Returning unconsumed parts

This tab provides the details of the issued part details for all the Task #-Tracking # combination in the Aircraft Maintenance Execution # for which material requests have been created and is in “Closed”, “Pre-closed” or “Partially Issued” status. If for a part, multiple serial or Lot # are issued, each serial and Lot # is displayed as different line item in the multiline.

You can record the part consumption details, reconcile parts and return the unused parts that are pending for return, to warehouse.

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 "0" for the current Package Type in the “Set Process Parameters” page of the “Common Master” business component.

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

Tracking #	The tracking number of the task in the Aircraft Maintenance Execution #.
Task #	The code identifying the task in the Aircraft Maintenance Execution #, against which the part has been issued.
Issued Part #	The code identifying the issued part.
Issued Part Description	The textual description of the issued part.
Issued Serial #	The serial number of the issued part.
Issued Lot #	The lot number of the issued part.
UOM	The UOM selected in the Material Request document.
Attached?	Indicates whether the issued part is attached to a position code or not. The system displays the values “Yes” or “No”.

Enter the following:

Used Qty.

The actual quantity of part used while executing the AME #. (Integer). Mandatory. Ensure that a positive integer is entered here. The Used Quantity must be lesser than or equal to the Issue Quantity and must be lesser than or equal to the difference of the Issued Quantity and Returned Quantity (Both Excess & Core).

The quantity entered can be in fractions only if the “Fractions Allowed” field is set as “Yes” for the specified unit of measurement in the “Unit of Measurement Administration” business component.

You must not enter Used Qty. for the issued part # having the ‘Issue Basis’ set as “Returnable”.

The system displays the following:

Issued Qty.

The quantity of parts issued.

Reconcile Qty. - Core

The quantity of core-returnable parts that are expected to be returned to the warehouse, but not returned. (Integer). Ensure that a positive value is entered here. Example.

Enter the following:

Reconcile Qty. -Excess

The quantity of returnable parts that are expected to be returned to the warehouse, but not returned. (Integer). Ensure that a positive value is entered here. Example.

The value entered in this field can be modified only if the parameter “Allow Reconcile of Parts” is set as “Allow for Reconcile Excess” or “Allow for Reconcile Core & Excess” for the Package Type of the AME document, in the “Define Process Entities” activity of the “Common Masters” business component.

Reconciliation Remarks

Any remarks entered if the “Reconcile Qty-Core” or “Reconcile Qty-Excess” is modified. (Alphanumeric, 250).

The system displays the following:

Pending Core Info.

The information regarding the current location of either the issued component or the component pending for return against the issued component, is displayed here.

Example:

If the Component Replacement transaction with Source “Replace”, “Cannibalize” or “Swap” is available for the issued component, consider the following:

If the issued component is not attached to any aircraft, not available in any warehouse and not available in any of the transactions documents (like ‘Shop Work Order’, ‘Maintenance Return’, ‘Unplanned Return’, ‘General Return’, ‘Goods Receipt’, ‘Stock Transfer Issue’, ‘Loan Issue’, ‘Exchange Issue’, ‘Repair Receipt’, ‘Repair Issue’, ‘PBH Issue’ and ‘Rental Issue’), the system displays the text “Issued Part # : Issued Serial # is not attached to Aircraft”.
If the Issued component is available in warehouse, the system displays the text “Issued Part # : Serial # is available in stock in Warehouse #. Please update Reconcile details”.
If the issued component is available in any of the transaction documents mentioned above, the system displays the text “Issued Part # : Serial # is available in Document #. Please update Reconcile details”.
If the Issued component is attached to an Aircraft other than the one for which the component is issued, the following text is displayed: “Issued Part # : Serial # is attached to Aircraft Reg. Please update Reconcile details”.

Pending Return Qty.

The remaining quantity of parts that need to be returned after usage. This value is calculated using the following formula, and the ‘Reconcile Qty Excess’ entered must not result in the negative Pending Return Qty.

Pending Return Quantity-Excess = Issued Quantity - Used Quantity - Returned Quantity Excess - Reconcile Qty Excess.

Example:

Consider that a Core-Returnable Serial-Controlled Part # ‘P1’ is issued against an AME. Let the issued Serial # be ‘S1’. The part details are shown in the table below:

Issued Qty	Used Qty.	Pending Return Qty	Pending Return Qty Core	Reconcile Qty Excess	Returned Qty Excess
1	1	0	1	0	0

If the user manually updates ‘’Used Qty’ as ‘0’, returned the component and confirmed the return, the part details are modified as shown:

Issued Qty	Used Qty.	Pending Return Qty	Pending Return Qty Core	Reconcile Qty Excess	Returned Qty Excess
1	0	0	0	0	1

Now, if the user modifies the 'Reconcile Qty Excess' as '1' , as per the formula, 'Pending Return Qty' will be '-1' (i.e. 1 -1 -1) which is invalid. Hence modification of 'Reconcile Qty - Excess' in this scenario must not be allowed

Pending Return Qty. - Core

The remaining quantity of core parts that need to be returned after usage. This value is calculated using the following formula, and the ‘Reconcile Qty Core’ entered must not result in the negative Pending Return Qty.-Core.

Pending Return Quantity-Core = Used Quantity - Returned Quantity Core - Reconcile Qty Core.

Example:

Consider that a Core-Returnable Serial-Controlled Part # ‘P1’ - Serial # ‘S1’ is issued against an AME. Let the issued Serial # be ‘S1’. The part details are shown in the table below:

Used Qty.	Pending Return Qty Core	Reconcile Qty Core	Returned Qty Core
1	1	0	0

If ‘P1-S1’ replaces ‘P1-S2’ in Aircraft Configuration, Return is created for P1-S2 and its confirmed. The part details are modified as shown:

Used Qty.	Pending Return Qty Core	Reconcile Qty Core	Returned Qty Core
1	0	0	1

Now if the user updates the 'Reconcile Qty Core' as '1' , as per the formula, 'Pending Return Qty Core' will be '-1' (i.e. 1 -1 -1) which is invalid.

Enter the following:
