Copy information from another Part Revision

Explanation

This activity is used to copy certain information from one part revision to another. Maintenance codes, condition limits as well as condition limit definitions, sign off requirements defined for the condition limits and maintenance codes, instructions (i.e., operations with belonging materials, tools and facilities, zones and access panels etc.), subtasks (also with belonging detail data as materials, tools and facilities, zones and access panels etc.) and connected documents can be copied using the Copy from another Revision assistant. You can also choose to copy the function breakdown associated with the instruction and/or subtask. Note: The part revision to which information is to be copied can be of a different part number.

Ideally, this activity can be performed when the part revisions are similar and maintenance requirements are for the most part the same. This activity is also useful when you create a new part revision and make minute changes to the maintenance plans. The copy function is selective and only copies the operations that meet the requirements (template structure, function structure) for the part to which information is to be copied.

Prerequisites

• Serial part revisions must exist.
• The information to be copied (maintenance codes, instructions, condition limits, sign off requirements defined for the maintenance codes and condition limits, subtasks etc.) must be defined on the part revision you choose to copy from.
• If the function structure of an instruction and/or subtask is to be copied, a product and model must be assigned to a vehicle part.

System Effects

Depending on your selection, maintenance codes, instructions, subtasks, condition limits, sign off requirements defined for the maintenance codes and condition limits and/or connected documents are copied to the serial part revision.
