This chapter discusses setting up Oracle Complex Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (CMRO). It includes the following topics:
Before setting up CMRO, you must identify all your implementation users, and the access privileges they require. You can create additional implementation responsibilities if you want to restrict access.
You must use the System Administrator responsibility to create the required Oracle Applications user(s). Implementation users need access to one or more of the following responsibilities:
System Administrator
AHL Super User
Foundation Administrator
Support Administrator
Use the Users window to define Oracle Applications users. An Oracle Application user is uniquely identified by an application user name.
For detailed instructions on creating application users, refer to Oracle E-Business Suite System Administrator's Guide.
The following tables comprise a checklist of all the steps you need to follow to implement Oracle Complex Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul. They include setup steps for data that is shared with other Oracle Applications, but is required by Oracle CMRO.
You must set up other related Oracle applications prior to setting up CMRO.

Setting Up Oracle CMRO includes the following sections:
Oracle CMRO is integrated with other applications that are part of the Oracle eBusiness suite. This integration lends additional functionality to Oracle CMRO and enables it to fully support the maintenance, repair and overhaul needs of Operators, Third Party Maintainers, and Original Equipment Manufacturers. You must first set up an Organization and then install and implement the Oracle applications or components.
This section covers the following topics:
In general, an organization can be a company, department, division, cost center, or virtually any other organizational unit within a business. Organization Setup includes the following steps:
An Operating Unit is the organization unit, through which you create, process, report on, and secure financial applications data.
Develop an organization structure.
Define Set of Books.

Oracle Complex Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul integrates with Oracle’s Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) applications for supply chain management. Advanced Supply Chain Planning (ASCP), is used to schedule required materials from maintenance visits. Available to Promise (ATP), is used for material availability inquiries, as well as scheduling through ASCP. Demand Planning (DP), is used for creating material demand from three sources: global demand from forecasted requirements in Unit Maintenance Plan; scheduled demand from requirements scheduled to maintenance visits; and historical non-routine (and routine) demand from maintenance accomplished at specific faculties. Additionally, Oracle APS’s Inventory Optimization (IO) application is required for complete supply chain planning.
The sections below discuss the setups required:
For Advanced Supply Chain Planning
The APS applications employ a component architecture in which transaction processing and planning can occur in separate database instances. The correct instances to collect and query from must be defined. Collections from ASCP and DP, and ATP queries from the CMRO instance must be directed to the correct instance. For information, refer to Section 2 of the Oracle Advanced Planning Implementation and User's Guide.
The user must create an ASCP plan to process the collected material requirements. The applicable organizations, demand and supply schedules must be defined. Additionally, the Include Sales Orders check box must be selected in the Plan Options window. For information on defining plans, refer to Section 5 of the Oracle Advanced Planning Implementation and User's Guide.
Defining Plan Options - Plan Options window
For Demand Planning
Demand planning collections must be setup. For information on setting up data collections, refer to Section 2 of the Oracle Demand Planning Implementation and User Guide.
The correct application instance must be defined and the applicable organizations for that instance must be enabled. All organizations, which will have CMRO material requirements, must be checked.
Defining Application Instances - Application Instances window
Users must define a demand plan. To capture the data collected from CMRO, the plan must include the following input parameters:
Material Requirements – Scheduled Visits (collections for all requirements in a maintenance visit)
Material Requirements – Planned Maintenance (collections for all forecasted requirements in Unit Maintenance Plan)
Material Usage History – Unplanned Maintenance (collections for all non- routine requirements created during the production process, per organization)
Material Usage History – Planned Maintenance (an optional stream for all historical planned requirements, essentially collections for Unit Maintenance Plan's history)
For information on creating demand plans, refer to Section 7 of the Oracle Demand Planning Implementation and User Guide.
For Available to Promise
The source and destination instance must be defined. For information, refer to Section 2 of the Oracle Global Order Promising Implementation and User's Guide.
