| # Copying E-items to items You can copy E-items individually. You can also copy EBOMs and E-items using MBCs. For more information on MBCs, see the Changing EBOMs - Automatic procedure topic. How to copy an E-item to an item Make sure that an E-item revision has the status Approved for Production. Create a link between the E-item revision and a standard or customized item using the Engineering Item - Item Relationship (tiedm1101m000) session. If the item does not already exist, LN provides the option to create it. Copy the E-item to the production item with the Copy Engineering Item to Item (tiedm1201m000) session. You can check whether the new or revised item is the same as the original E-item using the EBOM Copy Data (tiedm1120m000) session. What happens when you copy an E-item? When you copy an E-item, LN caries out the following actions: If the production item does not exist, LN creates it. An already existing relationship between an E-item and an item is updated in the session Engineering Item - Item Relationship (tiedm1101m000). When the item relationship is updated, the E-Item Copied check box is selected, and the E-Item Copy Date field is given the value of the date of copying. LN checks if a valid revision has the status Approved for Production. If it does not, a relationship cannot be established. Note The result of copying an E-item to an item depends on the value of the item's Update Engineering Item Relations field in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session. You can alter that with the Update Engineering Relationship (tiedm3220m000) session.
