Defining kit composition information for engineering document

This page allows you to define the kit composition details for the part numbers that are defined. Tell me more

Select the “Edit Kit Details” link at the bottom of the “Edit Part Requirements” page.

The “Edit Kit Part Information” page appears.

The system displays the following fields in the "Eng Doc Details" group box:

Eng. Doc #	The engineering document selected in the main page.
Revision #	The revision number of the engineering document.
Subject	The textual description of the engineering document.
MCR Part Identifier	The identifier of the MCR part, which could be “Internal” or “Supplier”. The system displays the field when the engineering document is created from the Maintenance Change Request.
Applicability	The applicability of the engineering document, which could be “Aircraft”, “Component” or “Engine”.
Aircraft Model #	The number identifying the aircraft model for which the engineering document is applicable.
Part #	The part selected in the “Edit Part Requirements” page.
Part Type	The type of the part, which is “Kit”.
Part Description	The textual description of the part.
UOM	The unit of measurement for the part.

Note: The system fills in the multiline fields, if the kit requirement details have already been defined.

Enter the following fields in the “Part Details” multiline, to add or modify the details:

New / Existing

Use the drop-down list box to specify the whether the part is a new part or an existing part. The system provides the following options:

New - Select this option, to indicate that the part is new, and is not defined in the “Create Parts Main Information” activity of the “Part Administration” business component

Existing - Select this option, to indicate that the part is already defined in the "Create Parts Main Information” activity of the “Part Administration” business component.

The system sets the field to “New” by default.

Part #

The number identifying the kit part required for carrying out the modification (Alphanumeric, 40). Mandatory. Ensure that the kit part number is unique in the multiline.

For existing parts, the part number must have already been defined in the “Create Parts Main Information“ activity of the “Part Administration” business component.

Help facility available.

Note: The system does not allow you modify an already associated part number. To delete an associated part, check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline and click the "Delete" button.

The system displays the following field:

MCR Part #

The part number defined in the “Edit Kit Requirement Information” page in the “Create MCR” activity.

Enter the following:

Part Description	The textual description of the kit part (Alphanumeric, 150). Data entry in this field is mandatory, for “New” parts.
Part Type	Use the drop-down list box to select the type of the piece part. The system displays all part types other than “Kits”, defined in the “Create Parts Main Information“ activity of the “Part Administration” business component

Note: For “new” parts, the part type must be set to ”'Component” or ”'Part”, if the part must be referred in the “Edit Configuration Change Information” page.

UOM

The unit of measurement for the kit part (Alphanumeric, 10). Data entry in this field is mandatory, for “New” parts. The unit of measurement must be a valid UOM for the part defined in the “Create Parts Main Information“ activity of the “Part Administration” business component.

Help facility available.

Est. Qty.

The total number of kit parts required (Decimal). Mandatory. Ensure that the value entered in this field is positive. For “Component” type of parts, the value entered here should be a whole number.

The system displays the following field:

Currency

The currency for the unit price of the part. The system sets this field to the base currency defined for the company to which the login organizational unit is associated.

Enter the following field:

Unit Price	The unit price of the kit part (Decimal). Ensure that the value entered in this field is positive.
Purchase Lead Time (Days)	The time required for purchasing the kit (Decimal). Ensure that the value entered in this field is positive.
Supplier Details	The code identifying the suppliers of the part (Alphanumeric, 255).

Note: Ensure that at least one kit part is entered in the multiline.

Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline, to mark the part for deletion.
Click the Delete icon provided in the tool bar above the multiline, to delete the parts selected in the multiline.
When you delete a ‘new’ part, the system checks whether the part is referred in any other “Fresh” engineering document. If the part is referred, the system classifies the part as “New”, in in other engineering documents
Click the "Edit Part Requirements" pushbutton to add or modify the details of the part.

The system performs the following on clicking the “Edit Part Requirements” pushbutton. The details are updated in the “Plan Material Requirements” page:

The new parts are copied in the “Plan Material Requirements” page, if you have chosen to generate the PR automatically for the engineering document.
The system copies the maintenance bases identified in the “Aircraft” business component, for all the maintenance objects (aircraft or part), to the “Plan Material Requirements” page. The applicability of the engineering document is also considered while copying the maintenance base details.
The unit of measurement of the part is copied.
The required quantity of the part is updated in the “Plan Material Requirements” page as follows:

Reqd. Quantity =

No. Of parts estimated *

No. of maintenance objects maintained in the individual maintenance bases

For example, let us consider a situation where an engineering document requires two numbers each, of Parts P1 and P2, and the engineering document is applicable for 5 aircrafts, where 3 aircrafts are maintained by the “Chicago” maintenance base, and 2 aircrafts are maintained by the “Boston” maintenance base.

In such a case, the Required Quantity for Part P1 in the “Chicago” maintenance base, is calculated as:

Required Quantity = No. of parts * No. of aircraft = 2 * 3 = 6

Similarly, the required quantity is calculated for other parts.

Defining kit composition information for engineering document – An overview

This page allows you to define the kit composition details for the part numbers that are defined in the “Edit Part Requirements” page. A kit comprises multiple part numbers that are helpful in executing the engineering document task.

In this page, you can specify the details of the part numbers present in the kit. You can specify a new part or associate an existing part. The part number, description, the part type, unit of measurement for the part, estimated quantity, unit price, time required for purchasing the part and the supplier details can be entered.

What you can do in this page

Enter kit composition details

The kits required for engineering document execution are defined in the “Edit Piece Parts Requirements” page. The parts that comprise the kit can be entered in this page.

Set the “New / Existing” field in the multiline to “New”, if you wish to identify a new part in the kit.
Set the “New / Existing” field in the multiline to “Existing”, if you wish to identify an existing part in the kit.
Enter the kit part details in the multiline.
Click the “Edit Part Requirements” pushbutton.
