Data selection in this field is mandatory, if ‘Last Performed Date’ or ‘Next Scheduled Date’ is modified. You cannot modify the Change Type, if ‘Repeat Interval’ or ‘Threshold’ is modified. By default, the system leaves the field blank.
Prog. Item Type	Use the drop-down list box to specify the program item type of the task. The system lists the values “"Block", "Base", "Non-Block", "To Be Decided", "Perpetual" and "As Required". This field is visible only if the ‘Update Option’ is set as “Update Schedule”. By default, system leaves the field blank. On search with 'Update Option' set as "Update Schedule", the system retrieves and displays the ‘Prog. Item Type’ from the respective 'Aircraft Maintenance Program' / 'Component Maintenance Program'. Tasks having ‘Prog, Item Type’ set as “As Required”, “Perpetual” or “To Be Decided” will be retrieved only for ‘Display Option’ set as “All Tasks”. On clicking “Update Program / Compliance” pushbutton, the system performs the following: Allows new Task insertion into an Aircraft Maintenance Program / Component Maintenance Program, only if the 'Prog. Item Type' is set as "Non-Block". When performing a new Task insertion into an Aircraft Specific Maintenance Program / Component Maintenance Program, system defaults the ‘Prog. Item Type’ as “Non-Block” if the same has not been specified by the user. Allows modification of 'Prog. Item Type' of Block Task only if one of the following conditions is satisfied: Associated Base Tasks (having mentioned Block Task as the only Parent Item reference) must not be available in the respective Maintenance Program, with 'Schedule Status' as "Active" or "Fresh". Base Tasks having the Block Task as the only Parent Item reference in the respective Maintenance Program, must be available in the multi-line selection list, with a modified 'Prog. Item Type' (or) such Base Tasks must be available in the selection list with the 'Schedule Status' set as "Inactive" / "Terminated". When modifying the 'Prog. Item Type' of a Task as "As Required" / "Perpetual" / “To Be Decided”, the system saves the specified details even if 'Schedule Details' ("Parameter", "Threshold Value", "Interval", "Last Performed Date", "Last Performed Value", "Next Scheduled Date" or "Next Scheduled Value") are not available for the record. When modifying the 'Prog. Item Type' of an "Off-Wing" task (in CMP) to "As Required", the system performs the following: Re-computes the NSD / NSV for the restoration task. Removes the Restoration Task from the pending tray if no other "Off-Wing" Tasks are available in the CMP. If 'Prog. Item Type' of a Task is set as "Base", the system ensures that at least one related Block Task as defined in the “Maintenance Task” business component, is available in the respective Aircraft / Component Maintenance Program or in the multiline selection list.

Work Center #	The work center in which the task is executed. Data entry in this field is mandatory, if the option ‘Work Center Entry For Task’ is set as “Mandatory” in the “Set Options” activity of the “Aircraft Maintenance Program” business component. Help facility available.

Note: For ‘MPD Group’, ‘Execution Type’, ‘Sch Exec Rule’, ‘Deferment Policy, the system defaults the fields with blank, if the current page is invoked form left pane or from any screen for Component tasks. For aircraft task, if invoked from calling screen, the system defaults the corresponding value from Aircraft Maintenance Program.

The system displays the following fields:

Task Description	The short name/description of the task.
Task Rev #	The amendment number of the Task.

Generate Next Schedule Date/Next Schedule Time

Select the “Compute Next Due” pushbutton to display the next schedule date and next schedule value for the aircraft/component.

Note: The “Compute Next Due” pushbutton appears only when the Update Basis is specified as “Update Schedule”.

The system performs the following:

On computing the Next due of the task having Eng.doc reference # in the program, the system allows you to modify the Threshold / interval, only if the process parameter “Allow modification of Eng. Doc. task in Maintenance Program” is set as “Allowed” in the “Define Process Entities” activity of the “Common Master” business component.
Computes Next Scheduled Date (NSD)/Next Scheduled Value (NSV).

Note: Next Due computation is applicable only for tasks with,

Prog. Item Type as Block/Base/Non-Block.
Initiate / Reset by as Self Compliance and, Parent task has already been complied.
Schedule Type as One Time and, LPD/LPV is blank.
Reset On Attachment is First Attachment/Every Attachment and, the component is attached to an aircraft
Auto-computation of NSD / NSV:

On adding a new Task Schedule to an Aircraft Maintenance Program / Component Maintenance Program, the system automatically computes the NSD / NSV for the newly added Paramater (date / usage based), if task was already tracked based on a date / usage based schedule and task compliance history is available.

For date-based Task Schedule,

NSD = LPD + Interval

For usage-based Task Schedule,

NSV = (Param. value as of LPD) + Interval

Note: If the Param. Value as of LPD is zero, the system displays an error message.

