Change Association Rule Administration
You can use change associations to configure relationships between change objects. For example, you can configure the relationship between a manufacturing change notice to an engineering change notice, a problem report to a change notice, or an item-specific change request to a block change request.
Change association rules define relationships when linking change objects in the following tables:
• Associated Process Objects
• Associated Reference Objects
• Implementation Plan

Windchill provides some rules by default.
To enforce these rules, Windchill must be in Mixed or Flexible mode. For more information, see Flexible Change Link Conversion.
