Notes and warnings

Restrictions and limits

  • The drawing register number defined against the stock code in Stock Codes is used for documentary purposes only and is not validated against the ECC Drawing Register/Stock Code combination.

    In the Stock Codes program, you can change the drawing number to any drawing number and it will not update the associated stock codes within the ECC Drawing Register. The reasons are that multiple stock codes can be defined against one drawing number, and a drawing number can exist with no linked stock codes.

    The Drawing number is only validated if a drawing with the same number exists within the ECC Drawing Register. A Warning message is displayed, but you can ignore the warning and save the drawing number against the stock code master.

Custom form considerations

  • If you have designed an ECC Drawing Register custom form that includes mandatory fields, then you must capture data at these fields before you can save the drawing register details to file.
