The system performs the following on updation:

Add work units

If the work units are added to a released visit package, the system updates the status of the visit package to “Partly Released”.
If the work unit is added to the “Confirmed”, “Partly Released” or “Released” status visit package, the disposition entries are made in the “Stock Planning” business component.
If the “Work Unit Added” is displayed in the “Change Description” field, the work unit is added to the visit package and revision number combination.
If the added work unit is of type “Work Package” and if the part and serial number fields are left blank, the system associates the task and standard procedure within the work package to the visit package along with the requirement details.
The work package level requirements are updated as the part and resource requirements for the visit package.
The access panels required for the task are updated.
The schedule date of the work package is updated as the plan start date for the task, If the schedule date is earlier than the plan start date or later than the plan end date of the visit package, the visit package plan start date is updated as the start date. The end date is calculated by adding the elapsed time to the start date (converted in days, based on the conversion factor defined in the “Common Masters” business component)
The total man-hours for the visit package is recomputed and updated if the recomputed values are greater than the current man-hours of the visit package.
If the work center specified for the task is not valid for the current organization unit, the system updates the primary work center of the visit package to the task..
If the work unit is of type “Work Package” and if serial number is displayed, the details of the work package is updated from the “Component Maintenance Program” business component.
If the added work unit is of type “Task” or “Standard Procedure” and if the job type is “Aircraft”, the details of task or procedure are copied from the “Maintenance Program” and “Maintenance Task” busines component.
If the “Job Type” is “Component Removal”, the system updates the component details in the “Component Removal” list.

If the "Job Type" is "Replacement" and the job is allocated from the central planning pending tray, the system copies "Part #" as "Incoming Part #" and displays "Replacement Type" as "Replacement".

Processing modified work unit allocations – An overview

The central planner can add or delete work units or modify the grounding date, primary work center and priority of the visit package, in the “Central Planning” business component. In this page, you can process these allocations modified by the central planner.

The system displays the change description, which indicates whether the grounding date, priority or primary work center is modified, and whether the work unit has been added or deleted. The system does not display the work unit details if the grounding date, priority or primary work center is modified.

On updating or processing, the system modifies the grounding date, priority, primary work center, adds the work units to the visit package or deletes the work units according to the change description displayed in the multiline.

You can also ignore the changes that have been specified by the central planner, if the modified allocations should not be taken up for processing.
