Line-down spare on a phase-out servo
Procurement Pat here — when the line stops because a Siemens 1FK7043-7AH71-1UG5 has failed, the first thing the planner needs confirmed is whether the BOM line is still a supported order or a last-time-buy, and the record shows eol_hot, which puts this 1FK7-series servo firmly on the phase-out sourcing path.
What the EOL/HOT flag actually means for the RFQ
An eol_hot status is the manufacturer's signal that the part is in a final-order window — it can still be ordered, but inventory at the factory is being drawn down and independent-channel stock becomes the longer-tail supply.
