AMOS Configuration
2.1.1.1 Getting Started
There are a few basics that you should know before you can start working
with AMOS:
The log-in screen is the "doorway" to AMOS programs. You have to enter
your personal user ID and password to gain access to the programs.
The UI scaling feature and the new icon set is active per default. If you
want to change your Scaling of AMOS you can do so in the configuration
settings. AMOS > Configuration > UI Scaling.
The User Configured Menu can be customised for each user. This menu
will appear when accessing AMOS and it displays shortcuts to programs
that you most frequently use.
Customize a Main Tool Bar: The Main Toolbar across the top of AMOS
can be configured individually for each user. Each icon in the Main Toolbar
represents a program.
Widgets: With the Widgets feature it's possible to display clock, mini
report, sticky notes, etc. on the starting screen.
Multiple Window Mode: It is possible to open a program multiple times
within AMOS without starting up a new connection and using your
credentials multiple times.
Process descriptions
Opens the AMOS online help. Path: Help/Help Topics
AMOS user and from every AMOS program. The purpose of the
program is to collect and track different issues within AMOS, for example:
Aircraft queries: handle the different problems of the mechanics
Workorder queries: handle questions regarding workorders
Order complaints: handle issues or questions with an order
Shipment complaints: handle issues with internal and external
shipments
Parts compliants: handle issues with a rotable part.
Invoice complaints: handle issues with an invoice.
received with the icon at the bottom right and message that pops
up briefly and disappears. After reading your mail, you can store it in a
text file, forward it to other users or delete it.
It serves as a Task scheduler, for example if you want to force a reader
to perform an action such as acknowledging a publication from
Publication Management (APN 565)

Address Administration (APN 53)
2.2.1.1 Overview:
All addresses must be defined in Address Administration before they
can be used in any other AMOS program.
Properties can be defined to use the addresses in other AMOS
programs, for example the address code must be defined as a Station
& a Store if the address is to then be further defined in the program
Store Management APN 2409.
The standard practice for external addresses is to use the Cage Code
as the AMOS Address Code.
Financial Data has to be defined to use financial programs in AMOS.
For example, account numbers for Billing and Invoice Checking.
Especially Creditor & Debitor Account No.
Vendor Approval has to be defined to be able to use specific vendors
in AMOS depending on the relevant parameter setting. A workflow is
available to control the creation of a new Addres/Vendor code in AMOS
or when transferred from your ERP system -- Workflow ID 161 - New
Address Stored.
Warranties can be defined to find relevant information regarding repair
and warranty orders in AMOS.
The tabsheet Certificates records the Approval Nb. of the Address
(Supplier/Vendor/Maintenance Provider). The Certificate = IA-Internal
Approval, which contains the Expiry Date, can be used as a control to
only enable to issue Orders to Vendors with this Certificate (Parameter
1157). Also, there is a report 'Address Certificate Expiry Report'.
Workflows regarding the approval procedures have an effect on the
Certificates tab and they can be set in Workflow Administration APN
612. For a new address a quality approval is required and usually a
supplier audit / evaluation process is considered essential.
Turn Around Time can be set for the specific parts supplied by this
address.
Supplier Rating helps the user to indicate how reliable a supplier is.

