Apply Engineering Change Notices

Use this screen to implement the configuration modifications specified by an approved ECN.

You can use this screen to add to or modify information for parts, MBOM assemblies and components, EBOM assemblies and components, documents, and routings based on the configuration modifications specified in the ECN. If you did not select the Use Engineering Bills of Material check box in the BOM Corporate Settings subtask of the BOM Settings screen, tables that are affected by EBOMs are not updated. The application copies extended reference designator text if you selected the Use Extended Length Reference Designators check box in the BOM Corporate Settings subtask.

Below are several items that you should be aware of regarding this application's process.

  • The status of the ECN must be A - Approved or D - Documents Updated (depending on the check boxes selected in the Select ECN Status group box) before you execute this application. No other status values are included in this process.
  • If Organizational Security is enabled for this application (in the Security module), the process uses the user ID to determine which organization's ECNs to implement.
  • A report is available in which you can view the implemented modifications or view a trial run listing of the modifications to be made. The system also produces an exception report to identify modifications that cannot be implemented.
  • ECNs whose Hold check box is selected in the Approve ECNs screen are excluded from the process.
  • Routing header notes are updated if routing header notes are modified/inserted in the routing subtask.
