The requesting office that introduces the ECR, it defines the objects of the change, the items involved (parts, components or documents) the motivation and the urgency/ priority level.
The change requests are registered in the system and based on the purposes and on the object to the change, it can be realized different approval workflow and it can be involved company functions which are responsible of the estimation (R&D Engineering, Quality, and Customer Service depending on the organizational model).

The ECR approval determines the opening of a change order for the approval changes and the generation of the new BOM.
