This activity is used to connect a maintenance program to a serial. If a valid active maintenance program is defined for the part number and revision of the serial, you need to connect the maintenance program to the serial before you can set the serial to either the In Operation or Out Of Operation status for the first time.
If access control is established for parts and serials, you can only work with the serials to which you are granted access. Likewise, if access control is established for maintenance programs, you can only view and connect the maintenance programs to which you have access. Access control is established by setting up access groups with valid users and assigning the applicable access group to the part or maintenance program to which access should be restricted.
To connect a maintenance program to a serial that is in the Planned For Operation status, click the Serial Information tab from the Manage Serial Structure page and enter a maintenance program for the serial. You can also connect a maintenance program to a serial by using the Change Maintenance Program assistant. For more information, refer to the activity Change Maintenance Program and/or Maintenance Group for Structure.
As a result of this activity, maintenance programs are connected to the serials on which it will be performed.
