Create Service Object

Explanation

Use this activity to create a new service object. The information required as mandatory inputs will be dependent on the serialization of the object.  When creating a serialized object, the Object ID, Description, Part, Serial Number and the Owner are all mandatory. For a non-serialized object only the object ID and the Description are mandatory.  Further to this, information such as the Parent Object, Model etc. can be set up for a service object.

'Model', 'Serialization' and 'Part' lists will maintain the following dependencies:

• When the user selects a Model, the parts list is filtered to show the parts that are connected to the selected model and the serialization is set to the same serialization as the model automatically.
• When the user selects a serialization, the model list is filtered to show only the models that has the matching serialization to the one selected for the object.
• When user selects a part, the Model is automatically set if the part-model connection is found. However, setting the part will NOT automatically set the serialization.

Note: After you save the record, the system automatically sets the object's operational status to 'In Operation'.

Prerequisites

• The Part must exist in IFS/Part Catalog.
• The Model must exist in the Model page and the serializations of the service object and the Model should match.
•  The serialization of the service object \and the serialization of the Model should match if the selected part is connected to a model.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, a new service object is created. Skills will be inherited to the service object automatically from the Model/Part if applicable. Spares specified in the model will be displayed only if model is connected. You can enter additional information on the object after creation.
