TRAX MANUALS > Engineering > Engineering Module - E/C > Engineering E/C, Update Menu > Engineering Authorization Management > Engineering Authorization Process > Engineering Control Authorization, P/N Effectivity Control Tab

The P/N Effectivity Control tab allows the user to apply or remove A/C effectivity to a specific P/N as setup in the currently selected E/C. The P/N is made effective to the A/C, or effectivity is removed from the A/C once the compliance record for the E/C is written. A/C effectivity can be applied to a P/N via E/C compliance even if there is an interchangeable relationship set up.

Note: The functionality found in this tab is intended for Aircraft Engineering Controls.

Note: The user has the option to enter as many Part Numbers as desired by clicking on the New button. Additionally, the user also has the option to remove P/Ns by utilizing the Delete button.

The Allow WO Picklist/Requisition checkbox is available under the P/N Effectivity Control tab. When a new record is created under this tab, the Add radio button and Allow WO Picklist/Requisition checkbox are automatically selected (the checkbox can be deselected); when the remove radio button is selected, the Allow WO Picklist/Requisition checkbox is not visible.

The Allow WO Picklist/Requisition checkbox is security controlled via Security Explorer/ Engineering/ Update/ Engineering Control/ Allow WO Picklist/Requisition. For more information refer to the Security Explorer via the System Administration Training Manual.

Note: The functionality described below (Allow WO Picklist/Requisition checkbox functionality) is only applicable if Switch ADDNONEFPN is set to No.

Note: If customers have Switch ADDNONEFPN set to Yes, it is recommended that security for the Allow WO Picklist/Requisition checkbox be disabled for all users. This will ensure users cannot deselect the checkbox when the Add radio button is used, which would prevent non-effective P/Ns from being added to the W/O Task Card P/N requirements window, and not be able to create picklists or requisitions for that P/N on a Work Order.

Allow WO Picklist/Requisition checkbox functionality:

If the Add radio button and Allow WO Picklist/Requisition checkbox are selected for a P/N, when the E/C and its associated Task Card are attached to a Production Work Order (where the P/N is not currently effective to the A/C), the user will be able to add the non-effective P/N in the W/O Task Card P/N requirement window, and create picklists/requisitions for that P/N; the Work Order and Task Card must be referenced in the picklist/requisition header.

If the Add radio button is selected and the Allow WO Picklist/Requisition checkbox is deselected, the user will not be able to add the non-effective P/N in the W/O Task Card P/N requirement window, and picklists/requisitions cannot be created for the P/N, even if the Work Order and Task Card are referenced in the picklist/requisition header.

Note: Whether or not the Allow WO Picklist/Requisition checkbox is selected, non-effective P/Ns will not automatically populate in the Work Orders W/O Task Card P/N requirement window.

Example 1:

P/N: D5528000100051 is not effective to A/C 241.

PN: D5528000100051 is attached to an E/C via the P/N Effectivity Control tab.

The E/C is linked to a Task Card.

The P/N is attached to the Task Card P/N window.

The E/C is added to a Work Order for A/C 241.

Notice in the W/O Task Card P/N requirement window, via the W/O Task Card P/N button, the P/N does not automatically populate because it is not effective to the A/C.

However, because the Allow W/O Picklist/Requisition checkbox is selected in the E/C P/N Effectivity Control tab, the user can enter and save the non-effective P/N.

The system will allow the user to create picklists and requisitions for the non-effective P/N when the Work Order and Task Card are referenced.

Example 2:

If the Allow WO Picklist/Requisition checkbox is not selected in the P/N Effectivity Control tab

The P/N cannot be added in the W/O Task Card P/N requirement window, and picklists and requisitions cannot be created for the non-effective P/N, even when the Work Order and Task Card are referenced.
