Revision updates of the bill of materials are performed one by one through the engineering change records. Batch revisions are performed by selecting bills of materials, engineering change records and the Update Method. Bill of Materials Revision Updates option is located in the Operations menu of the Production Definitions section. The revision update conditions are set in the Bill of Materials Revision Update filter lines. The filter options and functions are:
