Revision Function

You can use Customer Part Maintenance to create a relationship between the Customer part number and your part number. That way when your customer gives you their part number, enter it in the sales order in the customer part field and vantage will automatically populate your part number with the one that corresponds to the customer part number you selected.

Among hundreds of thousands of parts how do we find the one they have ordered before and are requesting now, unless they give us the part number we created for them, which in most cases they don't they use their own part number. Should we be creating working with them and creating alias numbers for the custom parts at the time we create them so they do not get lost?

If the part is Non-Stock, the system should be ship the rev. from the Sale Order.
But if your parts are stock, maybe not... would you bin different revisions together?

We use revisions for "make" parts - to define the BOM & method of manufacture.
We do have Revs for some purchase parts - to list replacement parts in a BOMs. ( The BOM is ignored by the system for P parts).

That being the case should we plan on creating revisions for all of our purchased parts right now. We are in implementation stage running on 604 right now.

> Can you give an example?

We make paper bags. In this instance we have a sky blue bag. it is a stock part, non-stock is not checked. We are going to be getting paper from a different supplier and the color is slightly different. Everything else about that bag is the same. We wanted to use Rev A as the old paper and Rev B is the new paper same part. We put an order through for Rev B and at the picking process there was nothing to indicate to shipping which rev to ship to the customer. No maybe we missed something and it was going to the bin that has that rev and we overlooked that portion of it?

Shipping should be able to see the revision called on the sales order, however....
Inventory is not revision controlled, yet. You can either customize to show the revision in lot control or create a new part #.

Ahh... so essentially your suggesting create lots for those parts and use the Rev as the lot number so there is a consistent identifier all the way through the system. Correct?

For parts that have more than one active revisions, that is the only solution we have found.
This does not stop shipping from sending the wrong revision however.

If it's lot controlled though it will at least get them to the right bin correct? We will have to pilot this and see how it goes.

> For parts that have more than one active revisions, that is the only solution we have found.

That blows you would think that revisions could control inventory and have multiple active revisions to run down stock in an old revision. Were trying to avoid having to make a million custom parts when the method of manufacture doesn't change but just the material used changes.

Two examples, the color of ink used on a printed paper bag changes from blue to green. All of the part is the same but it would be nice that rev A is blue and rev B is green, or however we wanted to name them.

Is there another place we should be doing something like that for our custom parts?

From what I hear, they are working on inventory revisions but it could be a while.

Not knowing your shop, it's hard to say how I'd use lot control. We use lot number for EVERYTHING.
If your part MOMs do not change after they are created, I would just use different part numbers for every custom part. You can have a million parts or a million Revs. It's just as easy to duplicate a part for a different color.

If it's lot controlled though it will at least get them to the right bin correct? We will have to pilot this and see how it goes.

That blows you would think that revisions could control inventory and have multiple active revisions to run down stock in an old revision. Were trying to avoid having to make a million custom parts when the method of manufacture doesn't change but just the material used changes.

Two examples, the color of ink used on a printed paper bag changes from blue to green. All of the part is the same but it would be nice that rev A is blue and rev B is green, or however we wanted to name them.

Is there another place we should be doing something like that for our custom parts?

We are going to be getting paper from a different supplier and the color is slightly different. Everything else about that bag is the same. We wanted to use Rev A as the old paper and Rev B is the new paper same part. We put an order through for Rev B and at the picking process there was nothing to indicate to shipping which rev to ship to the customer. No maybe we missed something and it was going to the bin that has that rev and we overlooked that portion of it?

So our customers can re-order these custom parts if they wan't without changes to them. How does that work? Among hundreds of thousands of parts how do we find the one they have ordered before and are requesting now, unless they give us the part number we created for them, which in most cases they don't they use their own part number. Should we be creating working with them and creating alias numbers for the custom parts at the time we create them so they do not get lost?
