Enable Fault Deferral

Explanation

This activity is used to set up the deferral for a fault. A deferral can be categorized into two types, simple and complex. The simplest deferral definition has no maximum delay defined and can be used for all part revisions and functions. The maximum deferral delay is then specified for each fault. The more complex deferral definition requires different deferral items to be defined with a maximum delay, and each deferral item needs to be associated with the part revision for which it will be valid. Both deferral types are set up in the Deferral Definition window.

Prerequisites

• A deferral definition needs to be defined. For more information, refer to the activity Define Fault Deferral.
• A fault needs to be defined.

System Effects
