adding an older version of a part to the BOM of an assembly

Hi, How can I add an older version of a part ( a specific revision and generation ) to the BOM of an assembly ?  Thanks for replies from now on. Özgür.

Hi,

by default, Aras will always pick the the latest generation of an Item. But we had the same requirement. We solved this one with a custom saved search so users have the possibilty to search for previous generations of an item:

<item_number condition="like">*1234*</item_number>
<id condition="is not null"/>

    Does this work also for version 12? I have tried it and it always takes the latest version.

      Yes it should work. E.g. I have tested it when switching to AML search mode.

        We can search and select older parts, but when we click on the DONE button it reverts to the latest generation.
