The “Alternate Means of Compliance” page appears.

The system displays the following fields in the “MCM Details” group box:

MCM #	The number identifying the modification committee meeting.

The system fills in the fields in the “AMOC Document Details” multiline, if AMOC details have already been defined.

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

Change Doc Type	Use the drop-down list box to select the type of the source document, which could be “MCR” or “Engineering Document”. The system leaves the field blank by default.

	Help facility available.
.	If the “Change Doc Type” is “MCR”, the MCR number entered here should have already been defined in the “Create MCR” activity of the “Maintenance Change Request” business component
	If the “Change Doc Type” is “Engineering Document”, the engineering document number entered here should have already been defined in the “Create Engineering Document” activity.

Note: Ensure that the change request displayed in the “Change Request #” field is not defined as AMOC in any MCM, for any of the MCR or engineering document entered in the multiline.

Revision #

The revision number, if any, of the MCR or Engineering Document identified as AMOC (Alphanumeric, 40).

The system displays the following fields on clicking the “Edit AMOC” pushbutton:

Source Doc Type	The type of the source document to which the MCR or Engineering Document belongs.

Entering AMOC details for change request – An overview

Alternate means of compliance (AMOC) is the alternate method by which a proposed engineering change can be complied with. The alternate method could be execution of a work unit, a different service bulletin (SB), a retrofitment or even changing of the next higher assembly (NHA).

The current change request might enforce the execution of certain other change requests that were released at an earlier date. For example, An MCR such as AD (Airworthiness Directive) may state that, a single SB or a set of SBs released earlier should be complied with. In such case the SB or set of SBs released earlier can be marked as AMOC to this AD.The execution of the Alternate Methods will mark the compliance of the current Change Request. Such related MCRs (the SBs, in this case) are recorded as the alternate means of compliance for the current MCR (AD).

In this page, you can enter the AMOC details for the change request of type “MCR”. The MCM status of the selected maintenance change request must be set as “Draft”. You can notify whether the alternate method is a retrofitment or a change in the next higher assembly. You can also retrieve the AMOC details that are already defined in the “Create MCR” activity of the “Maintenance Change Request” business component, for the selected MCR. You can enter additional AMOC details by specifying the maintenance change request number or the engineering document number, and the revision number (if any).
