View Revision-Specific Values for Items in Pending Revisions

When you select the revision of an item, the content is displayed with or without the redlines, depending on whether the revision is in the past, current, pending, or future state.

Note:

• The Guide Me button appears when you configure the Page Properties for guided journeys in a structure.
• You can configure guided journeys for structures that will let you provide relevant instructions or guides to create or modify the structure.

You can select Edit in Change Order from the Actions menu of a pending revision within the appropriate change order context to edit a pending revision. When you select an item revision, your ability to edit and see redlines depends on whether the revision is:

• Current – The revision is editable and doesn’t show redlines once updated.
• Pending – The revision is editable when you select Edit in Change Order. Redlines are displayed after saving the item.
• Past – The revision is read-only and doesn’t show redlines.
• Future Effective – The revision is read-only and shows redlines until the change becomes effective.

Depending on the selected revision, only the following tabs associated with change control will display content and values specific to that revision. Other tabs will not display any data.

• Attributes
  • Each of the following attribute groups will be displayed according to the selected revision:
    • Basic, Manufacturing, Service, Inventory, Physical Attributes, Sales and Order Management, Purchasing, Planning, and Additional Attributes

• Attachments
  • Item attachments remain consistent across all revisions.
  • Attachments tied to a specific revision are revision specific. When you add an item to a change order, the pending revision also displays the current revision attachments. Deleting an attachment from the pending revision won’t remove it from the current revision.
  • When you add an item to a change order, the pending revision also displays the current revision attachments. Deleting an attachment from the pending revision won’t remove it from the current revision.
  • Attachments added to a pending revision won’t appear in the current revision.
• Structure
  • In the structure, the attribute values for both the component and the item displayed correspond to the specific revision you've selected within the context item. If the selected revision is the current revision, then the component will display the current revision, and the item entities will be editable. The values of the following attributes, that are added to the structure table, are dependent on the selected context revision:
    • Component revision
    • Component attributes
    • Component descriptive flexfields
    • Reference designators
    • Substitute components
    • Item operational attributes
    • Item extensible flexfields
• Relationships-trading partner items (AML)
  • Trading Partner Items will be displayed in the context of the selected revision.
  • Other tables aren’t revision based and they aren't change controlled.

You can create guided journeys that includes tutorials and best practices to assist users as they work with item structures.
