Enter Affected Parts
Explanation
This activity is used to define the parts that will be affected when the
modification is performed. Each part in the structure of the assigned part, on
which inspections or work is performed, must be defined as affected parts. This
is necessary since the inspections and/or terminating actions for the
modification are performed on affected parts.
If IFS/Complex Assembly MRO is used, the description of the work that is to be
performed on each affected part is defined using repair codes. Therefore, if the
part affected by the modification is the same as the part to which the
modification is assigned, this part must be defined as an affected part in order
to enable the connection to repair codes.
An affected part may be a part number or revision which is installed in a
specific position in the structure of the assigned part. It could also be a
particular part number that is installed in a structure position in the
structure of the assigned part or a part number regardless of where it is used.
For a more detailed description, observe the following methods used to define an
affected part:
- If a value is entered in the Affected Part Number field only, all
occurrences of the part number in the structure will be considered an
affected part regardless of the part revision or structure position.
- If values are entered in both the Affected Part Number and
Affected Part Revision fields, the part revision is used to determine if
it is an affected part. For example, a part with revisions R01 and R02
exist. This part, along with the revision R01 is entered as the affected
part revision. Therefore part revision R01 is an affected part while the
part revision R02 is not an affected part.
- If values are entered in the Template Part Number, Template
Part Revision and Affected Structure Position fields, the part
number and revision that is installed in this position is considered an
affected part.
- If values are entered in the fields Affected Part Number,
Template Part Number, Template Part Revision and Affected
Structure Position, the part is considered an affected part regardless
of the part revision.
- If values are entered in the fields Affected Part Number,
Affected Part Revision, Template Part Number, Template Part
Revision and Affected Structure Position, the part is considered
an affected part only as long as the given part number and revision is
installed in the affected structure position.
If the modification leads to the change of a part number and/or part revision
on an affected part, this activity can be used to enter the new part number
and/or revision for the affected part. When a new part number is entered, the
serial part identity will be changed automatically once the modification is
performed, and will include the new part number and revision.
If the value in the Sign Off field is set to Affected serial marked
as complied with, the corresponding serial part for all affected parts is
stamped with compliance when the modification is performed. This feature is
useful when you want to identify the subcomponents that have been modified.
Prerequisites
- The modification must be in the Preliminary status.
- Parts and revision must have been assigned to the modification.
- The part which is to be defined as an affected part must exist in the
template structure of the part that is assigned to the modification.
If the modification leads to a part identity change,
- the new part number and part revision for a modified part must exist as
a valid serial part revision.
- the new part number and revision must have been defined as a valid
alternate to the affected part.
- the new manufacturer and manufacturer's part number must have been
defined in IFS/Part Catalog.
System Effects
- When the modification task is completed on the assigned serials a
history record is created. The record will contain the serials in the
structure that match the requirements defined in the Modification
Details/Affected Parts tab, and where the value in the Sign Off
field is set to Affected serial marked as complied with.
- Affected serial history can be viewed in the Modification
Details/Affected Serial History tab.
- Once the modification leading to a part identity change is complied
with, the serial will be updated with the new part number, revision and
manufacturer information entered on the affected part. If the serial is
assigned as to be performed on another modification, the rename will cause
the serial to be removed from that modification.

Procedure
The following procedure is used to enter the part that
is affected by the modification:
Note: When entering an affected part on the
modification, you are recommended to use one of the five steps detailed above
under the section Explanation.
- Open the
Modification Details window
and query (F#3) for your modification that is in the Preliminary status.
- Click the
Affected Parts
tab and
create a new record (F5).
- In the Affected Part Number field, enter
the part number of the part that is affected by the modification. Use the
List of Values to select a valid value.
- In the Affected Part Revision field, enter
the revision of the part that is affected by the modification. Use the List
of Values to select a valid value.
- In the Template Part Number field, enter
the identity of the template part in which the affected structure position
is found. Use the List of Values to select a valid value. Note: A
value in this field is required when a value in the Affected Structure
Position field is entered.
- In the Template Part Revision field, enter
the revision of the template part in which the affected structure position
is found. Use the List of Values to select a valid value.
- In the Affected Structure Position field,
enter the identity of the position in the structure which is affected by the
modification. Use the List of Values to select a valid value.
- If a history record is to be created for an
affected part, select Affected serial marked as complied with in
the Sign Off field for the particular affected part row.
- Save the record (F12).
If the modification leads to a part identity change on
an affected part, the following procedure can be used to enter a new part number
and revision for the affected part:
- Open the
Modification Details window
and query for your modification that is in the Preliminary status.
- Click the
Affected Parts tab
and locate the row that contains the affected part you want.
- In the Change to Part Number field, enter
the new part number you want. Use the List of Values to select a valid
value.
- In the Change Part Revision field, enter a
valid part revision for the new part number. Use the List of Values to
select a valid value.
- In the Change to Manufacturer's
Number field, enter the manufacturer of the new part number. Use the
List of Values to select a valid value. Note: If the manufacturer of
the affected part number and new part number is the same, it is not
necessary to enter a value in this field.
- In the Change to Manufacturer's
Part Number field, enter the new manufacturer's part identity. Use the
List of Values to select a valid value. When a new manufacturer is entered,
the corresponding manufacturer part number must be given.
- Save your changes (F12).
