Set Serial Structure Out Of Operation
Explanation
This activity is used to set the operational status for the selected serial
and all serials below it in the structure to Out Of Operation. You can
use this activity during the following instances:
- when you build a serial structure and want to set its operational status
from Planned For Operation to Out Of Operation for the first
time
- if there are some serials in the serial structure that have the Out
Of Operation status whilst the other serials do not
When the structure is In Operation the operational condition of all
serials in the structure will be Operational. Once the operational status
of the structure is changed from In Operation to Out Of Operation,
you can change the operational condition of all serials in the structure to
Non Operational.
When building a new serial structure, the operational status is initially
set to Planned For Operation and the operational condition to Non
Operational. If the serials are not new (but new within the system), the
serial's history data must be entered in the
Serial Initialization
page. To do this, the serials must be in the Out Of Operation status.
When the serials are set to Out Of Operation, default values are created
for the operational log and interval maintenance. The serials are assigned to
modifications if the serials are within a defined serial range or if the serials
have a part number which is assigned to the modification.
If the operational status is changed from Planned For Operation to
Out Of Operation while the Set Structure Operational option is
enabled, the structure is verified and validations are performed (these are
the same validations that are performed when a structure is set to In Operation).
Once the operational condition of the serials is set to Operational,
the structure is complete. You are highly recommended to verify the new total
operational values and other information entered in the
Serial Initialization
page.
You can perform this activity using the Manage Serial Structure
page or the Serial Initialization page.
- If the status of the serial is In Operation, then click
Serial Structure and select the option Set Structure
Out of Operation.
- If you want to change the operational status of a serial and its structure
from Planned for Operation to Out of Operation, then click
Serial Structure and select the option Set Structure
Out of Operation to open the Set Serial Out of Operation
dialog. In the Set Serial Out of Operation dialog, enter
a structure change date used to create an entry in the replacement history
if the serial is installed in a structure. This creates an entry in the
replacement history for all the serials in the structure and the serial
you have selected.
- To set the operational status of a serial to Out of Operation,
click Serial and select the option Out of Operation
to open the
Set Serial to
be Out of Operation dialog. Enable the Set the serial to be
Non Operational option from the dialog, if you want to change the operational
condition of the serial to Non Operational at the same time that
you are setting the serial out of operation.
Prerequisites
- The Set Structure Out Of Operation option is enabled only if
the operational status of the serial is set to a value other than Out
Of Operation.
System Effects
- The operational status for the selected serial and all the serials in
its structure is set to Out Of Operation status.
- If the current operational status of the serial is Planned For Operation
when you change it to Out of Operation, you are prompted to enter
a structure change date that is used to create an entry in the replacement
history if the serial is installed in a structure. This creates an entry
in the replacement history for all of the serials in the structure in addition
to the serial you have selected.
- If the operational status is changed from Planned For Operation
to Out Of Operation and Set Structure Operational is selected,
all serials receive the operational condition Operational if the
structure is validated and found to be acceptable.
- All due calculations for the serial will be run to calculate due dates
and values.
