Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Revisions and approval

Kathy Barthelt 0 1634 Article rating: 5.0

Note that the Bill of Material and Routing are revision controlled. When a structure is generated for the first time, a first revision is made with status New.

If the Approve Structures Automatically check box is selected in the Job Shop Master Data Parameter (tirou0500m000) session, the revision is created with status Approved.

If the structure is regenerated, the current revision status determines the result:

  • If the status is New, this revision is overwritten
  • If the status is Approved, a new revision is created

Is it time to get more out of Infor LN & Baan?
