During ECMS data migration, which artifacts are typically moved?

• A. Only ECO history
• B. Legacy configuration data, BOMs, routings, and ECO history
• C. Only user accounts
• D. Only production orders

Answer: (B)

During ECMS data migration, the focus is on bringing over the master data that defines how products are built and how changes are managed. The typical artifacts moved are legacy configuration data, BOMs, routings, and ECO history. Legacy configuration data includes the product attributes, configuration rules, and parameters that determine how variants are selected and how engineering decisions affect manufacturing. BOMs describe the components and subassemblies required for each product version, while routings lay out the sequence of operations and the resources needed to manufacture. ECO history preserves the engineering change records, providing traceability so the new system reflects all past decisions and can continue managing changes properly.

Choices that focus only on user accounts or only on production orders miss this essential set of master data. User accounts are about security access, and production orders are transactional manufacturing data generated during production, not the foundational configuration and change history the ECMS system relies on to reproduce and manage products.
