Promote/Demote Parts
Promote/Demote PartsThe following are stipulations for promoting/demoting parts:
Only the part owner or a Manufacturing Engineer in the part RDO may promote a Development part to Complete state.
A Production part must have at least one file checked into Specifications (where one exists), the Material Hierarchy must be set, and it must be attached to an EC before promotion out of Preliminary state.
An Assembly part cannot be promoted to a state any higher than any of its child parts.
NOTE: When trying to promote an assembly, ENOVIA does not automatically promote its children. The children must be explicitly promoted, and the parent assembly can not be promoted to a higher state than any child of the assembly.
