Define Interchangeability Codes

Explanation

This activity is used to define interchangeability codes which are used when defining position alternates and template alternates against the template structures. For each interchangeability code, a rule must be selected in order to define what is to be performed. There are five predefined interchangeability rules. Interchangeability rules are used when a part or a serial is installed in a serial structure.

Prerequisites

N/A

System Effects

• Template and position alternates can be defined for a template structure. The interchangeability code is required to define when an alternate(s) is to be defined for a template.
• When structure changes are performed on a serial, the defined interchangeability rules for the template will be used to validate if the structure changes are valid.
