Create Part Return Line

Explanation

Technicians can create return lines for non-repairable parts using Create Return Line on the Part Removals tab.

Parts are usually returned when they are no longer fit for use (wear, damage, or end of life), when they are held in quarantine for possible defects or quality checks, or when they are removed while still serviceable so they can go back to stock for later use.

For repairable parts, return lines are created automatically when material is requested for the task. They are also created when you publish the work package with part removals, or when you add a removal in the Add/Remove Part assistant. Return lines are not created if the removal reason is Access, ROB, or Swap.

Prerequisites

• The task must be in In Work status.
• The fault must be in Open or Deferred status.
• The part must be returnable.
• The part’s removal reason must not be Access, ROB, or Swap.

Procedure

You must be online to perform this procedure.

1. Open the Task Details or Fault Details page.
2. Go the Part Removals tab.
3. Select the part removal record.
4. Select Create Return Line.

System Effects

• Depending on how auto-return is set up, the system may put the part back into inventory for you.
• You can see the part return line on the Returns tab of Task Details and Fault Details and on Hangar Maintenance Work Package or the Aircraft Turn Details and Component Returns.
