The Engineering Change Order feature is part of the Supply Chain Management SuiteApp V4.0. The Engineering Change Order feature lets you generate engineering change order (ECO) records. These records document changes to your Bills of Materials (BOMs) and authorize the implementation of those changes.
- Using the ECO record, you can list item and bill of materials to be updated, and specify reasons for the
- change.
- Through the SuiteApprovals workflow, you create approval rules for your ECO records.
- Each ECO record is evaluated and routed for approval through the applicable approval rule.
- After approval, changes entered on the ECO record are automatically or manually implemented, and
- affected records are modified.
- You can keep track of revisions to items and BOMs using ECO lists and implementation logs.
Limitations
- Engineering Change Order supports Inventory and Assembly Items only.
- Use of the feature requires Advanced Bill of Materials.
- Custom workflows for ECO approval are not currently supported.
- A User Event (UE) script execution threshold is associated with successful loading of ECO records. ECO records are successfully loaded when the account has no more than 80,000–90,000 active assembly and inventory items per subsidiary.
- Support for SOAP web services and CSV import is currently not available with the feature.
- The feature does not support Legacy BOM.
