Create ECOs
Form ID: (AM514000)
This process allows you to create multiple Engineering Change Orders (ECO) from multiple approved Engineering Change Requests (ECR). It also provides an option to merge multiple ECRs for the same bill of material and revision to a single ECO. Creating an ECO for an ECR changes the ECR status to completed.
Tip:
When merging multiple ECRs, the oldest ECR is used as a basis for the ECO. Then each ECR is evaluated in chronological order going from lowest ECR ID to highest. If two ECRs have a change to the same record and same field, the more recent ECR will take priority.
Form Toolbar
The form toolbar includes standard and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands are listed in the following table.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| Process | Create ECOs for only the selected ECRs |
| Process All | Create ECOs for all the ECR's on the list. If you apply a filter to the list, only the ECRs displayed are processed. |
Selection Area
In this area, you can select the settings that will affect the process of ECO creation.
| Element | Description |
