Note Engineering Change Entry is available only if the Enable Engineering Change Control check box is selected in the Bill of Materials Options window.

Overview

Use Engineering Change Entry to record engineering change notices and implement controlled changes to the bill structure between revisions of a bill. This method allows you to forecast requirements for future periods.

Engineering changes can be implemented for a variety of reasons, such as error correction, cost reduction, design improvements, quality improvement, and changes in material specification. Each engineering change can affect one or more components within a bill.

Because the bills are not actually changed (the additions are marked with a starting date and the deletions are marked with a deletion date), all bill configurations remain on file. You can view any bill configuration by entering its change number. Engineering changes entered using Engineering Change Entry that have not been updated can be maintained at any time.
