Items Checked Out Staying In Table

Background: I am working on automating checking in and out and revisioning parts so that it doesn’t have to be one by one and hopefully save our engineers a lot of time in the long run. I am currently trying to map where all the data comes from and goes around to so when automating it, it’s just a copy paste of how the data interacts.

Problem: I am checking where items go when checked out or according to engineering workbench “Un Approved” when doing this and checking an item or part back in, it remains in the “Checkout Table”. Not sure why but from what I’m being told its not supposed to work that way, and I don’t see a column in this table that identifies why or how it knows or should go in there and seems to not know when to move items out.

Thinking it’s a bpm that I’m just unaware of under the hood but any help is appreciated. Thank you!

From memory, checking in copies the ECOMtl + EcoOpr rows into PartMtl and PartOpr. Checking in/out is a separate action from Approving/Unapproving the rev, which is “Approved” Boolean on PartRev, and can be done simultaneously from engineering workbench with “Check In and Approve”. Rows remain in ECOOpr and ECOMtl after being copied to PartOpr and PartMtl.
