Manual creation of component work packages and replacement tasks

Users can create replacement requirements manually; for example, a maintenance planner who needs to rob a component from one aircraft to install it on another, or to replace a component identified as a Shop Replaceable Unit (SRU) directly from the aircraft without removing the SRU's parent component.

When replacement tasks are created manually, Maintenix does not create component work packages automatically. If a component work package is required to repair the removed component, it must be created manually.

Replacement requirements are created in the same manner as any other on condition tasks. Replacement requirement definitions do not have scheduling rules; therefore, the replacement tasks created manually from the definitions cannot have hard deadlines. However, you can set a Plan By Date. This date is displayed as the due date for the replacement task in the Open Tasks list for the parent aircraft. It is identified as a Plan By Date, and it does not become overdue.
