The SB communicates details of modifications which can be embodied in A/C and engines. Also creates T/Cs and E/Cs and automatically links them. This is submitted by the OEM. The manufacturer for this manual is Airbus and Boeing.

From the TraxDoc Document window, select the Import From OEM Manual 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.

Note: Be sure the doctype selected is a SB (Service Bulletin) reference.
