Copy Maintenance Level Structures

Explanation

You can copy the maintenance structure (assembly, disassembly and disposition structure data) from one revision of a position part to another. This is useful when the user has previously transferred a new revision of a service structure into manufacturing from VIM, and does not wish to manually recreate all of the maintenance data previously defined on an older revision of that structure in manufacturing. Maintenance levels are defined for parts and revisions, and each maintenance level can point to some or all of the components of the monolithic structure of that part and revision.

Prerequisites

A maintenance level structure must exist.

System Effects

The copy process will bring over the maintenance level definitions as they existed on an earlier revision, and will copy any additional components that may have been manually added to the maintenance structure in manufacturing on that earlier revision.

The copy process works through a multi-level structure, which means the process will navigate through the components and copy their components, all the way through the multi-level structure until it no longer can find component records. The size of this structure is totally dependent on the number of levels involved.