Refer to the flow diagram, which depicts the auto-computation of NSD / NSV.

Refer to the following sections for more details:

Record compliance / schedule execution of tasks

Click the “Update Program / Compliance” pushbutton,

Transferred aircraft: You cannot update program/compliance information for aircraft/components attached to the aircraft transferred to another operating unit for maintenance. The system allows for update upon return of the aircraft.

The system performs the following on clicking the “Update Program / Compliance” pushbutton, if you have set the Update Option to "Work Compliance":

On compliance of the task, the system updates the following details in the corresponding aircraft maintenance program or component maintenance program:

Updates task details in the latest revision of the aircraft / component maintenance program defined for the aircraft / component. If the status of the latest revision is “Fresh”, the system also updates the previous revision of the aircraft / component maintenance program, which would be in “Active” status.
For date-based schedules, the system updates the “Actual Compliance Date” and “Actual Compliance Time” of the task as the “Last Performed Date and Time”.
For usage-based schedules, the system computes the parameter values as of the “Compliance Date and Time” and updates the same as “Last Performed Value” for the parameter.
Updates the Interval of the task in the aircraft/component maintenance program on modification of interval, if the “Permit Interval Modification in Maint. Program” in the Set Options activity is set to "Allowed".

If an engineering document raised for a component has a request for part number or serial number change, the system will allow the compliance of work units in engineering document, only if the part for which the change is requested, is a child of the main component. The system updates the compliance details in the engineering document, if compliance status is “Not Complied”.
For shelf life expiry tasks associated with the component maintenance program, the system recalculates the shelf life for the component as the sum of the “Actual Compliance Date” and “Shelf Life” defined for the component in the “Part Administration” business component.

If you have specified the Update Option as “Update Schedule”, the system performs the following:

If Aircraft tasks / Component tasks are newly added / modified, the system updates the corresponding task details in Aircraft Maintenance Program / Component Maintenance Program, respectively, based on the selection of ‘Detailed View’ or ‘Compact View’.
If the “Initialize maintenance Program and Update Compliance” screen is launched from 'Work Space' for an 'Aircraft Reg #', the system allows the user to add / modify task only for the same Aircraft Reg #.
If the “Initialize maintenance Program and Update Compliance” screen is launched from 'Work Space' for a Component Task, the system allows the user to add / modify the task only for the same component # and its assemblies.

Example:

Consider that the Component hierarchy is as follows:

A1 Aircraft- Under Aircraft C1 and C11 are attached

C1 (EIPN)

C2 (attached in C1)

C3 (attached in C2)

C4 (attached in C3)

C11

If user selected the ‘C2’ Component in the ‘Part detail’ tab in the work space, then Work space will give the EIPN for the ‘C2’ component.

If user launched the current screen for the Component (C2), then system allows the user to add / modify the task information for the Component ‘C1’, ‘C2’, ‘C3’ & ‘C4’.

Note: If the user tries to add / modify the tasks details for the component (C11), system does not allow the same.

Updates the Schedule Type for a task on the basis of the interval you specify for the date based an and usage based schedules you specify.

For aircraft maintenance programs, if interval is available for at least one of the schedules (date based or any of the parameters in usage based schedules), the Schedule Type is updated as “Recurring”. If you do not specify interval for date-based schedule or any parameter in the usage based schedule, the Schedule Type for the task is set to “One Time”.
For component maintenance programs, if interval is available for date based schedule, the Schedule Type is set to “Recurring” for a task. For tasks with usage based schedule, the system sets the Schedule Type for each parameter based on the interval. If interval is specified for a parameter, its Schedule Type is set to “Recurring”. In the case of usage-based schedules, the Schedule Type of each parameter is set based on the availability of interval. If you have specified the interval for a parameter, the Schedule Type of the parameter is set to “Recurring”. In the absence of interval for a parameter, its Schedule Type is set to “One-Time”. If intervals for date base schedule as well as none of the parameters of usage based schedule are available, the Schedule Type for the task is set to "One Time”.

Note: 'Next Due Computation' is not applicable for Tasks having 'Prog. Item Type' set as "Perpetual" or "As Required".

Updates task details in the latest revision of the aircraft / component maintenance program defined for the aircraft / component. If the status of the latest revision is “Fresh”, the system also updates the previous revision of the aircraft / component maintenance program, which would be in “Active” status.
For a part # and serial #, the system creates a component maintenance program in “Authorized” status, if no component maintenance program exists. However, this is possible only if restoration tasks are available for the part # and serial #.
If the Eng. doc reference # exists for the task, the system allows you to modify the following details of the Eng. Doc. task in the Maintenance Program, only if the process parameter "Allow modification of Eng. Doc. task in Maintenance Program” is set as “Allowed” in the “Define Process Entities” activity of the “Common Master” business component.

