TRAX MANUALS > Planning > Planning Module > Planning, Query Menu > A/C Planning Query > A/C Planning (Inventory Planner View), Inventory Planning Tab > A/C Planning (Inventory Planner View) Results > Planning Info Button, via A/C Planning Results

Select the Planning Info button to view the A/C Planning Transaction Window. From this pop-up window, the Planned Start Date is defaulted from the Due Date or the date as defined as the Planning Lead Days on the record's Engineering Control, Schedule tab. The user can override this Planned Date as required. For example, if a C-Check is coming due in April, 2017 and an A-Check is scheduled for May, 2017, the user may override the Planned Date to May 2017 to have both the A-Check and C-Check completed. This way, the aircraft is not down twice in two months.

Notice that the Planned Start Date is defaulted from the Due Date or the date as defined as the Planning Lead Days on the Engineering Control, Schedule Tab of the Planning Element Item. The user can override this Planned Date as required. For example, if a C-Check is coming due in April, 2009 and an A-Check is scheduled for May, 2009, the user may override the Planned Date to May, 2009 to have both the A-Check and C-Check completed. This way, the aircraft is not down twice in two months.
