Add New Modification Reference

Explanation

This activity is used to add a new modification reference to an active modification. When you add a modification reference a due calculation is triggered. This due calculation will automatically update the list of pending tasks.

Prerequisites

• A modification must have been defined. This modification must be in the Active status.
• If the reference type of the new modification reference is to be Supersedes, the superseded (replaced) modification should meet all requirements before the modification can be set to the Obsolete status.

System Effects

• A new modification reference is registered on the active modification.
• If the modification reference type is Supersedes, the status of the superseded modification revision is automatically set to Obsolete. As a result of this, a Superseded By record is created to be used as a reference. All pending tasks that are connected to the obsolete modification will be removed except where the modification execution type is Decomply.
