Restricting ‘Off Wing’ tasks in packages
You can add tasks with job type ‘Off Wing’ to a package, If the process parameter ‘Allow Off Wing Jobs?' under entity type ‘Package Type’ and entity User-Defined Packages or Log Cards in the Define Process Entities activity in Common Master is 1/Yes for the package type. However, the system does not allow for 'Off Wing' tasks in a package, if ‘Allow Off Wing Jobs?' is 0/No.
Material Requests
The system sets Need Date of the material request on the basis of the AME Ref. # referenced task as illustrated in the table
If Plan Start Date of the task/discrepancy is a |
Need Date of the MR will be set as |
Current/Future date |
Plan Start Date of the task/discrepancy |
Past date |
System Current date |
In a situation in which multiple material requests are auto-generated by the system, the requests are consolidated on the basis of Need Date or the serviceable request warehouse of the task work center.
Implications of Work Center change on Material Requests
On change of work center for a task: if the process parameter “Auto-Short Close Open Material Requests that have Planning Documents on Work Center Change of Tasks & Discrepancies?” under the entity type Package Type and the entity “All Packages” in the Define Process Entities activity of Common Master is set as 0 / Not Required, the system does not short close any authorized material requests under the following conditions:
4 No authorized material issues available against the task
4 Stock Transfer orders, Stock Transfer issues, Purchase requests and/or Purchase orders found against the task
However, existing material requests will be retained or new material requests generated as explained herewith:
When Serviceable Request warehouse of the new work center is the same as the old work center
4 All Authorized material requests and Draft /Fresh material issues against the task will now be tagged to the new work center
When Serviceable Request warehouse of the new work center is different from Serviceable Request warehouse of the old work center
4 All materials requests to the od work center are short closed and related issue documents are cancelled
4 New material requests to the new work center with the Part/Qty details as the old material requests are generated
4 Remarks from the old material requests copied to the new material requests
if the process parameter “Auto-Short Close Open Material Requests that have Planning Documents on Work Center Change of Tasks & Discrepancies?” under the entity type Package Type and the entity “All Packages” in the Define Process Entities activity of Common Master is set as 1 / Required, the system short closes the available material requests against the old work center and cancels any related issues.
On change of work center at the package level: The system changes the work center of the Planned /In Progress tasks and Under Resolution discrepancies comprising the package. Material request updated for the tasks /discrepancies will happen as earlier explained under the topic.
Restrictions on Stock Issues cannot be confirmed, if:
The work center of the material request is different from the work center of the task/discrepancy
On confirmation of a material issue, any referenced Authorized material requests will be closed and associated issues will also be cancelled
