Description:
We require the ability to attach documents to the PA Asset Record from M&U to support retention of historical documents affecting configuration, repairability, and disposal determinations. This capability already exists, but only from the PA module. The only way to add an attachment to an asset in M&U is to create a Work Order against said asset and add the attachment to the Work Order. The only way to view that attachment is either look in the Work Order. This process is not always warranted/practical, and the attachment is not readily available once the Work Order is closed.
Recommended:
Add an Attachments section within the Maintenance Asset Master edit screen that adds the attachment to the PA record while limiting the number of users within the PA module. Require the ability to access all attachments via the M&U MAM screen and via Maintenance Asset Inquiries.
Mission Critical:
Technical Order 35-1-24, GENERAL INSTR -- AIR FORCE ECONOMIC REPAIR/REPLACEMENT CRITERIA
Department of the Air Force Instruction 21-101, Maintenance Management
Workaround at this time is to maintain either paper or electronic copies of documents on individual computers.
Benefits:
This will improve auditability as users and equipment sustainment managers can better track, document, and access reasons for asset transfers, modifications, engineering determinations, turn-ins, and retirements. Improves auditability. Allows users to track and upload prior historical data for maintenance history.
Frequency: Weekly
Users:
Possibly 100s of times per month.
