You can only subscribe to parts that successfully return a search result to you on the “Search by Part/Doc” tab of SDA. If your access to the part becomes outdated then the application will invalidate the subscription also. If a previously expired part becomes available again then the subscription will not be automatically revived Your subscription is stored by user-id and not by supplier-id. (One User can have more than one supplier id) Once you subscribe to an event it could take as much as 1 hour for the subscription to be active. Once a subscription is active and an event occurs it could take as much as 15 minutes for the email to be sent out

ECO Description – Viewing on Screen Click to view description of change
ECO Description - Features The name of the field in DM.TEC that will be exposed is commonly referred to as "ECO description". However, the correct technical name is "Document Description of Change" (DDC). The DDC will be shown per document revision and not part revision. DDC(s) for part revision won’t be populated by engineers or displayed by SDA. There is 1-1 relationship between document at a given rev & last DDC. The last DDC for the document revision will be displayed. Multiple ECR(s) can be connected to one ECO. The DDC in ECO will comprehensive enough to cover the changes being requested in all ECR(s). The technical limit of the DDC is 4 gigabytes. Multiple documents can be changed via one ECO. In this case the DDC will refer to more than one document and will be displayed as such. The DDC cannot store attachments and therefore the question of displaying the same does not arise. Engineering policy states that ECR(s) and ECO(s) are supposed to be in English only and therefore the ECO description (DDC) will be displayed in English only.
