Register Change Request (CR)
Explanation
Evaluate the engineering requirements to implement, postpone, or reject.
The requirements should be registered as engineering change
requests. The purpose of registering CRs is to gather all errors, possibilities
for improvement, etc., that are identified. Each CR is then evaluated. If the CR
is to be implemented, a corresponding change order (CO) is created to authorize
the work.
The default value in the CR Status field is Preliminary. This means that the CR needs to be completed. Other values
for CR Status are Active, Processed, and Cancelled.
Prerequisites
- CR basic data must be registered in
Change Management Basic
Data/CR
Levels and Change Management Basic
Data/CR
Types.
System Effects
- A CR is created.
- If the Request No
field was left empty, the system generated a request number.
- A CO can be created based on one or more CRs.

Procedure
- Open Change Requests
and create a new record
- Either enter a CR number in the Request No field or leave the field
blank to have the system assign a number.
- Enter description, CR Type, and CR Level. (the List of Values is available
for CR Type and CR Level.)
- Enter any other information you want the record to show.
- Save the record.
Alternatively, you can create a CR from an associated object, such as an
engineering part revision:
- Select the engineering part revision in
Engineering Part
Revision/Revision,
or select your object in an appropriate window.
- Click the Change Request in Attachments
- Select the New right mouse button menu option.
- Fill in the fields in the appearing dialog
box. If you leave the CR Number field empty, a number will automatically be generated.
- Click OK.
- A new CR is now created with a connection to the engineering part
revision.
