How do I use an ECO while converting a component to an item?

When converting a solution alternative or concept component to a PLM application, assign the newly created item to an exclusive engineering change order (ECO) created in the PLM application, or to an existing ECO, or to no ECO at all.

Using an ECO enables tracking of product changes, and implementation or modification of production processes within the PLM application.

• Create an exclusive ECO to track a proposed solution alternative in its entirety as it moves through the product life cycle

• Select an existing ECO to track product redesigns

  Note: Selecting an existing ECO that's already in the Released state stops the conversion operation and results in an application error
