7.
Enter your description of the change, one line at a time, and press Return
on a line by itself when you’re finished.
Caution:
bom_upload
is a C-shell script, and it currently quits for a variety of input characters. It
may leave some files in temp directories.
Be informative. Remember, you’re telling many people about the change.
Some people may be looking at higher-level parts in the BOM structure, so
use this chance to tell them that the change affects them, too.
Be reasonable. People can see that you’ve added, deleted, or changed parts
and which ones they are. Tell them
why
.

Review all the information that gets displayed. Check that the part
number, rev number, plant code, etc., are correct. Confirm this when
prompted.

Check that you receive a PCN number, e.g., P1880001, and that you and
the EDA analyst who will upload the BOM into SAP are named correctly
as the recipients of the email notice that will be sent.
The format for the PCN number is the letter “P” followed by the 3-digit
project code, followed by the 4-digit, serially numbered BOM within the
project.
