Revisions
In an ideal world, once a job is detailed and issued, that would be it. However, this is not a perfect world and it’s possible that the job can be revised at any time. This might be early enough that Steel has not been procured yet or might be late enough that the revised parts are fabricated and ready for dispatch.
The purpose of this document is to highlight some of the different scenarios a revised material list might cause and to explain how the user is to deal with these changes.
Importing a revised list
Note: details on how to use the Cad Interfaces can be found in the StruMIS evolution training manual within chapter 5; Contracts Management.
When the items within the import file have been verified and the user is ready to finish the import they’ll be presented with the revisions form.
The smart filter buttons displays the status of the imported items; a row count of the items for each status is also shown:
• Unchanged Mark Items – These are the items that have not altered between the revised imported file and the original Detail Listing.
• New Mark Items – These are all the items that are in the revised imported file that were not in the original Detail Listing.
• Changed Mark Items – These are items that are in the original Detailed Listing but one or more properties are different from the revised imported file.
• Removed Mark Items – These are items that existed in the original Detailed Listing but no longer exist in the revised imported file.
• Invalid Mark Items – These are Mark Items that are part of a Mark or Assembly Mark that is invalid because the Mark or Mark Item is new but has a component Mark Item with a revision change that cannot be revised.
Note: You can run a Revision Report from the Actions button on this screen Only.
1. Make sure you have the Mark Item Status and Can Revise columns visible in the grid. These will assist you when making decisions about the revisions.
2. When you are happy with the results of the revised imported list, click Next.
3. The Create Detail List screen will now be displayed with the following additional choices:
• Ignore all new items – Ignore all new items in the revised import file.
• Hold marks where the mark items cannot be created – This will put existing Marks on hold if new Mark Items on the Mark cannot be created.
Note: With this option unchecked only the affected Mark Item will be placed on hold.
• Revise changed items – This will create revisions for the items that can be revised but will place un-revisable items on hold.
o Hold all mark items on a revised mark – This will put all Mark Items of a Mark on hold when a Mark is placed on hold.
• Leave changed items and come back later – This will not revise changed items.
• Ignore all changed items – This will ignore all changes.
• Import all new marks – This will add the new Marks but place any existing Mark Items that cannot be revised on hold.
• Ignore all new marks – This will ignore any new Marks that have Mark Items that cannot be revised.
• Ignore all removed Items – This will ignore items that are marked for removal.
• Place removed items on hold – This will place items marked for removal on hold.
o Hold all mark items on a removed mark – This will put all Mark Items of a Mark on hold when a Mark is marked for removal.
4. Click the Finish button, all valid Items will be imported and the Contract Detailed Listing form will then appear.
The type of revision being imported combined with the Revision Settings in evolution will now decide what happens to the material list and what user interface will be displayed on screen. The following examples have been prepared to explain the various scenarios that you may face:
Cad Interface – Phase / Lot Changes
If all instances of a Mark’s Phase and Lot have been changed then StruM.I.S will make these changes automatically when the Import Detailing List Wizard is complete.
The following examples are based on the Revision Setting for Non-Material Changes set to Allow All Revisions.
Example 1
1. The material list for Mark 9 has been imported into the Detail Listing:
• Mark 9 – Qty = 3 off, all in Phase 1 Lot 1.
2. Mark 9 has been released, nested and both Mark Item and Mark work orders have been generated.
• See the snapshot of the Production Lotting form with the Phase and Lot columns highlighted.
3. Import the revised material list for Mark 9 into the Detail Listing:
• Mark 9 – Qty = 3 off, all moved to Phase 2 Lot 2.
4. From the Item Listing screen of the Wizard, click the Next button and the Revision screen will be displayed.
Note: All instances of Mark 9 have been changed; therefore this is a Phase/Zone Change and a Lot/Load Change. The Can Revise checkbox is ticked which means that the revision will take place automatically.
5. Click the Next button and the Create Detail List screen will now be displayed.
6. Click the Finish button, the revision will now take place automatically and the Mark Items will be updated to Phase 2 and Lot 2.
Example 2
1. The material list for Mark 9 has been imported into the Detail Listing:
• Mark 9 – Qty = 3 off, all in Phase 1 Lot 1
2. Mark 9 has been released, nested and both Mark Item and Mark work orders have been generated.
3. Import the revised material list for Mark 9 into the Detail Listing:
• Mark 9 – Qty = 3 off, all moved to Phase 2 Lot 1.
