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:
- Open the
Instruction window and
query for your part revision.
- Click the
Material List tab and
create a new record (F5).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Save the record (F12).
Use the following procedure to create a material line
using the manufacturer's part number:
- Open the
Instruction window and
query for your part revision.
- Click the
Material List
tab and
create a new record (F5).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Save the record (F12).
Note: You can also define materials for an existing instruction in the following windows:

Use the following procedure to define the material to
be used on a subtask:
- Open the Subtask window.
- Populate (F2) or query (F3) for the desired
subtask.
- Click the Material List tab and
create a new record (F5).
- 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.
- Enter the quantity of material required.
- Save the information (F12).
