To approve deferment requests

Click the “Approve” pushbutton at the bottom of the page to approve the selected deferment requests.

Note: The system ensures that no material request exists for the work units selected for deferment approval.

The system performs the following:

Changes the status of the deferment request as “Processed” and the transient status of the work unit to “Deferred”.
Changes the job status of the work unit to “Cancelled” in the reference document and to “Pending” in the source document.
If all the work units in the visit package or work order is deferred, the system changes the job status of the work order or visit package to “Cancelled”.
If the work unit that is deferred has the source as maintenance program and if it is a constituent work unit or a parent work unit in the maintenance program, the system updates the transient status of the parent work unit as well as the constituent work unit as “Deferred” and its job status as “Cancelled”.
If the parent work unit is a work package and if only that work package is referred in the visit package, the system changes the job status of the visit package to “Canceled”. The execution status of the work unit is set as “Deferred”.
The system moves the pending work units to the pending tray for processing, even if the source of the work units is “Maintenance Event” or “As Required”.
Updates the removal status of the work unit as “Deferred” in the component maintenance program.
Updates the usage based parameter values (if any) for the aircraft/component work units, to the “Allocate Work Units” and “Perform Opportunity Maintenance” activities of the “Central Planning” business component.
