PLANNING CONTROL > Switches

Switches

Configuration switches allow administrators to modify specific features. Each module/app contains its own set of switches which can be found via System/Explorer/System Transaction Configuration in the core application. For more information, refer to the System Administration Training Manual.

Note: Some switch functionality may be limited to operators using eMRO.

The following switches are compatible with the Planning Control application:

When set to Yes, a Rolling Average is calculated for the mean hours and cycles calculation that is generated via the A/C Schedule Flight and uses the switch’s Config Number to determine the length of it to be applied. When set to No, a Rolling Average is not calculated for the mean hours and cycles calculation that is generated via the A/C Schedule Flight. For more information, refer to ACROLAVG in the Planning Training Manual.

PN_EC_INSTDAYS

When set to Yes, in the Engineering Control, Schedule tab, three options are available from the Calendar Days drop down (Yes, No, No Fly) and the planning forecast calculates the E/C's due date based on the selection made. With this switch setting the Calendar Days drop down will default to No. When set to No, only two options are available from the Calendar Days drop down (Yes, No Fly) and the planning forecast calculates the E/C's due date based on the selection made. With this switch setting the Calendar Days drop down will default to Yes. For more information, refer to PN_EC_INSTDAYS in the Planning Training Manual.

SESSIONTIMEOUT

When the switch SESSIONTIMEOUT is set to Yes, the number entered in the Config Number field dictates how long, in minutes, a user can remain inactive before the session expires. The maximum configurable session before the system times out is 480 minutes. When set to No, the number entered in the Config Number field does not affect the user's session. The system will instead default the session timeout to 20 minutes. This switch applies to the Customer Portal, eContent Control, Line Control, Planning Control, Production Control, Shop Control, Visual Check apps. For more information, refer to SESSIONTIMEOUT in the System Administration Training Manual.

When set to Yes, all Task Cards added to a W/O will contain an automatically created last Item with a Sort Order 999 and a predefined Item Text (a CRS) taken from the switch's Config Other field. Additional Configurations can be set using the switch's Config Number field. This final Item will be created automatically once the T/C is saved to the W/O. When set to No, Task Cards added to a W/O will not contain an automatically created last Item. For more information, refer to TCCRSITEM in the Production Training Manual.
