Create and Maintain Modification Baseline

Explanation

Use this activity to define all the modifications the customer wants performed by default, for every visit of serials with the given part number. All the required modifications will be automatically set as they are included in the baseline. If new required modifications are defined for the part after the baseline is defined, these modifications will be automatically included in the baseline for all the customers.

Recommended and optional modifications will not be automatically included and must be manually set for the customers. This should be revised before every visit. If required modifications are changed to optional, these modifications will not be automatically removed from the baseline.
