Use this activity to confirm a transfer of an engineering revision to a site.
The process creates the parts, part revisions, and structure data needed. Since
the application uses date effectivity, the transfer will attempt to use the
tentative revision that has a phase-in or effective date that is closest to the
date that is listed in the proposed start date in the Engineering transfer
windows. If no tentative revision exists, the system will either create the
first revision, as is the case when the part is brand new to the manufacturing
side, or it will create a revision that is numbered sequentially from the latest
revision that is presently buildable. This situation will happen except when the
first revision is tentative, the system will not use the first tentative
revision, and instead system will create a second tentative revision. As
additional revisions are transferred, the system will overwrite the structure of
the second revision until the second revision is made buildable. Any unwanted
tentative revisions for the parts should be canceled before the transfer, in
order to avoid overwriting.
In addition, depending on the part transfer template used, alternate components defined in engineering may also be transferred over, and may overwrite existing alternate components defined in manufacturing.
This activity requires that a detailed transfer be started.
