Create Engineering Part Revision
This process leads you through all the steps in creating an
engineering part revision
Description of process
In order to create an engineering part revision, you'll first
have to create the engineering part. The default revision is defined in
PDM/ Basic Data/Default. The default revision is used when
creating the first revision of a part if nothing else is specified.
The following steps are typical when creating Engineering Part Revision.
When creating the first revision:
Usually, the first revision is created automatically when creating an engineering
part, but it is possible to delete the contents of the First Revision
field in Engineering Parts to avoid creating the first
revision. If an engineering part exists without a revision, the following steps
describe how to create the first revision.
- Select the engineering part for which you want to make
a revision.
- Use the command Create New Revision to create
an engineering part revision.
- Enter a revision number or let the system
enter a default value for you.
- Enter a note describing the revision.
- Build the part structure.
- Define document requirements.
- Define the approval routing.
- Define spare parts.
- Define any additional, i.e., cost and price parameters concerning the
engineering part revision.
- Approve the new engineering part revision.
- Write an Engineering Change Note describing what has
changed.
- Distribute new documents if necessary.
When creating a new revision if one or several revisions already exists:
- Select the engineering part for which you want to create
a revision.
- Use the command Create New Revision to create
an engineering part revision.
- Enter a revision number or let the system
enter a default value for you.
- Connect to a CO if one exists for this
change.
- Enter a note describing the revision.
- Select the old revision
from which to copy.
- Select what to copy: structure and/or document
survey.
- If document survey was chosen, select which documents to copy.
- Build/adjust the part structure.
- Define/adjust document requirements.
- Define the approval routing.
- Define/adjust spare parts.
- Define any additional, i.e., cost and price parameters concerning the
engineering part revision.
- Approve the new engineering part revision.
- Write an Engineering Change Note describing what has
changed.
- Distribute new documents if necessary.
