The Follow Up Requirements window pops up when the Follow Up Requirements button is selected in the N/R Express, General tab, W/O Non-Routine Task Card window, or the Defect Report, Resolution tab. The Follow Up Requirements (FUR) window allows users to create Engineering Controls with adjustable maintenance schedules that allow tracking via Planning. These FUR E/Cs are meant to address further necessities required after the creation of a N/R T/C or a Defect Report. When created from the Non-Routine Express window, users can view all FURs for a Non-Routine Task Card by going to the Follow Up Required tab in the N/R Express window.

When the button is selected, the Follow Up Requirements window appears as follows:

Note: The New button is security-controlled via Production/ Update/ W/O/ W/O Non Routine Task Card FUR/ W/O Non Routine Task Card Fur Button New. For more information refer to the Security Explorer via the System Administration Training Manual.

Note: This window is security-controlled via two separate locations: via Production/ Update/ W/O/ W/O Non Routine Express FUR Button and via Technical Records/ Update/ Defect Reports/ Resolution Tab FUR Button.

FUR Schedule Validation Scenarios

1. The Part Number Serial Number entered against the FUR must be currently installed on the Aircraft associated to the N/R Task Card or Defect Report. If not, the P/N S/N must have been removed from the Aircraft through the FUR's N/R T/C or Defect Report. If the P/N S/N is not associated to the Aircraft in these ways, then the following warning message appears.

2. If multiple FURs are created for a given N/R T/C or Defect Report, each FUR must be for the same Part Number Serial Number or for the same Aircraft. If this is not the case, the following error message appears.

3. If the Part Number Serial Number that is associated to the FUR has a FUR First Schedule with P/N Total Hours or Cycles that is less than the current P/N Total Times for the P/N S/N, users are prevented from saving the FUR.

4. The same warning message appears if the Aircraft that is associated to the FUR has a FUR First Schedule with A/C Total Hours or Cycles that is less than the current A/C Total Times for the Aircraft, users are prevented from saving the FUR.

5. The First Hours, First Cycles, and First Days fields must be greater than the Limit Parameters specified in Production Switch LIMITFURCRITERIA when set to Yes.

Note: The text in the warning message that appears from this error is customizable through the Config Other field of Switch LIMITFURCRITERIA.
