The Manage Revisions drawer is displayed. All the revisions created for the item are listed with their details. You can create a new revision by providing the Revision Code, Revision Description, Revision Reason, and Effective Date.

If the item has revisions created through change orders, the related change order details are displayed.

This feature benefits your business by enabling faster, more flexible item updates allowing manual item revisions without requiring a change order.

Steps to enable and configure

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips and considerations

  • Item revisions can’t have an effective date in the past.
  • If an item has any previous or future revisions created through a change order, then you can’t create item revisions manually.
  • Item revisions created manually are listed in the item header of the Redwood item page.
