When an engineering change notice (ECN) is released, the impact rarely stops at engineering — material masters, BOMs, and supplier records often need to change too. This agent detects new ECNs, figures out what’s affected downstream, and routes the changes through review before anything is written.Documentation Index

What this agent does
When a new ECN is released in Teamcenter:- Fetch the ECN and the items it affects
- For each affected item, look up the corresponding SAP material and BOM
- Compute a structured diff of what would change downstream
- Classify the change (low impact / medium / high impact)
- Auto-apply low-impact changes; route the rest to a reviewer
Before you start
- Teamcenter and SAP are Connected
- Your team has a working definition of “low impact” — typically attribute-only changes that don’t touch BOM structure or supplier-facing data
- The engineering doc sync agent is already running, so Teamcenter items are linked to SAP materials
Build the agent
Fetch the change scope
Add an action step that fetches the ECN and the list of items it affects from Teamcenter.
Resolve to SAP
Add an action step that, for each affected item, looks up the linked SAP material and any BOMs that include it.
Compute the downstream diff
Add an action step that produces a structured diff: which SAP attributes would change, which BOM lines would change, and which downstream documents would need a new revision.
Classify the change
Add an AI step:
- Input: the diff from the previous step
- Task: “Classify the impact of this change as low, medium, or high. Low means attribute-only changes that don’t affect BOM structure, supplier-facing data, or compliance fields.”
- Output: a classification and a confidence score
Add the routing decision
Add a decision step:
- Low impact and confidence ≥ 95% → continue to auto-apply
- Otherwise → flag for review in Monitor and notify the responsible engineer
Apply the change
On the auto-apply branch, add action steps that write the updates to SAP. On the review branch, leave the apply step disabled until a reviewer approves the item.
Tips
- Default to flagged. When in doubt, flag for review — auto-applying the wrong change to SAP is far more expensive than reviewing one extra item.
- Use roles to route. Configure your reviewer role in Users & roles. Only people with that role will see flagged items as needing their attention.
- Pair with the doc sync agent. This agent depends on Teamcenter items already being linked to SAP materials. If those links are missing, the engineering doc sync agent is the one to build first.
