The Engineering Control button allows users to link one or multiple GSE E/Cs to a GSE Work Order.

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

W/O

The Work Order used to categorize, manage, and schedule work requirements for aircraft maintenance. This field is auto-populated and cannot be edited.

Status

The status of the E/C.

• Open
• Closed

Daily checkbox

When the Daily checkbox is selected, actual hour/cycles (time) are reset and a compliance record is written for this E/C upon the completion of the Task Cards on an 'Open' Work Order rather than at the closing of the W/O. This feature is useful for the scheduling of recurrent daily E/Cs. When selected the Auto Reschedule checkbox appears. Note that a Daily E/C should only have one Task Card linked to it. And once that one T/C is closed on the Work Order, the Daily E/C's compliance is recorded.

Transaction

The type of maintenance Schedule Control that is added to the Work Order (GSE EC, P/N Control, P/N E/C).

When the P/N Control transaction type is selected, the following three fields appear:

When the P/N E/C transaction type is selected, the following field appears:

Note: For the P/N E/C to be called via a P/N Control onto a work package, the P/N S/N must have effectivity at the P/N E/C level. For additional information, refer to the P/N Control Button, via the P/N Master of the Settings Training Manual.

Function drop down

This field defines how the Control's times will be treated once its requirements are met. The Function drop down has three selections, including Reset, Do Not Reset, and Has Been Reset.

Reset - Reset the time controls to zero.

Do Not Reset - Do not reset the time controls to zero.

Has Been Reset - The time control has already been reset to zero.

Note: The only change that could be made at this stage is to change the Function from 'Reset' to 'Do Not Reset.'

Note: From the T/C Work button window, when a Task Card Status that is 'Cancel' or 'Defer' is changed to 'Open' or 'Closed,' the attached Engineering Control will be set to 'Reset.' For more information refer to the Task Card Work Button window.

Note: When a W/O Task Card with an associated Engineering Control is reset, its W/O Task Card Status cannot be changed. For detailed information refer to the Task Card Work Button, via Work Order Buttons in the Production Training Manual.

Override Reset Date checkbox

Select this checkbox to indicate that the E/Cs Reset Date has been overridden.

Reset Date/Time

Enter the Reset Date and Time the E/C was overridden.

E/C

The Engineering Control that specifies aircraft or component scheduled maintenance intervals.

Additional Work

This informational checkbox is selected when the invoiced Task Card (Routine or Non-Routine) was designated as additional work. For this to appear, the Task Card must have the Additional Work checkbox selected.

P/N

The Part Number reference for the GSE part.

S/N

The Serial Number for the specific serialized part.

Category

The category of this E/C.

Classification

The class of the E/C (i.e. Mandatory, Optional, etc.). The Classification flag is available for selection in the GSE Planning Query when either the GSE E/C or P/N E/C planning elements are selected. The Mandatory Property checkbox is available in order to assign the same hard-coded functionality of the Mandatory classification to other classifications. When selected, this checkbox makes any E/C Classification mandatory. E/Cs with Classifications that have the Mandatory Property checkbox selected will trigger Mandatory flags when they are queried in Planning. Alerts will also appear when completing different transactions. E/C Classifications have a much different functionality for GSE Engineering Controls versus Part Number Engineering Controls. For P/N E/Cs it actually forces compliance at the next Vendor or Shop Repair Order process. If an AD or critical modification on the component needs to be done, it has an interval or schedule. The classification "Mandatory" should NOT be used because you have time to do it. Mandatory should only be used for P/N E/Cs that require compliance at the next Repair visit with no schedules; however, customers can create separate E/C Classification codes for GSE E/Cs versus P/N E/Cs.

Expenditure

Select the Expenditure Code to be associated with this E/C. The Expenditure Code related to this E/C and all associated Task Cards carried over to the W/O. All material issues, labor actuals and expenses performed against this Task Card impacts this Expenditure Code financially. If the Expenditure Code is not captured in the Task Card, the system will search for the Expenditure Code associated to the E/C which brought the Task Card onto the work package and will impact the Expenditure Codes accordingly. If the E/C does not have a defined Expenditure Code, the system will use the W/O Expenditure Code to capture and record all financial impacts. Financial transactions are recorded and available for view via the Journal Entry Query. Expenditure Codes may be created via G/L Interface/Update/Journal Entries Expenditure in the Creating a New Expenditure Code. For more information, please refer to the Creating a New Expenditure Code section of the G/L Interface manual.

Parent E/C

The Parent E/C associated with the E/C.

Note: Not all E/Cs have Parent E/Cs.

Task Priority

The Priority level of the E/C.

Hierarchical View button

Select the Hierarchical View button to view all GSE E/Cs and P/Ns related to the Work Order. P/N E/Cs are indicated by a green icon while GSE E/Cs contain a blue icon.
