| 2C1 | Distribute Engineering Change Status |
|---|---|
| This PIP informs a engineering change requester of the status of an engineering change being implemented by a engineering change stakeholder. |
Business Process
The "Distribute Engineering Change Status" Partner Interface Process (PIP) enables a stakeholder to modify the disposition of an engineering change, and then notify the engineering change requester of the change in status.
A change in status can occur anywhere along the business path of the engineering change.When the engineering change status is modified, the disposition must be provided (via this PIP) within three days.
Should this transaction not complete successfully, the requesting partner executes PIP0A1, "Notification of Failure".
| 2C2 | Request Engineering Change |
|---|---|
| This PIP enables a party proposing an engineering change (change requester) to send an engineering change request to a change review forum, and the change review forum to respond to the request. |
Business Process
The "Request Engineering Change" Partner Interface Process (PIP) enables a party to submit an engineering change request and a change review forum to respond to the request. The party requesting the change (change requester) submits an engineering change request when a stakeholder identifies an opportunity or problem requiring an engineering evaluation. The change review forum responds by either accepting, rejecting, or pending the engineering change request.
If the change review forum responds, via this PIP, that the engineering request is "pending," then the change review forum must later use PIP2C3, "Distribute Engineering Change Response," to provide a final disposition (approve or reject) to the request. The final disposition must be provided within three months after completion of this PIP.
Should this transaction not complete successfully, the requesting partner executes PIP0A1, "Notification of Failure".
| 2C3 | Distribute Engineering Change Response |
|---|---|
| This PIP resolves a pending engineering change request by sending the change review forum's final disposition (approve or reject) to the party that submitted the request (change requester). |
Business Process
The "Distribute Engineering Change Response" Partner Interface Process™ (PIP®) enables an engineering change review forum to provide a "final" disposition to an engineering change request pended in PIP2C2, "Request Engineering Change".
The change review forum sends the final disposition to the party that submitted the engineering change request (change requester). The final disposition may be either “approve” or “reject".
Should this transaction not complete successfully, the requesting partner executes PIP0A1, "Notification of Failure".
| 2C4 | Request Engineering Change Approval |
|---|---|
| This PIP requests a decision stakeholder to approve an engineering change that has been submitted to a change review forum for evaluation. |
Business Process
The "Request Engineering Change Approval" Partner Interface Process (PIP) enables a change review forum to request a decision stakeholder's approval of an engineering change, and a decision stakeholder to respond to the request. A decision stakeholder is the party that holds approval responsibility for engineering changes.
This PIP can be used to obtain a response from a decision stakeholder who belongs to an organization external to the change review forum.
The decision stakeholder may respond directly to the request or forward approval responsibility to another party. Approval responsibility includes a number of possible responses: approve, reject, waiver, and other options.
It is not required that PIP2C2, "Request Engineering Change" be executed prior to using this PIP.
Should this transaction not complete successfully, the requesting partner executes PIP0A1, "Notification of Failure".
| 2C5 | Notify of Engineering Change Order |
|---|---|
| This PIP enables a change review forum to notify a stakeholder of the purpose and contents of an engineering change order. |
Business Process
The "Notify of Engineering Change Order" Partner Interface Process (PIP) enables a change review forum to notify a stakeholder of the purpose and contents of an engineering change order (ECO).
The ECO notification includes a full description of the ECO and any associated documents.Optional text and documents may either be attached to the notification or accessed through uniform resource locator (URL) links embedded in the notification.
Upon receiving ECO information from a change review forum, a stakeholder may begin to plan and take actions necessary to implement the engineering change.
Should this transaction not complete successfully, the requesting partner executes PIP0A1, "Notification of Failure".
| 2C6 | Notify of Engineering Change Implementation Plan |
|---|---|
| This PIP enables coordination of engineering changes throughout the supply chain by providing the means to send engineering change implementation plans to the stakeholders who are responsible for performing or updating the status of a planned task. |
Business Process
The "Notify Of Engineering Change Implementation Plan" Partner Interface Process™ (PIP®) enables a party responsible for planning the implementation of an engineering change to send planning information to another stakeholder who is responsible for completing or validating completion of scheduled implementation tasks.
An engineering change implementation plan is a flexible document that may be iteratively updated to organize and track the individual tasks necessary to implement an engineering change order (ECO).
Either a stakeholder or change review forum may create an engineering change implementation plan for a given ECO. Once an implementation plan is created, any stakeholder can add tasks at any time prior to the completion of all tasks in the plan.To support individual management of tasks, each task in the plan has its own owner, due date, and status.
This PIP® is usually executed when the status of the ECO associated with an engineering change implementation plan is, "Approved."
Should this transaction not complete successfully, the requesting partner executes PIP0A1, "Notification of Failure".

Business Process
The "Request Bill Of Material" Partner Interface Process™ (PIP®) supports a process in which
- An Integrator requests the Bill Of Material (BOM) information for a product, and
- The Design Owner for that product returns the requested information to the Integrator.
The Integrator initiates the process by sending a BOM request to the Design Owner. To facilitate communications, the request document includes both query constraint lines and incomplete results lines. After processing the request, the Design Owner completes the results lines and returns the information to the requesting party.
The Design Owner is the entity responsible for the design of the product and the Integrator is responsible for its manufacture or assembly.
The Integrator may use PIP2C2, "Request Engineering Change", to inform a Design Owner of errors in a BOM or another reason to change it.
