.Use this screen to selectively release multiple engineering bills of material (EBOMs). When you first access this screen, only unreleased EBOM assemblies with standard parts from the Manage Engineering Bills of Material and Release Engineering Bills of Material screens display in the table window. No provisional parts display, because provisional parts cannot be included in released EBOMs. Similarly, if the EBOM assembly is a standard part, but provisional component parts exist, these provisional component parts do not automatically load.
This screen is available only if you selected the Use Engineering Bills of Material check box on the Configure Bills of Material Settings screen.
You cannot release an assembly if there are unreleased subassemblies in the Components subtask. Unreleased lower-level assemblies must have a Released BOM status in the Manage Engineering Bills of Material or Release Engineering Bills of Material screen before the higher-level assemblies can be released on a given multi-level EBOM.
Upon entering this screen, you are prompted to select EBOMs you want to view and edit. Use the Engineering BOMs dialog box to search Costpoint for specific EBOMs by assembly part, revision, description, or BOM exist flag. If you search for a specific EBOM, this field displays in form view. If you use a wildcard to search for multiply EBOMs, this screen displays in table view. You can switch between the form and table view by clicking or .
Use this field to enter, or use 
to select, the assembly part for which this EBOM is being maintained.
This field displays this assembly part's revision.
This field displays this assembly part's description.
This field is visible only if the Use Part Data Security Controls check box is selected on the Configure Product Definition Settings screen, which indicates that the assembly part is subject to data security restrictions, as defined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
If enabled, this field displays one of the following values to indicate whether the part you are accessing is subject to part data security restrictions and whether you have the necessary authorization to access information for that part:
Unrestricted — The part is not subject to data security restrictions.
Restricted — The part is subject to data security restrictions and that you are authorized to access detailed part information.
***UNAUTHORIZED*** — The part is subject to data security restrictions and you are not authorized to access or view part information. This value is displayed in red background color.
Use this drop-down list to select the release status of the EBOM for the assembly part. The available options are:
Released
Partially Released
Unreleased
You must first set the Part Status field to Released, Obsolete, or Phase-out before you can set this field to Released.
If you set this field to Released and non-subassembly, unreleased component parts exist (the Component BOM Status and Comp Released field are both N in the Components subtask) whose Part Status is Released, Obsolete, or Phase-out, Costpoint displays a message asking whether you would like to release these components. Select OK to do so, and the components will be released only when the record is saved (the Comp Released column will be set to Y).
If you change this field to Released and try to save the record while the Component BOM Status is Unreleased, Costpoint displays a warning indicating that the EBOM cannot be released (along with a list of the components' part/revision numbers) because the component part is an unreleased subassembly. You must change the Component EBOM Status to Released in the Manage Engineering Bills of Material or Release Engineering Bills of Material screen.
Use this drop-down list to select the release status of this assembly part. The available options are:
Pre-Release
Released
Phase-Out
Estimating
Obsolete
The value in this field is linked to the Part Status Type field in the Manage Parts screen in Costpoint Product Definition and to the Part Status fields in the Manage Engineering Bills of Material and Release Engineering Bills of Material screens.
The assembly part's status must be Obsolete, Released, or Phase-Out before you can set the MBOM Status field to Released.
This field displays this assembly part's type. The various types are:
Buy with Components
Standard
Phantom
Reference
Tool
This field displays Y (Yes) if this assembly part is a subassembly. Otherwise, this field displays N (No). If this field is Y, the table window below lists component parts as they display in a separate EBOM assembly.
This field displays the Make if this assembly part is manufactured or Buy if it is purchased.
This field displays the inventory unit of measure for this assembly part.
This field displays the user ID of the individual who first entered the assembly part into Costpoint.
This field displays the date an time on which this assembly part was entered into Costpoint.
This field displays the user ID of the individual who made the most recent modification to this assembly part.
This field displays the date and time of the most recent modification made to this assembly part.
This system-maintained field displays the code representing the method used for the most recent modification to the EBOM. This field displays one of the following codes:
M (Manual) — This indicates that a user-defined modification has occurred for the EBOM record on either the Manage Engineering Bills of Material or Release Engineering Bills of Material screen.
E (ECN-Engineering Change Notice) — This indicates that a modification has occurred for the EBOM record as it relates to Costpoint Engineering Change Notices.
C (Clone EBOM) — This indicates that the EBOM was copied from another existing EBOM using the clone function.
S (Mass Component Change) — This indicates that a mass component modification has occurred for this EBOM record on the Apply Mass Component Changes to Bills of Material screen.
V (Provisional Part Conversion) — This indicates that a provisional part has been converted to a standard part using the Convert Provisional Parts to Standard Parts screen in Costpoint Product Definition.
B (Copy from MBOM) — This indicates that the EBOM is copied from a manufacturing bill of material (MBOM) using the Copy Bills of Material screen.
H (Copy from PBOM) — This indicates that the EBOM is copied from a proposal bill of material (PBOM) using the Copy Bills of Material screen.
N (Maintain Part - Create New Part) — This indicates that a new part has been created.
P (BOM Preprocessor) — This indicates that modifications have occurred using the preprocessor.
If the selected part exists as an MBOM assembly part, this field displays if that MBOM is R (Released), P (Partially Released), or U (Unreleased). If this assembly part is not an EBOM part, this field displays N (Not applicable).
If the MBOM Release Status field displays R, this field displays the date and time on which the MBOM was released. If the MBOM Release Status field displays N, P, or U, this field is left blank.
If the MBOM Release Status field is populated, this field displays the latest date and time on which a modification occurred to the MBOM. If the MBOM Release Status field is N, this field is left blank.
This field displays miscellaneous information about this assembly part.
