Parts Required |
The Parts Required tab enables you to specify the parts required to perform specific tasks on equipment units in a class. An equipment unit’s class for resources determines which entries on this screen apply to the unit. The Shop Scheduling module considers parts to be resources required to perform a task. Because the module considers parts availability when it schedules the tasks, it uses the information on this screen to ensure that the required parts are available.
The information entered on this screen determines the choice list selection on the Parts Issues and Returns, Work Order Center, Work Order-Short Form, Bar Code Issues, and Requests screens. The parts choice lists populate as follows:
First, based on the contents of this screen
Secondly, by the parts at the work order location's default inventory location or manually selected issuing location.
The fields in the top section of this tab define the data that displays.
Equipment class ID
This is the identifier of the equipment class for resources (assigned to equipment units on the Classes tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen). This field has a list box. The class name displays to the right of the ID.
Equipment classes are defined on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Equipment Class -> Primary Information screen.
Task or standard ID
This is the identifier of the single repair task, repair group, or PM service on which to base the standard. This field has a list box. The following choices are appropriate for parts required:
Any repair group: Repair group number
Any repair task: Complete repair task code
Any PM service: Letter that designates the PM service
Any standard: Valid ID of a standard. (See also metric variant.) Examples:
MPG: Miles per gallon (fuel)
GPH: Gallons per hour (fuel)
MPQ: Miles per quart (oil) (in thousands)
L/100KM: Liters per 100 kilometers (fuel)
L/HR: Liters per hour (fuel, oil)
KM/L: Kilometers per liter (oil) (in thousands)
$TO: Total operating cost (fuel, fluids, miscellaneous)
$TR: Total repair cost
$TP: Total PM cost
The description displays to the right of the ID.
Data in the fields at the bottom section of this tab specify information about the parts. Unless otherwise indicated, these fields are required.
Generated part requests default to issue together
If this field has a check, all parts requested must be issued together, regardless of when the individual parts become available.
Print parts list on work orders when this task is included on a work order for an equipment unit assigned to this resources class
If this field has a check and the task is included on a work order for an equipment unit that the Classes tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen assigns to an equipment class for resources, a parts list is printed for the task on the work order.
The following fields, presented in the Parts required to perform this task on units in this class group data table, specify the parts required to complete the task. Unless otherwise indicated, these fields are required.
Delete: To delete the entries in the fields to the right, place a check in this field and click Save.
Part ID: The identifier of the part required to perform the task on units assigned to the equipment class ID for resources. This part ID is associated with the part suffix. This field has a list box. The part description displays to the right of the ID. Equipment units are assigned to equipment classes on the Classes tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen.
Tip: If there is a check in the Add parts issued to repair groups and tasks to class/task parts lists or the Add parts issued to PM and inspection services to class/task parts lists fields on the Options tab of the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Options screen, part IDs are automatically added to this list when you post parts charges to a work order task with the task type indicated in those fields. If you enter a valid cross-reference entry for the part ID/suffix, it is automatically converted to the appropriate part ID/suffix. If more than one valid part ID/suffix is associated with the cross-reference part ID, a list box of valid part ID/suffixes displays.
Part suffix: The number associated with the part in the Part ID field.
Quantity: The number of issue units of the part required to perform one instance of the task on an equipment unit in this class. Must be 1 for serialized parts. May be fractional quantity for fractional parts.
Percentage: The percentage used for the part. This value is applied to quantity wherever class/task parts required lists are used. This information can be used for reporting or interfaces; it does not affect work order printouts or other standard parts lists. The percentage defaults to 100. The percentage number must be 0 or 100 for fractional or serialized parts. Final quantity = quantity required * [percentage/100]. This field is optional.
Part description: The description associated with the part. This is for display only.
