Define Condition Limits per Part Revision

Explanation

This activity is used to register condition limits. Condition limits are used to define the conditions that are to be measured for each part revision using condition limits and recommended intervals. When a new condition limit is created for a part revision, all serials with this part revision will receive the new condition limit by default. In the same manner, when a condition limit is deleted, it will also be deleted from all serials with the same part revision. Note: A condition limit cannot be deleted if a maintenance task for the condition limit exists on a serial.

Prerequisites

• A serial part revision must exist. 
• Condition categories must have been defined in basic data. 

System Effects

As a result of this activity, you can now record condition measurements on all serial that have the part revision for which the condition limit was registered.

8. Enter valid values in the following fields: Warning Limit Min, Warning Limit Max, Danger Limit Min, Danger Limit Max and Change Limit.
9. Optionally, you can define how often the part is to be measure using the given condition category by entering a value in the Measure Frequency field.
10. If a measure frequency is entered the frequency unit must be entered. In the Frequency Unit list, select the relevant frequency unit.
11. In the Task Remark field, enter any additional information on the condition limit. Entering a value in this field is optional. Double-clicking on the field will open a text editor where you can enter text in a more convenient fashion. When a task is created for the condition limit, this information will be transferred to the Task Remark field of the corresponding task record on the maintenance order.
12. Save the record (F12).
