Confirming new part requirements for engineering document

This page allow you to confirm the new parts that are required for the engineering document. Tell me more.

Select the “Confirm New Parts Requirements” link at the bottom of the main page.

The “Confirm New Part Requirements” page appears.

The system displays the following field 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.
Currency	The currency code of the unit price. The system displays the base currency defined for the company to which the login organizational unit is associated.

Note: On launching the page, the system displays all the “new” parts defined in the “Edit Part Requirements”, Edit Resource Requirements” and the “Edit Configuration Change Information” pages. The “new” parts are listed in the “Suggested part #” field in the “Part Details” multiline.

The system displays the following field in the “Part Details” multiline:

Actual Part #

The actual part number created in the “Part Administration” business component for the suggested part. This field is displayed only when the part displayed in the “Suggested Part #" is already defined in the “Part Administration” business component.

Enter the following field:

Suggested Part #

The part number that will replace the existing part (Alphanumeric, 40). Mandatory.

The system displays the following fields:

MCR Part #	The MCR part number for the suggested part. The system displays the field only when the engineering document is created from the MCR.
Existing Part #	The part that must be replaced.

Enter the following fields:

Part Description

The textual description of the suggested part (Alphanumeric, 150). Data entry in this field is mandatory, if the part number is specified in the “Suggested Part #” field.

Source Type

Use the drop-down list box to select the source from which the suggested part must be taken. The system displays all the values defined in the "Define Source Type" activity of the “Part Administration” business component.

Part Type

Use the drop-down list box to select the type of the part. The system lists all the part types defined in the "Define Source Type" activity of the “Part Administration” business component.

If the part details are retrieved from the “Edit Resource Requirements” page, the system sets this field to “Tool” by default.

Note: If you have selected “Kit” as a part type, ensure that the kit composition is already defined in the engineering document.

Expense Type	The type of expense incurred while purchasing the part. Use the drop-down list box to select the expense type, which could be "Capital" or "Revenue". The system displays "Revenue" by default.
UOM	The unit of measurement for the suggested part (Alphanumeric, 10). 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. If the part number is specified, data entry in this field is mandatory.

The system displays the following fields:

Recommended Use	Indicates the action recommended for the part that should be replaced. The system displays one of the following:
	Discard – Indicates that the existing part can be discarded.
	Rework – Indicates that the existing part can be reworked.
	Others – Indicates that the part can be kept for other uses.
Interchangeability	Indicates the interchangeability rule defined for the part. The system displays one of the following:
	One Way – Indicates that the part numbers cannot be interchanged in the same position code. For example, if part P2 has replaced part P1 in position code PC1, then P1 cannot replace part P2 subsequently, in the same position code.
	Two Way – Indicates that the part numbers can be interchanged in the same position code. For example, part numbers P1 and P2 can replace each other in the same position code subsequently.
	None –Indicates that interchangeability of the parts is not allowed.

The system displays the following on clicking the “Confirm New Parts” pushbutton:

Status	The status of the suggested part, as defined in the “Part Administration” business component.
Confirmed?	Indicates whether the part requirement is confirmed or not. The system displays either “Yes” or “No”.

Enter the following:

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 name of the supplier from whom the part can be purchased (Alphanumeric, 255).
Ref. Doc. Type	Use the drop-down list box to select the reference document type. All the “Active” “Reference Document Type” values in the “Create / Edit Reference Document Type” activity of the interacting “Common Master” business component will be displayed. By default the system leaves the field blank.
Ref. Doc. #	A number identifying the engineering reference document (Alphanumeric, 40).
Ref. Notes	Any additional remarks or notes pertaining to the reference document (Alphanumeric, 2000)

Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline to mark the part for confirmation.

Note: Ensure that atleast one record is selected in the multiline.

Click the “Confirm New Parts” pushbutton to confirm the new part requirements.

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

If all the multiline rows are left unchecked, the system confirms all the part requirements. The system updates the modified details to the “Edit Part Requirements”, “Edit Resource Requirements” and “Edit Configuration Change Information” pages.
On saving the part requirements with the New Part # in the “Edit Part Requirements” page or in the “Edit Configuration Change Information” page, the system creates new part requirement in “Confirmed” status in the current 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.

Note: If the process parameter ‘Auto confirmation of New Part Requirements?’ is set as “No”, new part request happens in the corresponding “Edit Part Requirements” / “Edit Configuration Change Information” page, while confirmation happens in the “Confirm New Part Requirements” page.

Confirming new part requirements for engineering document – An overview

In this page, you can confirm the new parts that are required for the engineering document.

The system displays the all the new parts that are defined in the “Edit Piece Parts Requirement”, Edit Resource Requirement”, “Edit Configuration Change Information” pages. The details of the new part such as part number, its description, source from where the new part must be taken, the type of the part, the type of expense incurred, unit of measurement for the part and the quantity required, can be entered. Additionally, the system displays the actual part number of the new part if it already exists in the “Part Administration” business component, existing part that must be replaced, the recommended use of the existing part and the part interchangeability rule.

On updating the details, the system displays the status of the new part along with the part, resource and configuration details and stores the name of the currently logged in user and current server date.
