The EIPC Doctype creates P/Ns and vendor codes while also setting effectivity and P/N interchangeability as it relates to engines. The information provided is tied to the applicable OEM.

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.

From the TraxDoc Document window, select the Generate/Update Data button.

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

TraxDoc No.

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

Default PN Category

This P/N Category field in this window is referring to only Expendable and Consumable part numbers. This determines how the system will handle this part. If the Category entered is Expendable or Consumable, the system will be expecting either an Expendable or Consumable number for every item in the system for this part number.

Default Vendor Currency

This is the default vendor currency.

Note: The user must enter default values to place in these field in case the IPC does not contain data for them.

Manual

The manual to be applicable to associated E/Cs / T/Cs.

Default Rot. Category

This P/N Category field in this window is referring to only Serialized part numbers. This determines how the system will handle this part. If the Category entered is Serialized, the system will be expecting a Serialized number for every item in the system for this part number.

Note: The user must enter default values to place in these fields in case the IPC does not contain data for them. Parts for these categories are identified by the ITEM tag. The system assumes that a part is Serialized if the IPC lists positions for the part.

Default Vendor Category

This is the default vendor category.

Note: The user must enter default values to place in these field in case the IPC does not contain data for them.

Default Rep. Category

This P/N Category field in this window is referring to only Repairable part numbers. This determines how the system will handle this part. If the Category entered is Repairable, the system will be expecting a Repairable number for every item in the system for this part number.

Note: The user must enter default values to place in these field in case the IPC does not contain data for them.

A/C Type/Series

The Aircraft Type and Series/Fleet assignment.

Default PN Stock UOM

The ATA code for Unit Of Measurement (or internal code if preferred). The Order UOM differentiates by Stock UOM a unit of conversion may be defined in the UOM code which will automatically convert the Order UOM to the Stock UOM at receiving.

Default PN Manufacturer

The Manufacturer or main Vendor for this part. The Vendor must be flagged in the Vendor Master as a Manufacturer to populate this field.

Note: The user must enter default values to place in these field in case the IPC does not contain data for them.

PN Status radio buttons

Controls the Status of the P/N.

Active - Select this radio button to make the part number(s) active.

Inactive - Select this radio button to make the part number(s) inactive.

Vendor Status radio buttons

Active - Select this radio button to indicate that the Vendor associated with supplying the part being imported is an Active Vendor.

Inactive - Select this radio button to indicate that the Vendor associated with supplying the part being imported is an Inactive Vendor.

Q/A Inactive - Select this radio button to indicate that the Vendor associated with supplying the part being imported is in Q/A Inactive Status.

Hold - Select this radio button to indicate that the Vendor associated with supplying the part being imported is on Hold Status.

Default PN Description

The description of the part number.

ETOPS Flag checkbox

Select this checkbox to indicate that the part is relevant to ETOPS operations. When the ETOPS checkbox is selected, the ETOPS field appears. Specify the ETOPS rating for the aircraft in this field.

Load Only P/N Effectivity to A/C checkbox

Select this checkbox to load only parts that are effective to the aircraft.

Load Main P/Ns checkbox

Select this checkbox to load main P/Ns.

Initial Load checkbox

Select this checkbox to initial load P/Ns. When selected the import will update the P/Ns regardless of the CHG Tags which are in the SGMLs. There are New, Unchanged, Delete and Revision CHG tags in the SGML. If the checkbox is selected it will check the P/N Master for the P/N and update existing data from the import. If the P/N must be a Main it will create the NEW Main P/N (MPN), if it doesn't already exist. If it exists as a main it will only update the records as explained. If it exists as an interchangeable P/N to another P/N but must be a MPN, it will change the both-way interchangeable P/N into a Main P/N, making it a one way Part Number to the MPN it was once both-way interchangeable with, and it will apply its own IPC and supplement documentation.

Load Vendors checkbox

Select this checkbox to load the vendors that are associated to supplying the part to which the import is being conducted.

Apply Strict Range Effectivity checkbox

When checked, imported Task Cards/Engineering Controls will be made effective to all Aircraft Type/Series, regardless of whether or not tail-level effectivity is specified in the manual. Positions, Zones, Panels, References, etc. will also be created for all type/series. If unchecked, effectivity will only be created for those type/series that have a least one effective Aircraft specified in the manual.

Load New Interchangeables from IPC checkbox

Select this checkbox to load any association to Interchangeable parts for the part to which the import is being conducted.

Autocreate New Tran Codes checkbox

Some of the Task Card information provided in OEM manuals is controlled by Tran codes (i.e. Task Card types, areas, and skills). Selecting this checkbox will automatically create a Tran code record for any values found in the manual. If this box is not checked, the fields will still be set in the Task Card, but will have to be changed manually when working with the task card. This option is unchecked by default.

Delete Existing Interchangeables checkbox

Select this checkbox to delete the associated Interchangeable parts that existed within the P/N Master prior to the new import being conducted for the part.

Note: This option is not intended to be used regularly when importing, but as an occasional 'clean-up' option.

Figure/Unit Effectivity Level checkbox

When this checkbox is selected, the system will also take into consideration the effectivity from the Figure and Unit from the AIPC SGML. If this checkbox is selected and the P/N effectivity is not specified, the system will assign the Figure Level effectivity to the P/N. If the Figure Level effectivity is not specified, the system will assign the Unit Level effectivity to the P/N. If the Unit Level effectivity is not specified, the system will then assign the TraxDoc effectivity to the P/N.

When the checkbox is deselected, the system will skip the Figure and Unit Level effectivity and assign the TraxDoc effectivity to the P/N (when P/N effectivity is not specified in the manual).

Load As-Required PNs checkbox

When this checkbox is selected, the system will also process P/Ns that are flagged 'As Required' within the AIPC SGML, and the UPA will be set to the value of 1. When this checkbox is deselected, the P/Ns that are flagged as 'As Required' will be ignored.

Load All UPAs checkbox

Select this checkbox to have the system create alphanumeric P/Ns in the P/N Master.

Extended PN Description checkbox

When this checkbox is selected, the short and long P/N Description (provided in the AIPC) will be combined and be used for the P/N Master Description.

Create PN From PNR Data checkbox

Select this checkbox to create a PN from the PNR Data associated with the import.
