Assign Part Revision to Modification

Explanation

This activity is used to assign valid part revisions to the modification. The manual registration of assigned part revisions is required, for instance, when a part with more than one part revision is assigned to a modification that has the assignment type By Revision All Serials. At this instance, the valid part revisions will not be assigned to the modification automatically. You need to manually assign the relevant part revision(s) as described in this activity. Note: If the part assigned to a modification with the assignment type By Revision All Serials has only one part revision, this part revision is assigned automatically to the modification. When a part with one or more defined part revisions is assigned to a modification that has the assignment type By Serial Range, all valid part revisions are assigned automatically to the modification.

If the modification leads to the change of a part and/or part revision on an assigned part, this activity can be used to enter the new part number and/or the revision for the assigned part. If a new part number is entered, the serial part identity will be changed automatically when the modification is performed and will include the new part number and its part revision.

Note: If the modification leads to the change of a part revision only, no automatic changes will be performed and it is used for informational purposes only.

Prerequisites

• A modification must have been defined. This modification must be in the Preliminary status.
• In order to assign part revisions to the modification, the corresponding part number must have been assigned to the modification.
• If the modification leads to a part identity change, the new part number and part revision for a modified part must exist as a valid serial part revision.
• If the modification leads to a part identity change, the new manufacturer and manufacturer part number must have been defined in IFS/Part Catalog.

System Effects

• Following data can be entered on the modification revision: References, affected parts, instructions (operations, material, tools-and-facilities, criticality etc), execution intervals (initial inspection, continued inspection or terminating action), and the assignment of serials.
• Once the modification leading to a part identity change is complied with, the serial will be updated with the new part number, revision and manufacturer information entered on the assigned part revision. If the serial is assigned as to be performed on another modification, the rename will cause the serial to be removed from that modification.

Procedure

Follow this procedure to manually assign a part revision to a modification which is in the Preliminary status:

1. Open the Define Modification window and query (F3) for your modification revision.
2. (Optional step) Click the Assign Parts tab and verify that the required part is assigned to the modification. The part revision which is to be assigned to the modification belongs to this part.
3. Click the Assign Part Revisions tab and create a new record (F5).
4. In the Part Number field, enter the part number of the assigned part. Use the List of Values to select the value.
5. In the Part Revision field, enter the required part revision of the assigned part. Use the List of Values to select a value.
6. Save the record (F12).

If the modification leads to a part identity change on an assigned part, use the following procedure to enter the new part number and revision of the part:

1. Open the Define Modification window and query (F3) for your modification revision that is in the Preliminary status.
2. Click the Assign Part Revisions tab and locate the row containing the assigned part revision on which a part identity change is to be performed.
3. In the Change to Part Number field, enter the new part number. Use the List of Values to select a value. Note: If the modification leads to a part revision change only, the part number of the assigned part (i.e., the value displayed in the Part Number field) should be entered in this field.
4. In the Change to Part Revision field, enter the new part revision. Use the List of Values to select a value.
5. In the Change to Manufacturer's Number field, enter the manufacturer of the new part revision. Use the List of Values to select a value. A value in this field is not required if the manufacturer of the assigned part number and new part number is the same.
6. In the Change to Manufacturer's Part Number field, enter the new manufacturer's part identity. Use the List of Values to select a value. When a new manufacturer is entered the manufacturer's part number should be entered as well.
7. Save your changes (F12).
