Field help (REVREASON)

This field supports the following changes to a work order for a versioned product:

• Critical changes made by an authorized user to a component line;
• Changes to key information in the work order header.

Critical changes to a component line are defined as the following:

• Addition of a component using the Add unexpected material or Add sub-assembly (phantom) action (from the Actions icon);
• Exclusion (or cancelling) of a component, or reinstatement of a (cancelled) component using the Exclude line or Reactivate actions respectively (from the Actions icon);
• Changes to the required quantity of a component (field Requirement qty);
• Changes to a pick list component issue statement (field Pick list code);
• Assigning, or changing, a specific manufacturing operation for a component (field Op. (Operation)).

Changes to the work order header information can result in the products to be released being reloaded with the default information from the BOM record. This results in any previous changes to the components being removed. Changes to key information in the work order header are therefore defined as the following:

• Changes to the work order start date;
• Changes to the planned quantity;
• Deletion of a product to be released.

Use this field (maximum 50 characters) to explain the reason you made the change. This field is mandatory for a change listed above when the product to be released is version-managed and parameter MFGREV - Revision management (chapter GPA, group WOM) is set. It provides traceability of these changes by writing details of each change to the Work order - component audit table (table MFGMATREV). Details written to this table include the revision reason from this field, a revision code and key details from the component line.

Changes to key information in the work order header update this field automatically.
