Engineering Bill of Material - Versions Management (1NR)

An engineering bill of material (EBOM) is a type of bill of material (BOM) that reflects the product as designed by engineering, referred to as the as-designed bill of material. The lifecycle of the EBOM is covered via a new versioning technology. By setting a released status at the header level, the EBOM is ready for handover to manufacturing. After releasing a BOM version, no further changes are allowed. A new version must be created. All process steps are carried out by the BOM engineer. The process distinguishes between major BOM changes where it is copied or created and minor changes where the BOM is being changed.
