Change Order Actions

You can propagate changes, move lines between change orders, and manage the life cycle of a change order using the change order actions available on the Actions menu on the Manage Change Orders page.

Actions in the Product Information Management Work Area

Here are some of the actions available on a change order:

• Promote and Demote: Manually promote or demote a change order to the next status in the workflow for that change type.

  The workflow associated with the change type may allow a change order to be automatically promoted or demoted to the next status after the completion of the workflow in a specific status.

• Hold: Place a change order on hold. No further action can be taken on the change order.

• Release Hold: Release the change order from being on hold, so that further actions can now be taken.

• Cancel: Set the change order status to canceled. Any changes defined for items in the change order are discarded.

• Propagate: Propagate the selected change order to the selected child organizations.

• Move Change Lines: Move the selected change lines to a new change order within the same organization.

• Reschedule Change Line: Modify the effective date in a Scheduled change order. The modified date must be within the start and end date of updated or disabled component in the item structure.

  If you reschedule a change line which includes a new item component in item structure with start and end date specified manually, rescheduling affects the start date only; the end date is unaltered.

  If you modify the effective date in a commercializaton change order and you receive a message that the effective date for the affected line must be after the effective date of the successor item, here’s what you can do:

  • Cancel the change line and move it to a new change order.
  • Resolve revision conflicts for the old revision.
  • Edit the effective date of the change line in the new change order.
  • Route the new change order for approval and completion.
• Publish: publish engineering change orders into an XML report. A process ID is generated for each report. To view the report, click Tasks > View Scheduled Process and enter the process ID.
  Note: You can retrieve the publication files from Oracle WebCenter Content programmatically, or by using the File Import and Export option in the Tools menu of the Navigator.

• Generate Report: Produce a detailed report on the selected change order.