Before setting up Oracle Order Management (OM), you must ensure that:
Oracle Inventory setup is complete
Supply subinventories have been set up
Oracle Purchasing setup is complete
Setting up Oracle Order management includes:
Setting up processing constraints
Creating customers
From the Manufacturing and Distribution Manager responsibility, navigate to Order Management > Set Up > Rules > Security > Processing Constraints. The Processing Constraints window appears.
Query for the Order Sales Credit entity using the Find icon.
In the Constraints field, disable Create, Update, Delete, and Cancel Operations.
Click the Applicable To tab. Select the Authorized Responsibilities Radio Button and provide a list of Responsibilities that can perform the above listed actions.
Save your work.
Query for the Order Line entity.
Disable Create, Update, Delete, and Cancel operations for the same.
Click the Applicable To tab. Select the Authorized Responsibilities Radio Button and provide a list of Responsibilities that can perform the above listed actions. Save your work.
Note: Setting up Processing Constraints ensures that Order Management users are not able to update Sales Orders created within CMRO.
Navigate to Customers > Standard. The Find/Enter Customers window opens.
Define your customers.
Note: For outside order processing, you must set up customers in Order Management identical to the suppliers that you created in Oracle Purchasing. You must do this step for only those suppliers to whom you will be shipping out the parts for service. Oracle recommends that you create customer names to be exactly the same as your supplier name.

Oracle's CMRO application uses Projects as part of its maintenance planning and production flows. A project is created for each visit work package and project tasks are created for each visit work package. The project tasks are used in the maintenance planning flow to allow the required materials to be pegged to the corresponding visit tasks through Oracle's MRP application. A visit's corresponding project is used in the maintenance execution flow to collect costs associated to resource and material transactions performed in CMRO's Production module. Project Manufacturing's standard billing functionality can be used to generate the required reports for the corresponding visit work packages.
Setting up Oracle Projects includes the following steps:
Creating a Project Template
Assigning the Project Template name to an user profile
Change responsibility to Project Super User. From the Navigator, select Setup > Projects > Project Templates.
Click on New. Enter the required information.
Select the Template check box to classify the project as template.
Ensure that all Project Class Categories that are marked Required are included, else you cannot approve Project Templates. Save the Project Template.
Note: This template should be created for the applicable inventory master organization. All projects created for maintenance visits use this project template.
The Project Status changes to Submitted. For more information about the creation of project templates and the manner in which you use them to create projects and submit for approval, refer to the Oracle Projects User's Guide.
Change responsibility to System Administrator. From the Navigator, select Profile > System. The Find System profile Values window appears.

Oracle CMRO uses the setup from Route Management and the system profile options in Oracle Quality, to enable maintenance organizations to capture quality elements for operations, jobs, deferrals, scrap management, and capturing counter value snapshots. This gives maintenance facility the flexible integration required to maintain reliable products.
Oracle CMRO provides seeded plan templates for routes, operations, job deferrals, MRB dispositions and counter reading capturing. These templates can either be used as-is or adjusted with additional quality elements, except the counter reading template which is used by CMRO in the background and cannot be changed.
Setting up Oracle Quality includes:
Setting up route and operation quality plans.
Setting up Job Deferral, MRB Disposition Quality, Non-Routine Job Inspection and Non-Routine Operation Inspection Plans.
Setting up Counter Readings Quality Plans.
You can create the different Inspection Types for route and/or operation quality recording. The inspection types are maintained in a seeded collection element called Inspection Type. Creating collection elements, collection element types and collection plan types have no specific CMRO set up requirements.
Change responsibility to Manufacturing and Distribution Manager. From the Navigator, select Quality > Setup > Collection Elements. From the organization list, select the Organization that you want to set-up the quality plan for. The Collection Elements window appears.
Query for or find the Collection Element ‘Inspection Type'.
Click the Values button.
Define Inspection Types.
Collection Elements Window
Note: The defined inspection types are the values that appear in the list of values for the quality inspection type attribute in routes and operations.
