Update E-item relation

Infor LN

If the Revision Controlled check box in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) details session is selected, revisions can be present for an item. If a new revision is created for an item, the Update Method E-Item Relation field in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) details session determines how the engineering item relationship is changed. In Infor LN, you can choose between the following options:

  • Automatic
    If a new revision is created for the engineering item, the exiting relationship between the engineering item and one or more standard items or customized items continues.
  • Manual
    LN does not create a new relationship between the engineering item and one or more customized items. The existing relationship remains valid.
Infor LN SP1

In Infor LN SP1, you cannot choose between Automatic and Manual anymore to update the engineering item relationship. Instead, you can select one of the following options in the Update Method E-Item Relation field:

  • Yes
    If a new revision is created during engineering, and a relationship already exists between the engineering item and an item, the existing (effective) revision number is removed and replaced by the new revision number.
  • Freeze
    If a new revision is created during engineering, and a relationship already exists between the engineering item and an item, the existing (effective) revision number stays the same, and is not changed. In other words, the revision number of the new revision will not replace the existing revision number.
  • Break
    If a new revision is created during engineering, and a relationship already exists between the engineering item and an item, the existing (effective) revision number is removed. The removed revision number is not replaced by the new revision number, which means that no revision number is displayed anymore.
