    Hi,
    Each engineering product category establishes the default behavior of the engineering products that are created based on that category. After you've created an engineering product, you can't change its engineering product category. However, if you select the incorrect category, you can delete the product and then re-create it.
    When an engineering product category is created, you're prevented from changing the following settings:
    • Engineering company
    • Product type
    • Product subtype
    • Product dimension group
    • Configuration technology
    • Version number rule
    Other settings might inherit default values that are set up for the engineering product category. However, according to the system rules, those values can be changed.
    • To work with engineering product categories, go to Engineering change management > Setup > Engineering product category details. Then follow one of these steps.
    • To create a new category, select New on the Action Pane, and then set the fields as described in the following subsections.
    • To edit an existing category, select it in the list pane, select Edit on the Action Pane, and then set the fields as described in the following subsections.
    • To delete an existing category, select it in the list pane, and then select Delete on the Action Pane.
    Best Regards,
    Hana

    Hi @Hana Xue,
     
    Thanks for your response. 
     
    When I am trying to delete the items from Engineering company, I am getting below error. Even we dont have any transactions for the item.
     
    1. Items cannot be deleted while dependent Impacted Products exist. Delete dependent Impacted Products and try again.
