Release Multiple Engineering Bills of Material

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.

Note: If you selected the Release Eng BOM check box in the Configure Engineering Change Notice Settings screen in Costpoint Engineering Change Notices, you can release EBOMs only in the Manage Engineering Change Notices screen. If you selected the Modify Released Eng BOM check box, you will be able to make the majority of modifications to released EBOMs only in the Manage Engineering Change Notices screen.

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 .
