The Part Number reference for the aircraft part. This is the Part Number required for the T/C. A part number may be specified only one time per Item Number. However, the same part number may be specified on each unique item number if needed. Users can select into this field or select the Add/Delete Record button to add a P/N.

Description

The description of the part.

Item

The specific item number on the Task Card that this record is to be associated with. Leave default '0' to have this record associated with all item numbers on the Task Card.

Note: The Item field will only validate items that exist in the Task Card. If the user inserts an item number that does not exist an error message will prevent the user from saving.

Category

The category of the part as defined in Settings/ Explorer/ System Transaction Code Explorer/ Settings/ P/N Category (e.g. Rotable, Consumable, Repairable) and entered for the particular part in the P/N Master.

QTY

The quantity of items/parts required.

Spare/Tool drop down

If the item required is a spare, this can be either an Expendable or a Rotable part. If the item required is a tool, the P/N must be configured as a Tool in P/N Master via Settings/ Update/ P/N Master.

Reserve radio button

Select this option to reserve the spare or tool when W/O P/N reservation is applied. When a Picklist Reservation is made via a Work Order, only parts that have the Reserve radio button checked will be reserved. For more information regarding picklist creation, please go to Production/ Update/ Work Order/ Picklist button.

Note: When the Task Card is attached to a W/O, only parts that belong to the Company entered in the W/O header will be reserved.

Note: If a P/N required will be supplied by both the company and the customer, multiple rows need to be set up; one row will have the Reserve radio button selected (telling the system to reserve parts that belong to the Company entered in the W/O header), and the other row will have the Customer Provided radio button selected (telling the system to reserve parts with a Loan Category 'Manage' and identified with the Owner code of the customer that is linked to the third party W/O).

Note: When Production Switch EXINMASYS is set to Yes, picklist reservations will not be created for parts set to the Reserve status regardless of available quantities in Inventory.

Repair Return radio button

Select this option to repair/return the spare when W/O P/N reservation is applied. This option is used if the currently installed part will be removed and repaired (via Shop or Repair Order) then reinstalled on the same aircraft to satisfy the Task Card's requirement. This is informational. When a Picklist Repair/Return is made via a Work Order, only parts that have the Repair/Return radio button checked will be repaired or returned.

None radio button

Select this option if no spare or tool will be reserved (picklisted) or repaired.

Customer Provided radio button

This option indicates that the customer will provide the required part. When selected, a picklist will only be created for parts in inventory that are owned by the same customer of the third party W/O. If the part is not available in inventory for that Owner, then a picklist will not be created nor will a Requisition be created - there will be no further action in the system as it will be up to the customer to provide the part.

Note: When the Task Card is attached to a W/O, only parts with a Loan Category 'Manage' and identified with the Owner code of the customer that is linked to the third party W/O will be reserved.

Note: If a P/N required will be supplied by both the company and the customer, multiple rows need to be set up; one row will have the Reserve radio button selected (telling the system to reserve parts that belong to the Company entered in the W/O header), and the other row will have the Customer Provided radio button selected (telling the system to reserve parts with a Loan Category 'Manage' and identified with the Owner code of the customer that is linked to the third party W/O).
