You use this program to manually archive Bills of Materials for ECC-controlled items.
Alternatively, you can configure the system to archive an ECC bill of materials automatically when an engineering change order is moved to a status that accepts changes made to a bill of material (Bill of Materials Setup).

| Start Processing |
Select this to commence processing. Structure and routing details are copied to an archive file in the pre-defined folder for archived ECC bill of materials. Components are archived with the current revision/release when the option: Set (---/---) to current rev/rel is enabled (Bill of Materials Setup) and you selected Yes at the Use current field when adding ECC components to the bill of materials (Structures and Routings). The components are archived with (---/---) as the revision and release when the option: Set (---/---) to current rev/rel is not enabled and the (---/---) is replaced with the current revison/release at the time of retrieval. Entries are purged from the system only once they have been copied to the archive file. The naming convention for the archive file name is as follows: Xyynnnnn.XML where X indicates the company id; yy indicates the type of archive file (e.g. BO for bill of materials) and nnnnn indicates the archive number.
