Add or Remove Connection to Task Card

Explanation

This activity is used to connect task cards and/or remove task cards from maintenance event codes (i.e., maintenance codes, condition limits, modifications, fault functions, life limit, and post maintenance checks). A task card consist of resources, material, zones and access panels, sign off requirements, criticalities, condition measurements, and subtasks. Task cards can be broken down into more detailed activities referred to as subtasks.

Note that the task card criticality can only be entered in the Task Card window.

For more information on how to register a task card, refer the online help file Define Task Card.

Prerequisites

• The maintenance code to which the task card is to be connected should be defined in basic data.
• The condition limit to which the task card should be connected must exist.
• The modification to which the task card should be connected must be defined and contain assigned part revisions.
• The part must be defined as a life limited part (LLP) and have a stress rating connected to it in order to add or remove task cards from the life limit.
• The post maintenance check definition to which the task card is to be connected must be defined and contain assigned part revisions.
• The product, model and function structure of the part revision for which the task card is valid must be defined.
• If resources are to be connected, resources with the resource type Person Group or Tool/Equipment Group that are valid for use in Maintenance must exist.
• The parts which are to be included as material requirements must be defined as engineering parts.
• If a task card is to be removed, the task card must be in the Preliminary status and detailed data (e.g., a connected material or a zone) should not be connected to it.

System Effects

• If the task card is connected to a maintenance code, the task card is transferred to the work order when the interval based maintenance event is distributed.
• If the task card is connected to a modification code or condition limit, the task card is transferred to the work order when the modification or condition based maintenance event is distributed.
• For a task card that is connected to a fault function, when a fault is reported on a serial that has the given product model and function structure, the task card appears by default in the Serial Operational Information/Fault/Task Cards tab.
• Task Cards will be defined and connected to or removed from the life limited event.
• Task Cards will be connected to generated post maintenance checks.
• If a task card is connected or removed from an active post maintenance check definition, this change will be recorded in the journal for the definition.
