Autocomplete Changes Efficiently to Ensure Change Workflow Resiliency

Ensure that a change order automatically moves to the Completed status when its last incomplete change line is canceled. With this update, the Autocomplete on Cancel option in change type setup is checked by default.

Analyze Where Items Are Used As Substitutes

When you perform a Where Used query in the UI for an item, you can now select to include substitute component information for the first level of the item structure in the search results. When you generate an Item Where Used report in OTBI, you can include substitute components across all structure levels. Additionally, you can see substitute component attributes and descriptive flexfields in the change order details report.

Use the updated item and change REST APIs to access change tasks, change workflow statuses, and expand item structures.

Reinstate Obsolete Items to Earlier Lifecycle Phases

Demote items that are in the Obsolete lifecycle phase to an earlier lifecycle phase such as Design or Production. For engineering items, you can route the demotion through a change order. For commercial items, you can do this with or without a change order.
