Revise Masterdata
Most Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager uses do not require multiple revisions of Masterdata. Typically, model and drawing revisions are sufficient to describe the changes to a part or product over time. If you are using an MRP or ERP system to manage your product lifecycle, Masterdata revisioning may not be right for you. However, if you want to track changes or manage the state and lifecycle attributes specific to Masterdata, then Masterdata revisioning may be right for you.

Your Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager Administrator must turn on the Masterdata revision feature. See > for more information (<PartHistoryManagement>).
|
Revise your Masterdata when you need to change material, suppliers, cost, description, or any Masterdata attribute. When you create a new Masterdata revision, Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager keeps a copy of the Masterdata information in a history table with information about the change, who changed it, and when it was changed.
When you revise Masterdata, it is not part of any BOM. To use the new Masterdata revision in a BOM, use the BOM Editor, Create (scan) BOM, or New Version Replace.
Masterdata classes
• By default, you can only revise released Masterdata. Each time you revise, Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager copies the Masterdata to the primary class and moves the original to the history classes.
• If configured by your administrator, you can revise Masterdata in any state. Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager copies the Masterdata to the primary class and moves the previous versions to the history classes, regardless of its state.
