Conclude Work Order from Fleet and Asset Management
Explanation
This activity is used to conclude a work order with the connection type
VIM. Once the necessary information is entered and the work is completed,
the work order can be set to the Finished status.
A part identity change on serials in IFS/Fleet and Asset Management can be
achieved when the modification causing the identity change is embodied through
IFS/Work Order Management. If a modification event (with execution type Terminating
Action) resulting in a part identity change is distributed as a normal work
order, the serials assigned to and/or affected by the modification will be renamed
automatically with the new part number and revision once the work order is finished.
The system will perform a check to validate the following information before
renaming the serial and setting the modification work order to the Finished
status:
- the new part number is a valid alternate of the old part number (i.e.,
if the serial being renamed is installed in a structure)
- the maintenance program and maintenance group for the old part number
is valid for the new part number (i.e., if a new maintenance program and
revision is not entered for the serial being renamed)
- the manufacturer and manufacturer part number of the old part number
is valid for the new part number (i.e., when a new manufacturer and manufacturer
part number is not entered for the serial being renamed)
- the template of the old part number is valid for the new part number
(i.e., if the serial being renamed has a structure)
- all running events for the serial which are mandatory to cancel have
been cancelled or finished with.
- the serial being renamed is not included in a work scope that is in
any status between Started or Closed (i.e., if the serial
is used in a Complex Assembly MRO flow).
This activity can be used to conclude a modification event in IFS/Work Order
Management, where the modification being concluded introduces one or more new
structure positions into a template structure or removes an existing structure
position from the template structure. When a new structure position is added
to a template structure as a result of a modification, an empty structure position
will be added automatically to the serial structure for which the modification
is embodied. If an existing structure position has become invalid as a result
of the modification, this structure position will be removed from the template
when the modification is embodied. When this is done, the empty structure position
that corresponds with the removed position will be removed automatically from
the serial structure for which the modification is embodied. Empty structure
positions are used to indicate where expected serials or parts are missing from
a serial structure.
When concluding a modification work order, you can specify the historical
records that are to be updated with the new part number and revision of the
serial being renamed. You can choose to update the operational log history,
replacement history, as well as other history records by enabling the relevant
option. You can also modify the maintenance program, maintenance group and manufacturer
information for the serial as described in this activity.
You can set the work order Status to Finished
from the Execute Work Order page.
Note: If the work order is created for a modification event leading
to a part identity change on a serial, the following information can be changed
in the Maintenance Event Completion Information/Modification tab
prior to completion of the event or when concluding the work order.
- If the maintenance program is to be changed on the serial being renamed,
enter the new maintenance program, the new revision of the maintenance program
in the relevant fields. If the maintenance group is to be changed on the
serial being renamed, enter the new maintenance group in the Maintenance Group
field as well. Note: When the maintenance group is changed, the
operational parameters are changed according to the new maintenance group.
- By default, the Disconnect Serial from Maintenance Program option is
enabled when no valid maintenance program exists for the new part number
and revision. If you want to change the manufacturer of the serial, enter
the new manufacturer's number and the new manufacturer part number in the
relevant fields.
- You can enable the Update Operational Log History option if you
want to update operational log history records for the serial with the new
part number and revision. If you want to update replacement history records
for the serial with the new part number and revision, enable the Update
Replacement History option. Enable the Update Other History option,
if you want to update other history records for the serial with the new
part number and revision.
Prerequisites
- All work order information must have been reported in.
- All work tasks must be in either Finished or Cancelled
status.
- The Actual Finish Date must be specified.
The following prerequisites are required when the work order created for
a modification event with execution type Terminating Action and distribution
type Work Order is concluded:
- If the event being finished is a modification event of execution type
Terminating Action and leads to a part identity change, the new part
number and revision must have been entered for the serial. These values
can be entered in the Define Modification/Assign Part Revisions
tab or the Modification Details/Affected Parts
tab.
- If the modification work is supposed to result in an automatic part
identity change for a serial installed in the structure, the new part number
must have been defined as a valid alternative for the old part number.
- If the event being finished is a modification event of execution type
Terminating Action and leads to a part identity change, a valid manufacturer
and manufacturer part number must exist for the new part number of the serial.
- If the event being finished is a modification event of execution type
Terminating Action and leads to a part identity change, a valid maintenance
program and maintenance group must exist for the new part number of the
serial.
- If the event being finished is a modification event of execution type
Terminating Action and leads to a part identity change, the serial
cannot exist on a shop order with a status between Started and
Closed when using a Complex Assembly MRO flow.
System Effects
- The status of the work order is set to the Finished status.
- The work order becomes a historical record and can be used for informational
purposes.
- A journal entry is created for this event. Journal entries are generated
in the Prepare Work Order/ Journal and Conclude
Work Order/ Journal pages.
- If the Execution Logic Structure distribution type
was used, the Work Order Finished field will be enabled
on the Execution logic Order (ELO) corresponding to the concluded work order.
If the Work Order distribution type was used, the
Work order Finished field will be enabled for the corresponding
event on the maintenance order.
The following system effects will occur when the work order created for a
modification event of execution type Terminating Action, and leading
to a part identity change is concluded:
- When the work order created for the modification event leading to a
part identity change is finished, the part number of the serial will be
changed all through IFS/Fleet and Asset Management.
- Information on the modification that has been complied with is retained
in the serial identification history in IFS/Fleet and Asset Management.
This modification can be used as a reference for the reason a part identity
change was performed on the serial.
- If a modification leading to a part identity change is embodied, the
part number of the serial will also be changed in Part Serial Catalog and
history will be generated.
- If the serial is in Inventory (i.e., the current position set to
In Inventory) when being renamed through the embodiment of a modification,
the correct quantity on hand will be created for the renamed individual.
- If the part number and/or serial number of the serial is changed through
the embodiment of a modification, on a serial that exists in the
Work Task/Returns tab or the Execute Work
Task/Returns tab, the part number and/or serial number of
this serial will be updated as well.
- If the serial's configuration becomes invalid as a result of the rename,
the operational status of the renamed serial is automatically set to
Out Of Operation.
- If the structure template information for the old template structure
is not valid for the new template structure, the operational condition of
the renamed serial is set to Non Operational.
