System Status for a Change Master Record 

In an optimal change process, the following system statuses are contained in the status network of the change master record:

Phase I as ECR	Phase II as ECO	Both Phases
Check ECR	Complete ECO	Lock change
ECR checked	Release ECO	Unlock
Approve ECR
Convert ECR

 

The following table shows some additional statuses which may be required for additional activities:

Phase I as ECR	Phase II as ECO
Reject ECR	ECO incomplete
Withdraw approval	ECO complete

 

The following applies for the status sequence:

       1.      When you create an engineering change request (ECR), you can, for the time being, only set a status from the ECR phase.

       2.      After you have converted the ECR to an ECO, you can set a status from the ECO phase. You can no longer set any status that is in the ECR phase at this point in the process.
