Std. Procedure	The number identifying the standard procedure.
Std. Procedure Description	The textual description of the standard procedure.

Note: On launching the page, the system displays the part details that are already defined for the engineering document, revision number and standard procedure combination.

Enter the following field:

Task #

Use the drop-down list box to select the task for which the parts must be identified. The system displays all the “new” and “improvised” tasks entered in the “Edit Task Details” page. Leave this field blank, if you wish to define the part details for the standard procedure. The system leaves the field blank by default.

Click the “Get Details” pushbutton to retrieve the part details that are already defined for the engineering document, revision number, standard procedure and task number combination.

The system displays the following field on clicking the “Get Details” pushbutton:

Task Description

The textual description of the selected task.

Enter the following in the “Part Details” multiline:

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 piece 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 piece 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 part required for executing the standard procedure or task (Alphanumeric, 40). Mandatory. The part number should be unique within 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.

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

Note: The system displays an error message, if you attempt to modify an already associated part number. To delete an associated piece part, check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline and click the "Delete" button.

The system displays the following field on clicking the “Edit Part Requirements” pushbutton:

MCR Part #

The part number defined in the “Edit Kit Requirement Information” page in the “Create MCR” activity. This field will be displayed only when the engineering document is created for the MCR.

Enter the following fields:

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

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

Enter the following fields:

UOM

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

Help facility available.

Est. Qty.

The quantity of the part required to complete the standard procedure or task (Decimal). Mandatory. Ensure that the number entered in this field is positive. If the part is of type “Kit” or “Component”, the value entered here should be a whole number.

Need Frequency

Use the drop-down list box to specify the frequency in which a part is required to perform a task. The system lists the following options:

Always - Indicates that the part is required for a task all the time. The system automatically generates a Material Request. More...
As Required - Indicates that the part is required only when needed.

Note that for parts defined in the “Edit Parts Supplied by operator” page of the “Maintenance Change Request” business component, the system considers the need frequency for that part as “Always Required”.

By default the system leaves the field blank

The system displays the following field:

Currency

The currency for the unit price. The system displays the base currency defined for the company to which the login organizational unit is associated.

Enter the following fields:

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

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

Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline to mark the part for deletion, or to define the kit composition details for the part of type “Kit”.
Click the Delete icon in the tool bar above the multiline, to delete the piece 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 other engineering documents.
Click the "Edit Part Requirements" pushbutton to add or delete the parts 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.
On saving the part requirements with the New Part #, the system creates new part requirement in “Confirmed” status in the “Confirm New Part Requirements” page. This happens only if the process parameter ‘Auto confirmation of New Part Requirements?’ is set as “Yes” in the “Set Process Parameters” page of the “Common Master” business component.
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.

To proceed, carry out the following

Select the “Edit Kit Details” link at the bottom of the page to define the kit composition details for the selected piece part.
