Creating New Part Revisions—Exercises

IMPORTANT
It is extremely important that you set up and work within your own site to maintain your data integrity. If you work within any other site, you will compromise your own exercise data as well as the data of other students. Predictable exercise results require that your data be isolated in your own site.

Creating New Part Revision

  1. Open the Part Revisions window, and query for Part 20–250 on your own site.

  2. Create a new line (F5) after the last revision.

  3. Enter Part 20–250. In the Revision No field, enter 3 (or the previous revision number plus one).

  4. In the Phase In field, enter the current date. Leave the Phase Out field blank.

  5. Enter information in the Revision Text and Eng Revision fields, if desired.

  6. Save your changes (F12). You have now entered a new part revision for a manufactured part. This means that a structure header with the same revision number has been created but is empty, i.e., no components are connected. This applies to recipe, plan, and configure structure as well.

Note: The above information can also be entered in either the Part Revision window or the Inventory Part/Revision tab.
