Enter Affected Parts
Explanation
This activity is used to enter the serial/non serial parts that are affected
by the modification. Each part in the structure of the assigned part, on which
inspections or work is performed, and for which it is important to keep a record
of performed modifications, must be defined as affected parts. This is necessary
since the inspections and/or terminating actions for the modification are performed
on affected parts.
If IFS/Complex Assembly MRO is used, the description of the work that is
to be performed on each affected part is defined using repair codes. Therefore,
if the part affected by the modification is the same as the part to which the
modification is assigned, this part must be defined as an affected part in order
to enable the connection to repair codes. Repair codes per part are defined
in IFS Manufacturing. These repair codes can be connected in the
Modification Details/Assign Repair Codes tab
whilst planning the modification and/or in the Modification
Repair Codes page once the modification is transferred to manufacturing.
The affected part should exist in the structure of the part assigned to the
modification. Following data combinations can be used to specify the affected
parts for a modification:
- Affected Part Number - All occurrences of the part number in
the structure will be considered an affected part regardless of the part
revision or structure position.
- Affected Part Number and Affected Part Revision - The
part revision determines if it is an affected part or not. For example,
part A with revisions R01 and R02 exist. Part A and revision R01 is entered
as the affected part revision. Therefore only revision R01 of part A is
considered an affected part.
- Template Part Number, Template Part Revision and Affected
Structure Position - The part number and revision that is installed
in this position is considered an affected part.
- Affected Part Number, Template Part Number, Template
Part Revision and Affected Structure Position: The part is considered
an affected part regardless of the part revision, as long as the given part
number is installed in the affected structure position.
- Affected Part Number, Affected Part Revision, Template
Part Number, Template Part Revision and Affected Structure
Position: The part is considered an affected part only as long as the
given part number and revision is installed in the affected structure position.
If the modification leads to a part identity change on the affected serial
part, the new part number can be entered on this tab. You can also update the
manufacturer information registered on the serial. This is useful when, for
instance, the manufacturer of the new part number is different to the manufacturer
of the affected part. Furthermore, when the part identity is changed on a serial,
the manufacturer's part number registered on the serial is often changed as
well. This new manufacturer part number can be entered on this tab. If required,
you can also enter new values for the maintenance program and maintenance group
valid for the serial’s part number after the rename.
If the value in the Sign Off field is set to Affected serial marked
as complied with, the affected serial for the affected parts is marked as
complied with when the modification is performed. This feature is useful when
you want to identify the subcomponents that have been modified.
Prerequisites
- The modification must be in the Preliminary status.
- Part revisions must have been assigned to the modification.
- The part which is to be defined as an affected part must exist in the
template structure of the part that is assigned to the modification.
If the modification leads to a part identity change:
- The new part number and part revision for a modified part must exist
as a valid serial part revision.
- The new part number and revision must have been defined as a valid alternate
to the affected part.
- The new manufacturer and manufacturer's part number must have been defined
in IFS/Part Catalog.
- The new maintenance program must be valid for the new part number and
revision.
- The new maintenance group must be valid for the new part number.
System Effects
- When the modification event is completed on the assigned serials a history
record is created. The record will contain the serials in the structure
that match the requirements defined in the Modification Details/Affected
Parts tab, and where the value in the Sign Off field is set
to Affected serial marked as complied with.
- Affected serial history can be viewed in the Affected Serials
on Historical Modifications page.
- Once the modification leading to a part identity change is complied
with, the serial will be updated with the new part number, revision, manufacturer
information, maintenance program and group information entered on the affected
part. If the serial is assigned as to be performed on another modification,
the rename will cause the serial to be removed from that modification.
- When modifications are used in IFS/Complex Assembly MRO, Change to
Part Number is transferred as the New Part Number for the affected
part in Modification Repair Codes page.
