Retransfer Template Structure to Site
Explanation
This activity is used to manually retransfer a top part revision to a destination site. New manufacturing part
revision records will be created so that the phase in dates of components are compatible with the phase in dates of
parent records. You may use a feature to copy the old structure (with Copy First option) to the new phase in date.
Normal copy routines are used to include work guidelines, maintenance levels, and other related structure
records.
Use the Transfer To Site tab to view all sites you are allowed to access which have
the MRO Enabled option enabled. You can start transferring by selecting the site and using
Transfer to Manufacturing Action Command Button.
Note: If the AUTO_TRANSFER_STR object property value is set to TRUE, new template structure
positions will be transferred automatically to the valid manufacturing sites. The automatic transfer will not
create new structure revisions for the entire structure, instead the latest revision of the parent will be updated
with a new component line to reflect the new position. Automatic transfer is initiated when the new structure
position is activated. For more information, refer the section on automatic part transfer in the online help file
Prepare template
structure for transfer to manufacturing.
Prerequisites
This activity requires that:
- The top part has already been transferred to the site. A candidate for retransfer is one that has a Transfer
Prepared Date that is prior or equal to the Date Last Transferred on the selected site.
- The serial structure template has been created and transferred to the temporary transfer table, and the
structure must be in Active status.
- The user has access to the transfer site that has the MRO Enabled option enabled. A Default Planner
and Manufacturing Engineer must also be defined for the site in IFS/Manufacturing Standard.
- A Part Transfer Template of type VIM Template is defined in IFS/Manufacturing Standard.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The system confirms the transfer of a top template part revision ( and all of its level structures) to a
site.
- If needed, inventory parts, part revisions, and structures are created.
- A Template Transfer History record is created, with a transfer status that indicates whether the transfer
succeeded or failed.
- A Template Transfer log is created which contains any errors, warnings, or informational messages that were
created during the transfer.
- An inventory part record is created from the installed real part. If alternates are defined for the part in
the VIM serial structure template, inventory parts are also created for alternates.
- If there are valid modifications in IFS/Fleet and Asset Management that have not already been transferred to
the site, then an MRO Modification header record is created for each of the modifications in the structure, and
an MRO Part Modification record is also created for each affected part in these modifications. If it is an active
modification, and repair codes have been assigned to affected parts on the modification, these repair codes will
be transferred along with the affected part information.