Program item type
Initiate Reset basis
Maintenance Type
Last Performed Date / Value
Threshold / Interval

Note: You can modify the Next Schedule Date / Value and Last Performed Date / Value

The system allows the user to perform "Work Compliance" and / or "Update Schedules" based on the access rights of the user to system activities, if 'Additional restriction on IMPUC usage required?' is set as '1' in the “Define Process Entities” activity of the “Common Master” business component.

Refer to the following sections for more details:

Component condition change on task compliance

On compliance of a task on a component, the system automatically changes the condition depending on the definition of the process parameter “Allow component condition change on task compliance from Initialize Maint. Prog. & Update Compliance?” under the entity ‘Compliance’ of entity type “Tech Records Process Ctrl” in the Define Process Entities activity of Common Master. If “Allow component condition change on task compliance from Initialize Maint. Prog. & Update Compliance?” is ‘1’, the system shifts the condition of the component on compliance of scheduled task based on the maintenance type of tasks defined in the component maintenance program. Alternately, the component condition remains unchanged even after task compliance, if the process parameter value is ‘0’.

The table below illustrates the impact of the process parameter (if its value is ‘1’) on the component condition upon compliance.

Maintenance Type	Component condition before compliance update	Component condition after compliance update
Inspection	New, Serviceable, Unserviceable, Overhaul	Serviceable
Repair	New, Serviceable, Unserviceable, Overhaul	Serviceable
Overhaul	New, Serviceable, Unserviceable, Overhaul	Overhaul
Retire	Serviceable, Unserviceable, Overhaul	Phased Out
Others	Not Applicable	Not Applicable

If ‘Update component condition change on task compliance from Initialize Maint. Prog. & Update Compliance?’ is 1/Yes and, if maintenance Type of the complied task is ‘Retire’, the system automatically sets the component condition to ‘Phased Out’ and Record Status to ‘Inactive’ under the following conditions:
The component is not currently attached to any aircraft or NHA
The warehouse allows components in Phased Out condition
Adjust Actual Cost is not ‘Condition Based’, if the component is available in the warehouse

Deleting task schedules or NSD/NSV

Click the “Delete Schedule" button from the pushbutton combo to delete the selected schedule for the task in the program.
Click the “Delete NSD/NSV” button from the pushbutton combo to delete NSD/ NSV for the selected task.

Note:

Note: The pushbutton combo appears enabled only if the ‘Update Option’ is set as “Update Schedule”.

Note: You can delete NSD / NSV for a task only:

If ‘Reset on Attachment’ is ‘Every Attachment’ and, if the task has not yet been complied for the component

If ‘Initiate / Reset by’ is 'Related Task Compliance’ and if ‘Relationship Type’ of the task is ‘Initiate Schedule’ cyclically with other tasks in the maintenance program

However, after deletion of NSD/NSV, the system does not re-compute NSD/NSV for tasks such as above upon click of the Update Program / Compliance pushbutton.

Cyclic Initiate Schedule relationship example (popup): If T1 & T2 are in cyclic ‘Initiate Schedule’ relationship, each time T1 is complied, the system computes and updates the NSD/NSV for T2 (T1 will not have NSD/NSV). In turn, when T2 is complied, the system computes and updates the NSD/NSV for T1 (T2 will not have NSD/NSV).

Transferred aircraft: You cannot delete schedules for aircraft or components attached to the aircraft transferred to another operating unit for maintenance. The system allows for deletion upon return of the aircraft.
The system allows you to delete the task schedule only if the following are true:
‘Prog. Item Type’ of the selected task must be “Block”, “Base”, “Non-Block” or “To Be Decided” in the respective Maintenance Program.
‘Maintenance Type’ of the selected task must be other than “Retire” in the respective Maintenance Program.
‘Schedule Status’ of the selected task must be other than “Terminated” in the respective Maintenance Program.
If the 'Prog. Item Type' and 'Maintenance Type' specified match with the 'Prog. Item Type' and 'Maintenance Type' given in the Aircraft Specific Maintenance Program / Component Maintenance Program.
If the task does not have any open Short Term Escalation references in "Fresh", "Confirmed" or "Processed" status.
Task Schedule will be considered for deletion from both the Latest Active Program Revision, as well as the Latest Program Revision (if in "Fresh" status). Note: On successful of deletion of task schedule, the system displays the count of distinct Maintenance Programs from which deletion has happened.
For Component / Engine applicable tasks, if Part # - Serial # details are specified, system considers the corresponding Component Maintenance Program for task schedule deletion. If only value for Aircraft Reg. # is provided, system shall consider task schedule deletion from the respective Aircraft Specific Maintenance Program.
‘Prog. Item Type’ flipping:

If all the Task Schedules corresponding to a Task in the Aircraft Specific Maintenance Program / Component Maintenance Program are deleted, the system flips the 'Prog. Item Type' of the Task as "As Required", and updates this change in the Latest Active Program Revision and the Latest Program Revision (if in “Fresh” status). However, the ‘Prog. Item Type’ of “To Be Decided” tasks will be retained as is, even though all schedules corresponding to the task are deleted from the respective Maintenance Program.

