Entering Transport Routes—Exercises
Main Exercise
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to become
experienced in setting up transport routes.
Prerequisite: In this lesson you will apply a template
route previously defined in the Basic Data and Requirements Exercises for Manage
Serialized Configuration.
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show you how to
copy a template route to plan an actual transport. You will send one of your
Nose Landing Gear serials from Los Angeles (LA) to Oslo. The departure date is tomorrow.
There will be a 2 hour delay on departure from LA. Due to heavy traffic, transit
time (idle time) in London has to be increased by 3 hours.
Windows:
Serial Structure Information
Steps: To complete this lesson, perform the following steps.
- Open the
Serial Structure Information
window.
- Query (F3) for your part number nX32NLG7001 and serial number nX31000.
- Click the Additional Serial Info tab and then click the Transport Route
sub tab.
- Create a new record (F5) and use the List of Values to enter the nLAXOSL template.

the information (F12).
- The
Enter Start Time dialog box opens. Enter the start
time and click OK.
- Right click and then click Copy Template Route.
- Enter "current date+1" and "02:00:00" (to adjust for the 2
hour
delay)
- Click OK and the calculated transport route comes up.
- To adjust to the extra 3 hour transit time in London, modify the time
stamps for departure time from London and arrival time and departure
time in Oslo.
- Save the information (F12)
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show you how to
reuse an earlier route to plan a new transport. Due to limited capacity the
transport has to be postponed to the following day. The 3 hour delay in London is
still expected and there will also be a 1 hour delay on departure from LA (3
hours from the origin plan).
