Windows:
CAMRO Interim Order Structure

1. Make sure that you have created and released the order structure and completed all the disassembly, disposition and repair shop orders as mentioned in the prerequisite exercises. 
2. Note the created interim header ID and work order number in the table given below.
3. Check if the lowest level assembly shop order in the CAMRO Interim Order Structure/Tree Structure/Assembly/Supply Order tab is already in Reserved state.
4. Verify that there is no log record in the CAMRO Interim Order Structure/Preliminary Conformance Log tab. There may not be any error record if you have performed the prerequisites exercises correctly.

Allocate Replacement LLP from Inventory

Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to receive one serial part into inventory in place of the life limited part which was removed during disposition and to add serial data in IFS/VIM. This data is to be used during assembly.

Windows:
Purchase Order
Register Purchase Order Arrivals
Serials from Inventory
Part Serial

1. Open the Purchase Order window and create a new record for the supplier XX_SUP.

2. Create a new purchase order line for the part you have removed as a life limited part (LLP) at Disposition (for this exercise it is part XX_B). In the Receive Case list, click Receive into Inventory. In the Ownership list, click Customer Owned.

3. Save the record and release the purchase order.

4. Open the Register Purchase Order Arrivals window and query for part XX_B. Select the line, right-click and then click Receive Order with Serials. This will open the Receive with Differences dialog box. Verify the Condition Code field at the header is automatically filled with NORMAL. Enter a serial number in the Serial No field in the table area and click OK to receive the part.

5. Open the Serials From Inventory window and query for part XX_B. Select the line, right-click and then click Create Serial. This will open the Create Serial from Inventory and Remote dialog box. In the Part Revision field, use the List of Values to select a part revision. Select the Set Out of Operation check box. Use the List of Values to enter a value in the Manufacturer's Part Number field. In the Manufactured Date field, enter a date in the future. In the Ownership list, click Company Owned.

6. Click OK. Note: If both the operational condition and operational status of the serial in inventory is set to Not Applicable, the corresponding VIM serial will be created with the operational status Planned for Operation and the operational condition Non Operational.

You can now use part XX_B for assembly when it is assigned to the assembly shop order of its parent position part. (For this exercise it is the assembly shop order for PP/XX_ENG).

Main Exercise

Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to receive assembled products on MRO shop orders using manual receipt.
 

Windows:
MRO Shop Order
CAMRO Interim Order Structure

Your customer has sent a turbine aircraft engine for overhaul and repair according to your service agreement. The work scope for this specific engine has been decided, released to the shop for disassembly and disposition, had repairs and modifications performed on it, and is now ready for reassembly. You must now process the assembly orders to restore the engine to a complete and functional state.

Note: The order structure for this engine includes several levels of assembly orders. Assembly is a bottom-up process. You need to reassemble lower-level assemblies which then become components in higher-level assemblies. This exercise only deals with two assembly orders directly, but you will need to receive all assemblies to get the engine into a state where it can be returned to the customer.

The following parts will need to be assembled, based on the work scope you created in the Create CAMRO Interim Order Structure exercise.

Assembly Order Receipt

NOTE: You have to begin from the lowest level of assembly orders, in this case it is the assembly shop order for position part PP/XX_A1. You need to have run the preliminary conformance check successfully for this shop order.

