Incorporating PCOs into Production
Incorporating PCOs into Production
Once a PCO is approved, use the PCO Implementation menu (1.9.7) to update production data, as follows:
1 Use Release and Distribution (1.9.7.1) to release the PCO and notify members of the distribution group.
2 Use Incorporation Planning Report (1.9.7.3) to analyze the impact of the PCO on current inventory and help determine the best effective date for incorporation.
Note: An enhanced version of Incorporation Planning Report is available at menu 1.9.7.27 for .NET UI users only.
3 Use Incorporation Selection (1.9.7.4) to specify an effective date.
4 Run Incorporation (1.9.7.5) on a daily basis to incorporate PCO changes into production records. Changes become effective on the date specified in step 3.
5 Run Implementation (1.9.7.13) on a daily basis to copy changes to item data records from PCOs effective on the current date into the item master records.
