Define Material for Instruction and Subtask

Explanation

This activity is used to define the material that will be utilized per instruction or subtask.

In this instance, the material can refer to necessary components for replacement and/or dispensable parts such as nuts and bolts. There can be certain materials that will not be required each time an operation is performed. For such occurrences, you can specify how likely it is that the material will be used by entering a probability percentage for the relevant material line.

The parts on the material list are not connected to a site at this point since you may not know which workshop will perform each operation. You can connect the material list to a site when it is actually used for a maintenance task.

Prerequisites

• An instruction or subtask needs to be defined for the part revision.
• The parts that are to be included in the material list must be defined as engineering parts. Similarly, the revisions for these parts need to be defined as engineering part revisions. (Vehicle parts are not allowed.)
• If the material is to be supplied by a particular manufacturer and/or be a specific part number from the manufacturer, this manufacturer and the corresponding manufacturer's part number must be entered for each part in the material list.

System Effects

• The material list for an instruction or subtask is defined.
• When pending maintenance tasks are distributed to a work order, the material lists for these tasks will be copied and connected to the work order.

Procedure

Use the following procedure to create a material line using the part revision for which the instruction is valid:

1. Open the Instruction window and query for your part revision.
2. Click the Material List tab and create a new record (F5).
3. In the Sub Part Number field, enter the part number of the part that is to be included in the material list. Use the List of Values to select a value.
4. When the sub part number is selected, a value in the Sub Part Revision field appears automatically. If this is not the required sub part revision, use the List of Values to select another value.
5. If the part is to be supplied by a manufacturer, enter the manufacturer's number in the Manufacturer Number field. Use the List of Values to select a value.
6. If the part is to be supplied with a specific manufacturer's part number, enter the value in the Manufacturer's Part No field. Use the List of Values to select a value.
7. In the Quantity field, enter the quantity of material (i.e., the selected part) that is to be used during the execution of an operation.
8. If the part will not be used every time the operation is executed, enter the probability (as a percentage) of the part being needed in the Probability field.
9. Save the record (F12).

Use the following procedure to create a material line using the manufacturer's part number:

1. Open the Instruction window and query for your part revision.
2. Click the Material List tab and create a new record (F5).
3. In the Manufacturer's Part No field, enter the manufacturer's part number that is to be included in the material list. Use the List of Values to select a value.
4. The corresponding sub part revision information appears automatically in the Sub Part Number and Sub Part Revision fields. If needed, use the List of Values to select another sub part revision in the Sub Part Revision field.
5. In the Quantity field, enter the quantity of material (i.e., the selected part) that is to be used during the execution of an operation.
6. If the part will not be used every time the operation is executed, enter the probability (as a percentage) of the part being needed in the Probability field.
7. Save the record (F12).

Note: You can also define materials for an existing instruction in the following windows:

• Instructions per Maintenance Code/Material Usage
• Modification Details/Instructions/Material Usage
• Condition Monitoring Program/Instructions/Material Usage
• Instructions per Fault Function/Material Usage
• Serial Part Revision/Life Limit/Material Usage

Use the following procedure to define the material to be used on a subtask:

1. Open the Subtasks window.
2. Populate (F2) or query (F3) for the desired subtask.
3. Click the Material List tab and create a new record (F5).
4. Specify the sub part number and sub part revision of the material. Use the List of Values in the relevant fields to select valid values. You can also directly select the manufacturer's part number for the material, thereby retrieving the sub part revision.
5. Enter the quantity of material required.
6. Save the information (F12).
