Replace Project Item Revisions

Explanation

This activity is used to replace all occurrences of a specific part revision in the project product structure. If the new revision does not exist in the delivery structure, the part revision is automatically created as a new project part definition line.

The document survey and document requirements will be copied from the previous revision, if it exists. If not, the document requirements will be copied from the new profile defined in PDM.

Prerequisites

• The project item to be replaced cannot be in Realized status.
• The new part revision should exist in PDM.

System Effects

• If the new part revision does not already exist in the project product structure, a new project part definition entry is automatically created.
• If the document survey and/or document requirements for the previous revision exists, it is copied to the new revision. Otherwise, document requirements are copied from the profile defined in PDM.
• The counter for the old part revision is decreased.
• The counter for the new part revision is increased.
• The items in the Designed status is set to Defined when they are replaced.
