Recording direct part consumption details

In this tab, the mechanic can record details of part consumed as part of maintenance execution. The system generates a material request and creates an issue document for the specified part after the direct part consumption details are recorded.

Details such as warehouse number, zone / bin, stock status of the part, condition of the part, material request number, issue document number, issue cost, issue basis, aircraft registration number, model number, task number / description, discrepancy number / description, can be record using this tab.

Direct Part Consumption is allowed if the following criteria are satisfied:

Ensure that for the current Execution Work Center of Exe. Ref. and Part Type combination, 'Back Flushable' option is set as “Yes” in the “Identify Exe. Unit Work Centers” activity of the “Work Center” business component.
The specified Part # must have the 'Back Flushing Required' option enabled in the “Maintain Planning Information” activity of the “Part Administration” business component

Select the “Record Direct Part Consumption” tab in the “Record Part Consumption & Return” page.

This tab appears by default, on launch of the “Record Part Consumption & Return” page, if the process parameter ‘Default Record Direct Part Consumption tab in Record Part Consumption & Return page?’ is set as "1" for the current Package Type in the “Set Process Parameters” page of the “Common Master” business component.

Note: When this page is invoked from “Material Request” tab, the above default rule is applicable, only if MR # is not available. But if MR is available, the system defaults the tab “Return Unconsumed Parts” irrespective of the value of the process parameter.

The system displays the following in the “Record Consumption Details” multiline:

RS (Record Status)

The record status which could be “Pending Confirmation” or “Confirmed”. The possible statuses and the respective icons displayed are as shown below:

“Pending Confirmation” – ‘’
“Confirmed” - ’’

Enter the following in the “Return Part Details” multiline.

