Next Higher Assembly
The Next Higher Assembly database is a link to a list of NSNs in which
a NIIN or item is found and is generally associated with assembly kits
and includes data such as that from the Army Technical Manuals.
Example:
- In the FLIS database, type 01-056-8967in
the NIIN field and click Search.
- Click on the More
Databases button to expand the list of databases in which the NIIN
can be found.
- Click on the Next
Higher Assembly database. This NIIN is found in one other assembly
kit, a hydraulic accumulator.
- If you click on this NIIN, you can then access
a part number record from the MCRL panel. For example, part number 16VH0052.
- A Super Search window opens, allowing you to perform
a multi-database search for the part or the NIIN.
- In our example, leave the part number field blank
and enter the NIIN (01-056-8967) in the NIIN field, and then click Search.
The NIIN is found in seven different databases, including the Found In
database which listed our hydraulic accumulator assembly.
- To do a multi-database search for the part number,
click the Back button to return to the Multi-database, or Super Search,
window and enter 16VH0052 in the part number field and leave the NIIN
field blank.
- Leave all of the database check boxes selected
and click Search. The part number is found in the FLIS database and the
Inventory/Capability database.
