You can use severities to determine how severe the impact of a change on an engineering change order is or can be.
Example: For high-impact changes, set the severity to "Very high" and for only a small change, set the severity to "Very low".
You first set up the severities and then you set up the rule sets for these severities. A severity rule set defines how a severity is calculated based on the changes that are made with an engineering change order.
Set up the severities that you can use to:
Manually define the severity.
Set up severity rule sets which calculate the severity based on the applied changes.
Steps
Go to Product engineering > Setup > Engineering change management > Severities.
Click New.
In the Severity field, type a value.
Close the page.
Notes
You can use the Up and Down buttons to define the display sequence of the severities.
