Which IMDS screen is used to load, change, inquire, and delete the basic equipment identification information for part/serial numbered items?

• A. 810
• B. 379
• C. 467
• D. 42

Answer: (D)

Managing Basic Equipment Identification (BEI) for serial-numbered items is the key idea. BEI records uniquely tie a part number to a specific serial, and you need a screen that lets you create new BEI entries, update existing ones, look them up, and remove them when needed. The screen numbered 42 is designed for this BEI maintenance workflow—it provides the fields for part number, serial number, and other BEI details, plus the actions to load, change, inquire, or delete records. The other screens correspond to different data areas in IMDS, not BEI maintenance, so they don’t fit the required four-action BEI task as directly.
