In this tab, you can add / modify routine / non-routine tasks in the package, modify the status of the task and specify the expense type for the task. You can generate the sequence number for execution of the tasks and re-sequence the tasks.

The system displays the following field:

Currency

The base currency in which the cost is displayed, as defined in the “Organization Setup” business component.

Filter Criteria

Workscoping Items

Select this radio button to retrieve and display all the tasks for which Workscoping property is set as 'Yes' for their WBS Code and root task if there are multiple workscoping tasks with a hierarchy defined.

Additional Items

Select this radio button to retrieve and display all the non-routine tasks that have been added in the Execution phase of the AME. The system also displays all the Non-Standard tasks which are associated with the Discrepancies along with the other tasks.

Detailed Items

Select this radio button to retrieve and display all the tasks  for which Execution Operations is set as 'Yes' for their WBS Code.  The system also displays all the Non-Standard Tasks and Discrepancies regardless of their WBS Code.

Note: On page launch or on clicking the “Task Details” tab, the radio buttons are defaulted selectively based on whether the process parameter 'Default Filter Criteria in the Task Details tab of Edit Package Additional Information' under the Entity '--All Packages--' of the Entity Type "Package Type" is set as “Workscoping Items”, “Additional Items” or “Detailed Items”. The process parameter is defined in the “Set Process Parameters” page of the “Common Master” business component.

Task Details

The system displays the following fields in the multiline:

TS

Indicates the status of the task. The possible status and the icons are shown as below:

  1. '’ - Draft

  2. '‘  - Fresh

  3. '  - Planned

  4. '  -  In-Progress

  5. ''  - Completed

  6. '  - Pre-closed

  7. ''  - Closed

  8. '  - Duplicate

  9. '  - Cancelled

  10. '‘  - Deferred

  11. ''  - Incomplete

You cannot modify the details of the task with terminating status i.e. “Completed”, “Pre-closed”, “Closed”.

HS

The hold status of the task.

ES

Indicates the estimation status of the task, which could be “NR” (Not Required), “PE” (Pending Estimates), “PC” (Pending Confirmation), “CF” (Confirmed), “RE” (Released Estimates) or “RER” (Re-estimates Required).

Seq #

The sequence in which the task must be executed in the package. A positive integer must be entered here. The sequence entered must be unique and must not be repeated for the task / discrepancy in a package.

On clicking “Update Details” pushbutton, the system performs the following when adding / modifying tasks to AME #.

Addition of new routine / non-routine task to AME:

  1. If a 'Seq. #' is specified by the user, system ensures that the 'Seq. #' is unique.

  2. If the 'Seq. #' control is left blank, system auto-generates a unique 'Seq. #'. If a 'Seq. #' is already present against the 'AME #', the system generates a 'Seq. #' by incrementing the last available 'Seq. #' (against the AME #) by ‘1’.

Modification of existing tasks in AME:

  1. If the 'Seq. #' is left blank, the system retrieves all the details (including the actual 'Seq. #' saved against the 'Task') corresponding to the selected Task.

  2. If the modified 'Seq. #' is already associated to an AME – Task, the system displays an error message.

  3. If the modified 'Seq. #' is valid and unique for the AME #, the system allows modification of the task details, including the 'Seq. #' information.

Task #

The unique code identifying the task. The task entered here must be valid and must satisfy the following conditions:

  1. The task entered must have WBS Code for which ‘Workscoping’ is set as “Yes”.

  2.  Task should have Execution Operations property enabled for its corresponding WBS Code (or)

  3. Task should have at least one child task defined within its Repair Scheme which has Execution Operations property enabled for the corresponding WBS code.

On save, you cannot modify the details of the task whose Execution Status is “Routed for Repair”.

  2. Execute – Select this option to perform execution of the task.

  3. Duplicate - Indicates that two or more records have same part # - serial # - task # - repair scheme # combination. This option indicates that the task need not be executed as it is already added from another repair scheme.

  4. Cancel – Select this option if you wish to cancel the task.

  5. Pre-Close – Select this option if you wish to pre-close the task.

  1. If the screen is invoked from ‘AME’, the system lists “Defer” and “Incomplete” in addition to the values mentioned above. On save, the system updates the Exec. Action as “Defer” / “Incomplete”, if the task / discrepancy is deferred / incomplete from AME, respectively.

If a ‘Primary Maintenance Event’ (PME) task (workscoping task having child tasks defined as part of its Repair Scheme Definition) is marked for Pre-Close, all its operations tasks (child tasks) will be considered for Pre-Close.
