EXPLANATION OF COLUMNS (SECTIONS II AND III (Con't).
(1) Source Code. The source code tells you how to get an item needed for maintenance, repair, or overhaul of
an end item/equipment. Explanations of source codes follow:
Code
Application/Explanation
Stocked items; use the applicable NSN to request/requisition items with these
source codes. They are authorized to the category indicated by the code
entered in the 3d position of the SMR code.
* * Items coded PC are subject to deterioration.
Items with these codes are not to be requested/requisitioned individually. They
are part of a kit which is authorized to the maintenance category indicated In the
3d position of the SMR code. The complete kit must be requisitioned and
applied.
Items with these codes are not to be requested/requisitioned individually. They
must be made from bulk materiel which is identified by the part number in the
DESCRIPTION AND USABLE ON CODE (UOC) column and listed in the bulk
materiel group of the repair parts list in this RPSTL. If the item is authorized to
you by the 3d position code of the SMR code, but the source code indicates it is
made at a higher level, order the item from the higher level of maintenance.
Items with these codes are not to be requested/requisitioned individually. The
parts that make up the assembled item must be requisitioned or fabricated and
assembled at the level of maintenance indicted by the source code. If the 3d
position code of the SMR code authorizes you to replace the item, but the
source code indicates that the item is assembled at a higher level, order the
item from the higher level of maintenance.
NOTE
Cannibalization or controlled exchange, when authorized, may be used as a
source of supply for items with the above source codes, except for those source
coded 'XA."
XA -
DO NOT requisition an 'XA'-coded item. Order its next higher assembly.
XB -
If an "XB" item is not available from salvage, order it using the CAGE and part number given.
