Activity codes table

Activity codes allow you to specify which tasks can be performed on which parts. Once that has been defined, you can identify sub-activities, task instructions, required measurements, required skills, and vehicle standards for each activity (combination of task and part).

This table is set up so that all the components you have defined (system, assembly, and part) are automatically listed down the screen and all tasks you have defined are automatically listed across the screen. You must "turn on" each task that your company can perform for each component.

  1. At the EMMS main menu, select Administration | Tables --> | Administration Tables | Maintenance | VMRS Codes | Activity Codes. The Activity Codes display screen appears.
  2. If you want to activate a single task for a component, click in the task column for the component and type a Y.
  3. If you want to activate all tasks for a component, right-click on the component and select Select All. Note that this will not re-activate any previously inactivated tasks.
  4. To re-activate an inactivated task for a component, click in the task column for the component, type Y over top of the I, then click Enter enter.jpg.
  5. To re-activate all inactivated tasks for a component, right-click on the component and select Activate All.
  6. To deselect all tasks for a component, right-click on the component and select Deselect All. Note that this option will not work for selected tasks that have been used on a work order or work request; instead you will have to use the Inactivate option.
  7. To deactivate a single task for a component, click in the Task field for that component, type I (over top of the Y if present), then click Enter enter.jpg.
  8. To deactivate all active tasks for a component, right-click on the component and select Inactivate All. This sets all previously active task combinations on the line to Inactive; any tasks that had not been explicitly set to Y or I will not be changed.
  9. Click Enter enter.jpg to save the information.
  10. Click Exit exit.jpg to return to the menu.
