| 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. Revisions To define new revisions for an E-item, click the Add a New Engineering Item Revision button. 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 a different E-item for which you can define new revisions, click the Find Engineering Item Revision 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 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 Delete Engineering Item 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. Specific menu You can alter the status of an E-item revision in the Status field to: Frozen, if the revision status is In-design. In-design, if the revision status is Frozen. Approved by Engineering, if the revision status is Frozen or In-design. Approved by Production, if the revision status is Approved by Engineering or In-design. Canceled, if the revision status is Approved by Engineering. If you cancel an MBC in the MBC (tiedm3110m000) session, all the revisions that are linked to that order are also cancelled. In-design revisions can be deleted and Canceled revisions can be archived. You can not cancel a revision that is Approved by Engineering if the revision is linked to an MBC for which the EBOM changes are not yet been processed. You can also start the following sessions from the Specific menu: Archive Engineering Data (tiedm1250m000) Copy Engineering Item to Item (tiedm1201m000) Generate EBOM Copy Data (Multilevel) (tiedm1230m000) Finalize Engineering Data (tiedm3240m000) Engineering BOM (tiedm1110m000) Engineering Item - Item Relationship (tiedm1101m000) Reference Designators by Engineering Item (tiedm0120m000) Reports If you click Print, you can select a session to produce reports about revisions: Print Engineering Item - Revisions (tiedm1400m000).

Fields | Description
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 Engineering items
Status | The status of the revision. Allowed values Possible values
Creation Date | The date on which the revision was created.
BOM Quantity | BOM quantity.
Unit Set | A group of unit codes that can be linked to standard or customized items, or to item defaults. In a unit set, you can indicate the physical quantities that can be used for the item, in which modules, and for what purposes.
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.
Norm 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.
Engineer | Displays the value entered in the Employee field in the Employees - General (tccom0101m000) session, from which you select the value for the Engineer field.
MBC | The mass BOM change used to control the revision. Related topics Engineering data management summary To change EBOMs - Automatic procedure
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 Engineering items
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. Related topics Import CAD application data with the BAAN Exchange module (BAAN Utilities)
ECO Procedure Step Text | If this check box is selected, a text is present. To enter a new text, or edit an existing text, click the Text button.
Commands | Description
Freeze | Click to set the revision's status to Frozen. You can only do this for revisions whose status is In-design.

Approve for Production | Click to set the revision's status to Approved by Production. You can only do this for revisions whose status is: Approved by Engineering. Frozen 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.
EBOM | Click to start the Engineering BOM (tiedm1110m000) session.
Relationships | Click to start the Engineering Item - Item Relationship (tiedm1101m000) session.
Reference Designators by Engineering Item | Click to start the Reference Designators by Engineering Item (tiedm0120m000) session, in which you can view, maintain, or add reference designators for a specific engineering item revision.
