Update Structure Revision and/or Alternate

Explanation

Use this activity to select a different revision and/or alternate of the structure for the shop order. (The current revision is selected automatically when the system registers a shop order.)

If the selected shop order is in the status of parked and the status before parked was reserved or started, only the revision and/or alternate on the shop order head will be changed.

Note: This activity does not support configured parts. The activity Update Revision for configuration can be used instead, as alternates are updated from configuration rules.
For a shop order that was in the status of Reserved or Started before Parked, all updates on the Shop Order window Material tab have to be done manually. In some circumstances update is also possible to be done in the Compare Shop Order with Structure and Routing window.

Prerequisites

• This activity requires that the shop order is in the state of Planned or Released or a shop order in the status of Parked with the Enable Rev/Alt to be Changed check box selected.
• If a material line is manually pegged against a purchase order line or a shop order, the pegging has to be removed first.
• The shop order is not pegged to a DOP Order.
• The shop order is not for a configured part.

System Effects

As a result of this activity,

• The revision and/or alternate on the shop order head is changed.
• If the shop order is in the status of Planned or Released , the Shop Order window Material tab will get changed due to the new structure revision and/or alternate.
• If the selected alternate is a rework alternate the rework flag will be selected.
• Document Text and Notes on the Shop order header will be replaced with the Document Text and Notes added on the structure header.
