Entering material requirements for engineering document

This page allows you to enter the details of the parts for which the purchase request has to be generated during the release of the engineering document. Tell me more.

Select the “Plan Material Requirements” link at the bottom of the “Create Engineering Document” or “Edit Engineering Document” page.

The “Plan Material Requirements” page appears.

The system displays the following field:

Date Format	The format in which the date fields are to be entered in this page. This format is displayed from the "User Preferences" component based on the login user ID. In case the format is not defined, the system displays the date format from the “Enterprise Modeling” component by default.
The system displays the following 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.

Note: On launching the page, the system displays the material (part) plan details that are already defined for the engineering document. If the material plan details are not already defined for the engineering document, the system displays all the maintenance bases (organizational units) in which the aircraft or part for which the engineering document is applicable is created.

Also, all the “new” parts, as defined in the “Edit Piece Part Requirements” and “Edit Resource Requirements” pages, are listed.

The required quantity of the part is calculated by the system 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

Enter the following field in the “Part Details” multiline:

Part #

The part number for which the purchase request must be generated (Alphanumeric, 40). Mandatory.

The system displays the following:

Part Type

The type of the part, as defined in the “Part Administration” business component

Enter the following fields:

UOM	The unit of measurement for the part (Alphanumeric, 10).
Qty. Required	The required quantity of the part (Decimal). Mandatory. Ensure that the number entered in this field is positive.
Note: If the “Fractions Allowed” field is set as “No” in the “UOM” master, the system ensures that the value entered in the “Qty.Required” field is not a decimal value. If the “Fractions Allowed” field is set as “Yes” in the “UOM” master, the system allows both decimal and non-decimal values to be entered in the “Qty.Required” field.
Receiving Maintenance Base	Use the drop-down list box to select the organization unit where the parts must be received. The system lists all the organizational units in which the aircraft or part for which the engineering document is applicable is created. The system leaves the field blank by default.
Receiving Date	The date on which the part will be received in the organization unit (Date Format). Ensure that the date specified is in the format specified in the “Date Format” field.

Note: Ensure that atleast one part number exists in the multiline. The part number, maintenance base and the receiving date combination must be unique in the multiline.

Click the “Edit Plan” pushbutton to confirm the material requirement details.

Note: This action is workflow-enabled. Notification messages can be sent as per the settings you have defined in the "Workflow Management" business component.

Entering material requirements for Engineering Document – An overview

In this page, you can enter the details of the parts for which the purchase request has to be generated during the release of the engineering document.

The part required for executing the engineering document, may not be available in the organization unit. These parts need to be purchased, and hence a purchase request can be generated automatically for each of these parts, when the engineering document is released.

You can enter the part number for which the purchase request must be generated, the unit of measurement, quantity of part required, the organization unit in which the part has to be received and the receiving date.
