Perform Due Calculation
Explanation
This activity is used to start one or several due calculations for a specific
serial. The valid options to run are:
- Due calculation for interval maintenance tasks
- Due calculation for LLP (life limited part) tasks
- Due calculation for modifications tasks
- Recalculation of PMC (post maintenance check) tasks for fault and
modifications
- Recalculation for fault deferrals
The due calculations can be run for the entire serial structure or just for
the serial itself. There is also an option to run the calculations as a
background job and this is recommended if the calculations are to be run for the
entire structure.
Prerequisites
- The serial to be calculated, cannot have an operational status of
Planned for Operation and it cannot be locked.
- An average operational value (per month) for the serial must exist.
- To run the due calculation for interval maintenance, an active
maintenance program with a defined maintenance plan must exist.
- For life limited parts to be calculated, life limited information must
be defined for the serial.
- For the modification due calculation to be run, an active modification
must have been assigned to the serial.
- To run the calculation for PMC tasks, a fault or a modification must
exist and a post maintenance check definition must have been set up for it.
The fault or modification must have been completed and the serial must have
reached the limit that triggers the post maintenance check.
- For the fault deferral calculation to run, a fault with fault deferral
information enabled must exist for the serial. In addition, the fault
deferral must have been approved.
System Effects
- Due calculations for the serial will be run to calculate due dates and
values.
- Pending tasks will be created if the criteria for when a task is to be
created is fulfilled.

Procedure
For all the windows listed above you can run the option to perform due
calculations. The procedure described below is for the Serial Maintenance
window, but a similar procedure can be performed from the other windows as well.
- Open the Serial Maintenance window.
- Query (F3) for the serial for which you will run the due calculations.
- Right-click anywhere in the header of the window and then click
Perform Due Calculation to open the Perform Due Calculation
dialog box.
- Select the calculations that should be performed for the serial by
checking the options in the dialog.
- If you want to perform the due calculations for all serials in the
serial structure, select the Calculate Entire Structure check box.
- To perform the due calculations as a background job, select the Run
in Background check box.
- Click OK.
When the due calculations are finished, you can view the calculated due dates
and values for all types in the Serial Maintenance window besides
for
the fault deferrals. Fault deferrals can be viewed in the Serial
Operational Info/Fault/Additional sub tab.
