    Hi Shruti,

    inside your Method you could check the current state. If the state is wrong, you could throw an error message. To discover if Items are affected by an Express ECO, you probably have to search if there an active ECO with your Part as affected item. If you don´t need such a detailed check, already the change_pending property could do the job.
