MANUALS > Engineering > Engineering Module - T/C > Engineering - T/C, Update Menu > Task Card Selection > Task Card Selection Buttons > New Task Card Express Button, via Task Card Selection > New Task Card Express Button, Material Tab

The Material tab is used to modify/create the material requirements (parts and kits) to carry out this Task Card. The user may specify if the material is a spare or a tool. The material will be designated for reservation if required. This information will later be used to produce a material pre-load report for a Work Order (check/visit) and can automatically create Picklists and back orders as required.

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

New Record button

Select this button to add a new line item to the section.

Delete Record button

Delete the selected line item entry.

P/N

The Part Number reference for the aircraft part. This is the Part Number required for the T/C. A part number may be specified only one time per Item Number. However, the same part number may be specified on each unique item number if needed. Users can select into this field or select the Add/Delete Record button to add a P/N.

Note: The system will display P/N suggestions based on the characters entered in the field.

Description

The description of the part.

Item

The item number required to accomplish a Task Card.

Category

The category of the part as defined in Settings/ Explorer/ System Transaction Code Explorer/ Settings/ P/N Category (e.g. Rotable, Consumable, Repairable) and entered for the particular part in the P/N Master.

QTY

The quantity of items/parts required.

Note: Only those parts effective to the A/C Tail number will be reserved or requisitioned as part of the Pick List Generation in the Production module.

Spare/Tool drop down

If the item required is a spare, this can be either an Expendable or a Rotable part. If the item required is a tool, the P/N must be configured as a Tool in P/N Master via Settings/ Update/ P/N Master.

Reserve radio button

Select this option to reserve the spare or tool when W/O P/N reservation is applied. When a Picklist Reservation is made via a Work Order, only parts that have the Reserve radio button checked will be reserved. For more information regarding picklist creation, please go to Production/ Update/ Work Order/ Picklist button.

Note: When the Task Card is attached to a W/O, only parts that belong to the Company entered in the W/O header will be reserved.

Note: If a P/N required will be supplied by both the company and the customer, multiple rows need to be set up; one row will have the Reserve radio button selected (telling the system to reserve parts that belong to the Company entered in the W/O header), and the other row will have the Customer Provided radio button selected (telling the system to reserve parts with a Loan Category 'Manage' and identified with the Owner code of the customer that is linked to the third party W/O).

Note: When Production Switch EXINMASYS is set to Yes, picklist reservations will not be created for parts set to the Reserve status regardless of available quantities in Inventory.

Note: For parts that are flagged as 'Reserve', if the required parts are available in inventory as batches of regular stock and as batches of managed inventory, when a Picklist is created the Picklist will pull from the batch of regular stock instead of the managed inventory.

Repair Return radio button

Select this option to repair/return the spare when W/O P/N reservation is applied. This option is used if the currently installed part will be removed and repaired (via Shop or Repair Order) then reinstalled on the same aircraft to satisfy the Task Card's requirement. This is informational. When a Picklist Repair/Return is made via a Work Order, only parts that have the Repair/Return radio button checked will be repaired or returned.

None radio button

Select this option if no spare or tool will be reserved (picklisted) or repaired.

Customer Provided radio button

This option indicates that the customer will provide the required part. When selected, a picklist will only be created for parts in inventory that are owned by the same customer of the third party W/O. If the part is not available in inventory for that Owner, then a picklist will not be created nor will a Requisition be created - there will be no further action in the system as it will be up to the customer to provide the part.

Note: When the Task Card is attached to a W/O, only parts with a Loan Category 'Manage' and identified with the Owner code of the customer that is linked to the third party W/O will be reserved.

Note: If a P/N required will be supplied by both the company and the customer, multiple rows need to be set up; one row will have the Reserve radio button selected (telling the system to reserve parts that belong to the Company entered in the W/O header), and the other row will have the Customer Provided radio button selected (telling the system to reserve parts with a Loan Category 'Manage' and identified with the Owner code of the customer that is linked to the third party W/O).
