Work with change notices

Track manufacturing structure changes associated with change notices

As a manufacturing engineer or a process planner, you can associate an engineering change notice (ECN) or manufacturing change notice (MCN) only with manufacturing structures for which you are planning. Teamcenter Easy Plan uses change notices to locally track manufacturing structure changes, because any changes that happen outside of your work package are ignored.

Procedure

  1. Search for a work package, and select it from the list.

  2. Click a task tile to navigate to a planning task.

    Teamcenter Easy Plan displays the Track Your Work dialog box, which gives you the option to associate the work package with an ECN.

  3. Select Track with change notice, select an ECN to make it active, and click Continue.

    Teamcenter Easy Plan attaches the ECN to the work package and opens the planning task page.

    Teamcenter Easy Plan lists the ECN that you applied at the top of each task planning page, and tracks changes that you make in any of the task planning pages. Note If you are using a usage MBOM, even if you have set an MCN, you must select an active change notice from the BOM Alignment page to track usage structure changes.
