The system leaves the field blank by default. If this field is left blank, the system updates the expense type selected in the “Work Scope Details” group box on clicking the “Create Work Scope” pushbutton.

This field must be set to “Capital”, if the expense type for the work unit for the part#-serial# combination is defined as “Capital” in the “Part Administration” business component.

Note: Ensure that atleast one work unit in the multiline is of expense type “Capital”, if the “Expense Type” drop-down list box in the “Work Scope Details” group box is set to “Capital”.

Note: Ensure that all the work units in the multiline have expense type set to “Revenue” or left blank, if the “Expense Type” drop-down list box in the “Work Scope Details” group box is set to “Revenue”.

Note: Ensure that atleast one record is entered in the multiline.

Also ensure that you have not modified the details of the work units that are retrieved during page launch or clicking the "Get Pending Jobs" pushbutton.

Release Work Scope

Check this box to release the work scope. Ensure that this box is checked, when the “Work Scope Status” is “Fresh” or “Partially Issued”, and the “Generate CWO” box is  checked.

Note: Ensure that “Work Scope Group” is selected, if the “Release Work Scope” is checked.

Generate CWO

Check this box to create the component work order for performing the work units listed in the multiline

Note: The system changes the status of the work scope to “Released” if the "Release Work Scope" check box is  selected and if the login user possesses the rights to release the work scope.

The system generates the component work order with reference to the work scope, if the Generate CWO check box is selected and if the login user possess the rights to generate the component work order.

The system creates a work scope for the selected work units for which the work order has not yet been generated. For example, if there are five work units in the multiline, and work orders have been generated for three work units, then the system will generate work orders only for the remaining two work units.

The maintenance hierarchy for the Component Work Order being created (If Generate CWO check box is selected) will be considered as Retire – Overhaul – Repair – Inspection , if the work scope has work units with multiple maintenance types.

Note: While creating the work scope, the system considers only the work units of higher maintenance types. The maintenance type hierarchy is "Overhaul - Inspection - Repair". If you have entered the work units of type "Overhaul" and "Inspection", the system creates the work scope only with the work units of the maintenance type "Overhaul". A similar logic is applicable for the other two maintenance types also.

The system ensures that the job status of the on-wing and off-wing work units of the main component and child components is set to "Allocated". The system also ensures that the job status of the work units of both the main component and its child components is set to “Pending”, if the work units are marked for deletion.

The system creates work scope of type ‘Planned’ in “Fresh” status for parts that are of type “Component”. The system copies the ‘Maintenance Type’, ‘Work Unit Type’, and ‘Work Unit #’ from the “Customer Order” business component for each work scope created, and updates the status of the work scope as “Pending Processing” and the planning status as “Planned”, job source as “Customer Job” and expense type as “Revenue”.

The system performs the following after clicking the "Create Work Scope" pushbutton:

On creation of the work scope, the system performs the following:

  1. Updates the work unit level start date and end date as the capacity planning start date and end date from the “Customer Order” business component.

  2. Copies the capacity planning start date as the schedule date for the work units, if the capacity planning is in “Confirmed” status. Else, the sysem updates the “Expected Receipt Date” as the schedule date.

  3. updates the “Promised Delivery Date’ from the “Customer Order” business component as the work scope required date.

Note: The system adds the removal or retirement work units of the child component, to the work units list of the main component, when component work order is created on main component.

More information on processing of tasks added to the work scope

Creation of component work order

The system performs the following if you have checked the option "Create CWO":

a) The component work order is the first generated CWO on the component in the work scope.

b) There is no CWO in “Fresh”, “Scheduled”, “In-Progress” or “Completed” status on the component with the “Main Core Issue” as “Required”, irrespective of whether the CWO work order is created from the work scope or directly.

Note: If the main component ID on which the work order is raised has the possession status as "PBH", then the system ensures that the part estimated or any of its higher assemblies is covered in the PBH list of the supplier. If the estimated part or any of its higher assemblies is in the PBH list, then the system sets the stock status for those parts as "PBH".

