Engineering Change Order Codes

Use the Engineering Change Order Codes function to enter and maintain Engineering Change Order (ECO) codes. The engineering change order codes are used in conjunction with two fields which appear on the Engineering Change Orders screen. The Change Codes function gives you the ability to change, add, or delete the choices available in the Type field and/or the Status field. Either field can be interpreted for whatever purposes but in general the Type field would indicate the type of engineering change order and the Status field would indicate the status of that change order. These records can then be selected from the respective type or status drop-down list in the Engineering Change Order function.
