Engineering Change Control
Manage version control and updates to bills of material (BOM) and routings while controlling effectivity dates that impact material planning, costing, and scheduling. Engineering Change Control is part of the Acumatica Manufacturing Edition.
Simplify BOM and Routing Revisions
Inaccurate bill of material and routing definitions trickle down throughout the manufacturing process negatively affecting material planning, cost analysis, and resource scheduling. Engineering Change Control (ECC) helps manufacturers to maintain control of master data in a rapidly changing world. ECC monitors the process of changing your bill of materials and routing with built-in approvals workflow to ensure compliance with current customer, vendor, and production requirements. Manufacturers with complex engineering and product release processes may be interested in the Acumatica for Arena Native Connector application for connectivity with advanced product lifecycle management (PLM) features.
Key Benefits of Engineering Change Control for your Company
Important Features of Engineering Change Control (ECC)
Manage engineering change requests by BOM and revision with requested dates, effective dates, requester names, priority codes, and additional information.
Tie multiple ECRs to a single ECO for the same item or skip the ECR process and manage changes directly from the new ECO.
Setup an automated process to route ECRs and ECOs internally for approval.
View BOM revisions side-by-side to quickly identify changes between versions.
Control user access to ECR and ECO processes with database logs for changes.