4. From the Item Listing screen of the Wizard, click the Next button and the Revision screen will be displayed.
Note: All instances of Mark 9 have been changed; therefore this is a Phase/Zone Change (StruM.I.S would also recognise it as a Lot/Load Change) and the revision will take place automatically.
5. Click the Next button and the Create Detail List screen will now be displayed.
6. Click the Finish button, the revision will now take place automatically and the Mark Items will be updated to Phase 2 and Lot 1.
Example 3
1. The material list for Mark 9 has been imported into the Detail Listing:
• Mark 9 – Qty = 3 off, all in Phase 1 Lot 1
2. Mark 9 has been released, nested and both Mark Item and Mark work orders have been generated.
3. Import the revised material list for Mark 9 into the Detail Listing:
• Mark 9 – Qty = 3 off, all moved to Phase 1 Lot 2.
4. From the Item Listing screen of the Wizard, click the Next button and the Revision screen will be displayed.
Note: All instances of Mark 9 have been changed, therefore this is a Lot/Load Change and the revision will take place automatically.
5. Click the Next button and the Create Detail List screen will now be displayed.
6. Click the Finish button, the revision will now take place automatically and the Mark Items will be updated to Phase 1 and Lot 2.
Example 4
1. The material list for Mark 9 has been imported into the Detail Listing:
• Mark 9 – Qty = 3 off, all in Phase 1 Lot 1
2. Mark 9 has been released, nested and both Mark Item and Mark work orders have been generated.
3. Import the revised material list for Mark 9 into the Detail Listing:
• Mark 9 – Qty = two off in Phase 1 Lot 1 and 1 off moved to Phase 1 Lot 2.
4. From the Item Listing screen of the Wizard, click the Next button and the Revision screen will be displayed.
Note: All instances of Mark 9 have not been changed, therefore this is both a Mark Lot/Load Quantity Decrease and a Mark Lot/Load Quantity Increase and the Can Revise checkbox is un-ticked. This means that the Changed Mark Items will not be updated automatically.
5. Therefore, click the Next button and the Revisions Un-nesting Rollback Options form will be displayed.
6. For the revision to take place Un-nest all instances of Mark 9 (this automatically un-issues the Mark Item Work Orders).
7. Click the Next button and the Revisions Un-Issue Rollback Options form will now be displayed.
8. Select the Work Order then click the Un-Issue Undo button.
Note: The icons for the Mark Work Order will change to confirm that they will be rolled back.
9. Click the Next button and the Create Detail List screen will now be displayed.
10. Click the Finish button, the revision will now take place automatically and Mark 9 will be rolled back to Lotted (not released).
It is at this point that you should consider what happens to the Purchase Order and the associated material when a revision occurs and Mark Items are Un-nested. The following scenarios are based on the Status of the Purchase Order when the revision takes place.
1. When the Purchase Order has a Status of Requisition:
• The original nested material is removed from the Lines Tab.
• The Purchase Order number may be used for the new nested Mark Items.
2. When the Purchase Order has a Status of Released but the material has not been received into Inventory:
• The original material remains on the Lines Tab, however, the material is only allocated to the Contract and the Mark Item allocation is removed.
• The material on the Purchase Order may be used for the new nested Mark Items.
3. When the Purchase Order has a Status of Released and the material is received into Inventory:
• The original material is only allocated to the Contract and the Mark Item allocation is removed.
• The material in Inventory may be used for the new nested Mark Items.
Example 5
1. The material list for Mark 9 has been imported into the Detail Listing:
• Mark 9 – Qty = 3 off, one in Phase 1 Lot 1, one in Phase 2 Lot 2 and one in Phase 3 Lot 3.
2. Mark 9 has been released, nested and both Mark Item and Mark work orders have been generated.
• See the snapshot of the Production Lotting form with the Phase and Lot columns highlighted.
3. Import the revised material list for Mark 9 into the Detail Listing:
• Mark 9 – Qty = 3 off, one in Phase 1 Lot 1, one in Phase 2 Lot 2 and one moved to Phase 4 Lot 4.
4. From the Item Listing screen of the Wizard, click the Next button and the Revision screen will be displayed.
Note: As all instances of Mark 9 have not been changed, therefore this is a Mark Phase/Zone Quantity Decrease, a Mark Lot/Load Quantity Decrease, a Mark Phase/Zone Quantity Increase and a Mark Lot/Load Quantity Increase and the Can Revise checkbox is un-ticked. This means that the Changed Mark Items will not be updated automatically.