CMRO provides plan templates with seeded quality elements. Oracle recommends that you use these templates and adjust them for the specific needs rather than creating a plan from scratch, because the template contains collection elements that are automatically populated by CMRO when quality is recorded in production. Should these elements be missing, the procedure would still work, but these attributes would not be recorded. The background attributes contain information about the job, maintenance requirement, item and item instance etc., which allow for a convenient quality reporting and analysis. The templates also contain seeded displayed items that are either mandatory or optional. Those properties can be changed. This approach enables the user to take full advantage of CMRO's out-of-the-box quality functionality together with the flexibility to create completely customized quality plans. Creating and using plan types has no specific CMRO set up requirements.
Navigate to Quality > Setup > Collection Plans. The Collection Plans window opens.
Define the collection plan. Select the plan type.
Click the Copy Elements button. The Copy From Plan window appears.
Select the Plan template that you want to copy from. For CMRO, the options are:
Advanced Service Online Operation Completion Plan
Advanced Service Online Route Completion Plan
Collection Plans Window
Click the Transactions button. The Collection Transaction window appears.
Select the seeded transaction for either route or operation. The options for CMRO are:
Maintenance Route Completion (Advanced Service Online)
Maintenance Operation Completion (Advanced Service Online)
Define the trigger. Select Inspection Type from the Trigger name list of values. The trigger value is selected from the set-up in the Inspection Type collection element.
Save your work.
Collection Transactions Window
Note: The Inspection Types created can be associated with a route or operation in route management. When the route and/or operation is going to be instantiated in production the user will have the derived quality plan available for collecting the quality results.
An Inspection Type for Deferral, MRB, Non-routine job and Non-routine operation is defined in a system profile option. The Inspection Type will derive the existing plan in the organization where a job is deferred in, an mrb disposition is initiated and/or a non-routine job/operation is created. You can create the different inspection types for job deferral, mrb disposition, and non-routine quality recording.
Navigate to the Collection Elements window. Query for the Collection Element ‘Inspection Type'.
Click the Values button. Define Inspection Types for Job Deferral, MRB Disposition, and Non-Routine quality recording.
Note: The defined inspection types appear in the list of values for the system profile option for job deferral and mrb disposition.
Navigate to the Collection Plans window.
Define collection plans for Job deferral, MRB disposition and Non-Routine job/operation using the following plan templates:
Advanced Service Online MRB Disposition Plan
Advanced Service Online Route Completion Plan
Advanced Service Online Operation Completion Plan
Advanced Service Online Job Deferral Plan
Add or change quality elements if necessary.
Click the Transactions button. Select the following seeded transaction descriptions for job deferral, mrb disposition and non-routine job/operation:
Maintenance Job Deferral (Advanced Service Online)
MRB Disposition (Advanced Service Online)
Maintenance Route Completion (Advanced Service Online)
Maintenance Operation Completion (Advanced Service Online)
Define the trigger. Select Inspection Type from the Trigger name list of values. The trigger value is selected from the set-up in the Inspection Type collection element.
Save your work.
Set up the following System Profile Options for Job Deferral, MRB disposition and Non-Routine job/operation quality definition:
AHL: Job Deferral Inspection Type
AHL: MRB Disposition Inspection Type
AHL: Non-routine Job Inspection Type
AHL: Non-routine Operation Inspection Type
Whenever a maintenance requirement is completed in production, CMRO stores the current counter values of the maintained item instance in a Counter Reading Quality Plan. The plan will adjust itself based on the counters defined on the item instance. This procedure is completely transparent to the end user. The user must create a Counter Reading Quality Plan in quality and set up the system profile option to enable counter reading capturing.
The Counter Readings Quality Plan is created using the template and cannot be adjusted, since the end-user has no influence over the recording of the counter values.
Note: You need to create only one Counter Reading plan because the same is used across all organizations.
Navigate to the Collection Plans window. Define the collection plan.
Select the plan type from the Plan Type list of values.
Click the Copy Elements button. Select the following plan template: Advanced Service Online Counter Readings Plan
Note: Do not adjust collection elements.
Do not define any Transactions.
