Validate an editable assembly structure and keep submission separate from engineering release.
Production Planner selects the product item, gives the BOM revision its label and enters its effective start and end dates. Choose the intended assembly before importing lines; similar item names require an identity check.
Production Planner prepares component lines on the editable parent. The component guard requires positive quantity per assembly, stated unit and scrap percentage within zero through one hundred. A Released parent blocks this validation. Resolve lines before treating the structure as ready for review.
Production Planner runs the revision guard. An identified product and revision, a valid effective interval and an unreleased structure permit Draft to Review once. Manager reviews the submitted structure before deciding release.
Manager reviews the structure and authorizes Review to Released through the release action configured during setup. Agree Manager's decision authority before go-live. Resolve findings on an editable structure before release.
Production Planner checks the intended revision alongside the next work order and the team's assembly instructions. Use the assembly instructions agreed with the operator. Retirement to Obsolete is a separate deliberate action when the team has agreed how ongoing work will retain its original instructions.
And how to keep it from happening.
