Action Manual Change

Explanation

This activity is used to make manual changes to part groups. Manual changes include:

• Changing a Part Group from Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) to Shop Replaceable Unit (SRU)

  All part groups created in Allowable Configuration are by default set as LRU’s and can be changed to SRU’s. Part groups on the root configuration slot of an aircraft assembly such as an aircraft cannot be an LRU.

  Note: KIT part groups cannot be designed as SRU’s

• Assigning Sensitivities

   Maintenix supports the following sensitive system types:

  • Category III Instrument Landing System (CAT III)
  • Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance Standards (ETOPS)
  • Required Inspection Item (RII)
  • Fatigue Critical Baseline Structure (FCBS)
  • Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM)

  To assign sensitivities to an assembly, the affected sensitivities must be assigned to the respective assembly in Maintenix, prior to exporting configuration data.

  The sensitivities assigned to an assembly can be further assigned to, or unassigned from the assemblies’ respective systems or subsystems. 

   

• Adding Incompatibility Scope

In Maintenix, all parts are compatible with other parts, and part numbers can be installed on an assembly regardless of what tasks are completed or open on the assembly. You can identify parts which are incompatible with their scope; Global or Assembly Position Type.

Note: A part assigned to a Part Group which belongs to an Aircraft Assembly Class cannot have an incompatible part with an Assembly Position Type.

• Part Inventory Class Transformation

  Maintenix allows you to change the inventory class of a part that is assigned to a part group, or the inventory class of a part group. The allowed inventory class transformations are:

  • Promoting a part from batch-controlled to serial controlled
    Note: If multiple alternate parts are assigned to the part group, the transformation will be restricted.
  • Promoting a part from serial-controlled to tracked
  • Demoting a part group from tracked to serial-controlled
  • Demoting a part from serial-controlled to batch-controlled
    Note: If multiple alternate parts are assigned to the part group, the transformation will be restricted. At tranformation, the Unit of Measure (UOM) of the part will be same as the serial-controlled part by default.
• Assigning Manufacturer

  Maintenix allows you to assign the manufacturer when a new part is created. In a situation where a new manufacturer is concerned, the manufacturer must be created prior.

• Approving newly assigned parts

  The newly created alternate parts that have been suggested through the IPC after the change sets are processed, are displayed in the flag for alternate parts tab where the user has the capability to approve the parts individually, in multiples or in bulk.

Prerequisites

• The affected part groups must exist.
• The status of the change source must be InProgress or New.
• The status of the change set in the IPC Change Source must be Pending. 

System Effects

• The manual change will be logged in Action Log tab on the part group.
