Object Release in ECO

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I would like to know how effectively I can use the ECO process in the below scenerio?

I have a BOM which is attached as an object in a ECR. Now a component is there in this BOM which is manufactured at a vendors site. Now vendor would not start the change or mfg of this item unless there is a Purchase Order. Now for generation of the PO through MRP the BOM has to be approved and released ie:

client should be able to order some part in the BOM before all the others are approved.

Any way round?

Thanks,

Paddy

Hi Paddy,

You can change the BOM even without Change Number at any status of ECR/ECO

even after Convert.

Please make it more clear, what you are looking for

Hi Rehman,

I need to controll the BOM which has a change required for part A&B. Part A would go through normal change process with the final valid from date on ECO, but now B is a part which has to be procured from outside and needs a PO using the BOM.

Can we imply the alternative date option here? So that I can have a different dates for the BOM and the part-B

Thanks,

Hi Paddy,

In the Same BOM & in Same Change Number you cannot do this !

Once when you release the Change Number then Change Number is closed and it cannot be used for anything else.

Before Release status it can be done.
