Process documentationSetting Up Engineering Change Order (ECO) Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You can use this process to set up engineering changer orders (see Engineering Change Order (ECO)).

Process

  1. In Next Number Maintenance, you use the default numbering pattern for ECO or create a new ECO numbering pattern (see Next Number Maintenance).

  2. If you want shop floor personnel to submit shop floor change requests, you set up the Collaboration feature to integrate with the Shop Floor Change Request activity (see Shop Floor Change Request) as follows:

    1. In Collaboration Directive Maintenance, you create a directive for shop floor change request (see Collaboration Directive Maintenance).

    2. In Collaboration Link Maintenance, you link the directive you created to the COLLABORATION_CHANGE_REQUEST trigger action (see Collaboration Link Maintenance).

  3. In POD Maintenance, you set up one or more PODs to execute the ECO Processing (SU610) activity from the Start pushbutton (see POD Pushbutton Activities).

    Note Note

    On the Buttons tab page, on the row containing the Start pushbutton associated with the ECO Processing (SU610) activity, you must enter a lower sequence number than the row containing the Start pushbutton associated with the Start activity.

    You may use the ECO POD included with the system or an alternate POD.

    End of the note.

Result

When an operator chooses Start in the PODs, the ECO executes and tags SFC numbers for an ECO before the Start activity occurs.
