Hi
When we do an Engineering Revision Transfer our manufacturing site complain that data in the product structure is being overwritten.
They have entered data in column “Consumption Item”. Some parts they have set as “Consumed” and some parts in the same structure have been set as “Not Consumed”.
However, when we do the transfer, all parts are changed to “Consumed” which is quite annoying.
Also data as Scrap factor and Reserve/Issue from Loc are being overwritten.
Can anybody tell me how we can prevent this overwriting of data?
Best regards

Hi
I believe that is the standard way. The structures are overwritten during the transfers (subjected to some conditions though). So the values and changes too are getting replaced.
Please have a look at this IFS Help Documentation explanation.
Since the application uses date effectivity, the transfer will attempt to use the tentative revision that has a phase-in or effective date that is closest to the date that is listed in the proposed start date. If no tentative revision exists, the system will either create the first revision, as is the case when the part is new to the manufacturing site, or it will create a revision that is numbered sequentially from the latest revision that is presently buildable. This situation will occur except when the first revision is tentative, the system will not use the first tentative revision, instead system will create a second tentative revision. When additional revisions are transferred, the system will overwrite the structure of the second revision until the second revision is made buildable. Any unwanted tentative revisions for the parts should be canceled before the transfer, in order to avoid overwriting.
