Set Serial To Life Limited

Explanation

This activity is used to define whether a serial which is not connected to a template should be life limited or not. To set the life limit of a serial you need to use the same rules as used when setting the life limit in a template structure. If a serial is life limited, has no template information and is a used serial (but a new serial within the system), the Life Limited field in the Component Life/General tab must be updated before the operational log history can be entered in the Component Life window.

Prerequisites

• The serial part must be defined as life limited. For more information, refer to the activity Supply Serial Part Information.
• For a serial to be defined as a life limited part or serial, it must have the Planned For Operation operational status.

System Effects
