Create Task

Explanation

You can create maintenance tasks using the Create New Task assistant.

You can open the Create New Task assistant from the following pages:

• Aircraft Turn Details (line maintenance) — when the turn status is Inbound, Arrived, or In Maintenance
• Line Maintenance Work Package Execution — when the work package status is Active, Committed, or In Work
• Hangar Maintenance Work Package Execution — when the work package status is Active, Committed, or In Work
• Hangar Maintenance Tasks — when you need to create work without opening a work package first

When you select Create New Task, choose how to create the work:

• Create Task Based on Task Definition
• Create Ad-hoc Task

For both options, specify the Aircraft, which is pre-filled where possible. You can assign the new task to an existing work package using Assigned to Work Package, or, in line maintenance, turn on Create Work Package to create a new package as part of the same action. Assigned to Work Package and Assigned to Work Package Name are used when Create Work Package is off. See Create New Work Package.

Create task based on task definition

When you select Create Task Based on Task Definition, you can create tasks only from on-condition task definitions. The assistant shows current approved on-condition definitions that are active for the selected aircraft. FOLLOW requirements that are linked to an active REPREF definition are not listed. Requirement definitions assigned to a maintenance program are not listed.

Complete these steps:

1. Select a Configuration slot on the aircraft (position or system).
2. (Optional) Include on-condition definitions on sub-configuration slots.
3. Select an on-condition task definition from the list.
4. Review the read-only preview of job cards (JICs) when the definition is not directly executable.

Select Save or Save & Open:

• If the definition is executable, Save & Open opens the new task on the Task Details page.
• If the definition is not directly executable and generates job cards, Save & Open opens the related JIC tasks on the Task Details page.

On the Task Details page, the following fields help you confirm which definition the task came from:

• Requirement Task Definition — shown on an on-condition parent task (code, name, and revision)
• Job Card Task Definition — shown on a job card (JIC) under a non-executable requirement

Create ad-hoc task

When you select Create Ad-hoc Task, define the work without a task definition:

• Task name (required)
• Configuration slot (required)
• Description (optional)
• Work types — select one or more from the standard list
• Labor skill (required)
• Scheduled hours in HH:MM format (required)
• Certification required — when selected, you can also set Inspection required
• ETOPS significant — select when the task is ETOPS-related

Select Save or Save & Open to create the task and assign it to the work package.

Tasks you create using this activity can be cancelled when they are in Active or Committed status. For more information, see Cancel Task.

Note: In release 26R2, you cannot create tasks from CORR class task definitions using this assistant.

Note: To create on-condition tasks from Maintenance Execution, the user's organization must be set for the user on the CAMO side.

Prerequisites

• The aircraft must not be locked.
• From Aircraft Turn Details, the turn status must be Inbound, Arrived, or In Maintenance.
• From Line Maintenance Work Package Execution or Hangar Maintenance Work Package Execution, the work package status must be Active, Committed, or In Work.
• For Create Task Based on Task Definition, at least one eligible on-condition task definition must be available in CAMO for the aircraft and configuration slot you select. The definition must be permitted for the user's organization. FOLLOW requirements linked to an active REPREF definition and requirement definitions assigned to a maintenance program are not listed. Job card definitions with classes OPENPANEL and CLOSEPANEL are excluded from the Create New Task assistant.
• To Create Ad-hoc Tasks, work types and labor skills must be available in your configuration.

System Effects

• The new task is assigned to the work package you selected, or to a new work package if you chose Create Work Package.
• For definition-based tasks, the Task Details page shows a link to the Requirement Task Definition used. Tasks generated from a non-executable task definition include a link to that task definition on the Task Details page.
• For ad-hoc tasks, work types you selected are visible on the task.
• If the task cannot be assigned to the work package or cannot appear in Maintenance Execution, you receive an error message.
