Reuse Serial
Explanation
This activity is used to reuse a scrapped serial. A serial can only be reused
when the operational status of the serial is Scrapped.
If the current
maintenance program revision of a scrapped serial has been set
obsolete, the serial will not be updated with the new active revision of the
maintenance program. Therefore, you will not be allowed to reuse this serial
till a valid active maintenance program revision is connected to it. Maintenance
programs are connected to serials using the Change Maintenance Program On
Serial
assistant.
Prerequisites

System Effects
- A valid active maintenance program revision is connected to the serial.
- The operational status of the reused serial is set to Out Of

- The current position of the reused serial is set to In Facility.
- All due calculations for the serial will run automatically to calculate
due dates and values.
