Repair codes represent generic definitions of repair activities used to perform or build up a repair. Generic repair code examples for an engine might be: Change Oil, Flush Radiator, Adjust Timing Belt, etc. Alternatively, repair codes could be defined at a more detailed level - Remove Oil Drain Plug, Drain Oil, Replace Oil Filter, Add Oil - and used to build up a repair (e.g., change oil). Repair codes must be associated with an inventory part before they can be used. Repair codes are also associated with the combination of service type and repair part. You can connect several repair codes to the service type and part combination. The repair code is a way of grouping:
Sets of one or more repair codes are then built up as a way to identify the steps required to perform repair. Repair codes are also used in combination with monolithic repair structures and routings to define the set of operations and components needed to perform a specific repair code on a particular part.
Furthermore, repair codes are used for parts affected by modifications and discrepancies.
Repair codes can be entered anytime. However, in this context, the intention is for the repair codes to be entered after the structures for which the repair addresses have been transferred from Fleet and Asset Management.
