This activity is used to set up the deferral for a fault. A deferral can be categorized into two types, simple and complex. The simplest deferral definition has no maximum delay defined and can be used for all part revisions and functions. The maximum deferral delay is then specified for each fault. The more complex deferral definition requires different deferral items to be defined with a maximum delay, and each deferral item needs to be associated with the part revision for which it will be valid. Both deferral types are set up in the Deferral Definition page.
To perform this activity, enable the Enable Fault Deferral option (found in the Deferrals area in Manage Fault Information page) to enable the deferral fields for update.
The fault is deferred in accordance to the information registered on the deferral.
