You can insert multiple revisions that have the In-design status. You cannot insert a new revision if the previous revision is linked to an MBC, and EBOM changes have not yet been processed for that MBC. To select a different E-item for which you can define new revisions, click the Find a record button. The E-item must be defined in the Engineering Item (tiedm0110m000) session. If the revision is valid, it can affect a standard or customized item. The revision is valid if: The revision's status is Approved by Production. The revision is linked to a standard item or to a customized item defined in the Engineering Item - Item Relationship (tiedm1101m000) session. The revision's current date falls between the effective date and the expiry date. The default effective date of a new revision is the current date. This date is used as the expiry date for the previous revision. To delete a revision with In-design status, select the revision and then select Cancel Revision from the Edit menu. You cannot change the status to Approved by Engineering or Approved by Production if the revision is created by an MBC for which EBOM changes are not yet processed.
