The system displays the following field:
|
Description |
The textual description of the warehouse. |
Enter the following fields in the multiline:
|
Seq # |
The preferred sequence in which the warehouse must be searched for free quantities of requested parts (Integer). Ensure that the sequence number is a positive integer. |
The sequence number is entered based on the priority of the material request:
If the priority is “AOG”, the parts have to be made available immediately because the aircraft cannot fly without the part.
If the priority is “Normal”, the parts are needed for the usual requirement of an aircraft.
Note: The sequence number must be
a) Unique for the same priority but can be repeated for different priorities.
Example: In the multiline, if there are three records, two with material request priority as ’AOG’ one with priority as “Normal”, then the sequence number for both material requests of ’AOG’ priority cannot be the same. But the sequence number of the material request of AOG’ priority can be repeated for the material request of ’Normal’ priority.
b) Continuous for specific priority.
Example: In the multiline, if there are five records, three with material request priority as ’AOG’, two with priority as “Normal”, then the sequence number for material request of ’AOG’ priority should be “1”, “2” and “3”. Similarly, the sequence number for the material requests of “Normal” priority should be “1” and “2”.

Modify the following field in the “Demand & Receipt Pegging Preferences” multiline:
|
Order of Preference |
The precedence accorded to the parts. (Alphanumeric, 6). The value entered here must be unique in the multiline and must be greater than zero. Ensure that the order of preference starts from 1 and goes in the ascending order. |
Note: To procure unavailable parts, the system executes the preference options in the order of preference that you specify. However, if none of the preference options succeed in procuring the requested parts, the system looks for the parts in alternate warehouses. Further, these warehouses are approached based on the order of preference set for the alternate warehouses.
Note: If the Order of Preference is provided, the preference will be based on the ascendance rule i.e. 1 will be given the highest preference.
Note: The system ignores the preference option for which the order of preference is not specified.
Note: If there is a pending material request of “AOG” priority and “Normal” priority, the system performs the following:
Allocates the parts based on the Order of Preference specified.
Updates the pending allocation quantity details in the “Material Request” business component.
Pegs for the parts of requested priority, based on the Order of Preference specified.
Note: If the requested part/specific alternate part/substitute part of specified condition is not available in the same warehouse, the system allocates the requested part based on the Preference Option specified in the multiline.
