Install Part
Explanation
This activity is used to install into the serial structure a structure entry
lacking a serial number. You can connect both serialized and non-serialized
parts using this activity. Only a part that is the same as or is an alternate
for the part that was previously installed in the structure position can be
installed. When installing parts to a structure position, you are allowed to
install any prime parts or valid alternates, provided that the operational
status of the structure was not changed from Planned For Operation. Once
the operational status of the structure is changed from Planned For Operation,
rules of interchangeability will be applied and you will no longer be allowed to
install alternate parts that do not meet the validations for interchangeability
of alternate parts. Note that it is also possible to install any prime parts or
alternates for structure positions in completely new structures which are In
Operation or Out Of Operation, but where no parts are installed after
a structure change was performed. If nothing has been installed in the structure
position the prime part of the serial structure template is used.
When a part is installed into a structure having an operational status of
either In Operation or Out Of Operation, an entry will be created
in the replacement history.
Prerequisites
- A disconnected serial structure entry must exist without a serial
number.
- If you want to install an alternate, the alternate has to be defined as
a position alternate or a template alternate. For more information, refer
the activities Define Alternate Parts per Position and Define
Alternate Parts in Template.
- Dependencies may be defined. For more information, refer the activity
Define Dependency Rules.
System Effects
- You will fit the selected non-serialized part to a predefined serial structure
position.
- The structure position into which the part is installed will become an
installed structure position.
- If the installation causes a Mandatory type
dependency rule to be violated, the operational condition of the parent
serial will be set to Non Operational.
- The Item Installed check box will be selected for
the installed part.
- If the part installed is defined as an alternate with the Qualified
Interchangeable interchangeability rule, the alternate must be approved
before the operational condition for the structure can be set to
Operational. For more information, refer the activity Approve or
Reject Structure Changes.

Procedure
Use this procedure to install a part into a serial structure:
- Open the Serial Structure Information window and query (F3) for
the necessary structure.
- In the graphical object structure, select the
empty structure position into which the part is to be installed,
right-click, point to Structure Changes, and then click Install
Part. The Install Part assistant opens.
Note: This assistant can also be opened from the
Consist Of tab, by right-clicking on a serial record, pointing to
Structure Changes, and then clicking Install Part. When you are
working in this tab, and need to move down the structure, select the required
serial record, right-click and then click Next Level until the required
structure level is displayed.
- The vehicle ID, top part number and top serial number appear
automatically in the Install or Swap into area.
- In the Structure Position field, enter the structure position in
which the part is to be installed. A structure position must exist for a
part to be installed in the structure. Click List to select a
structure position currently unoccupied.
- In the Workshop field, enter the workshop responsible for
installing the part. Click List to select a valid value.
- If you want to connect the part installation to a maintenance event, click List
to select a valid value for the Mx Event Number field.
- In the Str. Change Date field, enter the date
and time the structure change is to be performed.
- Select the Unscheduled Removal? check box if this structure
change is to be an unscheduled removal.
- Select the Run in Batch? check box if you want access rights for
the installed part (only if child serials are installed in the part) to be
updated through a batch job.
- Click Finish to close the assistant and perform the structure
change.
Use this procedure to perform a structure change, i.e., install a part, for
the structure of the serial on the work task:
- Open the Report In Work Order window and query (F3) for
the desired work order.
- Click the Work Tasks tab, select the
desired task, and then click the Task Card
tab. Alternatively, the Work Task/Task Card
tab can be
used to perform these steps.
- Right-click and click Perform Structure Change. The
Structure Changes - Select Action assistant step opens.
- Select Install Part and then click Next. The Install
Part step opens.
- The vehicle ID, top part number and top serial number appear
automatically in the Install or Swap into area.
- In the Structure Position field, enter the structure position in
which the part is to be installed. A structure position must exist for a
part to be installed in the structure. Click List to select a
structure position currently unoccupied.
- The workshop to which the work order was
distributed appears automatically in the Workshop field. If
necessary, you can change to another workshop using the List of Values.
- In the Str. Change Date field, enter the
correct date and time the structure change is to be performed.
- Click Finish to close the assistant and
perform the structure change.
Use this procedure to perform a structure change, i.e.,
install a part in the structure of the vehicle on which the fault was reported:
- Open the Flight Log window and
populate (F2) or query (F3) for your flight log number and/or serial.
- Click the Fault tab and select the
relevant fault number from the Fault Number list.
- Right-click and click Perform Structure Change.
The Structure Changes - Select Action step opens.
- Verify that the Install Part option is
selected and then click Next. The Install Part step opens.
- Continue with steps 3 to 10 described in the in
the first procedure listed above.
