Enter Complied/Decomplied Modifications

Explanation

This activity is used to enter compliance values for a modification (including obsolete modifications), that has been complied or decomplied for the serial structure, but has not yet been registered in the system. You can enter information for the components that have not yet been registered in the system and for the components that have existing or incomplete historical entries.

The modification for an assigned serial part will be dependent on the serials defined for the selected serial structure and the configured modification information. If the selected serial part is not operational in the system, click Set Structure Out Of Operation in the Serial Initialization page. When this is done, the Modification Assigned Serials tab will be updated with values from the Modification Details/Assign Serials tab (this tab holds values for the serial parts for which the modifications apply, and serial parts that correspond to the serial range defined on a modification). The values together with the modification history are used to determine the modifications that are to be displayed in the Modification Assigned Serials tab so that it incorporates planned modifications and complied modifications. The Modifications in Structure tab can be used to view modifications to which the selected structure entry and all serials below in the structure are assigned.

The modification for an affected serial part will be dependent on the serial part selected in the part navigator and the configured modification information. You can view the modifications and the relevant serial parts in the Modification Details/Assigned Serials tab and the Modification Details/Affected Parts tab. If a modification is assigned to, for example, two revisions, the information on the modification is displayed twice, once for each revision. It is possible to adjust recently recorded values thereby avoiding the erroneous display of multiple records in the log entries.

Using this activity you can enter compliance values for a modification leading to a part identity change on an assigned or affected serial. Following scenarios are handled when entering compliance values for a modification leading to the rename of an assigned/affected serial's part number and revision. The procedure for these scenarios are described further down in this activity.

Scenario	Description
The serial rename has not yet been performed in the system.	Simultaneously enter compliance values for the modification and rename the part number and revision of the assigned/affected serial.
The serial rename has been performed.	The modification has already been performed and the assigned/affected serial's part number and revision have been renamed in the system. In this instance, enter compliance values for the modification that led to the part identity change on the assigned/affected serial.
The serial rename has been performed externally.	The assigned/affected serial's part number and revision have been renamed outside the system. Since the old serial (i.e., the serial prior to the rename) does not exist in the system, when entering compliance values, you are required to enter relevant manufacturer information for the old serial. This information is used to create the old serial in the system (in part serial catalog).
The rename of the serial is to be reversed.	A decomply modification leading to a reversal of the part identity change on an assigned/affected serial exists. However, the part number and revision of the assigned/affected serial has not yet been reversed in the system. Use this activity to simultaneously enter compliance values for the decomplied modification and perform the reversal so that the assigned/affected serial has the original part number and revision.

The Enter Modification Compliance assistant should be used to enter modification compliance/decompliance. Following is a description of the different steps in the assistant:

Option - Select the option that reflects the change that is to be done.
Modification Compliance - View information on the serial for which compliance values are to be entered. The modification information appears by default. The assigned or affected serial information is displayed in relevant fields, based on where the assistant was opened. If the modification is responsible for a change to the part number and/or part revision of the serial, the new part number and/or revision appears automatically in either the Assigned or Affected area.
Enter Obsolete Modification Compliance - Contains similar information as shown in the Modification Compliance step. If the modification is not retrieved automatically, select the obsolete modification from the List of Values.
Rename Modification Compliance - You need to enter the modification revision that led to a change of the part number and/or revision of the serial. This is required in order to continue with the procedure for registering a serial rename in the system.
Rename Serial Information - Enter the information needed to perform a part identity change on the serial. Enter information on the manufacturer of the new serial (i.e., the renamed serial) as well as a valid maintenance program for the new serial. In addition, indicate if history records are to be updated with the new serial or retain the old serial. If the new part number is a life limited part and the old serial is a disconnected serial (i.e., the serial is not contained in a structure), you can define stress rating for the new serial in this step. The template information for the new part number of the serial is also displayed in this step of the assistant.

In this step you can also enter information on the manufacturer for the old part number of the serial. The old serial is needed when registering details on the performed serial rename. If the old serial does not exist in IFS/Part Serial Catalog, the system will recreate the old serial automatically. When recreating the old serial, the manufacturer information for the old part number is required. Note: If the serial is already renamed using the Rename Serial assistant, the system will not recreate the old serial and therefore manufacturer information for the old part number of the serial is not needed. Furthermore, when the serial is renamed using the Rename Serial assistant it will be possible to define if history records for the serial are to retain the old part number and/or revision or be updated with the new part number and/or revision. When the old serial is retained in the system, it is recommended that you register the modification that led to the change of the part number and/or revision on the serial. If needed, you can choose to register the modification without complying the modification.
Execution Information - Enter information on the preventive checks for the selected modification. Values for the current and new execution type of the modification appear in the Change Execution Type area. The current execution type is used for the selected serial part and modification, and appears automatically from the tab the assistant is opened. The current execution type can only be changed to a higher execution type than the present value.

The new execution type will be used when you want to raise future preventive checks to a higher level or embody the modification. This execution type will be used subsequently when the modification is applied to a selected serial part. Select a value for the new execution type that will be validated as a higher value than the current execution type. The new execution type must have a higher value than the current execution type.

To terminate inspections of a modification, enable the Terminate Inspections option. Terminating inspections implies that no further initial or continued inspections will be carried out for the particular serial, and the modification will not be complied with.

When finishing the last of the current inspection type without specifying the New Execution Type and with the Terminate Inspections option disabled, the system will shift to the next execution type.
A description of the modification execution should be entered in the Modification Execution Remark field. The recorded date is the date that the selected modification was complied (or not complied) with, this value defaults to the recorded date entered in the Serial Initialization page.
Operational Parameter Values - Register operational parameter values at the time the modification is completed. Click Get Defaults to view the default values for the existing operational parameters.
The operational parameter for which measurements are completed, the accumulated value after the last overhaul and the accumulated total value for the serial part is displayed in the table. The Triggered Execution option should be enabled for the operational parameter which triggered this particular action. The triggering operational parameter and its values are stored in the modification history. When you select the triggering operational parameter a warning message will appear if;
- the modification is not purely calendar based and the selected triggering operational parameter is not defined for the modification.
- the modification is purely calendar based and the triggering operational parameter is different to the primary operational parameter.
- executions (inspections) are not defined for the modification.

Prerequisites

A serial must have been created.
Modifications must have been created and activated for the selected serial part.

System Effects

The modification will be registered as Complied With or Not Complied With (depending on the new execution type that has been selected) in the modification history for the selected serial. If operational parameters are given, the values will be connected to the modification history.
Records are updated as if the modification has been signed off through a work order, without a work order being generated. However, an entry in the order history is added to store the operational values according to the ordinary data entry.
The rename of the serial's part number and revision that is defined on the modification will be performed on the serial if it has not already been renamed.
The entered operational parameter values are validated against the time of execution and the values entered on any previous or later log entries.
A record is created in the modification history for the serial part.
The modification will be referenced as the reason for renaming the part number and revision of the serial, and a record is created in the Serial Identification History page.
Information on the rename of the serial is retained in the following pages: Part Serial Rename History, Part Serial History and in Part Serial/General (i.e., in the Renaming area).
If the assigned part is the same as the affected part for a complied/decomplied modification, and the serial rename is defined for the assigned part, the affected part is signed off automatically.