5. Click the Next button and the Revisions Un-nesting Rollback Options form will be displayed.
6. For the revision to take place Un-nest all instances of Mark 9 (this automatically un-issues the Mark Item Work Orders).
7. Click the Next button and the Revisions Un-Issue Rollback Options form will now be displayed.
8. Select the Work Order(s) then click the Un-Issue Undo button.
Note: The icons for the Mark Work Order will change to confirm that they will be rolled back.
9. Click the Next button and the Create Detail List screen will now be displayed.
10. Click the Finish button, the revision will now take place and Mark 9 will be rolled back to Lotted (not released).
Length Changes (Linear Items)
If the length of a Mark Item has been changed then StruM.I.S will interrogate the cutting plans to determine whether the nested bar is long enough to accept the revised lengths. If this is the case then the cutting plans are updated automatically when the Import Detailing List Wizard is complete.
The following examples are based on the Revision Setting for Material Changes set to Allow If Released and with the Always apply production length revision changes checkbox ticked.
Example 6
1. The material list for Mark Item 10 has been imported into the Detail Listing:
• Mark Item 10 – 3 off, 5000mm long. Nested to 2 bars 5500mm & 1 bar 6000mm.
2. Mark Item 10 has been released and nested but the Mark Item(s) has not been issued to production.
3. Import the revised material list for Mark Item 10 into the Detail Listing:
• Mark Item 10 – 3 off, now increased to 5600mm long.
4. From the Item Listing screen of the Wizard, click the Next button and the Revision screen will be displayed.
Note: As all of the original nested bars are not long enough to accept the revised length then none of the cutting plans will be updated automatically.
5. Click the Next button and the Revisions Un-nesting Rollback Options form will be displayed.
6. For the revision to take place Un-nest all instances of Mark Item 10.
7. Click the Next button and the Create Detail List screen will now be displayed.
8. Click the Finish button, the revision will now take place and Mark Item 10 will be rolled back to Not Covered in the Production Nesting Ordering form.
Example 7
1. The material list for Mark Item 10 has been imported into the Detail Listing:

2. Mark Item 10 has been released and nested but the Mark Item(s) has not been issued to production.
• snapshot of the Detailed Nesting Cutting List Report with the Cuts To Make column and Cutting Plan numbers highlighted.
3. Import the revised material list for Mark Item 10 into the Detail Listing:
• Mark Item 10 – 3 off, now increased to 5600mm long.
4. From the Item Listing screen of the Wizard, click the Next button and the Revision screen will be displayed.
Note: As all of the original nested bars are long enough to accept the revised length then the revision will take place and the cutting plans will be updated automatically.
5. Click the Next button and the Create Detail List screen will now be displayed.
6. Click the Finish button, the revision will now take place automatically and the Mark Items will be updated to the new lengths.
• Below is a snapshot of the Detailed Nesting Cutting List Report with the Cuts To Make column and Cutting Plan numbers highlighted.
Note: The Cuts To Make values have been updated automatically while the Cutting Plan numbers have remained the same.
Item (i.e. Section Size) Changes
The following examples are based on the Revision Setting for Material Changes set to Allow Revisions if Released.
Example 8
1. The material list for Mark Item C7has been imported into the Detail Listing:
• Mark Item C7– Section size W12 x 40 x 18’ 8 – 7/8” Grade A36.
2. Mark Item C7 has been released but has not been nested or issued to production.
3. Import the revised material list for Mark Item C7into the Detail Listing:
• Mark Item C7– Section size increased to W12 x 50 x 18’ 8 – 7/8” Grade A992gr50.
Note: The Item Listing screen will highlight under the Listed In System As column that the Mark Item was originally imported as a W12 x 40-A36.
4. From the Item Listing screen of the Wizard, click the Next button and the Revision screen will be displayed.
Note: All instances of Mark Item C7 have been changed, therefore this is a Mark Item Section revision and the Can Revise checkbox is ticked. This means that the Changed Mark Items will be updated automatically.
5. Click the Next button and the Create Detail List screen will now be displayed.
6. Click the Finish button and the revision will now take place automatically and the Mark Items will be updated to the new Section Size.
