For more information on creating, editing, viewing, and deleting time entries, see the User documentation.

In Windchill RV&S, state-based capabilities allow change packages that are under review or change packages that are open to exist while an item is in a given state. For more information on the change package review and approval process, see the User documentation.

If the item state does not allow open change packages, Windchill RV&S prompts users to close the item’s change package before they move any item to that state. In addition, if an item state does not allow open change packages, users cannot create new change packages for any items in that state.
