Fix change form routing errors
Each child item on a parent item's BOM,Sources or Referenceslist must be released with (or before) the parent item. A child item can be canceled only when it's not used by a released parent item.
Anexecuting change formcan be routed when its Affected list:
- willrelease orcancelan item (part or document) that doesn't use, and isn't used by, a different item;
or
- will release aparent item that uses apendingchild item, and
- that pending child item is released with (or before) the parent item;
or
will cancel a released child item that is used by a released parent item, and
that released parent item is revised to remove the child item, or is canceled with (or before) the released child item.
PDXpert examines the routed change form's Affected list and shows theRouting Error window if any processing errors are found. If an item is listed more than once, fixing that item may resolve other reported errors.
The Routing Error window shows released child items that may not belong on the change form's Affectedlist, or are being canceled without a replacement. For example, the change is canceling a released child part that's used by a released assembly.
Remove from change:child item, used by parent item on relation list
To solve this error, do one of the following options:
Remove the released child item from the change form'sAffected list. The change will not cancel the child item, which remains available for the parent item.
Add a new pending iteration of the child item to the change form'sAffected list, to replace the previous iteration that's on theparent item.
If the child item already has a pending revision, but it's not shown on theAffected list, unlock the change form and drag the child onto the list to add the pending revision.
If the parent item is released, revise the parent item to remove/replace the child item, and then add the parent to the change form's Affected list.
If the parent item is pending, remove the releasedchild item from the parent item'srelation list (theBOM, Sources or Referenceslist).
Add the released parent item to the change form's Affected list to cancel both parent and child items.
The Routing Error window shows pending child items that may be missing from the change form's Affected list. For example, the change is releasing an assembly that needs a pending part.
Add to change: child item, needed by parent item on relation list
To solve this error, do one of the following options:
If the child item's most recent iteration is canceled, make a new child pending iteration before following option 1 or option 2.
Add the pending child item to the change form'sAffected list to release it with the parent item.
If thechild item is on another change form's Affectedlist, release the other change before releasing theparent item on this change form.
Or, remove the child item from the other change form, and then use option 1.
Remove the child item from the pendingparent item's relation list (theBOM, Sources orReferences list).
Remove the parent item from the change form's Affected list.
If the child item isn't ready for release at aproduction lifecycle and the parent item must be released, consider releasing parent and child items at a pre-production lifecycle. Follow up with a production release later.