2.3.6.1 Overview
Approval Control allows to set condition(s) to allow an approval request on
documents. The involved APN's are:
Approval Control Configuration (APN 2111) - configure the conditions under
which an approval request will be needed and the relevant responsible to
approve.
Approval Control Board (APN 2110) - view/monitor/act on each specific
approval request
Configure APN 2111 with the necessary rules, conditions and responsible to
approve
Ensure the person to approve has the proper licenses to respond to approval
requests
2.3.6.2 Exercise
The trainer will show how to set Approval Control Configuration (APN 2111) in
order to allow an approval request for specific documents.
Ensure parameter 1667 is set to Y in APN 1442.
In Approval Control Configuration (APN 2111), build a rule to allow approval
request for documents having:
SHOP & LINE (i.e. “A”) or LINE document (i.e. “L”) in APN 63 main tab -->
Shop/Line doc field
AND
MANDATORY (i.e. "MAN") as compliance type in APN 63 main tab The result
should be the following:
In the tab "Who should approve?" define "Another User" as responsible. This
will give the chance to the user to define manually who should approve.
The trainees will need to close and re-open APN 63, if not already done, to
see the effect of setting parameter 1667 to Y.
In the following exercise the trainees will request an approval and the trainer
will then show how this is approved from APN 2110.
NOTE: To see the publication of your selected author, you need to set a
revision date in Publication Management (APN 565)- tab Publication Data.
In APN 53, ensure that address "81205" has property PA with value
"81205".
In APN 53, add an email address for 81205 in Com. Data Tab, "Mail:"
field.
Save on the desktop the csv file stored in webdrive, "Publications" folder
Go to APN 683, Tab CMM File, load the file and process.
NOTE: the "Author" field is optional as it is for filtering the results of the file
processing.
In "Contact Form" tab, the user can prepare an email. Clicking on "Send"
in the "CMM file" pane, would send emails to the publication authors for
which the "Select" tickbox has been selected in the CMM tab
NOTE: For some OEM documents, a classification and an effectivity type can
be defined.
The classification, is for information only and will not restrict the possibility to
map an OEM document to the relevant A/C tail sign.
The effectivity type, is used to define how the imported document was defined
by the OEM and will be used by AMOS whenever it has to choose the
applicable document to be printed when they are linked to a TC or WO.

In this way we have included the IGV SB in its own signoff tree, since this is the
document that will be eventually performed without relying on any other documents.
NOTE: A document in APN 63, must have a defined signoff-tree in order to be assigned to an
A/C or to a component.
This is done by either ticking the mentioned box (for documents that will be performed)
or by listing all the required documents in the Signoff-tree table or both, as applicable,
depending on the tree structure.
As the IGV SB is the Document that will be physically carried out, we will now define
the Work Template information of this Document, and assign it to the relevant
Component.
Make sure the IGV-3886188-01 SB is loaded

Later in this exercise we will create a Revision of the Document issued by Honeywell
(IGV-3886188- 01).
Before we revise the Document, we will "perform" it on the applicable Component.
This will allow you to see the full revision process, as well as the flow of an Aircraft or
Component "On-Wing" Document through AMOS.
Please note that this is the shortened process flow, and not the full "planning" flow
which would normally be performed.

2.4.3.8 Approval Control for Documents and Publications (APN's 2110, 2111)
Approval Control allows to set condition(s) to allow an approval request on
documents. The involved APN's are:
Approval Control Configuration (APN 2111) - configure the conditions under which an
approval request will be needed and the relevant responsible to approve.
Approval Control Board (APN 2110) - view/monitor/act on each specific approval
request
NOTE: Preconditions to use approval control for publications and documents are:
Activate the related parameter(s) (APN 1442):
-Parameter 1666 for View/Edit Modifications (APN 63)
-Parameter 1667 for Publication Management (APN 565)
-Parameter 1668 for Engineering Orders (APN 852)
Setting the related parameter to Y, will enable a tab (at the top of the screen) and a
button (at the bottom of the screen) both called "Approval" in the corresponding APN.
Configure APN 2111 with the necessary rules, conditions and responsible to approve
Ensure the person to approve has the proper licenses to respond to approval requests
NOTE: When releasing a document to Modification Control from either APN 565 or
APN 852, AMOS will check if a rule exists in APN 2111 and will not allow to proceed
with the release of the document to APN 63 unless the full process (approval request
+ approval confirmation) is accomplished.
- SHOP & LINE (i.e. “A”) or LINE document (i.e. “L”) in APN 63 main tab -->
Shop/Line doc field
AND
- MANDATORY (i.e. "MAN") as compliance type in APN 63 main tab The result
should be the following:
- In the tab "Who should approve?" define "Another User" as responsible. This
will give the chance to the user to define manually who should approve.
- The trainees will need to close and re-open APN 63, if not already done, to see
the effect of setting parameter 1666 to Y.
- In the following exercise the trainees will request an approval and the trainer
will then show how this is approved from APN 2110.
The purpose of this exercise is for you to further understand the definition of Sign-off
Trees.