Example 9
1. The material list for Mark C7 Beam component parts has been imported into the Detail Listing:
• Mark Item C7 = W12 x 40 x 18’ 8 – 7/8” Grade A36 with Mark Item CLT1 = 2 x Clip Angles L4”x4”x5/16” x 8-1/2” Grade A36.
2. Mark Item C7and Mark Item CLT1 has been released, nested and issued to production.
3. Import the revised material list for Mark C7 Beam component parts into the Detail Listing:
• Mark Item C7 = W12 x 50 x 18’ 8 – 7/8” Grade A992gr50 with Mark Item CLT1 remain unchanged.
Note: The Item Listing screen will highlight under the Listed In System As column that the Mark Item was originally imported as a W12 x 40-A36.
4. From the Item Listing screen of the Wizard, click the Next button and the Revision screen will be displayed.
Note: As all instances of Mark C7 Beam have not been changed, therefore this is a Mark Item Section revision and the Can Revise checkbox is un-ticked. This means that the Changed Mark Items will not be updated automatically.
5. Therefore, click the Next button and the Revisions Un-nesting Rollback Options form will be displayed.
6. For the revision to take place Un-nest all instances of Mark Item C7 (this automatically un-issues the Mark Item Work Orders).
7. Click the Next button and the Create Detail List screen will now be displayed.
8. Click the Finish button, the revision will now take place and Mark Item C7 will be rolled back to Not Covered in the Production Nesting Ordering form.
Note: The work orders for Mark Item C7 will also be rolled back to Mark Items Not Issued in the Generate Contract Work Orders form.
9. Mark Item CLT1 will remain unchanged as nested and issued to production.
Note: In Example 9, if the Revision Setting for Material Changes was set to Allow All Revisions, then the revision would take place without opening the Revisions Un-nesting Rollback Options form. The Mark Items would be updated to show the revised section size but the material would not be un-nested. The cutting plans would therefore still show Mark Item C7 as nested to the original (different section size) bar.
Mark Item Quantity Increase / New Mark Item Created
If a Mark Item(s) quantity has been changed or a new Mark Item has been created then StruM.I.S will make these changes automatically when the Import Detailing List Wizard is complete.
The following example is based on the Revision Setting for Non-Material Changes set to Allow All Revisions.
Example 10
1. The material list for Mark C4M has been imported into the Detail Listing:
• Mark C4M – Consisting of C4M Main Member 1 off, PLT1 Base Plate 1 off and PLT3 Rectangular Stiffeners 2 off.
2. Mark C4M has been released, nested and both Mark Item and Mark work orders have been generated.
3. Import the revised material list for Mark C4M into the Detail Listing:
• Mark C4M – Consisting of C4M Main Member 1 off, PLT1 Base Plate 1 off, PLT3 Rectangular Stiffeners increased to 8 off and an additional PLT4 Rectangular Stiffener 1 off.
4. From the Item Listing screen of the Wizard, click the Next button and the Revision screen will be displayed.
Note: PLT3 has been changed; therefore this is a Mark Item Quantity Increased and PLT4 is a new item; therefore this is a Mark Item Created. The Can Revise checkbox is ticked which means that the revision will take place automatically.
5. Click the Next button and the Create Detail List screen will now be displayed.
6. Click the Finish button, the revision will now take place automatically and the additional Mark Item PLT3 and the new Mark Item PLT4 will appear on the Production Nesting Ordering form as Not Covered.
Note: PLT3 is now displayed on separate lines, this is because the original Mark Items have been issued to Production and assigned to a Workstation.
7. If Mark C4M was released, nested but the Mark Items were not issued to production then the additional Mark Item PLT3 would appear on the Production Nesting Ordering form as Part Covered.
8. Mark Item PLT4 will appear on the Production Nesting Ordering form as Not Covered in both cases.
9. The additional plates PLT3 and the new plate PLT4 will also appear on the Generate Contract Work Orders form as Mark Items Not Issued.
Removing Mark Items
If a Mark Item has been removed from the Mark then StruM.I.S has the following options on the Create Detail List screen of the Import Detail Listing Wizard:
• Ignore all removed Items – This will ignore items that are marked for removal.
• Place removed items on hold – This will place items marked for removal on hold.
o Hold all mark items on a removed mark – This will put all Mark Items of a Mark on hold when a Mark is marked for removal.
