ECO not Auto Populating in Engineering Workbench

Hi everyone,

Highlighted box under part revision checkout normally auto populate but it seems like not anymore in Kinetic.


Is anybody here has the same issue? Wondering if a BPM can be done as a workaround for this.

From what I heard from the Epicor Consultant we are working with for our re-implementation is that it is an issue (or a fix for a “bug”). We’re working with 11.2.16 and it’s still an issue there. It was auto-populating in earlier 10.2 versions. He wasn’t aware of a change coming on it.

Thanks for confirming @lindsayc

I would think you could write a BPM to pull from the ECO group you selected when you open engineering workbench. Not sure what it looks like if you try express checkout instead of going to engineering workbench first. I don’t normally use that process.

I will give that a try and see. I am starting to suspect that this can be tricky to do.

Just went live on 11.1.200 (2021.2) today, and we ran into this also.

So, no hope for this?

Is this not tremendously annoying for everyone else?

It is VERY annoying! We are on 2022.2.4 and it isn’t fixed there either.

It is fixed in 2022.2.12

Our planner was very happy that it returned.

I had found that it works in the Kinetic format of EWB but not the classic - even on 2021.2. So I just gave up since it was fixed - just not in the format we like.

So @andrew.johnson are you saying they fixed it on the classic screen in 2022.2?

Yes, it is now fixed in the Classic UI. I think it was fixed in version 2022.2.12 specifically. Somewhere between 2022.2.8 and 2022.2.12, because it wasn’t working in .8, and now is.

Depending on how long you will be on your current version there is a way to put in into a session variable in an EWB customization and then grab it on load of the part add screen in another customization.
