Approve a destination, reserve and fit a component

Match current released stock to an exact approved requirement, then confirm actual fitting.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Operator, Supervisor

On this page

A reusable component needs permission for its destination as well as its source. Prepare the exact destination requirement, obtain independent approval and reserve a currently eligible component. Reservation, starting installation and physical confirmation are three separate steps.

Prepare the destination requirement

In Destination work, enter the destination unit identity, exact slot, required part code and revision, customer reference and use class. Record that recovered parts are permitted and the customer or engineering permission reference. The visible preparation form is offered to supervisors.

A different supervisor approves the pending requirement with reviewed evidence and reason. The creator cannot approve their own requirement. A missing destination permission reference cannot be supplied by assuming that source reuse permission covers every destination.

Check eligibility and reserve

In Find and reserve, select the approved requirement and candidate component. Check the exact part revision, identity, usable location, current independent release and assessment validity. The current approved policy must match its customer reference and intended use. Active holds or incidents can prevent the action.

Choose Check eligibility and reserve, then read its outcome and expiry. Reservation holds a particular component for that requirement; it does not record fitting. Release an active reservation with a reason when the task will not proceed. Changed rules or evidence can invalidate it, requiring a fresh check and reservation.

Start and confirm physical installation

Open Install a part and select the reservation. Verify Actual component and Actual destination unit against the required component and slot. Choose Start installation only when ready to fit this exact part. Current eligibility runs again at that point.

Use Confirm installed only after physical fitting has happened. Check that the resulting installation describes the actual destination and slot. If nothing was fitted, use Confirm nothing was fitted for the started operation with a truthful reason. A different physical outcome needs the fitting-discrepancy workflow and supervisory review.

Never use a confirmation to clear an uncertain screen. Follow Station and connection problems when the answer is missing.
