What is the relationship between the parent matrix assembly BOM revision and the child matrix assembly BOM revision? Are the revisions handled completely separately or tied together in some way? Should the revision of the parent change with every child?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, the relationship between the parent matrix assembly Bill of Materials (BOM) revision and the child matrix assembly BOM revision is not inherently tied together. They are handled separately. A BOM revision is typically created when there are updates to the existing BOM, such as adding, changing, or removing a component. This allows for tracking changes to the BOM over time without creating a completely new BOM. However, if the assembly item is being sold or identified differently, or if it's being built at two different locations with different inputs, a new BOM would be created instead of a revision. The revision of the parent does not necessarily have to change with every child. It depends on the specific changes being made and how the organization chooses to manage their BOMs and revisions. It's also worth noting that the current BOM Revision of an Assembly can be found via saved search, but it's calculated based on the start and end dates. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