For the Counter Reading Quality definition, set up System Profile Option -AHL: Counter Reading Plan.

Setting up the profile option AHL: Application Usage Mode determines the user responsibility. Users can view only the routes, maintenance requirements, or unit effectivities associated with the selected application usage mode. Users can also define routes having the same number or maintenance requirements having the same title across different application usage modes.
You can set up an Approval Workflow to approve maintenance programs, activities and routes. You can use the built-in Approval Workflow or you can create your own workflow, define a specific approval rule and create a list of approvers for each CMRO object. After setting up profile options, if you do not specify an approval rule, the application uses the default approval rule.
CMRO Approval Workflow setup includes:
Setting up Profile Options
Creating Approval Users and Roles
By default, maintenance programs, activities and routes are automatically approved at the time of creation when you click the Approved button. To set up an approval process, you must set up the system profile options as indicated in the table below.
Profile | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
AHL: Enable approval workflow for Routes | Yes | This enables the approval workflow for the routes |
AHL: Enable approval workflow for Maintenance Requirement | Yes | This enables the approval workflow for maintenance programs and activities |
AHL: Workflow Loop Counter | Requires a numeric value that defines how many times the notification will be re-sent if the user does not respond | - |
AHL: Workflow Timeout Minutes | Requires a numeric value that defines the period after which a workflow times out when its progress is halted. | - |
To activate the enabled workflow, you must set up employees in Oracle Human Resources, create application users and define approval roles for these employees, and create approval rules for the different CMRO objects.
Note: The following set up steps are depending on the use of the seeded approval workflow. If you decide to create your own workflow you will have to adjust these steps to the functionality of this workflow.
All approval users need to be defined as employees in Oracle Human Resources.
Note: If you want to notify the approval user via e-mail, then in addition to the application work list notification, you must also set up the e-mail address for the employee in the Office Details window.
For more information on how to set up employees, refer to the Oracle Human Resources Implementation guide.
Every approval employee needs to have an Oracle Application login. When defining the application user you have to associate the approval employee, set up earlier in HR, to that application user.
Associating the approval employees to a role is an optional step. If you have set up the employees in Oracle HR and created application users for them, you can associate the employee directly with an approval rule. You can set up the following two types of approval roles:
CMRO provides a seeded default approval rule that is used when no object specific approval rule is set up. The default approval rule is best used, when the same people in the same hierarchy will approve every CMRO object. In this case you only have to set up one rule with one approval sequence. The default approval rule has also one approval hierarchy with a seeded role defined.
Login to the forms environment of Oracle Applications. Select the CRM Resource Manager responsibility.
Navigate to Setup > Role Types.
Query for JTF_RS_ROLE_TYPE.
Create a role type code for the default approval role.
Application Object Library Window - Role Type Lookups
Navigate to Setup > Roles.
Create a role with the code AHL_DEFAULT_APPROVER.
Note: The code must be defined as described above otherwise the default rule will not recognize this role. The role name can be user defined.
Associate the default approval role type code to this role.
Roles Window
Create additional roles if you need more than one level of approvals. The role codes can be user defined for every additional role used for the default approval rule.
Note: For CMRO approval, only one user can be associated with a role, otherwise the approval workflow will fail. Therefore, you must create as many roles as you have approvers. The sequence of notification will be defined in the approval rule setup.
Perform the following set up steps if you have specific approval rules for the different CMRO objects:
Login to the forms environment of Oracle Applications. From the Navigator, select CRM Resource Manager.
Navigate to Setup > Role Types.
Query for JTF_RS_ROLE_TYPE.
Create role type code(s) for the General Approval Role(s).
Application object Library Window
Note: You can create multiple role type codes for grouping the roles together but one is minimum.
Navigate to Setup > Roles. Create a role for every possible approver.
Associate the appropriate approval role type code to the roles.
Roles Window
After you have created the employees and the roles, you must map the two together.
Note: As previously mentioned, only one employee can be assigned as a workflow approver. However, the same employee can be the designated approver for multiple roles.
From the CRM Resource Manager responsibility, navigate to Maintain Resources > Import Resources.
