Edit Released Engineering Items
You can edit released engineering items by assigning them to a change order or using change order import. To modify the entire structure that contains the released item, you must also assign the parent item.
If you’re using change order import, you can modify the following: item general information, structure components, reference designators, substitute components, and AML. This isn't applicable for commercial items and commercialization change orders. For more information, see the related topic on Item Batch Change Order Options.
Before you edit released engineering items, note that:
- You don’t have to route the items through a change order if you’re modifying the
following:
- Preliminary engineering items that have never been added to a change
order.
For example, you can modify the AML through import map without a change order, if the item hasn’t been assigned to any change order.
- Item extensible flexfields and operational attributes that aren't change-controlled.
- Attachments on the item.
- Preliminary engineering items that have never been added to a change
order.
- You must use a change order to modify released engineering items or structures through FBDI also.
- To avoid enforcing change control during migration or mass update, set the profile option EGP_CONVERSION_MODE to Yes. Remember to set it back to No after the process is complete.
