Preparation Instructions
1Reference DocumentsNone.
2Format and ContentReport shall include the following data, current and complete database, which has been prepared from the information contained in source documents, used in the contractor's Traceability Program.
2.1Report shall include one record for eachReport shall include one record for each traceable item in accordance with the following instructions:
2.1.1Recorded data shall be left justifiedRecorded data shall be left justified unless stated otherwise. (Note: In part or drawing numbers beginning with "0N1", etc. the 0's represent the number zero and shall be recorded.
aColumns 1-24 Identification Number and columns 25-26 Revision LetterColumns 1-24; record the identification number of the part, module, element, subassembly, or assembly to be traced. Columns 25-26; record the revision letter of the line item identified in columns 1-24.
bColumn 27, Level CodeRecord the alphabetic code shown which corresponds to the item identified in Columns 1-26:
1Write "A" if the item is a partWrite "A" if the item is a part for which no further disassembly is possible (i.e., resistor, capacitor, inductor, translator, diode, integrated circuit, hybrid circuit, filter, connector, transformer, bare printed wiring board, etc.).
2Write "C" if the item is anWrite "C" if the item is an element that is assigned a tri-graph nomenclature (e.g., E-ABC or Z_ABC).
3Write "D" if the item is anWrite "D" if the item is an assembly that is assigned a tri-graph TSEC assembly nomenclature (e.g., KI-23 or KGX-28A).
4Write "E" if the item is anWrite "E" if the item is an assembly that is assigned di-graph TSEC assembly nomenclature (e.g., KI-24 or KI-37).
5Write "B" if the item does notWrite "B" if the item does not fit the description identified by level codes A, C, D, or E (i.e., an assemblage or parts that is not nomenclatured, or welded module composed of discrete parts.
cColumns 28-35, Reference Designation, Nomenclature, or Noun DescriptionRecord the Reference Designation or Nomenclature of the item identified in column 1-26 as follows:
1If column 27 equals "A", recordIf column 27 equals "A", record the specific reference designation (e.g., MD13). Write a descriptive word or abbreviation that may be easily recognized if the item has not reference designation.
2If column 27 equals "C", recordIf column 27 equals "C", record the specific elements or subassembly nomenclature, omitting hyphens (e.g., EABC/1, ZABC).
3If column 27 equals "D", writeIf column 27 equals "D", write the assembly trigraph nomenclature, omitting hyphens (e.g., KIR23).
4If column 27 equals "E", writeIf column 27 equals "E", write the assembly digraph nomenclature, omitting hyphens (e.g., KG46 or K137).
5If column 27 equals "B", followIf column 27 equals "B", follow the instructions of paragraph c.1 above.
6If column 71 equals "Z", andIf column 71 equals "Z", and columns 41-47 are all blanks or zeros, record in columns 28-30 "QTY" and record in columns 31-35 the number representing the quantity of spares on hand of the item identified in columns 1-26.
dColumns 36-40, CAGE CodeRecord the five digit CAGE Code of the item identified in columns 1-26. This code shall always reflect the true manufacturer of the item in its original configuration.
eColumns 41-47, Serial NumberRecord the serial number of the item identified in columns 1-26. The serial number is composed of a contract code letter (provided by the Government; this letter "A" for the first production, "B" for the second, etc.) to be recorded in column 41 followed by a six-digit alpha/numeric number in columns 42-47. Right justify the number in columns 42-47 using zeros for fill. Omit the contract code letter in column 41 and replace with zero if column 27 is equal to "D" or "E". Leave blank or enter zero if the part is lot traceable only.
fColumns 48-55, Traceability CodeRecord the Traceability Code. This code will normally be the date code stamped on the item identified in columns 1-26 by the original manufacturer. Where the manufacturer does not provide a date code, the batch/lot code shall be used. Where the original manufacturer does not provide a date, batch or lot code, the prime contractor shall assign traceability code, which will allow the item to be traced through its manufacturing history. Right justify and fill with zeros.
gColumns 56-68, Next Assembly Identification Number and columns 69-70 Revision LetterColumns 56-68; record the drawing number which identified the next higher assembly to the item that is identified in columns 1-26. Columns 69-70; record the revision letter of the item identified in columns 56-68. Leave this field blank if the item is a spare individual piece part (column 27 equals "A" and column 71 equals "Z"). If the item is a spare end item assembly item (column 27 equals "B" or "C" and the column 71 equals "Z") or column 27 equals "D" or "E" enter the total number of trace records for the assembly. Enter "RECORDS=" in columns 56-63 followed by the quantity of records in column 64-68.
hColumn 71, Next Assembly Level CodeRecord the alphabetic code shown below which corresponds to the item identified in column 56-70:
1Write "B", "C", "D", or "E"Write "B", "C", "D", or "E" in accordance with the line instructions in paragraphs b.2 through b.5.
2Write "Z" if the item identifiedWrite "Z" if the item identified in column 1-26 is a spare end item (part or assembly).
iColumns 72-76, Next Assembly Serial NumberRecord the serial number of the item identified in columns 56-70 according to the instructions provided in paragraph e. Omit the contract code letter and replace with a zero when "D" or "E" is written in column 71. If column 71 equals "Z", write the word "SPARE" in columns 72-76.
jColumn 77, End Item CodeRecord "E" if the item identified in columns 1-26 or columns 56-70 is an end item (i.e., a top assembly or equipment) otherwise, leave blank.
kColumns 78-83, Top Assembly NomenclatureRecord the TSEC nomenclature to which the traceability record applied, omitting hyphens (e.g., KIR23, KI24). If column 27 equals "A" and column 71 equals "Z", columns 78-83 shall be blank.
