Displaying, Defining and modifying MBC
To define a new MBC in the MBC (tiedm3610m000) session, click New MBC. To find an MBC, click Find MBC. You can only modify MBCs that have the In Design status.
To use MBCs
You can apply an MBC in two situations:
- To change and approve a number of EBOMs. For more information, refer to Changing EBOMs - Automatic procedure
- To approve the changes in a number of EBOMs, after you made changes in the EBOMs manually. For more information, refer to Changing EBOMs - Semi-automatic procedure.
If the Manual Revision Numbering check box in the Engineering Data Management Parameters (tiedm0100m000) session is selected, finalizing an MBC procedure is different in some respects. For more information, refer to the Manual Revision Numbering field Help.
