Confirm the Transfer

Explanation

Use this activity to confirm a transfer of an engineering revision to a site. The process creates the parts, part revisions, and structure data needed. Since the application uses date effectivity, the transfer will attempt to use the tentative revision that has a phase-in or effective date that is closest to the date that is listed in the proposed start date in the Engineering transfer windows. If no tentative revision exists, the system will either create the first revision, as is the case when the part is brand new to the manufacturing side, or it will create a revision that is numbered sequentially from the latest revision that is presently buildable. This situation will happen except when the first revision is tentative, the system will not use the first tentative revision, and instead system will create a second tentative revision. As additional revisions are transferred, the system will overwrite the structure of the second revision until the second revision is made buildable. Any unwanted tentative revisions for the parts should be canceled before the transfer, in order to avoid overwriting.
 

In addition, depending on the part transfer template used, alternate components defined in engineering may also be transferred over, and may overwrite existing alternate components defined in manufacturing.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that a detailed transfer be started.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• The system confirms the transfer of an engineering revision to a site.
• If needed, data about a part, part revision, and structure is created. 
• If the detailed transfer is processed for a single level, routing information based on a routing template also can be created. 
• In the Engineering Revision Transfers window, the status of the particular part is changed from Active to Transferred.
• In the Engineering Revision Transfer Actions window the status of the particular part is changed from Active to Transferred.
