CAMRO Purchase Order Connection to Project

Hi all, Apparently it is not possible to connect a purchase order line with demand code ‘interim order’ to a project activity. Only demand codes Inventory Order and Non-Inventory Order are allowed to connect. Is there a reason why this works this way? Trying to figure out the implications this might have. Is there some kind of workaround that I am missing?

Tracking MEL/Inop Seats

Southwest Airlines will soon be assigning seats, so the need to track inop seats at the actual seat number will be critical. Currently, we track seats for each row, not at the individual seat number. When we have a fault or an MEL, the seat in question is notated in the fault description, but we have no means of being able to select the actual seat. How do other operators, that assign seats, track inop seats in Maintenix? Are your seats currently tracked to the individual seats?

MRP is not able to identify the End Use of the Purchase Requisitions

When a demand is generated for materials from different Work Orders MRP is not possible to differentiate which requisition corresponds to which demand. Without the ability to connect the demand to the originating requisition, once the PR>PO is processed and the parts are received into inventory, the inventory can then be reserved by any of the WOs.This is challenging for Aerospace Industry, due to having strict controls over the parts to be used for specific work tasks. Customers are using custom fields such as “Tail No: provides the Aircraft tail number. and Demand Info - provides the WO number. in the purchase requisition lines to resolve the issue. However this leads to other challenges when the PR line contains multiple Work orders for same due date. What is expected is a soft pegging between the work tasks material demand and Purchase Requisition and the Purchase Orders, so that when the part is received to the inventory correct part is reserved to the correct demand from the W

CRO - External Service Order not getting completed after receiving different part number

Hi All,I am working with an aircraft OEM and they manage different kind of rotable pools with their customers wherein customer can take a part from the rotable pool and in-return will supply the unserviceable core item to the OEM for repair.This OEM does not carry out internal repairs and create a CRO of repair order type “external service order” to send the unserviceable core part (P1) to supplier and get it repaired. Some of the times, the supplier will perform modification to the part (P1) which leads to change of part number (P1 now becomes P2). When we receive the modified part (P2), OEM would perform Register Arrival - utilize modify receipt conditions and change the part number (P2 - ensure alternates are defined) and receive the modified part (P2) in inventory. This creates a part serial transaction for the received modified part and serial.Now the caveat over here is, the CRO external order which was initially created for the unserviceable part P1 remains open and under the tr

Issue with Installing Jasper Studio 9.0.0 for custom reports

With the upgrade to Maintenix 8.3 SP10, we need to upgrade JasperReports Server to version 9.0.0, this is fine, we’ve already installed it on our Dev box. We have a lot of custom reports and we have used Jasper Studio in the past to develop and publish reports. Unfortunately, it looks like Jasper Studio 9.0.0 now needs an internet connection to log into the Jaspersoft community before we can use it. Our Dev box (and all our servers) are not allowed to be on the internet due to ITAR constraints, we also aren’t allowed to install software on our local machines due to our company security policy. We have a lot of security restrictions that make this process difficult.We’re talking to our Infrastructure team to try and find a solution and are wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and how they have solved it.

Removing batched stock that is not issued to an aircraft

As everyone knows, doing anything ADHOC in Maintenix creates multiple “behind the scenes” issues that cause massive data base clean up to have to take place. However, the question arises: how do you remove batched inventory from the system when it is not used on an actual aircraft? An example of this is when a bowser is serviced, oil and filters are used to maintain the bowser. These items would not be issued to an aircraft, as they are not used on an aircraft. This leaves the airline with two choices: a) do an ADHOC issue or b) adjust out the stock. As mentioned above, if an ADHOC issue is performed, this can often times create an ADHOC request that never closes. It is not obviously seen, so you typically find it when a station keeps receiving stock from the main supplier location for an item they already have plenty of stock on. If the Stock Adjustment is the preferred method, for ATI, we only have just a certain few individuals that have the ability to adjust out stock, as we

Unicode characters in Job Card Steps

Hi All,Qantas currently has an open issue with IFS for Job Card Steps with “special” characters causing HTML formatting on the Task Card report to fail. This can also cause job card steps to appear to have been edited when using show differences however it is not apparent to the task writer what has been changed.It looks like it is caused by some character encoding conversion when a task is revised. This is only an issue since we moved to 8.3SP5, possibly related to the data type change of the step_ldesc to CLOB. Generally this is caused when content is copied from an MS office application that has tried to be helpful and replace a " with a “. When the task is revised, this character is replaced with a space and an ascii DC3 character(0x19). Its these control characters that cause the Jasper reports to stop trying to apply the formatting correctly.We’re interested to learn if other operators, especially those with languages that use characters not in the latin-1 character set, hav

Aviation : Engine MRO Process - Ability to record measurements, validate and analyze data outcome

Industry : Aerospace & Defense Sub-Industry : MRO Line of Business : Engine MRO / Landing Gear / Component MROBusiness Background : Parts (E.g. Blade, Fan, Bushings) removed from large assembly (E.g. Engine, Landing Gear, APU) are subjected to cleaning and inspection process, post which the repair actions will be determined. This will be captured against the part by the Engineering / Team in the form of Component Job cards and Inspection forms. Detailed inspection procedures are carried out stringently by recording the measurements of applicable parameters [such as inner diameter, outer diameter, length, width, thickness..] and validated with standard values / limits that are prescribed the manufacturers in their maintenance manuals (embedded within work instructions). Mechanics, Technicians record the measurements of the parts subjected to inspection and validated with the standard limits and report the outcome as to whether the reported values are within the standard limits (or)
