REQUIREMENT:
We need to support multiple active BOM revisions, allowing users to choose which revision to use.
Currently, we’re trying to create revisions without specifying effective start and end dates. However, the system requires an effective date on the first revision before allowing new ones.
In some cases, an assembly may have an approved alternative for a specific component, which means multiple active revisions can exist at the same time.
SOLUTION:
NetSuite mandates effective dates for BOM revisions, allowing only one active revision per BOM at a time. Revision dates cannot overlap, restricting multiple active revisions within a single BOM.
To manage different active setups, create separate BOMs for each configuration (e.g., one for standard parts, another for alternatives). Link these BOMs to the same assembly item, enabling users to pick the desired BOM when creating a work order.
