Engineering Revision in Intersite Process

The problem arises when engineering part revisions need to be controlled across multiple sites, alongside Inventory Part Revisions….. Example revisions below. The flow involves several locations, where one site supplies products to another. The Planning Network MRP triggers the generation of a Distribution Order to facilitate the shipment of products between sites. The receiving site treats the incoming manufactured items as purchased raw materials. Therefore, upon release of MRP Planned Distribution Orders, a corresponding PO is created for the receiving site and customer order created at the sending site. A PO release from the receiving site, intended to receive today (11/3) will be created with Revision 3, Engineering Rev C referenced. However, the Customer Order does not reflect any requirement for revision control. The manufacturing site has quantity on hand from prior production of Revision 2, Engineering Rev B and will ship this inventory against the Customer Order. When attempting to receive the in-transit inventory against the PO, users receive a warning “The revision 3 to be received is different than the revision no 2 delivered from the supplier.”
 

In a manufacturing environment with a high occurrence of running changes, what is the best way to handle this condition?
