Setup Tasks to Define Changes

Before you can create change orders, you must complete these tasks in the Setup and Maintenance work area (for the Product Management offering):

Task	Description
Manage Change Reasons	Change reasons are used to categorize and establish the cause or reason for a change. Change reasons are required for creating changes.
Manage Change Priorities	Change priorities are used to identify the criticality of changes. Change priorities are required for creating changes.
Manage Change Statuses	Change statuses enable you to manage a change through its life cycle.
Manage Attachment Categories	Create attachment categories for change types.
Manage Change Order Types	All changes are assigned a change type. You must create at least one change type based on predefined change types.
Manage Change Order and New Item Request Header Descriptive Flexfields	Manage the header-level descriptive flexfields for change orders and new item requests. You can create entry and exit criteria using descriptive flexfields.
Manage Change Order and New Item Request Line Descriptive Flexfields	Manage the line-level descriptive flexfields for change orders. Note that Line-level descriptive flexfields for new item requests aren't supported.
Manage Extensible Flexfields	Configure extensible flexfields for a change type so that the fields appear at the header level on change orders, change requests, problem reports, and corrective actions.
Manage Task Configurations for Supply Chain Management	Define the task configurations for the change approval workflow.
Manage Approval Groups for Supply Chain Management	Define approval groups for the change approval workflow.

Note:

• The tasks listed in the table are applicable for change orders, change requests, problem reports, and corrective actions.

• Using Groovy scripting you can only access global descriptive flexfields. Create actions, triggers, and conditions based on the values of the global and contextual descriptive flexfields. You can’t use Groovy scripting to access contextual descriptive flexfields on change orders.
