Selecting engineering document for creating child engineering document – An overview

In this page, you can search for the engineering document for which the child engineering document is to be created. You can create a child engineering document for engineering documents in the following status:

Released: When an engineering document is finally released for execution, the status of the engineering document is changed to “Released”.
Closed: When the engineering document is closed after execution. If the option "Close Parent Engineering Document before creating Child Engineering Document" is selected as "Yes" in option settings then engineering document with status 'Closed' alone can be fetched and Child engineering document can be created for that.

If you know the engineering document and the corresponding revision number, for which the child engineering document must be created, you can directly enter it. Otherwise, you can carry out a search based on the engineering document number, revision number, subject, status, category, user status, engineering document applicability or the ATA chapter number. Based on the search criteria, the system retrieves engineering documents in the multiline.
