Engineering Data Management (EDM)

You can use the Engineering Data Management module to create and modify data for items in development, and change that data into actual production data.

Engineering data mainly consists of:

  • Engineering items (E-items).
  • Engineering item revisions.
  • Engineering BOMs (EBOMs).
  • Relationships between engineering items and manufactured items.

You can either copy individual engineering items to actual items, or carry out multiple changes simultaneously using mass BOM changes (MBCs).

The following online manual topics are available:

  • Engineering data management summary
  • Engineering items
  • Engineering BOMs
  • Changing EBOMs - Manual procedure
  • Changing EBOMs - Automatic procedure
  • Changing EBOMs - Semi-automatic procedure
  • Copying E-items to items
  • Finalizing engineering data
  • Unit effectivity in EDM
  • Import CAD application data with the Exchange module
