# Re-estimate a production order - Impact workspace

Use **Estimate** after the production BOM or route changes. Estimation recalculates the expected material, route, overhead, and production costs.

## Steps

1. Go to **Product information management > Engineering change management > Engineering change orders**.
2. Open a released ECO you want to review.
3. On the Action Pane, in the **Business impact** group, select **Open impact workspace**.

The workspace opens for the selected ECO.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> If the ECO has no lines yet, the button is unavailable. Add at least one affected product first.
4. In the **Production orders** section, locate the affected production order.
5. Select **Estimate**.

The **Estimate** pane opens on the right.
6. On the **Overview** tab, review the selected production order and estimation parameters.
7. Select **Default values** if you need to restore the default estimation parameters.
8. On the **General** tab, review the available estimation options.
9. Expand **Run in the background** if you want to run the estimation as a batch task.
10. Set **Late selection** to **Yes** only when the batch process should evaluate the selection criteria at runtime.

**Late selection** doesn't control which cost records the estimation uses.
11. Select **OK** to run the estimation.

To close the pane without running the estimation, select **Cancel**.

After estimation is complete:

- The estimated production costs are recalculated.
- The **Action status** changes to **Re-estimated**.
