Your parent part 82357 shows a Phase In Date of 02/01/2024 in the header. The error is generated because the Phase In Date of component part GR82357 is later than this date.

To avoid this error, either:

  1. Change the phase in date of the component GR82357 to be equal to or before 02/01/2024.
  2. Make a new revision of the parent part 82357 with a phase in date equal to or after that of GR82357.

Hi,

 

Thank you for your update.

but how come? Cause surely if we wanted to update a structure with a new part we should be able to?

Or would you need a whole new revision of everything? Is that IFS policy?

That is how date effectivity works in IFS, the components must exist (i.e., phase in) prior to or on the same date as the parent part revision.

Yes, that error will display for any component part for which the Phase In Date is misaligned.

Hi,

what is the proper process. Because having a new item today shouldn’t mean we have to date it backwards

Should it always have a new revision?

It should, as logically how can you put a new part into an old bill of material?

The proper process is dependent on your company's configuration management policy.

Is your company required to track all changes (revisions) to the bills of material for legacy record keeping due to the type of work it is involved in (defense, government, food/beverage, pharmaceuticals, etc.)? If so, then a new revision would always be required.

Or does your company policy state that revision management in IFS is not necessary? I've worked with companies for whom this is true, and changes to bills of material do not require a new revision. Therefore, a step in their new part process is to backdate all new parts to an arbitrary date such as 1/1/1990 to ensure there will be no phase in date conflicts such as yours.
