Modification Transfer to Manufacturing

Explanation

Use this activity to transfer only the modifications to manufacturing. Modifications is generic definition of high-level definitions of service bulletins, Airworthiness Directives and other sundry change or maintenance request definitions for an engine type (or a top-level part).

Because the data to create allocations and operations is not present in VIM and would only be used by Shop Orders, you also want to take modification defined for assigned part and affected parts information in VIM and transfer them into Manufacturing, so that you can associate repair codes to point out the allocations and operations needed to do the work. 

By transfer modification separately, you can revise modifications in IFS/Vehicle Information Management and transfer them to IFS/Manufacturing without creating new product structure revisions

Prerequisites

This activity requires that:

• The top template part has been transferred to the site, and it was transferred from the latest VIM structure version.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• If modifications are defined in IFS/Vehicle Information Management, an MRO modification header record will be created for each of the modifications in the structure, and an MRO part modification record will also be created for each affected part in these modifications.