When flipping 'Prog. Item Type' of an "Off-Wing" task (in CMP) to "As Required", the system performs the following:

Re-computes the NSD / NSV for the restoration task.
Removes the Restoration Task from the pending tray if no other "Off-Wing" Tasks are available in the CMP.
Block Task validation:

If the 'Prog. Item Type' of the selected Task is set as "Block" in the respective Aircraft Specific Maintenance Program / Component Maintenance Program, the system ensures that one of the following conditions is satisfied prior to auto-flipping of the 'Prog. Item Type' as "As Required”.

No associated Base Tasks having mentioned Block Task as the only Parent Item Reference, with 'Schedule Status' as "Active" or "Fresh" status must be available in the respective Maintenance Program.
Base Tasks (and all associated Task Schedules) having mentioned Block Task as the only Parent Item reference in the respective Maintenance Program, must be available in the multiline selection list.

Computation of Next Scheduled Date (NSD)/Next Scheduled Value (NSV)

The NSD for a date-based task in aircraft maintenance program is determined in one of two ways as shown below.

If Last Performed Date & Time and Interval are available, NSD = Last Performed Date & Time + Interval.
If Last Performed Date & Time is not available although Threshold Value is available, NSD = Threshold Value + Ref. Date. (Note that the Ref. Date could be Operational Date or Induction Date of the aircraft as defined for the task in the aircraft/component maintenance program. If the Reference Date is not specified in the maintenance program, the Induction Date is assumed to be the Reference Date).
If the task does not have 'Last Performed Date' , 'Initiated / Reset By' is set as "Self Compliance", 'Threshold Value' is not available and 'Repeat Interval' is entered, NSD = Reference Date (Induction / Operational date) + Repeat Interval.

The NSV for a usage-based task in aircraft maintenance program is computed in one of following ways as explained below:

If Last Performed Value and Interval are available; NSV = Last Performed Value + Interval.
If Last Performed Value is not available although Threshold Value is available; NSV = Threshold Value
If Last Performed Value and Threshold Value are not available although Interval and Last Performed Date & Time are available; NSV = Parameter Value on the Last Performed Date & Time + Interval.
If task does not have 'Last Performed Value', 'Initiated / Reset By' is set as "Self Compliance", 'Threshold Value' is not available and 'Repeat Interval' is entered, NSV is updated as "Repeat Interval".

The computation of NSD / NSV in a component maintenance program is as shown below, for various values of ‘Reset on Attachment?’, if Threshold / Interval is Available and 'Initiated / Reset By' set as "Self Compliance".

Reset On Attachment	NSD	NSV
Not Required	NSD = Mfr. Date / Induction date + Threshold / Interval NSD = Last Performed date+ interval (If Last Performed Date (LPD) is available)	NSV = Threshold Value NSV = Last Performed Value + Interval (If LPD is available)
First Attachment	NSD = Last Installation Date + Interval	NSV = Threshold value NSV = Last Performed Value + Interval (If LPD is available)
Every Attachment	NSD = Last Installation Date + Interval	NSV = Threshold value + Parameter Value on Last Installation Date of the component NSV = Interval + Parameter Value on Last Installation Date of the component (If LPD is available)

If the computed NSD/NSV for a task in aircraft/component maintenance programs as shown in various scenarios is earlier than the current date/less than the current parameter value, the system prompts you to specify the NSD/NSV for the task. However, the system accepts the NSD/NSV that you specify even if the NSD/NSV that is earlier than the current date/less than the present parameter value.

The system will not automatically compute the NSD/NSV, if the Initiated/Reset by” attribute for a task in the aircraft/component maintenance program is set to "Related Task Compliance”. However, if you have specified the NSD/NSV, then system retains these values.

If the task compiled has a short term escalation reference, sets the NSD/NSV of a task on the basis of the Schedule Reset Basis specified in the short term escalation request.

1. If the Schedule Reset Basis is set to “Actual Compliance”, the system derives NSD/NSV for tasks on the basis of the last performed date / time, as explained previously.

2. If the Reset Schedule Basis is set to “Last Schedule”, the system derives the NSD/NSV in the following way,

For date-based schedule: New NSD = NSD + Repeat Interval
For usage-based schedule: New NSV = NSV + Repeat Value