Select the approval employee. Click the Search button.
Click Create Resource. Select the appropriate role.
Click OK. Click Save Resource.
Selection Criterion Window
If you want to associate the same employee with an additional role click Details. Add Roles.
Repeat steps 1 through 5 for every approval employee.
As mentioned earlier you can either use the seeded default approval rule or specify an object specific approval rule for the different CMRO objects. In the approval details you can either pick a role that you have set up, or a user that has been created as an employee in HR, and is associated with an application login. The sequence in the approval details defines the approval hierarchy.
Login to the jtf environment of CMRO.
Click on the Administration link. Click the Go button.
Click on the link 'Default AHL Rule'.
Add any additional roles or users to the approval details in the sequence you want your objects to be approved.
Note: The first role is seeded. You can either change the hierarchy or delete the seeded role if necessary.
Update Approval Rule Page
Click Apply.
Note: Do not add any values to the operating unit attribute. Custom values are currently not supported by Complex Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul and would cause the workflow to fail. Also, you cannot change the status of the default rule once it is set to Obsolete.
To define approval rules with specific approval hierarchy:
Login to the jtf environment of CMRO.
Click on the Administration link.
Click the Create button.
Enter the Approval Rule Name.
Select Application Usage as Complex Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul.
Select the required value from the Approval Rule For list box.
Create Approval Rule Page
Do not add any values to the operating unit attribute. Click Apply.
Add roles or users to the approval details in the sequence in which you want your objects to be approved.
Select Active from the Status list of values.
Edit Rule - Update Approval Rule Page
Click Apply.
The final step in the approval workflow set up is to map the object with a workflow. As previously mentioned, Oracle recommends that you use seeded workflow that is delivered with CMRO. If you call a customized workflow, instead of CMRO Deferral workflow, it complicates the workflow as CMRO Deferral workflow might be internally performing several processes or integration required for the standard functionality. If you try to replace this workflow with a customized one, the deferral functionality gets affected.
Login to the jtf environment of CMRO.
Click on the Administration link.
Click the Workflow tab.
If you want to use the same workflow for all of your objects, leave the object field empty, otherwise choose the object, which you want to add from the drop-down list.
Define the desired workflow in the Process Name field. The CMRO default workflow is called ASO Generic Approval Process.
Workflow Process Mapping Page
Select Complex Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul from the Application Usage drop-down list box.
Select Yes or No from the Active list box.
Click Apply.
When a Maintenance Program, Activity or Route is sent for approval the user defined in the approval role is notified by e-mail, if it has been setup at employee creation, and/or with an entrance in the work list in Oracle Applications. From the notification, the user can navigate to the notification details and approve the program, activity or route. The workflow moves sequentially through all of the roles defined in the approval rules details until the last user has sent his approval. At this point the status of the approved object will be changed from 'Approval Pending' to 'Complete'.

The MEL and CDL functionality identifies equipment, as opposed to structural items, that can be inoperative or missing on aircraft—but still enable the aircraft to maintain airworthiness. This includes items such as radios, seats, lights, air conditioning, heaters, and indicators—but not structural items such as engines or controls. These items are called provisos, and under certain conditions, can be inoperative. Limitations may be required as how the aircraft is operated regarding ice conditions, night flights, or altitude limits. MEL addresses defective equipment, and CDL addresses missing parts in an aircraft.
The MEL is based on the Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) which is a list of equipment that the National Airworthiness Authority (such as the FAA or CASA) has determined that may be inoperable under certain operation conditions, but still provides an acceptable level of safety. The MMEL contains the conditions, limitations, and procedures required for operating the aircraft with these items inoperable.
The CDL is developed by the aircraft manufacturer, and identifies secondary airframe and engine parts on an aircraft that may, under certain conditions, be missing from the aircraft and still allows the aircraft to maintain its airworthiness with certain limitations. The aircraft manufacturer submits the CDL to the Aircraft Certification Office for approval.
