Use this window to enter all the discrepancy codes used in the system. Discrepancy codes are used to describe problems, deficiencies or discrepancies identified during a disposition inspection. Use this window to create discrepancy codes. Discrepancy codes represent the types of problems, deficiencies, or discrepancies that can be identified during a disposition inspection. Discrepancy codes can be either generic or part-specific. For example, discrepancy codes could be created for cosmetic flaws, structural flaws, mechanical flaws, etc.
Discrepancy codes can be mapped to fault codes used in vehicle information management (VIM). One discrepancy code can be mapped to only one fault code. When the discrepancy and fault codes are connected, a discrepancy reported on a shop order will also generate a fault history record for the corresponding fault in the current serial.
Discrepancy codes must be associated with inventory parts before they can be used. This association can be done in either the Discrepancy Code Part window, where parts can be associated with individual discrepancy codes, or the Inventory Part/Manufacturing MRO/Discrepancy Codes tab, where discrepancy codes can be associated with individual parts.