Note: The system ensures that the work units selected for removal from the "Work Unit Details" multiline, belong to the child component only and that the maintenance type of the selected work unit is not "Retire". The system also ensures that the work units available in the “Child Component Removal List” multiline are not selected for addition to removal list.

If the child component with work unit of maintenance type other than “Retire” is selected for removal list, the system will change the action to “Removal” from “Retire” in the “Child Component Removal List” multiline.

The system ensures that the part number of the selected child component has a restoration work unit defined in the “Component Maintenance Program” business component, and that the restoration work unit of the child component is copied to the “Work Unit Details” multiline and “Child Component Removal List” multiline. All other work units of the child component, that are fetched during “Get Pending Jobs”details in both multliines  will be removed.

The system also changes the status of the work units of the removed child components from “Allocated” to “Pending”, when the restoration work units are triggered.

The system removes pending work units on a child component and its lower level child components, from the work scope, when the work unit on the components must be retired or removed.

For example, assume that there are four components C1,C2, C3 and C4 and their hierarchy is : C1< - C2 < -C3 < -C4. If the work scope has a work unit on C2, which is to be retired or removed, the system removes all work units on the lower level child components C3 and C4, if they are not in the “Processed” status.

The system displays the following in the “Child Component Removal List” multiline:

NHA Part #

The parent part number or the next higher assembly for the component.

NHA Serial #

The serial number of the parent part number.

The system retrieves the above details if the specified position code is valid, as identified in the configuration of the main component in the “Configuration” business component.

Position Code

The code identifying the physical location to which the child component is attached.

Removed Part #

The part number of the removed child component.

Removed Serial #

The serial number of the removed child component.

Action

The action performed on the child component. The system lists the following:

  • “Remove” – If a work unit is performed on a child component, more than once.

  • “Retire” – If a new work unit is added on a child component and if the maintenance type is set as “Retire”.

Work Unit Type

The type of the work unit that must be performed on the component. The system displays "Comp. Work package", "Standard Procedure" or "Task".

Work Unit #

The number of the work unit that must be performed on the child component.

Work Unit Desc

The textual description of the work unit.

Pending Jobs Count

The number of pending jobs in the work scope, which must be performed.

Level Code

The number identifying the level at which the child component is removed.

Removed Component #

The number of the child component removed from the aircraft.

Creating work scope - An overview

Create Work Scope - A summary of the activity

This page allows you to create a work scope for component. A work scope is a document which displays  a set of work units that are to be performed on a particular component.

Work units are jobs that must be carried out on the component for maintenance, repair or processing the discrepancies observed in the component. Work units can be associated with a component, when:

In this page you can create a work scope by combining all the pending work units to be performed on the component.

Work scope creation

A unique number in the organization unit identifies a work scope. You can select the numbering type based on which the work scope is to be created. You can specify the title and the priority that you wish to assign to the work scope. For performing the work units you need to enter the execution unit and the primary work center details. You can also state whether the capability of the work center is to be checked while creating the work scope. You can categorize the work scope and enter any remark or comment pertaining to the work scope.

Retrieving pending jobs

This page is equipped with the facility of retrieving all the jobs that are pending for the component. The system displays all  the work units which are in the "Pending" status associated with the component

Enter work unit details

You can enter the following work unit details in the multiline:

Release work scope

A work scope has to be released for the execution of work units. In this page you are provided with the option of releasing the work scope during its creation. The status of the work scope is set as "Released".

Note: The system does not allow work scope release and updates the status of the work unit as “Pending Cust. Auth” for a customer based work scope, if a value is selected as “Required” or “As Required” in the “Approval of Additional Work Scope” field for the Customer Order in the “Customer Order” business component.

Create Component Work Order

You can create the component work order for executing the work scope. The system creates the component work order for each maintenance type entered in the work scope. If the work scope contains the work package, then the system opens the work package and creates one component work order for each standard procedure and task in the work package.
