Before you run this program each time

You should run this program:

  • Bill of Material Maintenance (MPS) to enter bills of materials for items.

You may also have run this program:

  • Approvals Signoff (APPV) to approve engineering change orders that require approval.

Before you run this program the first time

You should run these programs:

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Enterprise Options) to select a date display format for your enterprise, Branch Maintenance (TBM) to select a date display format for your branch, or User Maintenance (UIM) to select a date display format for an individual user.

  • Approval Hierarchy Maintenance (APPHM) to set up a hierarchy that determines approval cycles for bills of material.

  • Approvals Maintenance (APPM) to enter approval cycle records for each level in the hierarchy.

You will most likely run these programs:

  • Approvals Signoff (APPV) to approve or engineering change orders that require approval.
