Change Item Revision
When you run the Item Revision utility, two things happen:
- The current bill of material/routing for the item is saved to History.
- The current bill of material/routing is copied to a new record, which becomes the current BOM. If you specify a different revision number and/or drawing number for the new record, those fields are updated for this item on the Items form.
After filling out the information in this form, select Preview and click . The bottom part of the form then displays all outstanding engineering change notices for that item. Verify that you want these ECN items to post against the current revision:
- If you want the ECN items to post to the current revision (which will be saved to History), approve and post them before you commit this change.
- If you want them to post to the new revision, cancel out of this utility without committing the change. Update the Revision field on each of the ECN items to the new revision number. Approve and post the ECN items. Then run this utility again, previewing again to make sure you updated all the ECN items.
When there are no ECN items listed that need to be processed, save the revision change by selecting Commit and then clicking .
You can view old revisions through the Item Revision Report. If you need to use an old BOM that is saved to History, you can specify its revision number on the Copy Routing/BOM activity.
