Set Post Maintenance Check Definition Active
Explanation
This activity is used to activate a post maintenance check (PMC) definition. Only one revision of a PMC
definition can be active at a point in time. If a revision of the PMC definition is already active, it will be made
obsolete when you activate another revision of the definition.
Some updates may be done on an active PMC definition. These are, modifying the intervals (operational and
calendar) defined on assigned parts, adding or removing part revisions from the definition, and adding or removing
task cards from the definition. When an active PMC definition is updated, a journal entry is created automatically
for the update.
The PMC definition can be connected to interval maintenance, convenience tasks, life limits, condition limits,
fault functions, faults, and modifications reported against the part revision on the definition. The
Maintenance Event Codes per Post Maintenance Check page can be used to view maintenance
event codes to which the definition is connected:
- Interval Maintenance - Displays information on all maintenance programs, maintenance codes and convenience
tasks to which the definition is connected.
- Condition Limit - Displays information on all condition limits to which the definition is connected.
- Modification - Displays information on all modifications to which the definition is connected.
- Fault Function - Displays information on all fault functions to which the definition is connected.
- Life Limit - Displays information on all life limits to which the definition is connected.
Prerequisites
- A PMC definition in the Preliminary status must exist.
- One or more serial parts and revisions must have been assigned to the PMC definition.
- Post maintenance intervals must have been defined for the assigned parts.
System Effects
- The PMC definition is activated. Only active PMC definitions can be used to generate post maintenance
checks.
- The active definition can be connected to interval maintenance, convenience tasks, life limits, condition
limits, fault functions, faults, and modifications associated with the assigned part revision. Active definitions
can also be connected when reporting a fault (if not defined already for the fault function) and while processing
maintenance events.
- When the triggering maintenance event is finished, pending post maintenance check events will be generated.
Information on the post maintenance checks generated for a definition can be viewed in the All
PMCs tab. The command View Referenced Maintenance Event can be used to view additional
information on the maintenance event that triggered the post maintenance check.
- An entry is created in the PMC definition journal.
