The system ensures the following on clicking the ‘Start Clock’ icon:
Execution Reference must not be available in “Closed” or “Cancelled” status in “Execution Record Details” section.
Work Unit # must be available in the “Work Information” section.
Discrepancy # / Work Unit # associated to the current Execution Reference #, must be available while working on the respective sections.
The Execution Status of the Work Unit must be other than “Cancelled”, “Deferred”, “Completed”, “Incomplete” or “Preclosed”.
The Execution Status of the task must not be “Routed for Repair”.
Login user must have access rights to the Current work center selected.
Ensure that the employee is not already logged on to the Indirect Work hours, for the current system date & time.
Ensure that the Clock Status is other than “Clock - Direct & Indirect” for the Discrepancy - Execution Reference # - Employee # combination and other than “Clock Direct” or “Clock – Direct & Indirect” for the WorkUnit # - Execution Reference # - Employee # combination in the “Record Employee Timesheet” page of the “Aircraft Maintenance Execution” business component.
Ensure that the leave is not in the Approved status for the From Date - Time and To Date - Time specified.
The system performs the following on clicking the ‘Start Clock’ icon:
Note: You cannot start the clock for the tasks whose ‘Job Type’ is “Off-Wing”.
If the ‘Start Clock’ has been initiated for any of the associated work unit or discrepancy, the system updates the status of the current working Execution Reference # from “Planned” or “Completed” status to “In-Progress”. Also the Execution Status of the work unit is updated as “In-Progress”.
For the given WorkUnit # -Seq # - Execution Reference # combination , if there is no ‘Actual Start Date & Time’ values available for the employees in the “Record Employee Timesheet” page of the “Aircraft Maintenance Execution” business component, then the system updates the ‘Clock Start Date & Time’ as the ‘Actual Start Date & Time’. If the Actual Start Date & Time values are available, then the system computes the earliest 'Actual Start Date' & 'Actual Start Time' for all records and displays the 'Actual Start Date’ & ‘Actual Start Time'.
When the clock is started, the system converts the server date and time into the local timezone of the ‘Station’ selected in the header, by considering the conversion factor defined for the ‘Station’, in the “Common Masters” business component. The converted date and time is displayed as the “Start Date & Time”.
Example:
Consider that the server is available in India and the user is in Adelaide, Australia. Let the server date and time be 31-01-2011 7:00 AM.
When the user selects the ‘Station’ as “Adelaide” and starts the clock, the system converts the server date and time into Station equivalent by adding the time difference ‘+4’ (Since Adelaide time zone is 4 hours ahead of India), and displays the ‘Start Date & Time’ as 31-01-2011 11:00 AM.
The clock cannot be started for the Tasks / Discrepancies belonging to the A/C Maint. Exe. Ref. Document, if one of the following conditions is true:
If the Customer Order #, Package #, Task # or Discrepancy # is on hold with a hold code which has the process parameter “Shop A/C Maint. Execution?” set as “Yes’ or “Till Estimation Confirmation” in the “Set Process Parameters” page of the “Define Process Entities” activity in the “Common Masters” business component.
If the Customer Order #, Package #, Task # or Discrepancy # is on hold with a hold code which has the process parameter, “Prevent Timebooking?” set as “Yes” or “Till Estimation Confirmation” in the Set Process Parameters” page of the “Define Process Entities” activity in the “Common Masters” business component.
If the Customer Order #, Package #, Task # or Discrepancy # is on hold with a hold code which has the process parameter, “Prevent Task Status Change?” set as “Yes” or “Till Estimation Confirmation” in the “Set Process Parameters” page of the “Define Process Entities” activity in the “Common Masters” business component.
