Define Condition Codes
Explanation
Use this activity to define condition codes for use
with serial and/or lot/batch tracked parts. Condition codes are user-defined
values which are used to indicate the condition of the selected part. Codes
can be defined, for example, for new, rebuilt, repaired, unserviceable, or a
variety of other conditions.
Prerequisites
N/A
System Effects
The values entered on the
Condition Code tab
of the Part Basic Data window will be used to indicate
the condition of serial and lot/batch tracked parts for which condition code
functionality is enabled. Only the values entered in this tab will be available
in the List of Values in various windows and tabs throughout IFS Applications.
One of the entered condition codes will appear as the default. Once a code has
been connected to any part record, it cannot be removed. The description and
values for the other fields can be modified, however.
Condition code values can be changed for serial and lot/batch tracked parts in only
a limited number of windows. In most windows, the condition code value cannot be
modified.

Either enter information directly, or double-click in the field, to open a text

- Optionally, you can associate part availability
control parameters with the condition code. Select the desired availability
control ID, using the List of Values in the Default Avail Control ID field. The associated description will automatically appear in the
Availability Control Description field.
- Create a new record line, and repeat steps 3-7 for
any additional condition codes you want to enter.
- Save the record.
To change the default condition code:
- Open the Part Basic Data window,
click the Condition Code tab and query for the desired
condition code.
- Right-click, then click Set as Default Condition Code to change
the value in Default Condition Code field. Only one condition code can be
selected as the default condition code.
