Define Item Code

Explanation

A deferral item holds the maximum delays in days and/or in an operational parameter. If the deferral list code requires a list item definition, item codes with a maximum delay must be defined. If the default maximum delays have been defined on the Categories tab, you can associate an item code with a category. Otherwise you must manually specify the maximum delay in days and/or operational parameter. The items codes can then be associated with the appropriate part revisions. 

Prerequisites

• The deferral list code must exist. For more information, see the Define Fault Deferral help file.
• In order to use default values for the delays, the deferral category must exist. For more information, see the Define Category With Default Maximum Delays help file.

System Effects

• A deferral item is created.
• The deferral item can be connected to part revisions. For more information see the Connect Part Revision to Item Code help file.
• The deferral item can be connected to functions. For more information see the Connect Function to Item Code help file.
