Create engineering item revision

Use the Create engineering item revision process to create a new engineering item revision for the engineering item you selected on the Engineering items form. The last revision of the engineering item will be used. Once the process has been executed, the revision used as the basis will be assigned the status 'Released, but not the last revision'. The new revision is assigned the status 'Not released'.

In principle, the information copied to the new revision includes the engineering BOM, the link to the production file, and the corresponding calculations. For the information to be copied, the following conditions must be true:

• For the production file:
  • The status is within the status range to which you have rights.
  • It is not complete.
  • The production file has a status type other than 'History'.
• For the production calculation:
  • It has not been authorized.
  • It is not complete.

The component is copied only if these conditions are true. If a component has not been copied, you can check the log for the reason.