QUESTIONS:
Which of the three documents is displayed in Maintenance Forecast (APN 1844)?
Why? What is the status of the two AD's? Why is it automatically set?
What if the AD issued by DGAC contained additional requirements, i.e. the SB is not
enough to comply with it?
When dealing with components documents, it is very important that parameter 1442
is set properly according to the company needs.
Example: An AD has only a component SB in the signoff tree. Should the AD status
be changed if a post-SB component is removed and pre-SB component installed?
The parameter also ensures, if set to Y, that rotable driven dependencies work on a
component- subcomponent signoff tree (example ENGINE SB linked to a VBV
ACTUATOR SB) as they work for an A/C - Component signoff tree.

We will now find the Rotable Replacement Event, and issue the Workorder required to
remove the affected Component.
Please note that this is the shortened process flow, and not the full "planning" flow
which would normally be performed.
With the assistance of your Trainer, find your Aircraft in the program
Maintenance Forecast (APN 1844). Please select it with a double click.
Select Event Type XOR (this setting allows you to view one event type

The same information can be seen in the main forecast view applying
different filter settings to see both replacement events and documents. This
is done as follows:
The Workorder number will now appear in the W/O-Flags column of your
Replacement Event.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You have issued the Workorder for the Replacement Event for part number:
201371268-01. AMOS has automatically added the same part number as a Part
Request in the Planning View of the Workorder. AMOS has assumed that this is the
scenario:
Remove part number A, replace with part number A However, you may have other
scenario's:
Scenario 1:
Remove part number A, replace with part number A, but there are additional parts
required in order to perform the work (tools etc)
You must enter some additional information against part number A in Part
Administration (APN 59). BEFORE you assign the Document to the Part Number.
In the Replacement Tab, define a new Work Template, and enter the additional parts
that are required (part request). When the document is then assigned to the part
number, AMOS will use this Work Template. It will also automatically add part number
A to the part request.
Scenario 2:
Remove part number A, replace with part number B
Once again, you must enter some additional information against part number A in
Part Administration (APN 59). BEFORE you assign the Document to the Part Number.
Part number B must be defined as a one-way alternate of part number A
In the Replacement Tab, define a new Work Template, and enter part number B as
the required part (part request). When the document is then assigned to the part
number, AMOS will use this Work Template. You can of course, also add any
additional parts that are required (tools).

Basic Weight and Fleet Op. CG thus showing the limits with reference to
operational data.
To show the behavior of the tickbox you have to enter some information in
APN 285 for the fleet code A320-01.
WORKFLOW SETUP
For trainer only: activate the rule "Exceeding Limits Template Rule" on
workflow 20 (APN 612) in order to show how people can be informed
when limits are exceeded.
Ensure that the trainer user sign is in the recipients list and that an AMOS
mail is sent.
Lateral CG Note:
Some helicopters (depending on the type and the operations), might require a
calculation of the lateral CoG.
When creating a new fleet Fleet Code in the WB-Fleet tab, after saving you can select
the tickbox "Lateral CG Relevant".
This option will enable additional fields that relate to the lateral CG calculation.
MAC relevant tickbox
Deselecting the "MAC relevant" tickbox will change the amount and type of available
fields to allow a different definition of the needed values whenever the MAC is not
relevant (e.g. Helicopters).
Aircraft AAA has been weighed as part of a regular check. It is your task to enter the

as other weight information) of your Aircraft.
NOTE: weight and balance entries can be edited or deleted with the
available buttons Save Weighing and Delete only if a user is licensed to
do so.
When entering an older weighing AMOS will use the date & time of the
weighing and re-sequence the entries - and if necessary re-calculate the
values automatically.
INFO: Parameter 1239's integer value is used to define the number of digits
displayed after the point for all the Weight & Balance values. The number of