1. Open the CAMRO Interim Order Structure window and query for the interim header ID for this exercise. On the Tree Structure/Assembly tab, select the node representing the assembly order for the EMU, Fan (position part PP/XX_A1).
2. Click the Supply Orders tab to view pegged supply shop orders for this item. You should see a shop order number listed there.
3. Select the shop order supply record, right-click and then click Shop Order to open the MRO Shop Order window.
4. In the MRO Shop Order window, click the Material tab. Verify that the components shown are reserved for the order.
5. Right-click anywhere in the header, point to Material Actions and then click Issue. In the Enter criteria for issue dialog box, select the Issue All Reserved Material check box and click OK to issue the engine from inventory to the assembly order.
6. Right-click anywhere in the header and then click Report to open the MRO Report Shop Order Operation window. In this window, click the Operations tab, select all the records, right-click and then click Report Time to report standard operation hours for the disassembly order.
7. Return to the MRO Shop Order window, right-click anywhere in the header, point to Material Actions and then click Manual Receive to open the Receive MRO Shop Order window.
8. Right-click anywhere in the header, point to Assembly Tracking Handling and then click Build Tracked Structure. You can proceed with the rest of this exercise if the structures are built without error.
9. In the Receive MRO Shop Order window, verify that the value in the Received Part Type field is Products. Select part XX_A1 as the part to be received. Click the Serial Inventory Receipt tab and create a new record. In the Serial Number field, use the List of Values to enter the serial number expected for the part in this position. In the Condition Code field, use the List of Values to enter NORMAL. Save.
10. Go back to the CAMRO Interim Order Structure window and check the assembly shop order for the position part PP/XX_A. Part XX_A1 is now allocated to this shop order and you can see it in the Assignment tab. Open the assembly shop order and see that the part XX_A1 is already reserved.

Assembly Order Receipt with Partial Part Allocation

The disassembly of part PP/XX_A (real part XX_A) did not fully disassemble that part. This left some remainder of the part that would need to be accounted for. This remainder, or the partial part, was received during the execution of the Performing Disassembly Shop Order exercise. When you re-assemble part XX_A, this remainder will be needed as a component in that assembly.

NOTE: You are required to have performed assembly receipt for the assemblies that appear below part XX_A in the interim order structure. You can use the CAMRO Interim Order Structure window to see the orders you need to deal with before dealing with the Module A, Fan assembly. You need to have run the preliminary conformance check successfully for this shop order.

1. Open the CAMRO Interim Order Structure window and query for the interim demand ID for this exercise. On the Tree Structure/Assembly tab, click the node representing the assembly order for the Module A, Fan item (position part PP/XX_A).
2. Click the Supply Orders tab to view pegged supply shop orders for this item. You should see a shop order number listed there.
3. Select the shop order supply record, right-click and then click Shop Order to open the MRO Shop Order window.
4. In the MRO Shop Order window, click the Material tab. There should be two parts allocated to the order; the XX_A1 and XX_A components received from the disassembly of XX_A, and the partial remains of XX_A. All parts should be reserved to the order.
5. Right-click anywhere in the header, point to Material Actions and then click Issue. In the Enter criteria for issue dialog box, select the Issue All Reserved Material check box and click OK to issue the engine from inventory to the assembly order.
6. Right-click anywhere in the header and click Report to open the MRO Report Shop Order Operation window. In this window, click the Operations tab and select all the records. Right-click and then click Report Time to report standard operation hours for the assembly order. Close this window.

8. Right-click anywhere in the header, point to Assembly Tracking Handling and then click Build Tracked Structure.
9. In the Receive MRO Shop Order window, verify that the value in the Received Part Type field is Products. Select part XX_A as the part to be received. Click the Serial Inventory Receipt tab and create a new record. In the Serial Number field, use the List of Values to enter the serial number expected for the part in this position. In the Condition Code field, use the List of Values to select NORMAL. Save.
10. In the CAMRO Interim Order Structure window, query for your interim demand ID. Select the top level order node in the graphical object structure in the Tree Structure/Assembly tab. Select the assembly order for part XX_ENG and then click the Supply Orders tab. Select the shop order shown there, right-click and then click Shop Order. This will open the MRO Shop Order window. In the Material tab, verify that there is an allocation for part XX_A, and that the allocation is in a Reserved state.

Final Assembly Order Receipt

You have now completed assembling the part XX_A and it is now assigned to the assembly shop order for part PP/XX_ENG ( XX_A is now reserved ). Also note that the part XX_C is also reserved. You do not see any entry of part XX_B since you did not expect a material demand at dispositioning. (You entered disposition code 40).

NOTE: This will require you to have performed assembly receipt for the assemblies that appear below part XX_ENG in the interim order structure. You need to have run the preliminary conformance check successfully for this shop order.
