Record a work package that occurred in the past

You can record a work package after the maintenance visits are completed by either letting Maintenix auto-calculate the accrued usage at start time or by manually entering the usage.

1. Create a work package.
2. Find the tasks that were completed in the past and assign them to the work package.
3. Schedule the work package.
4. On the Work Package Details page, click one of the following:
   • Start Work Package - opens a dialog box where you can specify only the Actual Start date of the work package, and Maintenix automatically retrieves the usage accrued for the affected inventory at the specified date. Note that the default value for the Actual Start Date is the scheduled start date of the work package.
   • Start Work Package and Enter Usage - opens a page where you can specify both the Actual Start date of the work package and the accrued usage for each component.

   If you click Start Work Package , go to step 7.
5. Optional: If you opened the Start Work Package and Enter Usage page, in the Usage at Completion area, enter the correct values for each component as they appear in the records from that start date. Note that if you are entering aircraft usage, the usage for sub-assemblies will automatically calculate based on the assembly calculation.
6. Optional: To override the auto-calculated values, click the Auto Calculate field on either the CYCLES or HOURS.
7. Click OK.
8. If necessary, edit the details of the individual tasks included in the work package.
   Tip: When using Start Work Package, usage adjustments applied to components take place based on the completion date of the task containing the part requirement. Therefore, take due care when entering these dates.
9. Complete the work package.
   • If you chose the option of Maintenix auto-calculating the usage, but need to correct it in the future, you can do so by editing the Usage at Completion snapshot on the Task History Details page or Usage snapshot on the Work Package Details pages.
