Each close access panel task is associated to the last task, which requires the access panel to be closed. The status of the access panel task is set to “Pending Opening”.
The part and the resource requirements specified for the work units are copied to the visit package from the “Maintenance Task” business component.
If the “Incoming Part Estimated” field is set to “Yes” in the “Maintain Restoration Work Units” activity of “Component Maintenance Program” business component, the part details are recorded. In that case, the part defined as the incoming part in that activity is copied. Otherwise, the system refers to the position code and level code to which the current component is attached. The part details for the part refered will be copied, as defined in the “Maintain Aircraft Configuration” of the “Configuration” business component.
Sets the status of the visit package as follows:
The status remains unchanged for the “Fresh” or “Confirmed” visit package.
For “Released” or “Partly Released” visit packages, the system assigns the “Confirmed” status and increments the revision number of the visit package by ‘1’. The previous revision number of the visit package is retained with the “Revised” status.
The system updates the approval status of the visit package as follows:
The approval status remains unchanged for the “Fresh” visit package.
For a visit package in “Confirmed” status, the status is set as “Fresh” and its approval status changes to “Pending Approval” if the approval status was “Approved” or “Returned”.
For visit packages in “Released” or “Partly Released” status, the system changes the status to “Fresh” and the approval status to “Pending Approval”, if the “Approval Required” option is set as “Yes” in the “Option Settings” activity.
If the replacement type of the component is set as “Replacement” and if part and serial numbers have been entered, the system updates the request type of the Maintenance Report for the component as “Specific”. If the serial number is not entered, then the request type is updated as “Normal".
For all the parts with part type set as “PBH”, the system updates the stock status to “PBH” only if the following conditions are satisfied.

a) The part is identified as PBH part for the supplier who is mapped to the aircraft specified in the “Aircraft Reg #” field.

b) The part and its higher assembly part are identified as PBH object list for a supplier.

c) The component that is requested for a “Component Removal” job or “Onwing” job, along with its higher assemblies, is identified as PBH for the supplier.

For all the other part types, the system updates the stock status as “Accepted”.

For each part entered in the multiline, the system retrieves the restoration work units from the “Component Maintenance Program” business component. If there are no restoration work units identified for the part, the system retrieves the restoration work units identified for the base part that is defined for the part in the “Create Parts Main Information” activity of the “Part Administration” business component.
The removal status of those work units that are associated to the components that are to be removed, is updated as “Allocated” in the “Component Maintenance Planning” business component.
