Remove Part or Serial

Explanation

This activity is used to remove a part or serial from the serial structure. The removal of a part or serial from the structure is done by removing the reference to the parent record in the structure. The structural record for the removed part or serial will still exist in the system, but as a not installed one. When a part or serial is removed from a serial structure, the structure position of the removed part or serial will become an empty structure position. Empty structure positions are used to indicate where expected serials or parts are missing from the serial structure. Whether a structure position is installed or not can be identified by the value in the Item Installed field. If this option is enabled, a serial exists in the structure position and this position is considered an installed structure position. If the option is not disabled, a serial does not exist in the structure position and it is considered an empty structure position.

After removing, the overlying serial in the structure will be set to Out of Operation and Non Operational if the removed structure record is part of the minimum configuration. An entry in the replacement history is generated (one record for the removed part or serial).

If access control is established, you can remove only the parts or serials to which you have access. Establishing access control is done by assigning a user to an access group defined in basic data. The access groups will be used to extend access to all or selected parts and serials in a structure. When a part or serial is to be removed from a structure, you can specify the access rights you want to keep for it. You can select to either keep the current access rights for the part or serial, update the part/serial with the default access rights, or you can select the access groups you want to keep for the removed part/serial.
