Actually Red Line Entry, Cannibalisation is exactly the same thing as "Robbing" but the name has now changed.
There has never been a differentiation between robbing and cannibalisation
You now have to raise a cannibalisation form to take even the smallest part from an aircraft regardless of whether you mean to replace the part or not.
Are you an engineer? Do you work on the aircraft? I hate to say this, but I don't think you do. Cannibalisation chits are now the norm if you want to "rob" aircraft spares, regardless of whether they will be replaced or not. The system changed about a year and a half ago.
