The system performs the following

Adds the task number to CWO, in “Fresh” status irrespective of the status of the CWO, if the authorization status of the work unit is set as “Required” or “Pending Customer Authorization”. If the authorization status of the work unit is set as “Not Required”, then the system adds the task in the status as that of the CWO.
Updates the task authorization status as “Not Required”, if the “Authorization” field is set as “Not Required”, and as “Pending Customer Authorization” if the “Authorization” field is set as either “Required” or “Pending Customer Authorization”, for each of the task being added to the CWO.

Note: The system ensures that the applicability of the maintenance report is “Component”.

Updates the SOS disposition of the component in the component Replacement based on the changed component condition. If the current SOS disposition of the component is “Suspected Failure” and the changed component condition is set to “Serviceable”, the new SOS disposition is set to “No Fault Found”. The SOS disposition becomes “Confirmed Failure” from “Suspected Failure”, if the condition of the component is changed to “Unserviceable”. However, the SOS disposition is retained, if it is “BER”, “Confirmed Failure” or “Phased Out”.

When you enter a new discrepancy:

Sets the status of the discrepancy to “Under Resolution” and the source document type as “CWO”.

When you associate a “Pending” discrepancy:

Note: If you have entered a task number but the “Action” field is not set to “To process” or “Cancelled”, the system adds the entered task number to the work units multiline of the component work order. If the CWO is in “Scheduled” status, the status of the task is also set to “Scheduled” and the current date and time are set as the “Planned start date and time”.

If the task being added to the CWO has a customer order reference and if it is in either “Pending Customer Authorization” or “Not Required” status, then the system updates the Work Unit information and part requirement details (if any) to the customer order.
If the task being added to the CWO is in “Scheduled” status and if the expense type of the CWO is “Capital”, then the system updates the committed amount corresponding to the CAPEX proposal number in the “Asset Planning” business component.
If the “Action” is set as "To process", the system changes the status of discrepancy to "Pending" in the “Discrepancy Processing” business component. In such cases, the system will not allow you to delete the pending discrepancies that are marked for deletion.
If you have not entered a task number and the option in the “Action” field is other than “To process” or “Cancelled”, the system generates a non-standard task with the description entered in the “Remedial Action” field. Any value given in the “Turn around time” field against the discrepancy or maintenance report is set as the “Estimated elapsed time” for the generated task. If no value is entered in this field, the system sets “1 hour” as the estimated elapsed time for the task.
If the “BER” field is set as “Yes” for a component, the system updates the condition of the main component as well as the child components attached to the main component to “Phased Out”.
If the Component that is getting phased out is of expense type “Capital”, then system updates the status of corresponding Asset ID & Asset Tag as either 'Marked for Retirement' or 'Marked for Retirement - Partial'.
The system removes all the pending work units of the main component and the child components from the pending tray, when the status of the component is changed to “Phased Out”.
The system also removes the next schedule dates of the work units (for the phased-out component), in the “Component Maintenance Program” business component and updates the last performed date of the retirement work units.

When you specify a new task

Adds all the base tasks defined under the block task in component maintenance program to the work scope, if the Program Item Type of the task is “Block” at the Planning or Execution level. Similarly, adds all related tasks of a task, if its Program Item Type is “Perpetual” as defined in the Maintenance Task component.

Updates the customer order with the details of any new/related/base/opportunity check tasks included in the work scope, if component has a customer order reference. The Planning Status of such tasks is updated to “Planned” in the customer order. If the customer order has the “Approval of Additional Workscope” set as "As required" or "Required", the Authorization Status for all new/related/base/opportunity check task is set to “Pending Customer Authorization”.
Sets the Planned End-Date for each task in the following way,

Reporting preliminary inspection findings in a CWO – An overview

After the creation of the component work order, the defective component or piece part is taken to the shop for maintenance work. Before carrying out the maintenance work, the parts need to be inspected in the shops. The inspection is performed to confirm the discrepancies observed on the component and also to detect any other defect on the component. The inspector carries out the inspection and reports observations as the inspection findings. This page allows you to report these inspection findings made on the defective component.

You can enter the details of the discrepancies observed on the component. You can create a new discrepancy by specifying the discrepancy description, action, tracking status, remedial action, the person who reported the discrepancy, the person who inspected the discrepancy, turn around time and time unit. The system generates the discrepancy number on updation.

You can also use the help facility given in the respective multilines to associate already existing discrepancies or maintenance reports of the same component to the component work order.

If the component work order is raised for discrepancy or maintenance report, then you can update the discrepancy details in the “Discrepancy Processing” business component from this page. You can also add pending discrepancies or maintenance reports of the same component to the component work order in the respective multilines.

You may encounter problems while recommending solutions to the defects observed on the faulty component. In such a case, you can raise an Engineering Service Request (ESR). The ESR is raised to seek clarification on the problem encountered. The engineering cell releases an Engineering Advice Note (EAN) in response to the ESR, suggesting guidelines and suitable course of action. This page allows you to raise an ESR when the solution to the discrepancy observed on the component is not available. If any ESR is raised on a similar discrepancy or maintenance report earlier, and an EAN is available, you can specify the EAN number in this page.

What you can do in this page

Report inspection findings details

Associate EAN to ESR

Report inspection findings details

The defective components or piece parts undergo inspection before the actual maintenance work execution. You can enter the inspection details in this page. You can also add “pending” discrepancies or maintenance reports from “Discrepancy Processing” business component, which are reported only against the parts whose part type is component and generate new discrepancy by entering details in this page.

Enter details in the “Discrepancy Details” multiline to generate new discrepancy.
If the component work order is generated against a discrepancy or maintenance report, enter the details in the “Discrepancy Details” and “Maint. Report Details” multilines respectively

Associate EAN to ESR

You can associate an engineering advice note against the engineering service request raised in the “Create ES Request” page.

Enter the engineering advice note number in the “Engg Advice Note #” field.
