is there any option in IFS to transfer the MO from one customer to another. The reason being when a aircraft is under maintenance and the ownership of the aircraft is changed from A to B. note: only partial maintenance activities are carried out in the old ownership. Now the MRO wants to bill the new aircraft owners for the maintenance activities carried on the old ownership as well. closing the open MO and raising a new MO is a time consuming process. is there any alternate option to tackle this requirement?
Hi, Once a MO has been released it is not possible to change the Owner of the asset.
As you state the, if some WO’s associated with the MO have been partially completed against one owner then these need to be closed out, all non worked on WO’s need to be cancelled from the MO which will then remove them from the MO and then the MO can be closed.
Then a new MO can be created for the outstanding work which has not be accomplished. But here the issue is maintaining tractability of work done under one MO.
But would it no be preferable to , even if the ownership of the asset changes during the visit to close out all the work orders and events associated with the visit and the MO, raise the required CO against the Original Owner as full sales value or in turn the cost can correctly be determined and then to transfer these cost to the new owner once the asset is delivered to the them.
There are many issues that spring to mind in this whole process that need to be considered for instance does the new owner have either a Service Contract or Heavy maintenance Contract set for the work to be under taken, are the contracting/invoicing rules the same etc.
Can I recommend that you raise an Idea in the community.
