Engineering Item Revision (tiedm1100m000)

Use this session to modify and define revisions of E-items. You can, for example:

  • Enter data for revisions of engineering items.
  • Import revision data from a CAD application.
  • Change the revision status of an E-item revision.

 

Engineering Item

The E-item for which you want to maintain revisions.

Manual Revision Numbering

If this check box is selected, you can enter the revision number manually when you create new revisions.

If you change the revision numbering mode in between, for example, from manual to automatic, the next highest number for the current revision series for the E-item is generated.

Engineering Item Revision

The engineering item's revision for which you are defining a bill of material (BOM).

Related topics

Status

The status of the revision.

Creation Date

The date on which the revision was created.

BOM Quantity
Unit Set
Material

What the E-item revision is made of, for the current revision.

For example, paper, plastic, wood.

Size

How large the E-item revision is, for the current revision.

For example, 200 mm x 1 meter.

Standard

The company, national, or international standard to which the E-item revision conforms (or must conform), for the current revision.

For example, ISO 8601, NEN 3140, BS 1383.

Unit

Unit of measurement, such as meter, kilogram, or piece.

Weight Unit

Unit of measurement for weight, such as a kilogram.

Weight

The weight of the revision, entered in the units that you have defined in the Weight Unit field.

Engineer

The employee who is responsible for supervising the design of the revision.

In process by Change Management

If this check box is selected, an approval procedure for the E-item revision has started in Data Management. You must first complete the approval procedure before you can approve the revision for production.

Effective Date

The date and time that the revision becomes effective.

You can change this date manually to any future date. If you have multiple revisions that have the In-design status, you can schedule the effective date for all these revisions.

If you approve an E-item revision that has an effective date for production that is before the current date, the effective date is automatically set to the Approved by Production date.

If the revision is finalized, the effective date of the revision for the parent E-item is taken as the effective date for the PBOM lines. So the desired effective date for the PBOM lines must be set here.

Expiry Date

If the revision has the Approved by Production status, the Expiry Date field is empty, and you can set this date manually. When a new revision is created with an effective date before the expiry date of the previous revision the expiry date of the previous revision is set to the effective date of this new revision.

You cannot change the expiry date if:

  • The status of the revision is not Approved by Production.
  • The revision has been Approved by Production, but the Expiry Date field is filled.

Related topics

Approved by Engineering Date

The date that the revision was Approved by Engineering.

Once a revision is Approved by Engineering it cannot be deleted, only canceled and archived.

Approved by Production Date

The date that the revision received the Approved by Production status.

Date from CAD

The date that the revision was imported from a CAD application.

Text

If this check box is selected, a text is present.

Freeze

Click to set the revision's status to Frozen.

You can only do this for revisions whose status is In-design.

Reset Revision Status

Click to set the revision's status to Approved by Production.

You can only do this for revisions whose status is Frozen. If the status is greater than Frozen and you want to change the design, you can cancel the revision and make a new one.

Approve by Engineering

Click to set the revision's status to Approved by Engineering.

You cannot change the status to Approved by Engineering if the revision is created by an MBC for which EBOM changes are not yet processed.

You can only do this for revisions whose status is:

  • Frozen
  • In-design
Approve by Production

Click to set the revision's status to Approved by Engineering.

You cannot change the status to Approved by Production if the revision is created by an MBC for which EBOM changes are not yet processed.

You can only do this for revisions whose status is:

  • Approved by Engineering.
  • In-design
Cancel Revision

Click to set the revision's status to Canceled.

You can only do this for revisions whose status is Approved by Engineering:

  • In-design revisions can be deleted
  • Approved by Production revisions can be archived

Canceled revisions can be archived.
