Basics of using a typical web page

Using Online Help

This page allows you to edit the additional attributes for the package in different tabs. You can specify the package execution details like priority of the package, plan start / date end of the package, accounting details, etc. and incoming / outgoing flight details such as such as journey log number, starting station, Flight # & Leg #, and gate number. You can also record the customer order reference details, warranty details of the package and view the contract terms and conditions.

You can view the actual / estimated cost details and you can also modify the work center of the package. The modified work center will be updated for the eligible tasks. You can add / modify tasks in the package, modify the status of the task, specify expense type for the task, set the sequence number for execution of the tasks and re-sequence the tasks. You can also 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, etc.

  1. When the forecasted task is cancelled, the system displays an error message.

  2. When the non-planned task is cancelled, the status of the task is updates as “Cancelled” and that task is removed from the Package folder in the tree displayed in the left pane.

  3. When the ‘Block’ task is cancelled, only the Block task is cancelled and removed from the Package # in the 2nd and 4th Gantt. The Base task associated to the Block task will be present in the Package.

Work center update for AME / Task:

        The system updates the work center for the A/C Maint. Exe. Ref. and task based on various conditions as shown in the below table:

Conditions

The system performs the following:

Internal Aircraft

  1. If material requests are available in ‘Authorized’ status

  2. If material issues are available in ‘Fresh’ status for the tasks

  3. If the Issue warehouse of the modified work center is same as the issue warehouse  of the existing work center of the tasks 

Retains the Material requests that have been already created for the tasks.

  1. If material requests are available

  2. If material issues are available in ‘Fresh’ status for the tasks

  3. If the Issue warehouse of the modified work center is different from the issue warehouse  of the existing work center of the tasks 

  1. Short closes the material requests and cancels the material issues that have been created for the associated tasks of the A/C Maint. Exe. Ref. #.

  2. Updates the work center for the A/C Maint. Exe. Ref. # and  all the tasks.

  3. Creates a new material requests for the short closed quantity from the issue warehouse of the modified work center for the tasks associated to the A/C Maint. Exe. Ref. #.

Customer-Owned aircraft :

  1. If material requests are available in ‘Authorized’ status

  2. If material issues are available in ‘Fresh’ status for the tasks tasks associated to the A/C Maint. Exe. Ref.#

  1. If the Issue warehouse of the modified work center is different from the issue warehouse  of the existing work center of the tasks

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
