Engineering Item Revision

If the revision is valid, it can affect a standard or customized item. The revision is valid if:

• The revision's status is Approved by Production.
• The revision is linked to a standard item or to a customized item defined in the Engineering Item - Item Relationship (tiedm1101m000) session.
• The revision's current date falls between the effective date and the expiry date. The default effective date of a new revision is the current date. This date is used as the expiry date for the previous revision.

You can alter the status of an E-item revision in the Status field to:

• Frozen, if the revision status is In-design.
• In-design, if the revision status is Frozen.
• Approved by Engineering, if the revision status is Frozen or In-design.
• Approved by Production, if the revision status is Approved by Engineering or In-design.
• Canceled, if the revision status is Approved by Engineering. If you cancel an MBC in the MBC (tiedm3110m000) session, all the revisions that are linked to that order are also cancelled. In-design revisions can be deleted and Canceled revisions can be archived. You can not cancel a revision that is Approved by Engineering if the revision is linked to an MBC for which the EBOM changes are not yet been processed.
