Modification Transfer to Manufacturing

Explanation

Use this activity to transfer modifications to manufacturing. A modification is a generic definition of high-level definitions of service bulletins, airworthiness directives, and other sundry change or maintenance request definitions for an engine type (or a top-level part).

Because the data to create allocations and operations is not present in IFS/Fleet and Asset Management and would only be used by shop orders, you need to take modifications defined for assigned parts and affected parts in IFS/Fleet and Asset Management and transfer them to manufacturing. When this is done, you can associate repair codes to point out the allocations and operations needed to do the work. Note that it is possible to connect repair codes to affected parts directly on a modification in IFS/Fleet and Asset Management. When the modification is transferred to manufacturing, the repair codes will be transferred along with affected part information. A modification, that has affected parts defined, will be transferred automatically to manufacturing when it is set to the Active status.

By transferring modification separately, you can revise modifications in IFS/Fleet and Asset Management and transfer them to IFS Manufacturing without creating new product structure revisions.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that:

• The top part has been transferred to the site, and it was transferred from the latest template structure version.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• If modifications are defined in IFS/Fleet and Asset Management, an MRO modification header record will be created for each of the modifications in the structure, and an MRO part modification record will also be created for each affected part in these modifications.
• If an active modification is transferred, and repair codes have been associated with affected parts on the modification, these repair codes will be transferred along with the affected part information.
