Hi all,
We have several parts with multiple revisions and sometimes, there’s quite the diffference between different revisions. These parts have “use part rev” and “track inventory by revision” turned on. Now, these parts get used in parent parts’ BOMs, where sometimes multiple revisions are used in different parent parts.
For example, Say Part A has two revisions 1 and 2, of which rev. 1 contains Part B, while rev. 2 contains Part C and D but does not contain Part B. Part X contains rev. 1 of Part A, Part Y contains rev. 2 of Part A. In all parts, the sub-parts are pulled as subassemblies for production, so there’s never a Job to produce Part A, only Part X or Y.
Jobs for Part X and Y run through correctly - the Pick List for a job for X contains B, but not C or D, whereas the Pick List for Y contains C and D, but not B. Great!
However, I noticed when using View Cost… in the Method Tracker, both Part X and Part Y will contain C and D (the latest approved revision is 2) in the Part BOM list, which (sometimes) generates massive errors in the cost calculation.
Is this expected behaviour? How can I make sure the costing rollup will use the correct revision? Or is there some better way to calculate a BOM cost that will take the correct revisions into account?
Thanks
Daniel
