Transfer New Template Structure to Site

Explanation

Use this activity to initiate a new transfer of a top template part revision to a destination site. The transfer process creates the needed inventory parts, manufacturing part revisions and manufacturing structure data.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that:

• The VIM serial structure template has been created and transferred to the holding table, and the structure must be in Active status.
• The top template part has never been transferred to the site. The top template part can be transferred to other sites previously.
• The user has access to the site.
• The site must have the VIM MRO Usage flag set. 
• A default planner and manufacturing engineer must also be defined for the site in IFS/Manufacturing Standards.
• A part transfer template of type VIM Template is defined in IFS/Manufacturing Standards.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• The system confirms the transfer of a top template part revision (and all of its level structures) to a site.
• For the top template part, its components and valid alternates, the transfer process creates the following records: inventory part records for 'real' and position parts; inventory part revision records for 'real' and position parts; and monolithic disassembly and assembly structures and routings. Transfer process will also creates disposition type product structures for all the position parts present in the structure.
• A template transfer history record is created, with a transfer status that indicates when the transfer occurred and whether the transfer succeeded or failed.
• A template transfer log is created with any errors, warnings, or informational messages created during the transfer.
• If modifications are defined in IFS/Vehicle Information Management for parts in the transferred structure, an MRO modification record is created for each of the modifications and an MRO part modification record is also created for each affected part.

Procedure

1. Open the Transfer MRO Template Structure window.
2. Retrieve the top template part number records, either by clicking Populate (F2) or by making a selective query (F3).
3. The suggested New Phase In Date will be the Site Date if the top template part has never been transferred, otherwise the suggested New Phase In Date will be one day after the Last Phase In Date or the Site Date, whichever is later. You can modify the value in this field.
4. If you have set up a default Part Transfer Template in IFS/Manufacturing Standard, the Transfer Template ID field is automatically set to the default value. You can update the transfer template by clicking List of Values (F8) and selecting a value or by directly entering a template.
5. Highlight your site(s) in the table window. Right-click and then click Transfer to Manufacturing.
6. Click OK for any informational and warning dialogs that may appear.
