Canceling a released part
You cancel a part record revision when it's no longer relevant to your product or process, and you want to ensure no one uses it inappropriately.
Adding a particular released revision of a part record to an implementing action's Affected tab will automatically cancel that part record revision when the change form is released. Since cancellation won't change the part record's structure, the part record's Markup tab remains locked; no structure or source items are changed by canceling the parent part record.
Canceling a released part record revision is very similar to releasing it.
Create an implementing change form, such as an ECN.
Drag the part that you want to cancel from the Item Explorer's Search tab or Previous tab to the new change form's Affected tab. The released part record revision will automatically be flagged as requiring formal cancellation.
If a part record has never been released, you don't have to cancel it - simply delete it. Open the part, make sure it is the front-most window in the item workspace, and select the menu command . If you drag an unreleased part onto a change form's Affected tab, it will always be released - never canceled or deleted - upon the change's approval.
Submit the change form to an analyst for review, approval routing, and release (for the complete workflow, see "How to process a change form").
