This activity is used to assign part revisions to a maintenance program. When a serial part is assigned to a maintenance program, all existing revisions of the serial part will be assigned to the maintenance program by default. If a new part revision is created after the serial part is assigned to the maintenance program, the new part revision can be assigned manually. Use the Define Maintenance Program/Assign Part Revisions tab to view or assign part revisions.
If a new part revision is created after the maintenance program is activated, it is possible to assign the part revision to the maintenance program, provided that the serial part to which the part revision belongs is already assigned to the maintenance program. When the maintenance program is active, use the Add Part Revision option in the Assign Part Revisions tab to add the part revision to the maintenance program.
If access control is established, you must have access to the maintenance program before you can assign part revisions to the maintenance program. To establish access control, access groups must be defined in basic data, and the preferred users must be connected to the access group. All users that are members of an access group, will have access to the serials and maintenance programs defined for the selected access group. For more information on enabling access control for maintenance programs, refer the activity Enter or Modify an Access Group for a Maintenance Program.
To perform this activity, serial parts must have been assigned to the maintenance program and a new part revision that is not already included on the maintenance program must exist.
