I am attempting to change a Bill Type from 'Standard' to 'Kit' and when I try to accept, I receive the message "The Current Bill Revision is required." However, on the BOM Maintenance screen, I do not see any field for the Current Bill Revision. I tried entering something in every available space with no luck.

We just upgraded to 4.4.

Thanks.

Anyone? You can do it!

Are you on product update 1 or 2?

We are on 1...I believe moving to 2 on Wednesday.

If there is a Blank line below Bill Number and below Routing Number then check Options.

If Require Bill Revisions is unchecked then those areas will be blank.

[andrew4]

There are no blank lines below Bill Number or Routing Number (although there is a gap between Routing Number and Date Last Used).

Where do you see Require Bill Revisions? Wish I could send a screen shot of mine.

Please check BIll Options for Require Bill Revisions.

I'm also noticing that upon changing the Bill Type from Standard to Kit, the line item/component Revisions for sub-assemblies stay in there even though the Line Revision field is now inaccessible - but the Rev's can be seen via DFDM.  And then when running the Single-Level BOM report for example, it displays those original Rev's.  However, in many cases these Rev's are incorrect but we're unable to edit them in B/M Maint>Lines.  Is this "by design"?

The incorrect / misleading Rev info is also apparent in B/M Inquiry.  Seems crazy that remnants of the Rev data remains after changing the bill type.

It appears the easiest option for fixing these misleading Rev's is to delete the bad line from the BOM and re-add it.

And if the client really needs to associate a sub-assembly Rev with a Kit bill, they could always set up multiple items.