Exe. Ref. #	The code identifying the execution reference document for which the direct part consumption details are to be updated. The execution reference number entered must be valid as defined in the “Aircraft Maintenance Execution” business component and must be in status "Planned", "In-Progress" or "Completed". The process parameter ‘Allow direct part consumption?’ for the Package Type corresponding to the Exe. Ref. # must be set as “Yes” in the “Define Process Entities” activity of the “Common Master” business component. If Exe. Ref. # is not specified in a selected row, the system considers the Exe. Ref. # specified in the previous row. Help facility available.
Tracking #	The Tracking number of the task in the Execution Reference document. The Tracking # is specified, if the specified Task # (of different Seq #) is duplicated in the Exe. Ref. # document. The Tracking # entered must be a positive integer and must be available in the Exe. Ref. # specified in the corresponding row.
Task # / Disc. #	The code identifying the task / discrepancy. You must ensure the following: The task # / Discrepancy # must be valid as defined in the “Maintenance Task” / “Discrepancy Processing” business component, respectively. The Task # / Discrepancy # entered must be available in the Exe. Ref. # specified in the corresponding row. The Task # entered must be in status "Planned", "In-Progress", "Completed", "Deferred" or "In-Complete”. Discrepancy # entered must be in status "Under Resolution", "Pending Deferral", "Deferred" or "Closed". For Discrepancies in "Closed" status, ensure that the non-standard task corresponding to the specified Discrepancy is not in "Closed" status. If Task # / Discrepancy # is not specified in a selected row, the system considers the value specified in the previous row. Help facility available.
Part #	The code identifying the part. Ensure that the part number entered satisfies the following conditions: Must be valid with Planning Status as ‘Active’ as defined in the “Part Administration” business component. The Part # must have the 'Back Flushing Required' option enabled in the “Maintain Planning Information” activity of the “Part Administration” business component. For external aircraft, the entered Part # must have the option 'PMA ?' set as "No" in the “Aircraft” business component, if the 'Usage of PMA Parts' is set as "Not Allowed" in the “Sale Contract” business component.
Serial #	The serial number of the part. A valid serial number as defined in the “Stock Maintenance” business component, is entered if the part number specified is serial controlled.
Lot #	The lot number of the part. A valid lot number as defined in the “Stock Maintenance” business component, is entered if the part number specified is lot controlled.
Used Qty.	The actual quantity of part used while executing the Exe. Ref #. You must enter a positive integer. The Used Qty. must be specified if the entered Part # is not "Serial Controlled" / "Serial & Lot Controlled" as defined in the “Part Administration” business component. If Used Qty. is not specified on this condition, it is set to a value ‘1’.
Warehouse #	Use the drop-down list box to select the warehouse. The system lists all the ‘Active’ warehouses mapped to the login user and ‘Material Request’ transaction, and having the option ‘Allow Backflushing’ enabled in the “Storage Administration” business component. You must select a warehouse, if Zone # / Bin # is specified. The system leaves the field blank, by default.
Zone #	The number identifying the zone where the part is located in the warehouse. Zone number must be entered, if Warehouse # and Bin # are specified. The Zone number entered must be ‘Active’ for the Warehouse # as defined in the “Storage Administration” business component. Help facility available.
Bin #	The number identifying the bin where the part is located. The bin number entered must be ‘Active’ for the Warehouse #-Zone # combination as defined in the “Storage Administration” business component. Help facility available.
Stock Status	Use the drop-down list box to select the stock status of the part. The system lists all the ‘Active’ stock statuses mapped to the login user and ‘Material Request’ transaction in the “User Defined Stock Status” business component. The stock status selected must be valid for the Part # - Serial # combination. For internally owned aircraft, the ‘Ownership’ of the selected stock status must be defined as “Internal” in the “User Defined Stock Status” business component. For customer owned aircraft, system ensures that the stock status is selected based on the option ‘Parts Supplied by’ defined for the Category ‘Execution’ in the “Part Handling Details” tab of the “Edit Terms of Execution” page of the “Sale Contract” business component. This is explained below: Stock Status of internal ownership is allowed only if, 'Parts Supplied by' option is set as "Only MRO" (or) 'Parts Supplied by' option is set as "Only Customer" / "Specific Parts by Customer" and 'Usage of Internal Parts' option is set as "Allowed" Stock Status having ownership set as External is allowed only if, 'Parts Supplied by' option in contract is set as "Only Customer" / "Specific Parts by Customer". The system leaves the field blank, by default. Note: 1) The stock status ‘Consignment’ does not appear in the drop-down list box since Material Request cannot be created for parts with this stock status. 2) If you have selected a stock status that is not the same as the preferred stock status of the aircraft, the selected stock status must necessarily be an alternate for the aircraft preferred stock status in either “1 way” or “2 way” alternate definitions.
Condition	Use the drop-down list box and select the condition of the part. The system lists the values “New”, “Overhauled” and “Serviceable”. If the part number entered is "Serial Controlled" / "Serial & Lot Controlled", condition selected must be valid for the Part # - Serial # combination. For none-controlled parts, you must not select condition. The system leaves the field blank, by default.
Remarks	Any remarks related to the direct consumption of parts. You must enter remarks, if the set option 'Part Effectivity Check' set option is set as “Enforce” in the “Stock Maintenance” business component, and the entered Part # is "Conditional Effective" / "Not Effective" for the Aircraft Reg. #

Note: Ensure that at least one record is selected in the multiline.

Check the following box below the multiline:

Confirm Consumption

By default, this box appears checked.

Click the “Record Part Consumption” pushbutton to record direct part consumption details.

Note: You cannot record part consumption details for records whose status is “Confirmed”.

The system does not allow direct part consumption, if the Exe. Ref. # / Task # / Discrepancy # is on hold with the process parameter ‘Stop A/C Maint. Execution ?’ / ‘Prevent Material Request ?’ for the corresponding hold code set as "Yes" in the “Common Master” business component.
Main base validation for work center:

For Main Base usage (i.e. 'Usage Mode' set as "Online" in the “Configurator” business component), the current execution work center corresponding to the Exe. Ref. # must be Online ('Usage Mode' of Work Center defined as “Offline” in the “Work Center” business component).

Offline base vaildation:

For offline field base operations, system ensures that the aircraft and work center corresponding to selected A/C Maint. Exe. Ref. Document is Offline.

The system generates a material request for a selected line #. On successful generation of material request, the system creates a material issue in ‘Confirmed’ status for the requested part.

To proceed carry out the following:

Select the “Return Unconsumed Parts” tab to return issued parts.
Select the “Return Removed Cores” tab to return removed cores.
