Example: Development Statuses with Date Validity 

On January 01 you create a BOM without a reference to a change master record. This BOM only contains one item.

BOM after Creation

You change the BOM header with reference to change master record CH1, which is valid from April 01. This causes a second change state for the BOM header to be generated.

New Change State for BOM Header

With reference to change master record CH2, which is valid from July 01, you add a new item (item 20). Item 20 is therefore also valid from July 01.

New Item

With reference to change master record CH3, which is valid from October 01, you change item 10. This causes a new change state to be generated for item 10.

New Change State for Item 10

A look at the BOM as a whole shows you that it has four development statuses.

·        The first development status is valid from January 01 to March 31.

·        The second development status is valid from April 01 to June 30.

·        The third development status is valid from July 01 to September 30.

·        The fourth development status is valid from October 01.
