Amending parameter value

This page allows you to amend or modify the parameter value that has already been updated. Tell me more.

Select the “Amend Parameter Values” link at the bottom of the “Select Record For Amendment” page. Alternatively, select the hyperlinked date in the multiline of the same page.

The “Amend Parameter Values” page appears.

The system displays the following fields:

Amendment No.	The number of the amendment made, which is generated automatically by the system.
Date	The date on which the parameter value is amended. The system displays the current date by default.

Enter the following field:

Desc.	The reason for which the parameter value is amended (Alphanumeric, 150).
	Zoom facility available.

The system displays the following fields:

Update on	The equipment or location for which the parameter value is amended.
Code	The identifier of the equipment or location for which the parameter value is amended.
	The description of the equipment or location is retrieved alongside.
	Zoom facility available.
UOM	The unit of measurement of the parameter.
Parameter	The parameter for which the value must be amended. The description of the parameter is retrieved alongside. Zoom facility available.
Inspection Point	The inspection point on the equipment or location for which the parameter is measured.
	The description of the inspection point is retrieved alongside.
	Zoom facility available.
Parameter Type	The type of the parameter.

The system displays the details of the parameter before amendment in the “Original (Before Amendment)” column.

Record the details of the parameter amendment in the “New (After Amendment)” column:

Date	The system displays the date on which the parameter was updated.
	The time at which the parameter was updated, is displayed alongside.
	Enter the date on which the parameter value has been recorded, in the edit box alongside (Date Format) Mandatory.
	Enter the time at which you have amended the parameter value in the edit box alongside (Time Format) Mandatory.
Value	The system displays the value of the parameter as on its last update.
	Enter the amended value of the parameter in the edit box alongside (Alphanumeric, 30) Mandatory.
	If the parameter is of type “Consumption”, the value entered must be positive.
	If the parameter is of type “Attribute”, ensure that the value entered here is already defined for the parameter in the “Create Parameter” activity of the “Equipment Induction” business component and is in “Active” status.
Reported By	The system displays the employee ID of the user who has updated the parameter value.
	Enter the employee ID of the user who has amended the parameter value in the edit box alongside (Alphanumeric, 10). Ensure that the employee has already been defined in the “Define Employee” activity of the “Resources” business component and is in “Current” status.
	Press <Enter>.
	Help facility available.
Remarks	The system displays any additional information about the parameter being updated.
	Any additional information about the parameter being amended (Alphanumeric, 255).
	Zoom facility available.

Click the “Amend Parameter Value” pushbutton, to amend the parameter value.

The system amends the parameter value and performs the following:

For a consumption parameter,

If the parameter was being updated by a new value, the system amends the parameter value with the value that is entered in the “Value” field.
If the parameter was being updated by an incrementing value, the system amends the parameter value by adding the value entered in the “Value” field to the last updated value of the parameter.
The system updates the parameter values for the following:

	all the formula based parameters, which refer to this parameter in the formula
	for all child equipment in the equipment hierarchy having the parameter updation source as “Parent”
	for all rotables that are attached to the equipment

Checks for existence of any usage based preventive maintenance schedules for the equipment. If the value of the parameter updated exceeds the 'Next Value' as per the scheduling options, a preventive maintenance work order will be generated.
Generates inspection orders and calibration orders based on the inspection schedules and the calibration schedules that have been defined for the equipment.

The system performs the following for a “Range” or “Attribute” parameter:

If the parameter is of type “Attribute”,

	Amends the parameter value for an attribute parameter with the value entered in the “Value” field
	Generates the appropriate remedial action, such as raising of work orders, based on the parameter value entered and the triggers defined

For more details regarding triggers defined for parameter values, refer the topic, “Defining predictive triggers”.

If the parameter is of type “Range”,

	Amends the parameter value for a Range parameter with the value entered in the “Value” field
	Updates the value of all the formula based parameters, which refer to this parameter in the formula
	Generates the appropriate remedial action, such as raising of work orders based on the amended parameter value and the triggers defined

For more details regarding triggers defined for parameter values, refer the topic, “Defining predictive triggers”.

The system displays the following fields in the “Record Statistics” group box:

Created By	The login ID of the user who created the amendment transaction.
Created Date	The date and time on which the amendment transaction was created.
Last Modified By	In this activity, the system displays the login ID of the user who created the amendment transaction.
Last Modified Date	In this activity, the system displays the date and time on which the amendment transaction was created.

To proceed, carry out the following

Select the “Affected Parameters” link at the bottom of the page to view the parameters that are affected by the amendment.

Amending Parameter Values – An overview

This page allows you to amend or modify the parameter value that has already been updated. The system generates a number for the amendment. The system also displays the details of the parameter value as on the specified date of update. You can amend the parameter value by entering the following details:

The description of the amendment or the reason for which the parameter value is amended.
The date and time on which the amendment is made on the parameter value.
The amended value of the parameter.
The employee ID of the user who has amended the parameter value.
Any additional information about the amendment.

The system amends the parameter value and does the following:

Updates the parameter value with the amended value.
Updates the parameter values of rotables and child equipment belonging to the equipment.
Updates the values of all parameters which are related to this parameter through a formula.
Generates predictive maintenance work orders, calibration orders and inspection orders based on the amended parameter value.

Note: The parameters that have been updated by a meter reset cannot be amended in this activity.
