Each product can have multiple versions or revisions and PLM ensures that every change is properly documented, approved and communicated to the right teams. With ECOs (Engineering Change Orders), businesses can update product designs, bills of materials (BoM), or production processes in a structured way. This prevents confusion on the shop floor and ensures that only the latest product version is produced and sold.

ECO Types allow businesses to organize change orders in a structured way, with each type having its own workflow, responsible team and approval rules. This helps companies handle different kinds of product changes systematically, without mixing up engineering changes, document updates or manufacturing adjustments.The ECO Types are used to define and categorize different types of engineering change processes that can occur during the product lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Process Flow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/09\/Odoo-plm-eco-types-process-flow.png\" alt=\"Odoo plm eco types process flow\" class=\"wp-image-29363\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Business Rule<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Products can be linked with ECOs to manage updates in design, BoM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PLM ensures that changes in BoM automatically sync with production and inventory<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product documents (like CAD drawings, manuals, certifications) can be attached and version-controlled<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any product change requires review and approval before release to production<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PLM integrates with work centers so the correct product version is used during manufacturing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helps track the history of product changes, giving full traceability of who changed what and why<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product-related PLM reduces risk of producing outdated versions of a product<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provides structured workflows for change request, review, approval and implementation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Screenshot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Eco Types<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/09\/Odoo-plm-eco-types-screenshot-1024x535.png\" alt=\"Odoo plm eco types screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-29364\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Eco Stage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Odoo PLM, ECO Stages represent the different steps an Engineering Change Order (ECO) goes through from creation until completion.
