Revision Modes

The mechanism used to assign revisions to a document depends on the revision mode that the ERP administrator assigns to the document type.

The revision mode specified can be an alphanumeric revision, for Example, rev01, or A1, or can be set automatically to the release date of the revision, Example, 1998-05-12.

The revision mode also determines whether the files and hard copies are assigned revisions. If so, the revision process is as follows:

• For alphanumeric revisions, all documents, revisions, files, and hard copies are set to alphanumeric mode.
• For release date revision mechanism, all documents, hard copies, and file revisions are set automatically to the release date of the document revision.
