Procedures

View part and inventory information

Select Part Search  in the Task Details and Fault Details pages to evaluate available inventory and part details before initiating a parts request. These pages ensure visibility into part availability across stock locations and assist in determining whether to proceed with part requests or identify alternative options.

Add part installation or removal records

You must be online to perform this procedure.

1. Open the Task Details or Fault Details page and select Add/Remove Part or select + from the MATERIAL tab. You can also add part installation or removal records from the My Part Requests page on the mobile app.
   1.  If you are adding part requirements from the My Part Requests page, select the aircraft, work package, and the task.
2. Under the Enhanced Part Search section, select the following:
   1. Part number
   2. If the part belongs to multiple part groups, select the part group from which the part should be issued.
   3. If the part is for a configuration slot with multiple positions, select the position.
3. (Optional) Replace the selected part with an interchangeable part. If required, view part conditions.
4. Specify the quantity for a batch and serial parts.
5. Set the scheduling Action:
   1. REQ: Processes the part request through IFS Cloud Supply Chain.
   2. NOREQ: The part is sourced through other channels, such as bench stock, a third party, or a kit.
6. Select whether you want to add part installation and part removal records.
   1.  By default, a part installation record is selected for all part types and a part removal record is selected for all part types, except consumables.
   2.  If a part installation or removal record already exists for the same position and configuration slot on the task, you cannot add another part installation or removal record for that position and slot.
7. If a part removal record was added in the previous step, select the reason for removing the part.
   1.  Removal Reason defaults to Ship or Shelf (SOS) if the selected part has the SOS attribute.
8. Select the required date.
   1.  If the part requirement is for a work package that is scheduled, the scheduled start date/time of the work package is selected by default.
   2.  If the part requirement is for a task that is in-work, the date/time the part requirement is raised is selected by default.
9. Add a note with any additional information that may help material controllers source the part. E.g., Include publication references such as the AMM, SRM, or IPC, or special handling instructions.
10. Select Add to add the part requirement or Add & Search Again to add another part.

Notes:

• You can edit the quantity, installation and removal requirements, removal reason, required by date, and notes by selecting the pencil icon on the Material tab, if the part has not been issued to the task.
• You can remove the part installation or removal if they have not been signed off.
