Describing Customizing

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to describe the general steps of customizing for support of flight operations

Customizing for Support of Flight Operations

The image shows a technical diagram with hierarchical categories related to defense and security, including organizational flexibility, materials management, and support for flight operations. The diagram also includes a section on Flight Order Specific Supporting Texts that lists various application titles and associated functionality. The second part of the image shows a SAP software interface for creating ground operations orders.

To facilitate the usage of the Support for (Flight) Operations functionality in non-aerial environments, it became possible to adjust the terminology used in the Flight Order and the Flight Plan applications to generic or order-type-specific one (where applicable).

This way, a customer-specific terminology can be used for ground operations (for example, dispatch order) or naval operations (for example, sailing order).

While the Flight Plan allows a single alternative value for texts in this application, such as column headers or buttons, in Flight Order it is possible to define terminology depending on Order Type, thereby allowing to differentiate between services and modes of operation.

Customizing for Support of Flight Operations

The following customizing settings are available to set up the support of flight operations:

Adjust terminology
Defense and Security → Support for Flight Operations -> Flight -> Adjust Terminology for the "Flight Order" and Adjust Terminology for the "Flight Plan"
Define user status (operational status / technical status / flight status)
Defense Forces and Public Security → Support for Flight Operations → Basic Settings → Define User Status.
Flight (Maintenance) order types
Defense Forces and Public Security → Support for Flight Operations → Flight → Determine Maintenance Order Type for Flights.
Assign Status Profile a to ordertype and plant (Flightstatus)
Defense Forces and Public Security → Support for Flight Operations → Flight → Determine Status Profile and Tax Key.
Assign Status Profile to Equipment type (operation / technical -)
Defense Forces and Public Security → Support for Flight Operations → Master Equipment → Assign Status Profile to Equipment Category.
Technical Status (Activation)
Defense Forces and Public Security → Support for Flight Operations → Technical Status: Activation by Notification Type and Activation by Order Type
Technical Status (Semantics)
Defense Forces and Public Security → Support for Flight Operations → Technical Status → Semantics.
Model Identification Code (MIC)
Defense Forces and Public Security → Support for Flight Operations → Master Equipment → Define Model Identification Code (MIC).
Assign Configuration Code to Model Identification Code
Defense Forces and Public Security → Support for Flight Operations → ConfigurationCode → Assign Configuration Code Class to Model Identification Code.
Intersession Events
Defense Forces and Public Security → Support for Flight Operations → Basic Settings → Activate Sending of ISE Events.
