The following information/options are available in this window:
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Copy radio button

Select this radio button to copy the 'From E/C' to a new E/C in the system. When Copy is chosen, if E/C authorization is “On” (via System Administration/Explorer/System Transaction Configuration), the Authorization Status of the copy will be set to 'Pending'. The user will be required to enter new revision information in the New Revision field.

Note: The complete E/C structure will be copied, including part number effectivity, warranty, etc.). When copying an E/C, child E/Cs will not be copied as the copy is a creation of a new E/C which would have different requirements from the original, therefore child E/Cs will not be copied.

Rename radio button

If selected, the record will be renamed, not copied. This option deletes the 'From' record and replaces it with the new 'To' record.

From E/C

The original E/C being renamed or copied from.

Note: If the From E/C has a pending revision, the revision number and current status will carry over to the renamed E/C.

To E/C

The E/C being copied or renamed to.

Note: This is useful when most information on the 'From E/C' is needed on the 'To E/C'. Once you have created the copy, adjustments can be made on the 'To E/C' to make the E/C accurate.

Company

The name of the airline company for which the E/C will be utilized. The Company used to auto generate the E/C reference. When this field is populated, only those aircraft with the same G/L Company via the A/C Master, Other 1 tab can be made effective to the E/C. When the 'ALL' option is selected the Company field will not auto generate the E/C reference. The E/C reference will auto generate from the Sub E/C field.

Note: For more information, refer to the Multi Company Functionality.

Control

The Control (A/C, P/N, A/C Type, or ALL) used to auto generate the E/C reference. This field is used for naming purposes only. When the 'ALL' option is selected the E/C Control field will not auto generate the E/C reference. The E/C reference will auto generate from the Sub E/C field.