This does not happen if the CG is out of limits.
ENGINEERING ORDERS
Overview
Engineering Ordersis mainly used for third party maintenance, where labour and
material costs can be set up and managed. You can use it to create hierarchical
structures where you can collect different
engineering orders in an Engineering Order Cover. This is useful when you have
several Service
Bulletins(SBs) affecting different areas of the aircraft airframe or component
modifications.
Note:The program is only used for administrative purposes and all other tasks are
managed in the
Modification Control programs.

In APN 2111, build a rule for EOD's that are not mandatory and where the total
implementation cost is higher than 10'000.
In the tab "Who Should approve?" add "Another User" as option. This will leave the
choice to the user releasing the EOD.
2.5.6.1 Exercise:
Close APN 852 and reopen it to make sure the approval control is activated.
BACKGROUND
During landing, the APU fuel drain mast installed on the lower fuselage
of the 32S family, could be damaged by debris kicked up by the main
wheel tyres.
The aircraft manufacturer, released an optional modification to replace the
APU drain mast with an improved material. This document affects all 32S
manufactured more than 4 years ago.
Engineering decided to introduce this modification and prepared an EOD for
the fleet operated by SWS, with the relevant cost information.
For your reference, this is the sequence of steps that should be followed:
> Create EOD-32S-28-0002-R00
(NOTE: If you are already familiar with APN 565, you can start entering
the OEM document (e.g. SB A320-28-0002) In Publication Management
and create the EOD directly from the publication "Document Assessment"
tab pressing the Assess in Eng. Orders button.)
> Subject: "Exchange of APU drain mast"; ATA 49-17
> Ensure the compliance is not Mandatory
> Add an effectivity and activate it (if not added, this must be done in APN
63 after the release)
> Add a time requirement (within 1 year), and activate it (if not added,
this must be done in APN 63 after the release)
> Adda worktemplate, and activate it (if not added, this must be done in
APN 63 after the release)
> Add Cost Info (currency and costs). Feel free to enter the values that are
more realistic for you, but ensure the total cost in the Business Case tab
is higher than 10'000.
> Definethe Sign-off tree for the document (in this example, the
EOD is the only productive document)
Due to the setup done on the rule, a user has to be specified in the
field "A peer user has to be specified".

With the next exercise you will learn how to create a Life Limit Requirement with
Pro-Rata calculation.
Scenario:
In this exercise we will use the PW Engine (PN: PW1130GA-JM) as it already
has an inherited Rating "A" from the Aircraft it is installed on.
We will define the Life Limit on the level of the engine and not the sub-parts with
the following intervals:
30'000 FC on Rating A (20K)
25'000 FC on Rating B (25K)
20'000 FC on Rating C (28K)
In addition to the three Rating intervals a Fallback interval as a safety net
is required. Usually the shortest interval is used for the safety net scenario.

Overview
In Rotables Administration, all important data concerning rotables are
stored. These data keep track of the hours and cycles of the rotables in your
company.
Sometimes, it is necessary to enter or update rotables data, as in the following
situations:
New AMOS customers who have to make their company's rotables,
including the ones installed on the aircraft, known to AMOS, if this is
not done in Data Transfer.
A new aircraft arrives in your company and the rotables installed on
this aircraft have to be made known to AMOS, if this is not done in
Data Transfer.
Scenario:
You are informed via Technical Assistant that there was a mistake during
receiving of P/N 9024-15704-2 S/N 26A45-01. The inspection of the linked
certificate shows that the TSN value of the component was entered incorrect.
You have to adjust the value from 35'200 Flight Hours to 38'200 Flight Hours.
The component is installed in an Aircraft.

