• Key Concepts: 
  Engineering Change Order (ECO) is a process in SAP that allows users to make changes to existing products or services. It is part of the Engineering Change Processing (ECP) component of the SAP Application Platform (AP). ECOs are used to document and track changes to products or services, and can be used to manage the entire lifecycle of a product or service. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use ECOs, users must first create an ECO document. This document contains information about the change that is being made, such as the type of change, the reason for the change, and any other relevant information. Once the document is created, users can then assign tasks to different users or teams in order to complete the change. Once all tasks are completed, the ECO document can be approved and the changes can be implemented. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an ECO document, it is important to include as much detail as possible. This will help ensure that all tasks are completed correctly and that the change is implemented correctly. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all ECO documents and their associated tasks in order to ensure that all changes are properly documented and tracked.
