Conclude Work Order from Fleet and Asset Management
Explanation
This activity is used to conclude a work order with the connection type VIM. Once the necessary
information is entered and the work is completed, the work order can be set to the Finished status.
A part identity change on serials in IFS/Fleet and Asset Management can be achieved when the modification
causing the identity change is embodied through IFS/Work Order Management. If a modification event (with execution
type Terminating Action) resulting in a part identity change is distributed as a normal work order, the
serials assigned to and/or affected by the modification will be renamed automatically with the new part number and
revision once the work order is finished. The system will perform a check to validate the following information
before renaming the serial and setting the modification work order to the Finished status:
- the new part number is a valid alternate of the old part number (i.e., if the serial being renamed is
installed in a structure)
- the maintenance program and maintenance group for the old part number is valid for the new part number (i.e.,
if a new maintenance program and revision is not entered for the serial being renamed)
- the manufacturer and manufacturer part number of the old part number is valid for the new part number (i.e.,
when a new manufacturer and manufacturer part number is not entered for the serial being renamed)
- the template of the old part number is valid for the new part number (i.e., if the serial being renamed has a
structure)
- all running events for the serial which are mandatory to cancel have been cancelled or finished with.
- the serial being renamed is not included in a work scope that is in any status between Started or
Closed (i.e., if the serial is used in a Complex Assembly MRO flow).
This activity can be used to conclude a modification event in IFS/Work Order Management, where the modification
being concluded introduces one or more new structure positions into a template structure or removes an existing
structure position from the template structure. When a new structure position is added to a template structure as a
result of a modification, an empty structure position will be added automatically to the serial structure for which
the modification is embodied. If an existing structure position has become invalid as a result of the modification,
this structure position will be removed from the template when the modification is embodied. When this is done, the
empty structure position that corresponds with the removed position will be removed automatically from the serial
structure for which the modification is embodied. Empty structure positions are used to indicate where expected
serials or parts are missing from a serial structure.
When concluding a modification work order, you can specify the historical records that are to be updated with
the new part number and revision of the serial being renamed. You can choose to update the operational log history,
replacement history, as well as other history records by enabling the relevant option. You can also modify the
maintenance program, maintenance group and manufacturer information for the serial as described in this
activity.
You can set the work order Status to Finished from the Execute
Work Order page.
Note: If the work order is created for a modification event leading to a part identity change on a
serial, the following information can be changed in the Maintenance Event Completion
Information/Modification tab prior to completion of the event or when concluding the work order.
- If the maintenance program is to be changed on the serial being renamed, enter the new maintenance program,
the new revision of the maintenance program in the relevant fields. If the maintenance group is to be changed on
the serial being renamed, enter the new maintenance group in the Maintenance Group field as well.
Note: When the maintenance group is changed, the operational parameters are changed according to the new
maintenance group.
- By default, the Disconnect Serial from Maintenance Program option is enabled when no valid maintenance
program exists for the new part number and revision. If you want to change the manufacturer of the serial, enter
the new manufacturer's number and the new manufacturer part number in the relevant fields.
- You can enable the Update Operational Log History option if you want to update operational log history
records for the serial with the new part number and revision. If you want to update replacement history records
for the serial with the new part number and revision, enable the Update Replacement History option. Enable
the Update Other History option, if you want to update other history records for the serial with the new
part number and revision.
Prerequisites
- All work order information must have been reported in.
- All work tasks must be in either Finished or Cancelled status.
- The Actual Finish Date must be specified.
The following prerequisites are required when the work order created for a modification event with execution
type Terminating Action and distribution type Work Order is concluded:
- If the event being finished is a modification event of execution type Terminating Action and leads to
a part identity change, the new part number and revision must have been entered for the serial. These values can
be entered in the Define Modification/Assign Part Revisions tab or the
Modification Details/Affected Parts tab.
- If the modification work is supposed to result in an automatic part identity change for a serial installed in
the structure, the new part number must have been defined as a valid alternative for the old part number.
- If the event being finished is a modification event of execution type Terminating Action and leads to
a part identity change, a valid manufacturer and manufacturer part number must exist for the new part number of
the serial.
- If the event being finished is a modification event of execution type Terminating Action and leads to
a part identity change, a valid maintenance program and maintenance group must exist for the new part number of
the serial.
- If the event being finished is a modification event of execution type Terminating Action and leads to
a part identity change, the serial cannot exist on a shop order with a status between Started and
Closed when using a Complex Assembly MRO flow.
System Effects
- The status of the work order is set to the Finished status.
- The work order becomes a historical record and can be used for informational purposes.
- An Event Log is created for this event. Event Logs are generated in the Events tab
found in the Attachment panel of the Prepare Work Order and
Conclude Work Order pages.
- If the Execution Logic Structure distribution type was used, the Work Order
Finished field will be enabled on the Execution logic Order (ELO) corresponding to the concluded work
order. If the Work Order distribution type was used, the Work order Finished
field will be enabled for the corresponding event on the maintenance order.
The following system effects will occur when the work order created for a modification event of execution type
Terminating Action, and leading to a part identity change is concluded:
- When the work order created for the modification event leading to a part identity change is finished, the
part number of the serial will be changed all through IFS/Fleet and Asset Management.
- Information on the modification that has been complied with is retained in the serial identification history
in IFS/Fleet and Asset Management. This modification can be used as a reference for the reason a part identity
change was performed on the serial.
- If a modification leading to a part identity change is embodied, the part number of the serial will also be
changed in Part Serial Catalog and history will be generated.
- If the serial is in Inventory (i.e., the current position set to In Inventory) when being renamed
through the embodiment of a modification, the correct quantity on hand will be created for the renamed
individual.
- If the part number and/or serial number of the serial is changed through the embodiment of a modification, on
a serial that exists in the Work Task/Returns tab or the Execute Work
Task/Returns tab, the part number and/or serial number of this serial will be updated as well.
- If the serial's configuration becomes invalid as a result of the rename, the operational status of the
renamed serial is automatically set to Out Of Operation.
- If the structure template information for the old template structure is not valid for the new template
structure, the operational condition of the renamed serial is set to Non Operational.
