global realease key and effectivity date in ECN's

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We are using Engg BOM and Prod BOM , while releaseing ECN's in engg BOM , in poduction it has to be updated.

But the date has been maintained as effectivity date in ENGG BOM while creating ECN at date of creation , after updation of Prod BOM they released for production using Global release Key,

Can any one help me if some body forgot to release this global release key.

then the system updated based on effectivity date of that Engg BOM ECN's.

Thanks & Regards

Dear Mangalraj,

Thanks for your kind response,

I am giving a live example.Earlier we had only production BOM in Discret Manufacturing Process

Now we have changed to Repitative Manufacturing process in SAP.

what the ECN's made by R&D are immediately get affected our Production BOM and also our MRP and meterials procurment Procedure.

Because of this we decided to have Engg BOM and Production BOM to control the ECN and MRP process.

In our R&D they made some changes and creating ECN numbers, for example with valid date of 10.08.2007 but they are not released the global release key.

I would like to know that ECN creation date 10.08.2007 is valid date for that ECN changes or it will affect after releaseing the global release key while implementing this ECN number in Production BOM.

I hope this will help u to understand my problem.If possible give your personal phone numbers or mailid

Thanks in advance

Dear Sureshbabu,

Why do u want to maintain 2 individual BOM's as one for Engg & one for

Production?Better create an ECN with release key and do the changes in the

BOM(actually done by the Engg Division people) and once its finalised ,let them

release the Change number( that's setting the release key).So until that time only

the old BOM (items)remain alive.

Still if you face any problem regarding this,revert back to forums.
