I'm working on creating a module called an EPO. We are planning on using this for running prototypes. Inside the part life cycle I added "Released to Prototype" and I changed "Released" to "Released to Production."
I would like to use the Impact Matrix from the ECO. I have modified some of the code to get it to work with the name EPO. I'm having an issue when I'm going from In Planning to In Work. The error says "All Old Number items must be in Released State when Action is set to Revise. Part #### is in Released to Prototype state." Do you know where I can find the code that I need to modify? Do you have any suggestions on an easier way to go about this? Thank you for your help.

Creating new ECO based on Express ECO is not an easy task. Most of the states are hard coded in method PE_ChangeItemTransition

Yeah its been a pretty painful process so far. Below are all of the methods that I've modified so far. I'm guessing its the ChangeItemTransistion that is giving me problems. I just can't find where this alert is being called out.
RefreshImpactGridForceServer
Express ECO Grid Function
Express ECO ImpactMatrix Handler
PE_ChangeItemTransistion
PE_ChooseCMOptions_API
PE_CheckChangeItemUsage
PE_update_has_change_pending
PE_AffectedItemFloat

The error message that you talk about is probably come from function (in PE_ChangeItemTransistion method)
void IAffectedItemValidationRules.Is_AffectedId_InReleasedState(ResultStatus status)
About methods that need to be modified, here is my list:
- Express ECO Grid Functn
- Express ECO ImpactMatrix Handler
- PE_AddChangeItem
- PE_AffectedItemFloat
- PE_ChangeItemTransition
- PE_CheckChangeItemUsage
- PE_ChooseCMItem_API
- PE_update_has_change_pending
- RefreshImpactGridForceServerCall
- restrictAffectedType.
- restrictAffectedTypeOnServer
- PE_ChooseCMOptions_API
Additional place to change are:
- form "PE_ChooseCMOptions"
- and file under <Innovator>ClientSolutionsPLMscriptsChangesChanges.html
I don't know with version of Aras you are using, you need to know there is IR-019911 that fix some issue in PE_ChangeItemTransistion.

Thank you for your help. The void IAffectedItemValidationRules.Is_AffectedId_InReleasedState(ResultStatus status) was the issue I was having. I'm thinking about scrapping this idea and going down a different avenue. This was a much bigger task then I was expecting it to be. We aren't using the ECN for anything right now, so I'm thinking about renaming it to the EPO. We just won't be able to use the impact matrix.
I will just need to figure out how to write to the parts affected when the ECN is released. I'm going to create a new property inside the part that is called production or prototype. Does this still mean I'm going to have to modify the item transition method within the Lifecycle or is there another way to handle this?
What I'm looking for as the final result
Express ECO Released - Part property set to Production
ECN Released - Part property set to Prototype
Thanks again for your help. Its greatly appreciated.
