Prior to V12, Sage X3 would **not allow you to add or exclude components** in a Work Order for a Version-managed Product. You could only make changes to a few fields, such as Scrap factor, Pick list and Requirement date fields.

Previously the process to accomplish this was to create a new bill of material version with the required changes and create a new work order, because the manufacturing process for version-managed products is normally tightly controlled.

This enhancement was made because: There are times when it is necessary to adjust the components on a work order for version managed products and the previous process was very cumbersome.

Now a user that has User **parameter ECCWOCOM set to Yes**, can make critical changes on components on work orders with version-managed products.

 

#### These changes include:

- Adding sub-assemblies (phantoms) and unexpected materials.
- Excluding/reactivating components
- Changing values on some fields – Required quantity, Operation number and Pick list code.

#### Other Enhancements include:

- The option to trace (parameter MFGREV = YES) critical changes (see below)
- The changes use the same work order statuses as work orders with non-versioned products
- You can only make the critical changes if **Routing WO Management = ‘Materials change’ or Change Materials and operations’**

#### Benefits:

- Saves time when a change is required
- May lead to increased productivity
- You can trace the changes
- Simplifies processes which can reduce costs

#### When the MFGREV parameter for Revision Management is set to YES:

- You will need to add a reason for each change
- The revise history for each critical changed will be recorded in the **MFGMATREV table** when the Work Order is saved.
- You can then review the revision history for each component line.

Now let’s try making a couple of these changes to a version managed Work Order.

Create a new Work Order for a version-managed product:

 Now let's add unexpected Material – BMS002  (You get the message below – just click on OK.)

Add the component.

In the action button on the new component line – **choose Revision History** – now you can see the change that was made.

Now let’s change a requirement qty from 1 to 2.

Look at line 11 – it has been changed from 1 to 2

You will get the message below, just click ok.

Again, if you click on the component line that you just changed and choose **Revision History**, you can see the changes you made.

Now you have seen how you can make changes to a Versioned Work Order.
