Publish CN is the process by which ERP Connector publishes Change Orders to the appropriate distribution targets.

Windchill ESI services support publishing Revision Controlled objects (such as parts, documents, process plans and resources) that are listed among the Change Order’s changeable objects. Along with the object data, Windchill ESI services publish the dependent objects (for example, alternate parts or documents) if the RPC requests those objects. ERP Connector only publishes those objects that have not already been published; it publishes the dependent objects regardless of whether or not they appear as changeables on the Change Order. For example, if the listed Revision Controlled object is an assembly part, ERP Connector publishes the assembly part (as a BOM) and its component parts.

ERP Connector does not publish sequences or operations listed as changeable objects on the Change Order. For sequences and operations to be published, they should be associated with a process plan that is listed as a changeable on the Change Order.
