Define Subtasks for Instructions

Explanation

This activity is used to connect a subtask to an instruction. You can choose to create and connect a subtask or to connect an existing subtask to the instruction. Subtasks are used to describe how the instruction should be performed. It is possible to connect several subtasks to an instruction. When a subtask is connected to an instruction, the following rules apply:

• Number of persons for both the instruction and connected subtask can be entered as a whole on the instruction. When this is done, number of persons on the individual subtask line can be set to 0.
• Hour consumption for both the instruction and connected subtask can be entered as a whole on the instruction. When this is done, hour consumption on the individual subtask line can be set to 0.
• Material lists can be defined for both the instruction and connected subtask.
• Tools and facilities can be defined for both the instruction and connected subtask. However, the same Tool/Facility ID cannot be entered on both the instruction and connected subtask.
• Zones and access panels cannot be defined for both the instruction and subtask. Note that it is possible to connect a subtask with zones to an instruction with zones if the instruction is in the Preliminary status. However, when this instruction is activated, the zones that are defined on the instruction will be removed automatically.
• Signature requirements can be defined for both the instruction and subtask.

Prerequisites

• Instructions must have been defined for the part revision.
• Subtasks must have been defined for the same part revision as the instruction.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, subtasks will be connected to an instruction. If the subtask being connected does not already exist, the subtask will be created. The subtasks will once again be transferred to the work order together with instructions.
