as "Yes", the system ensures that the “Track Constituents?” box is not checked in the “Maintain Kit Composition” page.
If the Issue Basis is modified to "Core Returnable", the system ensures that the “Track Constituents?” box is not checked in the “Maintain Kit Composition” page.
The system updates the “Planning Status” to “Inactive”, if the “Reference Status” is modified from “Active” to “Inactive”.
If the planning type of the parts is changed from “None” to “Min-Max” or “Reorder level”, then the system changes the planning status of the parts from “Active” to “Fresh”. The planning status can be changed back to “Active” only when the replenishment details are entered.
If you have changed a shelf life controlled part into a non-shelf life controlled part, the system erases all available expiry date information for all quantities of the part in the inventory.
The system automatically sets “Config. Control Basis” of a component part in accord with the value of ‘'Default Config. Control Basis for Component Parts' available in the Define Process Entities activity of Common Master. (The Config. Cntrol Basis attribute for a part can be defined/modified in the Maintain Maintenance Information acivity of Aircraft.) If ‘'Default Config. Control Basis for Component Parts' is ‘0’, “Config Control Basis” of the new component is set as “Part Effectivity”. Alternatively, “Config Control Basis” of the new component is set as “Config. Rules”, if ‘'Default Config. Control Basis for Component Parts' is ‘1’.
The system activates component parts only if mandatory maintenance information (ATA #, Component ID Numbering Type, PMA? and Phase-Out Policy) and part account group have been defined in “Maintain Maintenance Information” activity of Aircraft.
Alternate part definition between Part and its Prime Part
If the “Alternate part definition between Part and its Prime Part” process parameter in the Set Inventory Process Parameters” activity is set as Automatic (1) or blank, the system updates the alternate part definition for the new part in the Maintain Alternate Part Nos activity as follows:
Sets the prime part as the Interchangeable Part #.
Sets the interchangeability rules for the prime part/interchangeable part as “Two Ways”.
Sets the priority for prime part/interchangeable part as 1.
Increments priority by 1 for rest of the interchangeable parts.
However, if the process parameter is set as Manual (0), it is imperative that the user provide alternate part definition for the new part in the Maintain Alternate Part Nos activity .
Mapping of alternates of new prime part to the part
If you have changed the prime part #, the system removes the alternate part mapping between the alternate parts of the old prime part and the part. If "Alternate part definition among the alternate parts of a prime part" is set as "Automatic” or left blank in the Set Inventory Process Parameters activity of the Logistics Common Master, the system;
Makes the alternates of the new prime part as alternates of the part as well.
However, if "Alternate part definition among the alternate parts of a prime part" is set as "Manual" the system does not map alternates of the prime part to the part that is being modified in this activity.
The following example elaborates the influence of the "Alternate part definition among the alternate parts of a prime part" process parameter on the modified part.
The part P4 is created with prime part as P1.
The alternates of P1 are P2 and P3 with order of preference being 1 and 2.
If the “Alternate part definition among the alternate parts of a prime part" is set as "Automatic” or left blank, the alternate part definition saved on creation of P4 will be as follows
Part # Alternate Part # Order of Preference
P4 P1 1
P4 P2 2
P4 P3 3
If "Alternate part definition among the alternate parts of a prime part" is set as "Manual", the alternate part definition would be as follows:
Part # Alternate Part # Order of Preference
P4 P1 1
Deleting alternate part definition between the part and prime part on modification of prime part
On modification of the prime part, the system forfeits the alternate part definition between the part and its previous prime part, if the process parameter “On modification of Prime Part, delete alternate part definition between the Part and its previous Prime Part” under the category Part Administration in the Set Inventory Process Parameters of Logistics Common Master is ‘1’. However, if the parameter value is ‘0’, the system retains the alternate part definition between the previous prime part and the part
The system displays the following field:
Link Flag |
Indicates whether kit details, alternate part details, maintenance information, planning information, purchase information, sales information, other part number details, attribute details, part group details, UOM conversion details, document reference information are entered for the part.
