The MPT provides maintenance program data from Boeing's Toolbox for planning and execution. It also creates T/Cs and E/Cs and automatically links them. The manufacturer for this manual is Boeing.

From the TraxDoc Document Detail, General tab, select the Generate/Update Data button.

When uploading a document into TraxDoc, the file that is being uploaded must be in a location where the eMRO server will recognize it. See below instructions:

- The IT department on the user side must select a directory to work as a repository for all the OEM manuals that would be uploaded to eMRO via the TraxDoc module.
- This directory must be accessible from the application server (Wildfly).
- Create a way for users to provide the OEM manual revisions to be placed in the repository.
- The path for the repository directory will be defined by the traxdoc_manual variable on the data.source.properties file. This can be found under the application server (/%WILDFLYHOME%/deployments/emro.war/WEB-INF/classes/resources/).

SaaS customers should refer to the instructions outlined in this document in iCentral: SaaS - How to Upload TraxDoc Manuals.

The system displays the Task Card Create from MPT window:

Note: When a PDF document is attached to a Task Card, during the Import From MPT, the PDF will remain associated to the Task Card via the Document Control.

Note: E/Cs generated via this import will have their Calendar Control field default to NO unless the generated E/C(s) has an associated Tool/Part Number and is within the applicability tag. However, all E/Cs can have their Calendar Control field manually updated after generation.

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

TraxDoc No.

The TraxDoc Document ID number, which is automatically generated by the system.

Wipe Existing Data checkbox

The status of this checkbox will determine the outcome of a Task Card that is imported through the MPT.

Wipe Existing Data checkbox selected:

Task Card Status (Active): Task Card will be imported already authorized.

Task Card Status (Pending): Task Card must go through the authorization process.

Task Card status (Draft): No Task Card(s) will be imported.

Wipe Existing Data checkbox deselected:

Task Card Status (Active): Task Card must go through the authorization process.

Task Card Status (Pending): Task Card will be imported already authorized.

Task Card Status (Draft): No Task Card(s) will be imported.

Note: For the MPT import, the status of the Task Card comes from the Boeing XML. This has nothing to do with the status of the Task Card in eMRO.

This checkbox is security controlled via TraxDoc/ Update/ TraxDoc Master/ Wipe Data on Update

For additional information, refer to Wipe Existing Data Checkbox, via Task Card Create from MPT.

If unchecked, effectivity will only be created for those type/series that have a least one effective Aircraft specified in the manual.
