Current Item Revision
• The current Item Revision replaces the Item
Master as the source of the item related
information for the XA essentials applications:

Current Item Revision
• If multiple Item Revisions exist for a Site/Item
combination, the current Item Revision is
determined by the Effective From and
Effective To dates. The Current Item Revision
function utilizes the following criteria:
Current Item Revision Example
Current Item Revision
If no Item Revisions are effective for the system
date but previous item revisions exist, EPDM
selects the current based on:
Current Item Revision
If no Item Revisions are effective for the system
date and no previous item revisions exist but
future item revisions do exist, EPDM selects
the current based on:
Item Revision Control Function
• Performs analysis whenever Item Revisions
are updated
• Performs analysis whenever System Date
changes, usually run at midnight (unattached
job)
• Can be run anytime as a host job for a
selected Site
Item Revision Control Function
Host Job in the Site Object
Item Revision Control Function
Item Revision Control Function
• Updates Item Site file with current revision
• Logs change transaction for Item Site to
maintenance history
• If Unit Cost Default is the cost basis, and the
UCD is different, EPDM generates a CU
transaction
• If the Revision has been released and the Auto
Sync attribute is Yes, updates the Item Master
files

Controlled Attributes
• Some attributes of Item Revisions are
controlled at the Enterprise or the Site level
• If control exists at the Enterprise level, all
revisions of an item across all Sites will have
the same value for the attribute
• If control exists at the Site level, all revisions
for that Site will have the same value for the
attribute
• Prevents accidental change of the attribute
when a new Item Revision is created
Controlled Attribute
Controlled at the Enterprise Level
• Stocking Unit of Measure (UNMSR)
• Inventory Code (INVFG)

• If not common to all sites…
– Be careful when copying across sites
• Can have more codes
– Field changed to alphanumeric (36 characters)

• Sort by variance
• Variance not zero

Base Prices in EPDM
New pane on Sales card.
Blue shows price in effect now.
Kits
• Now maintained in EPDM
• PDM+ not affected
The real benefits
• A tool is as good as the use you make of it
• R9 allows your company’s information infrastructure to be
nimble
– React to business needs
– New standard application function
– Instant custom function
• Unite people with better integration
– Departmental systems
– External users
– Off-site internal users