Configurations can be small and easy (e.g. slide assembly with cylinder) or very
complex (e.g. engine and, ultimately, the aircraft itself).
In the following exercise you will learn to build a configuration from the smallest
assembly up to the aircraft configuration.
We will use a simplified structures for training purposes.
The chart that follows, introduces the first part of the exercise with the exercise
flow, a graphical representation of it and the AMOS result.

We will now proceed creating the two positions where the cartridges are
located.
These positions are called "functional positions" in AMOS, and they are typically
named after
OEM-provided codes (e.g. FIN codes for Airbus). For this training we will use a
terminology that helps understanding.
FP Type: Hardware
Code: CARTR_TOP
Click on New
We will now add the second FP, for the second cartridge.
We now have one configuration, applicable to one Fire Extinguisher PN, with
two FP's, one for each cartridge.
We will now learn how can we use a certain configuration for more parts.
Another fire extinguisher P/N 472088-1 uses exactly the same configuration:
Partnumber 472088-1
Click on Finish
NOTE: If the affected P/N's have a similar root or structure, another option would be
to revise the existing effectivity row, using "wildcards" to include both P/N's in one row.
For the second fire bottle, we can reuse the same functional positions. As we left the
FP effectivity very general, we do not need to add P/N 472088-1 to them. If a FP
applies only to specific main assemblies, then its effectivity would have to be defined
accordingly to precisely set the higher assy part numbers the FP is applicable to.
We have now a configuration that applies to two main PN's.
Every effectivity and P/N list definition needs an activation. This is a lot of manual
work that can be left at the end of the configuration, as activating the configuration will
automatically activate everything underneath:
Review the resulting tree, expanding all the configuration levels (hint: use the +/-
button at the bottom-right corner of the panel).
Partnumber: 3800708-1

We will now define the functional positions, and again for the goal of the exercise, we
will use terminology that helps understanding, rather than OEM codes.
FP Type: Hardware
Code: TURBINEDISK
We do not need to define a part number for the effectivity if the FP is always applicable
in the configuration.
Repeat the steps to create the functional position, to add the following ones, with the
relevant allowed P/N

(this is a Line including alternates
Replaceable Unit FP!)
THERMOCOUPLE RH thermocouple FP
(this is a Line 4950597-1

This last P/N, is exactly the one we built a configuration for, in the first exercise. As a
final step for this exercise, we will activate and review the APU configuration.
Click on:
To see this and other available filters/grouping settings, click on the "funnel" icon on
the top right of the Configuration section.
Select the uppermost configuration level, and create three HARDWARE FP's, using
the same process used for the assembly, with the following details.

See Overview
AMOS will show you what will happen if you proceed with the assignment:
Rotables already on the aircraft on uncontrolled positions will be moved to a
controlled position (namely functional position) if:
the functional position is available (not yet allocated) AND the FP
name is the same as the old position OR the PN accepted on that FP
is matching.

In this exercise we will create a very basic Work Template with 2 Work Steps.
This Work Template will be used in a workorder later during this training. We will then
revise one of the Work Steps in the Work Template and explain how it affects the
workorder.
Open program Work Template Manager (APN1848).

To be able to find our Work Template make sure that within the Search Section the
Type TW (Standalone Work Template) is set:
Select: WT02
The "Wizard - Create WO" opens - and the WO Type Scheduled is pre-
selected.
When using a Workorder Template the WO you are creating with will behave as any
other Workorder. This means that the setup for WO, the rules of Form Configuration
(APN 1444) and of course all the Workflows will be triggered, which are setup for
Workorders. The Workflow 32 "Zero-Stock for Part Number entered in Workorder" is
triggered every time there is a Part Request added to a Workorder & there is no
stock of the requested part.
Due to our setup the part request added to the Work Template earlier triggers the
Workorder Module to create a Pickslip.
AMOS will automatically show a popup to create a Pickslilp for the part request of
the WO we just created.
Create Pickslip for W/O - Dialogue box will open to send a pickslip to the
store:
Now that the Workorder is created, you will see an next to the Workorder
number in the header, which is indicating that it is linked to an Active Template from
the Work Template Manager.
There is also a line in the header that shows which Work Template was used to
create this Workorder
In the filter section of the Work Template Manager there is too many filter settings to
display all of them.
You will notify that some of the sections have a small arrow pointing to the right in
front.
To get a result in the search you have to - at least - open one of those collapse filter
settings. If you closed the Work Template Manager:
Select: WT02
Select Description
In the pop up select your entry to review in the lower part the different
versions of the Work Template.
Review the pop up and select the line with the word "plannable" to compare
the 2 versions.
Review the R
Icon in front of
the Workorder
number:
This indicates there is a new Work Template Revision available for your
Workorder which is not yet synchronized.
Review the A
Icon in front of

