Initial Exercises

Purpose: The purpose of these initial exercises is that the instructor will use them for demonstrating the basic functionality in Manufacturing Standards for MRO, which entails:

IMPORTANT
These initial exercises are intended for instructor use.

If you are a student, it is extremely important that you set up and work within your own site to maintain your data integrity. If you work within any other site, you will compromise your own exercise data as well as the data of other students. Predictable exercise results require that your data be isolated in your own site.

Steps: To complete this exercise, perform the following steps.

  1. Open the Template Part window.
  2. Query for template part number 11000.
  3. Right-click and then click Serial Structure Templates Prepared to Manufacturing.
  4. On window Serial Structure Templates Prepared to Manufacturing, Right-click and then click Prepare Transfer to Manufacturing.
  5. On Transfer Options dialog, enter 06C in the Transfer Prefix field if template part has not been transferred previously. Clear the Run In Background check box. Click OK. This will start transfer of serial structure template to holding table.
  6. Click the Serial Structure Templates Prepared to Manufacturing/Temporary Transfer tab.
  7. Part No shown on the detailed table is the Position Part No created during prepare transfer process.  The format is following this formula:  Transfer Prefix + Delimiter  + Catalog Number (CSN).
  8. Detailed table shows temporary structures on holding table for position parts. The similar information can be viewed on cross reference table in Part/Position Part tab.
  9. Open the Transfer MRO Template Structure window.
  10. Query for top template part number 11000.
  11. Verify the value of Last Changed and Transfer Prepared Date on the header. Last Changed is the date of last change on VIM serial structure template. Transfer Prepared Date is the date of last transfer from VIM serial structure template to holding table.
  12. Click the Transfer MRO Template Structuretab. Verify the value of Date Last Transferred and Last Phase In Date on your site XX90. These fields are blank if no transfer was done for the site. The Transfer Template Id field is filled with default part template XXMRO and the New Phase In Date is defaulted to today's site date.
  13. Select the row on your site XX90. Right-click on the row, and then click Transfer to Manufacturing. Click OK to confirm the transfer.
  14. Verify the value of Date Last Transferred is today's site date, Last Phase In Date is today's site date, and proposed New Phase In Date is today's site date + 1 on your site XX90.
  15. Open the Product Structure window.
  16. Query for top template part number 06C/7200 on your site XX90.
  17. Click the Product Structure/Query - Multi Level tab.
  18. The template structure transfer creates inventory parts for all the position parts, actual parts, and alternate parts on your site XX90. The template structure transfer also creates disassembly and assembly structures that match the VIM serial structure template. These manufacturing structures are constructed using the position parts.

Note: Delimiter to be used when concatenating the position part can be overridden in the property name POSITION PART DELIMITER in Object Property
