Copy information from another Part Revision

Explanation

This activity is used to copy certain information from one part revision to another. Maintenance codes, condition limits as well as condition limit definitions, sign off requirements defined for the condition limits and maintenance codes, task cards (task cards in the Preliminary and Active status with belonging resources, material, zones, access panels etc.), subtasks (also with belonging detail data such as resources, material, zones, access panels etc.), and connected documents can be copied using the Copy from another Revision assistant. You can also choose to copy the function breakdown associated with the task card or subtask. The part revision to which information is to be copied can be of a different part number.

Ideally this activity can be performed when the part revisions are similar and maintenance requirements are for the most part the same. This activity is also useful when you create a new part revision and make small changes to the maintenance plans. Only information that meet the requirements (template structure, function structure) will be copied.

Prerequisites

System Effects
