If the system includes Engineering Central, the attributes and categories for parts are different from those described here. For information about the additional categories and fields, click on the part Properties page.
This page lists these details:
Owner. Person who has primary responsibility for the part, usually a Design Engineer.
Originator. The person who created the part.
Originated. Date the part was originally created.
Modified. Date the part was modified.
State. Identifies the state of the part. A part can be in one of four states:
- Preliminary. Part is created and assigned. The Owner (usually a Design Engineer) of the part builds the Bill of Materials and connects the appropriate Drawing Print.
- Review. The responsible Manufacturing Engineer reviews the Part by reviewing its attributes, Bill of Material, Drawing Print and reviews the design for manufacturability.
- Release. When a part is released, it is locked so no additional changes can be made. The Part is removed from the Engineer's desk.
- Obsolete. Part can no longer be used in any new Bill of Materials. The Part lifecycle is complete.
