Connect Operations to Tasks

Explanation

This activity is used to connect operations to the tasks on a maintenance order. This is done when there exists a task without any predefined operations. It can also be done when you want to connect additional operations to a task.

When a maintenance order is set to the Under Preparation status, predefined active operations (instructions and subtasks) will be connected to all assigned tasks, and the tasks will be set to the Under Preparation status. However, if predefined operations do not exist for one or more tasks, the task will be set to the Incomplete status instead. At such instances you need to manually connect operations to these tasks before the tasks can be set to the Under Preparation status.

All connected tasks must be in the Under Preparation status before the maintenance order can be released.

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, instructions must exist for the part revision of the serial defined on the task(s) without operations. The task to which the operation is to be connected cannot be in either the Work Done or Finished status.

System Effects

• Instructions and connected subtasks will be defined for the selected task.
• If operations are added to a fault task on a maintenance order, the operations will be added automatically to the operation list of the fault.

If the distribution type defined on the maintenance order is Execution Logic Structure,

• and the operation is added to a task in the Under Preparation, Released or Started status, this operation and connected subtasks will be mapped automatically into the correct Execution Logic Orders (ELOs) in the Execution Logic Structure (ELS) which is defined for the maintenance order. If the operation does not fit any of the defined ELOs, it will be moved into the Ungrouped Operations node.
• and the operation is added to a task that is in either the Released or Started status, the operation will also be mapped to the correct ELO work order in IFS/Work Order Management.
