Material Substitution ECN Item Generation

Use this utility to create multiple line items for an ECN.

Note: 
  • The status of the ECN must be Requested.
  • You cannot add line items for Engineering Change Notices if the status is set to Completed, Approved, or History.
  • You cannot use this function to post changes.
  • Clicking Process only allows you to generate ECN items. After you have generated the line item, you must post the ECN to create an actual change in the BOM.
  • Substitutions to current BOMs do not occur if the item numbers are different, the material being substituted for is an alternate material, and the material being substituted is already in the alternate group, or if the material being substituted is a non-inventory item.
