Prepare to decomply a performed modification
Explanation
This activity is used to create a pending task for the de-compliance of a
modification.
When a modification is complied with, all defined actions are performed as
specified. However, occasions can arise where previously performed actions need
to be reversed (in other words, you need to de-comply a modification). This can be
performed using the Create Decomply Task option. With this option, a new
modification task containing the modification execution type de-comply, is used
to reverse the action of the modification that was previously performed.
When a modification of execution type Terminating
Action leading to a part identity change is complied with, the serials assigned
to and/or affected by the modification is automatically renamed to the new part
number and revision. The Create Decomply Task option can be used to
create a pending task for the modification to reverse the performed serial
rename. Once the de-complied modification task is finished, the renamed serial
will be reversed back to its origin defined on the modification.
This means that the renamed serial will be changed automatically and will
include the old part number used before the serial was renamed. If history
records were updated with the new part number of the renamed serial, these
records will be updated once more to include the old part number of the serial.
Note: Modification tasks cannot be included in an MRO work scope if
the tasks lead to a change in a serial's part identity.
Prerequisites
- A historical modification (i.e., the modification is
completed) with either an Active or an Obsolete status, must exist for the
serial. Both pending and running de-comply tasks can be defined for
obsolete modifications.
- The Decompliance Allowed check box must be selected for the part
assigned to the modification. For more information on connecting parts to a
modification, refer to the activity
Assign Parts to Modification.
- If the modification has been complied with, the
compliance status for the modification must be Complied. (Initial or
continued inspections cannot be de-complied at this stage.)
- The modification that will be de-complied must have the execution type
Terminating Action. Furthermore, the Decompliance Allowed check box
must be selected for the modification.
- If a part identity change performed on a serial
through the embodiment of a modification is to be reversed, a pending task
for the de-compliance of the modification must exist.
System Effects
- A pending task for the de-compliance of the modification is created, and the
task is available for normal task distribution.
- When a referenced modification with a reference type of
Mandatory is decomplied for a serial, the pending task created for the
referencing modification is removed.
- When a de-complied modification task leading to a
part identity change is finished, the serial is reversed back to its origin
defined on the modification.
- When a de-complied modification task leading
to a part identity change is finished, and history for the serial has been
updated with the new part number, these history records will be updated once
more with the old part number and revision.

Procedure
General - If post maintenance checks (PMCs)
exist after the modification has been complied with, you can choose to remove
these PMCs immediately, or after the de-comply task for this modification is
completed.
Select from the following options to create a pending
task for the de-compliance of a modification. A de-comply task can be created from
any of the windows listed under Window.
Procedure 01:
- Open the Modifications that can be decomplied
window. You can also perform this procedure from one of the windows listed
under Window.
- Query (F3) for the serial and modification task
you want to de-comply.
- Select the relevant row, right-click and then
click Create Decomply Task.
- A message appears requesting confirmation of the
task. Click OK to create a new pending task.
Procedure 02:
(Ideally, this procedure would be performed for
modifications that relate to a complex MRO flow.)
- Open the
Task Summary window. Note
that this procedure can also be performed using the
Change Work Scope
Tasks window.
- In the Work Order field, query (F3) for the
work order to which the serial and modification you choose to de-comply
belongs.
- Click the
Modification tab.
- Select the All PCW option. For example, if
the required modification is included in a baseline, select this option from
the Baseline Modifications area. As a result, the table in the
window is populated with the modifications that are currently complied with.
- Select the row containing the required task,
right-click, and then click Create Decomply Task.
- A message appears requesting confirmation of the
task. Click OK to create a new pending task.
