Recently we had a client who accidentally changed their revision level on their Manufacturing BOM. They did not want to GP to show that they were on their 7th revision of the item because they were really on their 5th and just didn’t know how to use the BOM correctly in GP. They contacted us at Rose and asked us to fix it. Not knowing much about Manufacturing I searched all the usual areas for a way to change the revision level with no success. I don’t believe there is a way to “go back” within GP. I decided to fix on the back end. The two tables I used were BM010415 for BOM Revision and BM 010416 for BOM Revision History. On BM010415 I ran an UPDATE sql script on SSMS to change the REVISIONLEVEL_I column to the revision level I wanted, in my case this was 5. On BM010416 I ran a DELETE sql script to remove the two unwanted lines, again from the REVISIONLEVEL_I column, so in my case I deleted revision level 5 and 6 from the history table. This seemed to fix their issue and they have been happy ever since.
Here are the scripts I ran,
To update current table BM010415:
Select * from BM010415 where ITEMNMBR=’xxx’
Update BM010415
Set REVISIONLEVEL_I=’xxx’ where REVISIONLEVEL_I=’xxx’
To update history table BM010416:
Select * from BM010416 where ITEMNMBR=’xxx’
Delete from BM010416 where REVISIONLEVEL_I=’xxx’
