P/N Times Adjustment

This feature allows the user to adjust the actuals of a rotable part number. The actuals of rotable parts are calculated automatically based on install date/time and aircraft actual flights as entered via Technical Records/ Update/ A/C Actual Flights. Manually adjusting the actuals will impact the scheduled maintenance therefore this feature should be used with caution.

Note: When an NHA P/N time adjustment is made, the system will not cascade the time adjustment to the NLA components if an E/C at the P/N S/N level has a Status of N/A, Canceled, or Terminated.
