Manufacturing Edition: 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.
Key Benefits of Acumatica Manufacturing BOM & Routing
Engineering Revisions and Engineering Change Orders
Full control from Engineering Change Request (ECR) to Engineering Change Order (ECO) to updating the BOM. Merge multiple ECRs for the same part into a single ECO.
Change Requests & BOM Comparison
Automates controls and organizes all change requests, plans, and actual changes to a BOM and routing. The BOM Comparison screen allows for quickly seeing changes between ECR, ECO, and BOM.
Approvals Workflow & Assignment Maps
Use Acumatica Approval and Assignment Maps to control the approval process for both requests and change orders. You can choose if approvals are required for either or both ECR and ECO.
Important Features of Acumatica 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.
Gain insights into engineering and design with real-time data for engineering change orders, engineering change requests, and approval status.
