Enter Affected Parts

Explanation

This activity is used to define the parts that will be affected when the modification is performed. Each part in the structure of the assigned part, on which inspections or work is performed, must be defined as affected parts. This is necessary since the inspections and/or terminating actions for the modification are performed on affected parts.

If IFS/Complex Assembly MRO is used, the description of the work that is to be performed on each affected part is defined using repair codes. Therefore, if the part affected by the modification is the same as the part to which the modification is assigned, this part must be defined as an affected part in order to enable the connection to repair codes.

An affected part may be a part number or revision which is installed in a specific position in the structure of the assigned part. It could also be a particular part number that is installed in a structure position in the structure of the assigned part or a part number regardless of where it is used. For a more detailed description, observe the following methods used to define an affected part:

1. If a value is entered in the Affected Part Number field only, all occurrences of the part number in the structure will be considered an affected part regardless of the part revision or structure position.
2. If values are entered in both the Affected Part Number and Affected Part Revision fields, the part revision is used to determine if it is an affected part. For example, a part with revisions R01 and R02 exist. This part, along with the revision R01 is entered as the affected part revision. Therefore part revision R01 is an affected part while the part revision R02 is not an affected part.
3. If values are entered in the Template Part Number, Template Part Revision and Affected Structure Position fields, the part number and revision that is installed in this position is considered an affected part.
4. If values are entered in the fields Affected Part Number, Template Part Number, Template Part Revision and Affected Structure Position, the part is considered an affected part regardless of the part revision.
5. If values are entered in the fields Affected Part Number, Affected Part Revision, Template Part Number, Template Part Revision and Affected Structure Position, the part is considered an affected part only as long as the given part number and revision is installed in the affected structure position.

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

If the value in the Sign Off field is set to Affected serial marked as complied with, the corresponding serial part for all affected parts is stamped with compliance when the modification is performed. This feature is useful when you want to identify the subcomponents that have been modified.

Prerequisites

• The modification must be in the Preliminary status.
• Parts and revision must have been assigned to the modification.
• The part which is to be defined as an affected part must exist in the template structure of the part that is 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.
• the new part number and revision must have been defined as a valid alternate to the affected part.
• the new manufacturer and manufacturer's part number must have been defined in IFS/Part Catalog.

System Effects

• When the modification task is completed on the assigned serials a history record is created. The record will contain the serials in the structure that match the requirements defined in the Modification Details/Affected Parts tab, and where the value in the Sign Off field is set to Affected serial marked as complied with.
• Affected serial history can be viewed in the Modification Details/Affected Serial History tab.
• 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 affected part. 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

The following procedure is used to enter the part that is affected by the modification:

Note: When entering an affected part on the modification, you are recommended to use one of the five steps detailed above under the section Explanation.

1. Open the Modification Details window and query (F#3) for your modification that is in the Preliminary status.
2. Click the Affected Parts tab and create a new record (F5).
3. In the Affected Part Number field, enter the part number of the part that is affected by the modification. Use the List of Values to select a valid value.
4. In the Affected Part Revision field, enter the revision of the part that is affected by the modification. Use the List of Values to select a valid value.
5. In the Template Part Number field, enter the identity of the template part in which the affected structure position is found. Use the List of Values to select a valid value. Note: A value in this field is required when a value in the Affected Structure Position field is entered.
6. In the Template Part Revision field, enter the revision of the template part in which the affected structure position is found. Use the List of Values to select a valid value.
7. In the Affected Structure Position field, enter the identity of the position in the structure which is affected by the modification. Use the List of Values to select a valid value.
8. If a history record is to be created for an affected part, select Affected serial marked as complied with in the Sign Off field for the particular affected part row.
9. Save the record (F12).

If the modification leads to a part identity change on an affected part, the following procedure can be used to enter a new part number and revision for the affected part:

1. Open the Modification Details window and query for your modification that is in the Preliminary status.
2. Click the Affected Parts tab and locate the row that contains the affected part you want.
3. In the Change to Part Number field, enter the new part number you want. Use the List of Values to select a valid value.
4. In the Change Part Revision field, enter a valid part revision for the new part number. Use the List of Values to select a valid value.
5. In the Change to Manufacturer's Number field, enter the manufacturer of the new part number. Use the List of Values to select a valid value. Note: If the manufacturer of the affected part number and new part number is the same, it is not necessary to enter a value in this field.
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 valid value. When a new manufacturer is entered, the corresponding manufacturer part number must be given.
7. Save your changes (F12).
