Hi,
We have a discussion here about what to do with revisions on our products. We have product 1 and product 2. Both have revision A (inventsizeid) and all MRP is setup. We start purchasing and manufacturing. After a while R&D decides the drawing becomes revision B of product 1 and revision C of product 2.
Now we have an administrative change in AX. First of all we cannot stop the revisions, nor the MRP understands (like SAP/ Oracle) to change this in all further planning. So as a work around we now have the discussion if we actually:
1. Should use revisions since A becomes B and is usable. Should we not stop with them? How then to indicate to vendors and in our service BOM that we need B?
2. We should change the item coverage and demand so that the item B is purchased, manufactured etc. But how to coop with running transactions like production orders going by 100 and now the revision is changed. If you have large BOMs and a lot of changes this is a lot of work and no BOM version will correctly have the right amount of product 1 and 2 in it.
3. We should remove all reservation on the revisions and then use a count/ transfer journal to move from revision A to B we basically are changing our inventory and all inventory reports are wrong, like recounting journals, FIFO, etc.
