Revising an engineering advice note – An overview

The user who has raised the ESR, can reject the associated EAN, if the recommendations are insufficient to solve the problem. When an EAN is rejected, the engineering cell revises the EAN when a single ESR has been associated to the EAN. When multiple ESRs are associated to the EAN, revision is not possible. In this case, a new EAN must be created or the ESR must be associated to an existing EAN.

The system generates a unique revision number for each revision of the EAN. The status of the revised EAN is updated to “Fresh”. The revised EAN is released and the status of the original EAN is updated to “Revised” status. The system stores the user ID and the server date along with the revision details.
