Auto Reset On R/O checkbox

Select this checkbox to indicate that this E/C should be reset (selected for compliance) when this E/C is associated with a Repair Order. This will be the default setting when this Part Number is on a Repair Order. This option can be overridden at the Repair Order level and de-selected.

Note: All P/N E/Cs of Mandatory Classification will receive automatic E/C Compliance upon receipt of Vendor Repair Order.

Auto R/O Print checkbox

If this checkbox is selected, the E/C will automatically be printed on Repair Orders that are issued for the part indicated. This will be the default setting when this Part Number is on a Repair Order. This option can be overridden at the Repair Order level and deselected.

Load At Receiving checkbox

Select this checkbox if new Part Numbers (Inventory) initially entered into the system should have Effectivity linked to this E/C.
