MEL Master, Conflict MEL Tab

The MEL Conflict Tab is used to link MELs that cannot be opened simultaneously. If a Defect Report is being deferred using an MEL that already has its conflict MEL open from another Defect Report a pop up is displayed to warn the user of the conflict.

Set up a conflict MEL as follows:

1. Select an MEL and go to the Conflict Tab.
2. Select the New button.
3. Select into the field and select an MEL from the Drop Down Selection window.

Note: The Drop Down Selection window only displays MELs for the same Aircraft Type and Series.

Note: A Two Way Relationship Conflict is established between the MELs.

Note: When the switch DEFCONFLICT is set to Yes, the system does not allow the user to save an MEL that has been applied to a Defect Report if the A/C has an existing Defect Report that has a conflicting MEL. Additionally, the system prevents the user from applying an MEL to a Defect report if a conflicting MEL already has already been applied to the Defect Report. When set to No, the system allows the user to save an MEL that has been applied to a Defect Report if the A/C has an existing Defect Report that has a conflicting MEL. The system will display a soft warning. Additionally, the system allows the user to apply an MEL to a Defect report when a conflicting MEL already has already been applied to the Defect Report. For more information, refer to DEFCONFLICT.
