Create a change notice from the standalone form, an item, a method version, or a quality issue. Every entry point opens the same change-notice detail page.

Entry points

The create form

The header form describes and assigns the change. Add affected items after creation. Any custom fields defined for change notices appear at the end of the form. The form does not include affected items. Add them on the detail page. Item-based entry points pre-attach the selected item; the quality-issue entry point links the non-conformance. Saving creates the change notice in Draft and opens its detail page.

Where change notices surface on a part

Parts and tools display the change notices that affect them:
  • Open change notice alert. When a part is on one or more change notices that are still open (Draft, Start, Engineering Complete, or Implementation), its detail page shows a card: “This item is on 1 open change notice” (or “This item is on # open change notices”), with each change notice id linked. This is the guardrail against two people revising the same part blind. It’s informational, not a lock — parallel change notices on the same part are allowed.
  • Change Notices history. A card lists every change notice that has touched the part, newest first, with released ones de-emphasized — the full “why did this part change?” trail.
  • Used In. The part’s Used In view lists the change notices that reference it, each linked with its status.
