Set Serial Structure Out Of Operation
Explanation
This activity is used to set the operational status for the selected serial and all serials below it in the
structure to Out Of Operation. You can use this activity during the following instances:
- when you build a serial structure and want to set its operational status from Planned For Operation to
Out Of Operation for the first time
- if there are some serials in the serial structure that have the Out Of Operation status whilst the
other serials do not
When the structure is In Operation the operational condition of all serials in the structure will be
Operational. Once the operational status of the structure is changed from In Operation to Out Of
Operation, you can change the operational condition of all serials in the structure to Non
Operational.
When building a new serial structure, the operational status is initially set to Planned For Operation
and the operational condition to Non Operational. If the serials are not new (but new within the system),
the serial's history data must be entered in the Serial Initialization page. To do this, the
serials must be in the Out Of Operation status. When the serials are set to Out Of Operation, default
values are created for the operational log and interval maintenance. The serials are assigned to modifications if
the serials are within a defined serial range or if the serials have a part number which is assigned to the
modification.
If the operational status is changed from Planned For Operation to Out Of Operation while the
Set Structure Operational option is enabled, the structure is verified and validations are performed (these
are the same validations that are performed when a structure is set to In Operation). Once the operational
condition of the serials is set to Operational, the structure is complete. You are highly recommended to
verify the new total operational values and other information entered in the Serial Initialization
page.
You can perform this activity using the Manage Serial Structure page or the
Serial Initialization page.
- If the status of the serial is In Operation, then click Serial Structure and select
the option Set Structure Out of Operation.
- If you want to change the operational status of a serial and its structure from Planned for Operation
to Out of Operation, then click Serial Structure and select the option Set Structure
Out of Operation to open the Set Serial Out of Operation dialog. In the Set Serial Out
of Operation dialog, enter a structure change date used to create an entry in the replacement history if
the serial is installed in a structure. This creates an entry in the replacement history for all the serials in
the structure and the serial you have selected.
- To set the operational status of a serial to Out of Operation, click Serial and
select the option Out of Operation to open the Set Serial to be Out of Operation dialog. Enable the
Set the serial to be Non Operational option from the dialog, if you want to change the operational
condition of the serial to Non Operational at the same time that you are setting the serial out of
operation.
Prerequisites
- The Set Structure Out Of Operation option is enabled only if the operational status of the serial is
set to a value other than Out Of Operation.
System Effects
- The operational status for the selected serial and all the serials in its structure is set to Out Of
Operation status.
- If the current operational status of the serial is Planned For Operation when you change it to Out
of Operation, you are prompted to enter a structure change date that is used to create an entry in the
replacement history if the serial is installed in a structure. This creates an entry in the replacement history
for all of the serials in the structure in addition to the serial you have selected.
- If the operational status is changed from Planned For Operation to Out Of Operation and Set
Structure Operational is selected, all serials receive the operational condition Operational if the
structure is validated and found to be acceptable.
- All due calculations for the serial will be run to calculate due dates and values.
