:info:

The Active checkbox under the Part Details section of the Part record is linked to the Part Lifecycle applied to the Part record. Some of the following rules applied are:

  • An Active Part typically relates to the Production Lifecycle.

  • In CQ PLM, not all Part Lifecycles are tied to Active Parts.

  • For a Part Lifecycle to be considered as Active Lifecycle, the Active checkbox in Part Details section must be checked.

  • Initially, the Active checkbox in Part Details section is not checked because the Part Revision status is not set to Current Revision.

  • The Part Revision status is set to Current Revision only when the Part Revision reaches a Released Stage through a Change Order process.
