Revision Control

A revision is a particular version of an item, bill of material, or routing. You use revision quantity control to track item quantities by item revision. To do so you must specify a revision for each material transaction.
You can enable revision quantity control for items for which you must track version changes or changes that are significant enough to track but are not affecting the function and feature of the item and therefore do not require an item change.

Steps to Implement Revision Control for Items in Your Organization
  1.  Define a default starting revision for each organization.
  2.  Enable revision quantity control for items.
  3.  Define revision numbers to use for each revision-controlled item.
  4.  Enter revision numbers when you perform transactions.
Uses in Oracle Inventory
  • Material Transactions You can enter revision numbers for revision-controlled items during inventory transactions.
  • Reservations You can place holds on specific revisions of items.
  • Accuracy You can enter revision numbers for revision-controlled items whenever you enter physical inventory counts and cycle counts.
  • Reports and Inquiries Oracle Inventory reports and inquiry windows display revision information for revision-controlled items.
Starting Default Revision for an organization
You can define a starting revision that Oracle Inventory uses when creating items. Revisions can be in numerical or alphabetical order. If you do not enter a starting revision, Oracle Inventory makes the starting revision number zero.
When you save your item, Oracle Inventory assigns to the item the starting revision number from the Organization Parameters window. This is the base revision of your item. If you introduce additional versions of the item, you must first define them in the Item Revisions window.

Enable Revision Control Attribute
Revision control is an item attribute. If you maintain the revision control attribute at the item master level, each item must have the same kind of revision control in each organization that carries the item.If you maintain the revision control attribute at the organization level, each item may have a different kind of revision control in each organization that carries the item.

Revision Quantity Control : If you select the Revision Control check box for an item, you must enter a revision number when you enter transactions for the item.
If you clear the Revision Control check box for an item, you do not have to enter revision information when you enter a material transaction for the item. You will not be able to track quantities of each different version of the item.

Defining Item Revisions
You can define multiple revision numbers and effective dates for each revisioncontrolled item. You can assign revisions in sequence by effective date. Revisions must be in alphabetical or numerical order, and you must choose one of the revision
numbers when you enter transactions, physical inventory counts, and cycle counts. You must enter a revision number for each revision-controlled item that you transact.

Engineering Change Order
You can add a revision number when you enter an engineering change order or when you transfer items, bills, and routings from engineering to manufacturing. Oracle Inventory displays the engineering change order that added the revision.
Oracle Inventory displays the date on which you entered the engineering change order or when you transferred the item using the Transfer to Manufacturing window.

Component Matching by rev. control/level

Is Oracle capable of handling matching of components by revision level? If yes, how will the setup be in the system?

Revision Control

Can revision number be added by just updating some of the DFFs, with NO update in "enter an engineering change order or when you transfer items, bills, and routings from engineering to manufacturing"? My client wants to manage items with same item code, but with different revision number, when there is any update in the item attributes. My client will not be implementing BOM module nor Engineering module.

Revision Controlled Item, is not having Revision Number in PR

While doing move transaction, Requisition is created automatically, by Requisition Import Concurrent. In that Requisition, the Revision Num is Blank, whereas, at Organization level, Revision Control is enabled for this Item. Please analyse this issue and provide solution!
