How is configuration documentation management supported in ECMS?

• A. By attaching drawings, specifications, test reports, and approvals to ECOs, BOMs, and master data, and linking to revision levels
• B. By encrypting all data and removing version control
• C. By only storing in email threads
• D. By limiting access to a single user

Answer: (B)

Configuration documentation management in ECMS is supported by attaching drawings, specifications, test reports, and approvals to engineering change orders (ECOs), to bills of materials (BOMs), and to master data, and by linking these documents to their corresponding revision levels. This creates a single, traceable repository where each change carries the necessary context, approvals, and version history. It ensures visibility of which documents belong to which revision, supports audits, and maintains consistency across the product structure. The other options break essential needs: removing version control eliminates traceability, storing only in email threads fragments the documentation and its history, and restricting access to one user blocks collaboration and accountability.
