			<List><ListItem>Make sure that an E-item <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Revision.ti" role="glossary">revision</Link> has the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/edm.rele#appr.for.prod" role="enum">Approved for Production</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Create a link between the E-item revision and a standard or customized item using the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/edm/tiedm1101m000" role="session">Engineering Item - Item Relationship (tiedm1101m000)</Link> session. If the item does not already exist, SSA ERP provides the option to create it.</ListItem>

				<ListItem>You can check whether the new or revised item is the same as the original E-item using the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/edm/tiedm1120m000" role="session">EBOM Copy Data (tiedm1120m000)</Link> session.</ListItem>

			<List><ListIntro>When you copy an <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#EngineItem.ti" role="glossary">E-item</Link>, SSA ERP caries out the following actions:</ListIntro>
				<ListItem>If the production item does not exist, SSA ERP creates it.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>An already existing relationship between an E-item and an item is updated in the session <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/edm/tiedm1101m000" role="session">Engineering Item - Item Relationship (tiedm1101m000)</GUIRef>. When the item relationship is updated, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/edm/tiedm1101m000#tiedm101.eicp" role="formfield">E-Item Copied</GUIRef> check box is selected, and the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/edm/tiedm1101m000#tiedm101.deic" role="formfield">E-Item Copy Date</GUIRef> field is given the value of the date of copying.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>SSA ERP checks if a valid revision has the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/edm.rele#appr.for.prod" role="enum">Approved for Production</GUIRef>. If it does not, a relationship cannot be established.</ListItem>

			<Paragraph>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 <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0501m000" role="session">Items - General (tcibd0501m000)</GUIRef> session. You can alter that with the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/edm/tiedm3220m000" role="session">Update Engineering Relationship (tiedm3220m000)</Link> session.</Paragraph>
