| # Engineering Item Revision (tiedm1100m000) Use this session to modify and define revisions of E-items. You can, for example: Enter data for revisions of engineering items. Import revision data from a CAD application. Change the revision status of an e-item revision. On the tabs, you can view and maintain the revision's EBOM, and the relationships between an engineering item and standard or customized items. Related topics Engineering data management summary Engineering items Import CAD application data with the Exchange module Overview of reference designators Integration Manufacturing and Document Management General Engineering Item The E-item for which you want to maintain revisions. Manual Revision Numbering If this check box is selected, you can enter the revision number manually when you create new revisions. If you change the revision numbering mode in between, for example, from manual to automatic, the next highest number for the current revision series for the e-item is generated. Engineering Item Revision The engineering item's revision for which you are defining a bill of material (BOM). Related topics Engineering items Status The status of the revision. Allowed values Engineering Item Revision Status Creation Date The date on which the revision was created. Description The revision's description. ECO Procedure Step Text If this check box is selected, a revision text is present. Item Signal The code of item signal. During the process of the copying e-item to a standard item, the item signal code can be copied only when the Copy Item Signal Code check box is selected in the Engineering Data Management Parameters (tiedm0100m000) session. Engineer The employee who is responsible for supervising the design of the revision. Engineer Displays the value entered in the Employee field in the Employees - General (tccom0101m000) session, from which you select the value for the Engineer field. MBC The mass BOM change used to control the revision. Related topics Engineering data management summary Changing EBOMs - Automatic procedure Validity In process by Change Management If this check box is selected, an approval procedure for the e-item revision has started in Data Management. You must first complete the approval procedure before you can approve the revision for production. Effective Date The date and time that the revision becomes effective. You can change this date manually to any future date. If you have multiple revisions that have the In-design status, you can schedule the effective date for all these revisions. If you approve an e-item revision that has an effective date for production that is before the current date, the effective date is automatically set to the Approved by Production date. If the revision is finalized, the effective date of the revision for the parent E-item is taken as the effective date for the PBOM lines. So the desired effective date for the PBOM lines must be set here. Expiry Date If the revision has the Approved by Production status, the Expiry Date field is empty, and you can set this date manually. When a new revision is created with an effective date before the expiry date of the previous revision the expiry date of the previous revision is set to the effective date of this new revision. You cannot change the expiry date if: The status of the revision is not Approved by Production. The revision has been Approved by Production, but the Expiry Date field is filled. Related topics Engineering items Effective Change Order The change order that defines the effective date of the e-item revision. Expiry Change Order The change order that defines the expiry date of the e-item revision. Approved by Engineering Date The date when the revision status was changed to Approved by Engineering. From that date, the design of the revision is approved for use in the engineering environment. However, it cannot be copied to a production item or copied to a production bill of material. Once a revision is Approved by Engineering it cannot be deleted, only canceled and archived. Approved by Production Date The date when the revision status was changed to Approved by Production. From that date, the revision can be either copied to a production item or to a production bill of material. Date from CAD The date that the revision was imported from a CAD application. Related topics Import CAD application data with the Exchange module Physical Material What the e-item revision is made of, for the current revision. For example, paper, plastic, wood. Size How large the e-item revision is, for the current revision. For example, 200 mm x 1 meter. Norm Standard The company, national, or international standard to which the e-item revision conforms (or must conform), for the current revision. For example, ISO 8601, NEN 3140, BS 1383. Weight Unit Unit of measurement for weight, such as a kilogram. Weight The weight of the revision, entered in the units that you have defined in the Weight Unit field. Units BOM Quantity The number of manufactured items to which a bill of materials (BOM) applies. The BOM quantity enables you to specify very small item quantities as BOM components. Example You need very small amounts of certain colors to mix one liter of a specific paint, Cotton White. Therefore, a BOM quantity of 1000 liter is defined. The component quantities for the paint can then be as follows:
Paint Cotton White, 1000 liter:
White | 999 liter
Yellow | 0.6 liter
Red | 0.2 liter
Blue | 0.2 liter
Unit Set A group of unit codes that can be linked to standard or customized items, or to item defaults. In a unit set, you can indicate the physical quantities that can be used for the item, in which modules, and for what purposes. Unit Unit of measurement, such as meter, kilogram, or piece. Freeze Click to set the revision's status to Frozen. You can only do this for revisions whose status is In-design. Reset Revision Status Click to set the revision's status to In-design. You can only do this for revisions whose status is Frozen. If the status is greater than Frozen and you want to change the design, you can cancel the revision and make a new one. Approve by Engineering Click to set the revision's status to Approved by Engineering. From that moment, the design of the revision is approved for use in the engineering environment. However, it cannot be copied to a production item or copied to a production bill of material. Approve by Production Click to set the revision's status to Approved by Production. You can only do this for revisions whose status is: Approved by Engineering. Frozen In-design Cancel Revision Click to set the revision's status to Canceled. You can only do this for revisions whose status is Approved by Engineering: In-design revisions can be deleted Approved by Production revisions can be archived Canceled revisions can be archived.
