Hello All,

We are currently implementing IFSCloud (launching soon), though we are a couple versions behind.

I am looking for some guidance on how to best control Part Revisions. The Product Structure does not identify a Component Revision, so if any revision of a component part number is available in inventory the structure will allow for its use (regardless of the phase in/out dates).

If we created a new revision in inventory parts in order to support placement of a Purchase Order and inventory stocking but we are not ready to start using that revision on a Shop Order, how would we control this? 

Inventory Part Status would be great, but this is tied to the Inventory Part as a whole and would lock down the active revision as well. (We are not looking to change a Part Number for every minor change).

Availability Controls seem to be a reactive step and would require the inventory to be placed on an availability control after it has arrived (relying on the memory of the person receiving the lot as I am unable to find a trigger that will apply an automatic availability control).

Thanks for the help in advance.