number:
General Note:
When a revised Work Template in Work Template Manager is synchronized with a
workorder and thereafter the Work Template revision is deleted then the link
between the Work Template and the workorder is also deleted.
In other words, the workorder is now a standard workorder without an "A" in front of
the workorder number.
Once saved it is possible to link or import the Work Step to any maintenance event
Work Template. You can edit an imported Work Step however a linked Work Step
needs to be revised in the Work Step Repository program.
The second option is to create a Work Step in the program Work Step Repository
itself.
The creation of the Work Step is exactly the same as explained in the exercise of
the Work Template Manager program.

STRUCTURAL DAMAGE
Overview
Structural Damage is used to display data about damages on an aircraft or
rotable parts. To have a better overview, Structural Damage gives you the
opportunity to pinpoint the location of the damages on pre-scanned
images. The pictures are used to create a Dent & Buckle Chart, where
every damage can be viewed in detail. A table displays an overview of all
damages of the aircraft or rotable.
Structural Damage has a Search Filter panel on the left with several
selections to refine your search and filter for specific damage settings.
Several tabs can be generated with specific search sets. Once you have
entered your search and filter criteria, click Search to show information in
the rest of the program window.
Note: Images must already be entered in Aircraft Administration or Part
Administration in order to load them in this program.The following image
types are supported: PNG, JPG, GIF, CGM and SVG.
Features
All features apply to both aircraft and rotable part damages.
One workorder can have several damages but one damage can only
have one main workorder.
As soon as a damage with a repetitive inspection is created, an Ad-hoc
JIC can only be created directly from Structural Damage if the
Workorder No. field is filled with a linked workorder.
Rotable part damages can be displayed on both an aircraft and a
rotable chart and the damage follows the part when it is installed on a
different aircraft.

2.10.5.1 Overview
Component W/P Close Loop - Cargo Panel
Component Workpackagecontains all the required functions to manage
extensive maintenance, repair and overhaul activities in a shop
environment. It enables you to plan, control and execute the production of
single components and complex assemblies not only in-house but also for
third party maintenance.
Component Workpackageis based on the aircraft maintenance concept
and benefits from all the features available in the corresponding programs,
such as the forecast of maintenance events, the production plans or the
capacity planning.
Component Workpackageallows you to:
▪ Create component workpackages for rotables, consumable repairables
or unknown part numbers.
▪ Set the target start and end dates, the planned start and end dates, and
the turnaround time.
▪ Visualise the component tree and modify it: create tags, add children to
the component tree, disassemble a sub assembly, scrap components.
▪ Assign executable (shopcards) and non-executable (customer
requirements) events, edit the planned dates of the work steps.
▪ Pause / resume work on the component, confirm the shop arrival, route
component to a next shop.
▪ Create work steps, import a work step from the repository, duplicate the
work step and edit the work step sequence.
▪ Add shopcards defined in Work Template Manager, create ad hoc
shopcards.
▪ Create shopcard findings.
In the exercise we will demonstrate the Close Loop process. The purpose
of the Close Loop is to perform a Maintenance operation in the shop under
the release of the Aircraft. This is especially related to hangar support
shop operation (eg Cleaning, Interior, Structure, Paint…)
