Why is site not part of control plan key?

I believe you will have to put this up as a request on the idea wall or create a case to remedy it.  I agree, you should be able to see the site in the list if your control plan id is just a counter and you have the same part in multiple sites.  The only thing I could suggest as a work around is to pre-filter your selection by a particular site, and only work with one site at a time.

ShawnBerk,

Thanks for your reply. I will put this on the idea wall as, how nice your workaround might be, it doesn’t work if a user has only access to site B (connected to company B), but another user has prepared a control plan for the same part in site A (which is connected to company A).

Odd that this check upon site, is not done when raising a new control plan, is not yet in place.

Thanks again,

Steve

Well, that complicates the issue then.  Can you get around that by creating a quick report that provides a listing of all of the available control plans so users in opposite sites know to ask for the the one that exists rather than create a new one?  You should be able to work around the site access issue if you have it run by a user with all the sites and then saved in a location everyone can get to.

ShawnBerk,

Thanks for your tip. That is something. Most likely I will go for an event that performs a check upon adding the Control Plan. It will check if the combination Part, Part Revision and control plan type (if needed) exist on an active control plan.

After I pushed this on the Idea Wall I got a message from someone within IFS and showed that it worked for him. I tried it again. Now in our 10.6 Aurena environment:

Problem appeared in Aurena 10.6.8.0.
