Print Serviceability Tag
Explanation
This activity is used to order and print a
serviceability tag report for a part which can either be a serial part or a
non-serial part.
In the Aviation industry it is a requirement that all
components and assemblies which are not installed in a structure are accompanied
with a tag that clearly identifies the component or assembly and its current
status. This tag, referred to as a Serviceability Tag, provides detailed
information on the status of the object and its origin. If it is a serial
object, the serviceability status is automatically determined by the system
using the operational status and operational condition of the serial. Therefore,
- If the operational status of the serial is
Scrapped the serviceability tag will be printed with the Scrapped
serviceability status.
- If the operational condition of the serial is
Operational, the serviceability tag will be printed with the Serviceable
serviceability status.
- If the operational condition of the serial is
Non Operational, the serviceability tag will be printed with the Unserviceable
serviceability status.
If it is a non-serial object, the Print
Serviceability Tag dialog box will open and you need to manually enter
the valid serviceability status for the non-serial. Once printed, the
serviceability tag should accompany the relevant component back to inventory or
when kept in a facility as an uninstalled object (i.e., without a parent part).
The serviceability tag can be printed at the time a
serial/non-serial is moved to inventory, when reporting the arrival of a
serial/non-serial into inventory, when moving into a single location or
scrapping from inventory stock, when splitting a purchase order receipt into
serials, when placing in a facility without a parent part
(i.e., uninstalled serial) and when receiving an MRO object. You can also manually initiate the ordering and
printing of the serviceability tag from several places. The manual process is
described in this activity. For all other instances where the serviceability tag
can be printed, refer the relevant activity descriptions.
Prerequisites
To perform this activity, the serial should not have the Contained
current position.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, the serviceability tag
report is printed with detailed information on the selected component or
assembly. The serviceability tag report can accompany the component to
inventory when returning goods and so on and so forth.
