Allowing Different Enterprise Item Numbers Across Revisions

By default, the system forces all revisions within a product revision chain to have the same enterprise item number (EIN). Each revision within the chain must either be assigned the same EIN or the EIN must remain unassigned (appear as 'None'). However, as an administrator, you can change this setting to allow users to specify different EIN values across a given revision chain.

  1. Open the Collaborative Spaces Configuration Center widget.
  2. Under Collaborative Space Configuration Center, click Engineering Definition. You may need to scroll through the list to find it.
  3. Expand the Enterprise Item Number:Admin Configurations section.
  4. Select Allow different Enterprise Item Number for a Product within its revision chain.
