Create/Maintain PCO
• Creating and maintaining PCOs is done in PCO Maintenance (1.9.2.13)
• After completing the first screen, a menu will appear that gives you access to functions which allow detail modification of the product change order
• Use your arrow keys to select a menu option
• Each menu item (except Trailer Maintenance) leads to another menu
• Select from the menu to bring up a screen to perform a function
Create/Maintain PCO
Product Change Order Structure
• PCOs have three main parts
• Header
• Body (optional text)
• Trailer
• Changes are specified in the Body
• We will discuss Item, Product Structure, Routing, and Item Spec changes
Formula and Process changes are optional to this discussion
PCO Maintenance
• PCO creation can be broken down into the following steps:
• Enter Header
• Add Text (optional)
• Specify Changes
• Enter Trailer
Direct Item Master Access, a function under the Item File Maintenance Menu, gives you access to all items in the database. The modifications you perform using Direct Item Master Access take place in the item master files, not in the PCO.
Important: This function is the only function in PCO Maintenance that directly affects QAD SE production files.
Enter Header
• Number the PCO document
• Identify type and design group
• Add any user-specific information
PCO Maintenance (1.9.2.13)
• Number is filled in automatically if PCC Control (1.9.24) is set for Autonumbering
• Break up large PCOs by assigning multiple PCOs with the same number and different IDs
• Type and Design Group will determine approval cycle, distribution group, and autonumbering for the PCO number (if applicable)
• The user-defined fields (highlighted in the picture above) do not affect processing and are optional fields
Select PCR/PCO Function Maintenance
• A section menu allows you to complete other parts of the PCO
• Only enabled processes appear on the section menu
• Accessing PCO/PCR Function Maintenance allows you to
• Change a PCO Number
• Close a PCO to another PCO
• Copy either to or from PCR/PCO to or from another PCO
Add Text
• Adding text is optional
• Manually enter or modify transaction comments
• Copy Master Comments to PCO
Text Data Maintenance
• Add, Modify, Delete PCO Text Files
• Selection menu moves you to Text File Maintenance menu
• Choose to create a new text file or modify or delete an existing text file
Add, Modify, Delete PCO Text Files
Works the same way as other transaction comments in QAD Standard Edition.
Copy Text from Master Comments into PCO
• Selection menu moves you to Text File Maintenance menu
• Choose to copy text from Master Comments
Master Comments Copy Selection
Enter master reference and type in a pop-up frame, or select from a list of comments.
Specify Changes

• Proposed Item Master changes
• Directly affects Production files
• Possibly to enter new item numbers with Direct Item Master Access, rather than Item Data Maintenance (1.4.3), as part of a PCO
Note: Some companies require all Item Data Maintenance to be maintained through the PCC function, not through Item Data Maintenance (1.4.3).
Item Data Maintenance — Add, Modify, Delete PCO Data Files
• Change existing items
• Only one PCO per item
• Does not support
• Item-Site data
• Item Planning data
• Inventory data
• Cost and price data
Exercise: Create a PCO with Item Changes
Important: The data used in these exercises may not be the same as the data shown in the screen captures in this lesson. You must have completed all the setup exercises before you can work on the processing exercises.
In the Item Master there are three types of Batteries, 30-100, 30-1000, and 30-10000. They are in product line 2000, Electronic Products. Your company procedures require you to route the changes through a PCO.
1 Use PCO Maintenance (1.9.2.13) to create a new PCO to route these proposed changes to the Item Master.
Let QAD SE assign the PCO number. The number will be assigned when you complete the Type and Design group fields and click Next.
2 Advance to the Type field and enter the following:
Field | Data |
Type | PCO |
Design Group | DESIGN |
3 Write down the PCO number assigned for later reference: ____________________
4 Title and Reason fields are optional. Leave them blank, or create a simple description for this PCO:
Field | Data |
Title | Change Product Line |
Reason | All Batteries moving to Component Materials |
5 Select Item Data Maintenance and then choose Add, Modify, Delete PCO Item Data.

Note: You cannot delete a product structure from within PCO Maintenance since structures can contain “as of” information. Instead, deactivate the structure by entering an end-effective date. Because delete is not available, structure add and structure edit functions are separate. This distinguishes the structure maintenance functions in PCO Maintenance from all other maintenance programs.
Copy Product Structure into PCO
• Specify Parent Item
• Current Bill of Materials displays
• Select or de-select items from the bill to copy into the PCO
Copy Where Used into PCO
• Works the same as Copy Product Structure into PCO except:
