Hi Nagarajan,
Thanks for your reply.
We do want to use Version No. as a master data, beacuse every component which startegy is "Make" has a version number in our present - not SAP - system.
The first way how we can do it is by creating a "version no." UDF. The problem with this, is when an engineering change is made you immediately have to update the value of UDF to the new version number, becasue every sublevel production started after the change will be refering to the new version. But you still have stock from the older version, how do you separate them if they have the same item code?
That's why we thought, we give a new item code for the new version. The item code holds the version number, for exapmle:
- Item code of V1.0 version: 12345-V10
- Item code of V2.0 version: 12345-V20
With the above logic we can separate the stocks, and there is - some - connection between the versions, because the first "x" characters are the same, only the "version part" will change.
Regards,
Ferenc
