With the Engineering Change management functionality added to the solution, we can better support companies that have an 'Engineering' process in place. A lot of companies already have some other PLM/PDM solution in place, mostly used to manage the BOMs or Formulas. This PLM/PDM is also typically the 'master' solution for the Engineering products. However, sometimes changes that required to those products may arise from D365 FO (production, sales, purchase,..) In that situation, we would create a Engineering Change Request (in D365 FO) and like to send it to the PLM/PDM where the engineers will investigate and create a Engineering Change 'Order' (in PLM/PDM). They will do the necessary changes to the products and BOMs and send the results back to D365 FO. We would receive those changes in D365 FO as a Engineering Change Order and process the order subsequently in D365 FO.

Focus can be on the BOMs/Forula's as in most situations, the 'routes' are not going to be maintained in the external PLM/PDM system.

Therefore: we need an entity to Export all information from the EC Request and an entity to import an EC Order (with all related changes included)
