Introduction
The main function of the Revision Change module is that it enables the user to change a unit revision. The module also provides the following portlets: User-Defined, User Revision, Add a Comment and add MEO (Manufacturing Engineering Order, i.e. ECO or Deviation number).
The user defines the unit serial numbers to be updated by selecting from three different Rule Options:
- Part Number – Updates unit serial numbers by Part Number
- Serial Number – Updates unit serial numbers by Serial Number
- Shop Order – Updates unit serial numbers by Shop Order
The Revision Change portlet can be used with any rules; however, the user cannot add the same part number, serial number or shop order more than once. Users may add a shop order rule and then add the part number to the previously added shop order; this also applies to serial numbers. Revision Change will merge the part and serial numbers in order to avoid duplications.
Note: This portlet has the following limitations:
- Revision changes are not allowed for ERP-Interface Shop Orders or for unit serial numbers tied to them.
- Revision changes are not allowed for WIP units with a finished status.
To access the Revision Change Maintenance, navigate to Shop Floor Control > Configuration > Shop Floor Configuration > Revision Change.
Note: A user only has access to the modules assigned to his/her profile.
