Understanding Parent Information for Component Parts

You can review information for all parent assemblies or kits for which a maintenance part is a component. This feature is particularly useful if you need to locate an alternative source for a component part.

When you review parent information for component parts, the system displays each bill of material that includes the component part. The current parent information for a component part appears, but you can request that the system display historical or future parent information. You can also review:

• Effective dates of each bill of material.

• Inventory master information for each parent part.