The following example is based on the Revision Setting for Non-Material Changes set to Allow All Revisions and for Material Changes set to Allow Revision if Released.
Example 11
1. The material list for Mark 8 has been imported into the Detail Listing:
• Mark 8 – Consisting of Mark Items 8, PLT1, PLT3 and PLT4.
2. Mark 8 has been released, nested and both Mark Item and Mark work orders have been generated.
3. Import the revised material list for Mark 8 into the Detail Listing:
• Mark 8 – Consisting of Mark Items 8, PLT1, PLT3 but Mark Item PLT4 has been removed and a new Mark Item PLT14 added.
4. From the Item Listing screen of the Wizard, click the Next button and the Revision screen will be displayed.
Note: PLT4 is displayed under the Removed Mark Items smart filter and the Can Revise checkbox is un-ticked which means that PLT4 will be placed on hold. PLT14 is a new item; therefore this is a Mark Item Created. The Can Revise checkbox is ticked which means that the revision will take place automatically.
5. Click the Next button and the Create Detail List screen will now be displayed.
6. Tick the Place removed items on hold radial button; this will place Mark 8 on hold and only the removed Mark Item PLT4 on hold. These are denoted by the red flag.
7. Click the Finish button, the Contract Detailed Listing form will now display Mark Item PLT4 on hold and the new Mark Item PLT14 added to the Component Mark Items window.
Note: If the Hold all mark items on a removed mark checkbox is also ticked then the Mark will be placed on hold along with all of the associated Mark Items.
8. All other Mark Items will remain released, nested and issued to production.
Note: In the above snapshot of the Production Nesting Ordering form you can see PLT4 marked as on hold with the red flag and the new PLT14 appears as Not Covered.
Mark Quantity Decrease
If the quantity of a Mark has been decreased then StruM.I.S will interrogate the Mark Item Status and detect whether the Mark quantity being reduced is lower than the lotted quantity of the Mark.
The following example is based on the Revision Setting for Non-Material Changes set to Allow All Revisions and for Mark Quantity Decrease set to Allow Revision if Released.
Example 12
1. The material list for Mark B12 has been imported into the Detail Listing:
• Mark B12 – Qty = 3 off, all in Phase 1 Lot 1.
2. Mark B12 has been released but has not been nested or issued to production.
• See the snapshot of the Production Lotting form with the Phase and Lot columns highlighted.
3. Import the revised material list for Mark B12 into the Detail Listing:
• Mark B12 – Qty = 2 off, all in Phase 1 Lot 1.
4. From the Item Listing screen of the Wizard, click the Next button and the Revision screen will be displayed.
Note: All instances of Mark B12 have been changed; therefore this is a Mark Phase/Zone Quantity Decreased, a Mark Lot/Load Quantity Decreased & a Mark Quantity Decreased. The Can Revise checkbox is ticked which means that the revision will take place automatically.
5. Click the Next button and the Create Detail List screen will now be displayed.
6. Click the Finish button, the revision will now take place automatically and Mark B12 will be rolled back to Lotted (not released).
Example 13
1. The material list for Mark B25 has been imported into the Detail Listing:
• Mark B25 – Qty = 3 off, all in Phase 1 Lot 1.
2. Mark B25 has been released, nested and both Mark Item and Mark work orders have been generated.
3. Import the revised material list for Mark B25 into the Detail Listing:
• Mark B25 – Qty = 2 off, all in Phase 1 Lot 1.
4. From the Item Listing screen of the Wizard, click the Next button and the Revision screen will be displayed.
Note: All instances of Mark B12 have been changed; therefore this is a Mark Phase/Zone Quantity Decreased, a Mark Lot/Load Quantity Decreased & a Mark Quantity Decreased. The Can Revise checkbox is un-ticked. This means that the Changed Mark Items will not be updated automatically
5. Therefore, click the Next button and the Revisions Un-nesting Rollback Options form will be displayed.
6. For the revision to take place Un-nest all instances of Mark B25 (this automatically un-issues the Mark Item Work Orders).
7. Click the Next button and the Revisions Un-Issue Rollback Options form will now be displayed.
8. Select the Work Order(s) then click the Un-Issue Undo button.
Note: The icons for the Mark Work Order will change to confirm that they will be rolled back.
9. Click the Next button and the Create Detail List screen will now be displayed.
10. Click the Finish button, the revision will now take place and Mark B25 will be rolled back to Lotted (not released).
