Publish Change Orders from Supplier Portal

As a supplier portal user, you can publish engineering change orders into an XML report. You can then use the report to integrate change order data with another application, or for another purpose.

After publishing is complete, the process number including hyperlinks to reports appears in the first 72 hours of report generation. Later on, only the process number appears.

Here's how you publish a change order from Supplier Portal:

1. In Products, click Manage Item Change Orders.

2. On the Manage Item Change Orders page, open an engineering change order that you want to publish. You can select more than one change order.

3. Click Actions > Publish. Note that you can only publish engineering change orders.

4. In the Change Publication Criteria dialog box, select the entities you want to publish and click Publish.

   A process ID is generated for each change order. You can also monitor the publication status from the Manage Item Change Orders page.

   Here are some additional details about entities:

   • The Include attachment files check box is enabled only if you select the change attachment entity. Select this check box to include the attachment files (digital assets) along with the attachment metadata when you publish.

   • By default, the Change general information entity is always selected for publishing and you can't change this setting.
