Revision/Version Control System (VCS)

The Revision control system allows you to save revisions of stock items and track all changes made to Bills of Materials (BOMs) and Routings.

This functionality can be turned on at Settings -> System settings -> Enterprise functions -> Version control system.

If this is turned on, then:

A revision (version) can be stored in stock item details.
The stock lot details can store an item's revision. If a particular stock lot is reworked, the revision can be changed manually.
When creating a manufacturing or purchase order, a revision is copied from the item to this document and to the target stock lot. When the revision is changed in the initial document, the new revision is copied to the target stock lot.
When creating a transfer order, the revision is copied from the source stock lot to the target stock lot. Please note that changing the revision in the source stock lot after the transfer order was created does not affect the target stock lot.
Every update to a BOM or a Routing creates a new document revision.
On the BOM and Routing details pages is the list of previous versions, with the Created date, Notes, and User information.
Restoring a previous version of the BOM or the Routing is possible.
It is possible to view a PDF of the previous version.
Notes can be edited. In the Edit mode, move the mouse over the notes to edit them.
In the BOM and Routing subsections of Production Planning, in part Versions, it is possible to search by number, date period, name, creator, and notes.
