This screen is used to maintain associations between specific System/Assembly Codes and ATA Job Codes. Once established this System/Assembly/Part code is added to the Part number on the Part Main Catalog where it will serve as a cross reference when charging parts to a job.
Create
To create a new System/Assembly/Part code enter the System/Assembly code or double click in the field to select one from the list of values (LOV).
Enter a Parts code in the blank Code field. This field has a limit of four characters. Next, enter a description for the code. This field has a limit of 45 characters.
Once the entry is complete, click the Save button.
Modify
You can modify the description of existing System/Assembly/Parts codes. To modify the description, click in the Description field and type the new description over the old one. Click Save to update the record.
Delete
You can delete a System/Assembly/Parts code provided it is not in use on any other tables in the system.
To delete a code that is not in use, click in the row of the code you want to delete to make it active. Click the Delete button (Red X). The selected row will turn red. Click Save to delete the code.
The ATA job 01-13-001 translates into the follow:
Work Accomplished Code (WAC) 01 = Repair
System Code 13 = Brake System
Assembly Code 001 = Front Disc Brakes
The job calls for the front disc brakes to be repaired. Specific parts can be cross-referenced to this job by placing this full code, 01-13-001, on the Part Number records in the Part Main Catalog. Here it serves as a cross reference number and can appear as a pop-up when a part is being charged to the job on a work order. This cross reference is valuable to users who track inventory based on the jobs performed.
In the M5 system, the Part Main Catalog is often referred to as the Master Part Catalog. It contains the master records for each part.
To create the association between System/Assembly/Part code with a part master, go to the Part Main Catalog screen and enter the System/Assembly /Part code on the Part Master record.
