Install Part
Explanation
This activity is used to install into the serial structure a structure entry
lacking a serial number. You can connect both serialized and non-serialized
parts using this activity. Only a part that is the same as or is an alternate
for the part that was previously installed in the structure position can be
installed. When installing parts to a structure position, you are allowed to
install any prime parts or valid alternates, provided that the operational status
of the structure was not changed from Planned For Operation. Once the
operational status of the structure is changed from Planned For Operation,
rules of interchangeability will be applied and you will no longer be allowed
to install alternate parts that do not meet the validations for interchangeability
of alternate parts. Note that it is also possible to install any prime parts
or alternates for structure positions in completely new structures which are
In Operation or Out Of Operation, but where no parts are installed
after a structure change was performed. If nothing has been installed in the
structure position the prime part of the serial structure template is used.
When a part is installed into a structure having an operational status of
either In Operation or Out Of Operation, an entry will be created
in the replacement history.
Depending on your workflow, you can perform this activity by clicking the
option Perform Structure Change from one of the following pages.
- Manage Serial Structure
- Serial Initialization
- Perform Structure Change
- Execute Work Task
- Flight Log/Fault
Following is a description of the information that can be entered in each
assistant step.
Step 1 - Structure Change Selection
- Select the install part option from the structure change section.
Note: If you are using the Perform Structure Change
assistant page, Execute Work Task page or the
Flight Log/Fault tab to perform this activity,
first you have to select the serial for which you want to perform a structure
change. If the structure change is to be performed further down in the structure
of the selected serial, enable the Perform Structure Change for
Sub Serial option and enter the required sub serial details.
Step 2 - Structure Change Details
- The vehicle ID, top part number and top serial number appear automatically
in the Install or Swap into section. A structure position must exist
for a part to be installed in the structure, enter the structure position
in which the part is to be installed.
- Enter a part and a part revision. You can enter the workshop responsible
for installing the part. If you want to connect the part installation to
a maintenance event, enter a value for the Mx Event Number field.
- Enter the date and time the structure change is to be performed. Enable
the Unscheduled Removal option if this structure change is to be
an unscheduled removal. Enable the Run in Batch option if you want
access rights for the installed part (only if child serials are installed
in the part) to be updated through a batch job.
Prerequisites
System Effects
- You will fit the selected non-serialized part to a predefined serial
structure position.
- The structure position into which the part is installed will become
an installed structure position.
- If the part is installed on a work task, an install transaction will
be created in the structure change log for the work task.
- If the installation causes a Mandatory type dependency rule to
be violated, the operational condition of the parent serial will be set
to Non Operational.
- The Item Installed option will be enabled for the installed part.
- If the part installed is defined as an alternate with the Qualified
Interchangeable interchangeability rule, the alternate must be approved
before the operational condition for the structure can be set to Operational.
