Just to chime in...

For those of you who may not be aware, core applications (CSM, PM, MM etc) in R9 will no longer retrieve item settings from ITEMAS* files when using EPDM.  All item settings will be retrieved from ITMRV* files.

We will still support the optional release function to the ITEMAS* files as a transition for those who have modifications, but it will no longer be required for the core applications of XA.

I couldn't agree more... We have ran into soo many issues with the wrong
revision being released.

FYI -  I have found it useful to Qry the 'ITMREL' item release file to
PDM, to ensure only one site is synced to PDM.

 

Also, Costing - 'ucdef'  is now supported at the 'site' level in EPDM as
reference in the WH master.
