Basics of using a typical web page

Using Online Help

This page allows you to edit the discrepancy additional details including the user-defined attributes of the discrepancy. You can enter the engineering advice note number, fault number and specify whether the discrepancy caused a delay in the flight schedule. The details captured in this page may be used for reporting purposes.

The “Edit Discrepancy Additional Information” page appears.

The system displays the following:

Date & Time Format

The format in which the date and time fields must be entered. 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 & time format from the “Enterprise Modeling” business component by default.

The system displays the following fields in the “A/c Maint. Exe. Details” group box:

Execution Ref. #

The aircraft maintenance execution reference number.

Status

The status of the Execution Ref. #, which could be “Planned”, “In-Progress”, or “Completed”.

Aircraft Reg #

The registration number of the aircraft for which the Execution Ref. # is created..

Aircraft Model #

The model to which the aircraft belongs.

The system displays the following in the “Discrepancy details” group box:

Discrepancy #

The code identifying the discrepancy.

Discrepancy Description

The textual description of the discrepancy.

Note: The status of the discrepancy must be in status other than “Cancelled” for modifying the discrepancy attributes.

Record Status

The Record Status of the discrepancy #, which could be “Under Resolution” , “Pending Deferral” , “Deferred” , “Closed” , “Transferred” or “Cancelled”.

Discrepancy Category

Use the drop-down list box to specify the discrepancy category. The system lists all the active codes that are defined for the ‘Discrepancy Category’ attribute in the “Maintain Discrepancy / CR Attributes” activity of the “Common Masters” business component.

The system leaves the field blank, by default.

Priority

Use the drop-down list to specify the priority for the package. The system lists all the ‘Active’ priority descriptions defined in the “Define Process Entities” activity of the “Common Masters” business component.

By default, the system displays the value saved against the respective Aircraft Maint. Exe. Ref. #. If no priority code is saved for the Aircraft Maint. Exe. Ref. #, the system leaves the field blank by default.

Tracking Status

Use the drop-down list box to assign a tracking status to the discrepancy. The system displays all the active codes that are defined under the “Tracking Status” attribute in the “Maintain Discrepancy / CR Attributes” activity of the “Common Masters” business component.

By default, the system leaves this field blank.

Deferral Task #

The code identifying the task that is to be carried out to ensure that the reported discrepancy is processed or inspected before deferral (Alphanumeric, 30). The task must be a valid task defined in the “Maintenance Task” business component.

Deferral task can be entered only for  the discrepancies which are  in “Pending deferral” or “Deferred”  status .

Note: If a valid MEL / CDL Item # reference exists for the specified discrepancy having record status “Pending Deferral” or “Deferred”, and if the MEL / CDL Item # has a Deferral Task # defined in the “Configuration” business component, then the system retrieves and displays that Deferral Task in the above field.

Caused Delay?

Use the drop-down list box to indicate whether the discrepancy caused a delay in the flight schedule. The system lists the following values:

  • Yes - Select this option to indicate that the discrepancy has caused a delay in the flight schedule.

  • No - Select this option to indicate that discrepancy has not caused a delay in the flight schedule.

The system displays “No” by default.

Fault #

The fault code that is applicable for the discrepancy being reported. (Alphanumeric, 25)

Help facility available.

The system displays the following field:

ESR #

The number identifying the engineering service request that contains the Aircraft model # as the reference document detail. The latest ESR # for the entered EAN # will be retrieved and displayed here.

EAN #

The number identifying the engineering advice note, which is a response to the problem reported in the engineering service request. (Alphanumeric, 40).

Ensure that the EAN # entered is applicable to the Aircraft Reg # of the current Exe. Ref #.

Help facility available.

Hold Item #

The tracking number of the deferral against which the discrepancy is reported.

Discrepancy Attributes

Use the drop-down list to specify the attribute for the discrepancy. The system lists all the values defined for the Quick Code Type “User Defined Detail1” in the “Create Quick Codes” activity of the “Flight Log” business component.

The system leaves the field blank by default.

Applicable?

Use the drop-down list box to specify the applicability of the discrepancy. The system lists all the values defined for the Quick Code Type “User Defined Detail1” in the “Create Quick Codes” activity of the “Flight Log” business component.

The system leaves the field blank by default.

User Defined Value 1

Any user-defined value regarding the discrepancy. (Alphanumeric, 255).

User Defined Value 2

Any user-defined value regarding the discrepancy. (Alphanumeric, 255).

Remarks

Any additional remarks pertaining to the discrepancy. (Alphanumeric, 255)

File Name

The name of the file related to the discrepancy additional information. (Alphanumeric, 256)

Help facility available.

The system copies the deferral task # and the related tasks defined in the 'Maintenance Task” business component to the “Work Unit Information” section of the current Execution ref. #. .

Note: If the same deferral task # is already available in the “Work Unit Information” section of the current Exe. Ref. #  and if it is in status other than “Cancelled”, “Closed” or “Pre-closed”, then the system does not copy the deferral task # to the “Work Unit Information” section of the current Execution ref. #.

The system displays the following fields in the “Record Statistics” group box:

Last Modified By

The employee code of the login user who last modified the Aircraft Maintenance Execution Reference .

Last Modified Date

The date on which the Aircraft Maintenance Execution Reference  was last modified.

Note: The system updates the “Last Modified By” with the employee code of the login user and the “Last Modified Date” with the system date.

Note: The system displays an error message if any concurrent user attempts to modify the Execution Reference details.