MEL/CDL instructions can be added to the CMRO planning process to enable you to defer non-routine maintenance. Maintenance and Operation (M and O) procedures are created to ensure that the correct steps and restrictions are followed when a requirement is deferred.
Important: MELs are maintained at the unit configuration level.
The following diagram outlines the setup required to use the MEL and CDL feature:
MEL/CDL Setup Process
To set up a MEL/CDL, follow these prerequisite steps:
Define the profile option of AHL:Service Request Type. This profile is used to create the Maintenance and Operation (M and O) procedures.
Define the required ATA codes for relevant configuration positions. These lookups can be found in the Application Object Library for type AHL_ATA_CODE.
Define applicable ATA codes for each position when creating a master configuration.
Navigate to M and O Procedures. These procedures contain the non-routine maintenance requirements to be deferred per the MEL/CDL guidelines affecting the production process.
In case of an aircraft accident, a user with super user security can quarantine a unit configuration. This quarantine enables the freezing of the unit configuration and will not allow changes to the made to the configuration which could impact the investigation.
There are some prerequisites that need to exist before this feature can be used:
The CMRO system administrator edits the configuration access control workflow using the Approvals page.
The CMRO system administrator creates a super user role to be used for configuration access control.
The system administrator assigns the AHL_UC_QUARANTINE_ROLE to the appropriate super user.
The CMRO system administrator creates the super user role using the User Maintenance page.

This diagram illustrates the process flow for the activation and deactivation steps for quarantining a unit configuration:
Once the quarantine request has been approved, the status changes to Quarantine.
The following lists the types of transactions that are allowed when a unit configuration has been quarantined:
Unit Maintenance Visit Association
Issue material transaction from production
Return material transaction from production
Important: All other transactions are denied while the unit configuration is quarantined.
Once the super user has deactivated the quarantine for the unit configuration, all restrictions are removed and all transactions are allowed. The status of the unit configuration returns to the status prior to the quarantine.

The Long Term Planning module is used by the maintenance planner to schedule maintenance requirements in maintenance visits, based on the optimal use of resources and facility capabilities and capacities, and to schedule required materials.
Maintenance personnel can:
Assess Maintenance Workload Capacity by analysis of available labor by skill, level and certification, available tools, materials, and location capabilities balanced against known workloads.
Create a Visit in order to group events together for long and short term capacity planning, and to facilitate scheduling to a maintenance base.
Select serialized items and reserve them for a specific task in a visit.
Define a Visit's Resource Requirements to enable accurate scheduling and capacity planning.
Analyze capacity versus work load requirements.
Run simulations in order to evaluate different scheduling scenarios before implementing actual plan changes.
Long Term Planning maximizes maintenance scheduling by balancing maintenance requirements with available maintenance capacity. The maintenance planner is able to do this by balancing forecasted maintenance requirement information from Unit Maintenance Plan against projected maintenance capacity.
By using serial number reservations, the maintenance planner can provide a global view of material requirements that identifies material availability at the required location and date for items associated on counter values. This reduces aircraft down times and increasing the life expectancy of subcomponents. Serial number reservations are set up in Oracle Inventory.

In the airline industry defective parts are often removed, and put in an unserviceable inventory location, before the work order is created. Inventory service orders enable you to create orders for items directly from an inventory location, without creating a visit and work order. This process is automated using default data. The features of inventory service orders for outside processing are:
Automatic service order creation with shipping information for selected items
Vendor and service sourcing rules are defined based on the item and item location
Relationship between the vendor information and the customer information is defined
Both serialized and non-serialized items in inventory can be selected for the creation of a service
Create and maintain attachments
Ability to convert service order into an exchange order
This diagram illustrates the setup steps and process flow for the Inventory Service Order Outside Processing feature:
These are the prerequisites required in order to use the Inventory service order outside processing functionality:
Set up profile options to create default information to automate the creation of service orders.
Define outside processing service (OSP) vendors.
Define part, service and vendor relationships.
Define vendors and customer relationships.
Define customer shipping defaults.
The setup profiles include:
Profile | Description |
