Enter Affected Parts

Explanation

This activity is used to enter the serial/non serial parts that are affected by the modification. Each part in the structure of the assigned part, on which inspections or work is performed, and for which it is important to keep a record of performed modifications, must be defined as affected parts. This is necessary since the inspections and/or terminating actions for the modification are performed on affected parts.

If IFS/Complex Assembly MRO is used, the description of the work that is to be performed on each affected part is defined using repair codes. Therefore, if the part affected by the modification is the same as the part to which the modification is assigned, this part must be defined as an affected part in order to enable the connection to repair codes. Repair codes per part are defined in IFS Manufacturing. These repair codes can be connected in the Modification Details/Assign Repair Codes tab whilst planning the modification and/or in the Modification Repair Codes page once the modification is transferred to manufacturing.

The affected part should exist in the structure of the part assigned to the modification. Following data combinations can be used to specify the affected parts for a modification:

  1. Affected Part Number - All occurrences of the part number in the structure will be considered an affected part regardless of the part revision or structure position.
  2. Affected Part Number and Affected Part Revision - The part revision determines if it is an affected part or not. For example, part A with revisions R01 and R02 exist. Part A and revision R01 is entered as the affected part revision. Therefore only revision R01 of part A is considered an affected part.
  3. Template Part Number, Template Part Revision and Affected Structure Position - The part number and revision that is installed in this position is considered an affected part.
  4. Affected Part Number, Template Part Number, Template Part Revision and Affected Structure Position: The part is considered an affected part regardless of the part revision, as long as the given part number is installed in the affected structure position.
  5. Affected Part Number, Affected Part Revision, Template Part Number, Template Part Revision and Affected Structure Position: The part is considered an affected part only as long as the given part number and revision is installed in the affected structure position.

If the modification leads to a part identity change on the affected serial part, the new part number can be entered on this tab. You can also update the manufacturer information registered on the serial. This is useful when, for instance, the manufacturer of the new part number is different to the manufacturer of the affected part. Furthermore, when the part identity is changed on a serial, the manufacturer's part number registered on the serial is often changed as well. This new manufacturer part number can be entered on this tab. If required, you can also enter new values for the maintenance program and maintenance group valid for the serial’s part number after the rename.

If the value in the Sign Off field is set to Affected serial marked as complied with, the affected serial for the affected parts is marked as complied with when the modification is performed. This feature is useful when you want to identify the subcomponents that have been modified.
