Defining Engineering Codes
To define action codes, use the Action Codes (EG_ACTION_CD) component. To define activity codes for ECOs, use the ECO Activity Codes (EG_ACTIVITY) component. To define classification codes, use the Classification Codes (EG_CLASSIFICATION) component. To define approval type codes for ECOs, use the Approval Type (EG_ECO_APPR_ACTY) component. To define priority codes, use the Priority Codes (EG_PRIORITY) component.
There are several types of engineering codes that you can optionally define prior to using PeopleSoft Engineering. They include reason, priority, classification, action, and engineering activity codes. You can also set up automatic numbering for ECOs and ECRs.
You define reason codes and set up automatic numbering for ECOs and ECRs using pages in the navigation.

Classification Codes |
EG_CLASSIFICATION |
(Optional) Define classification codes. By associating these codes with ECOs later, you can use these classification codes to denote type of change. |
|
Priority Codes |
EG_PRIORITY_CD |
(Optional) Denote an ECR's or ECO's priority from the perspective of a requestor or ECO analyst. The system can use this code within the ECR and ECO maintenance pages. |
|
Action Codes |
EG_ACTION_CD |
(Optional) Define action codes denoting the impact a specific ECR or ECO change will have on areas such as existing production and inventory. |
|
ECO Activity Codes |
EG_ACTY_CD |
(Optional) Define generic ECO activity codes that can represent phases or milestones pertinent to your engineering change process. Once you have defined these activities, you can link them sequentially with the ECO Approval Types page, to form ECO approval types that you can later associate with ECOs. |
