I believe you will get the 'currrent' rev based on to - from dates.   during the overlap, MRP plans for the later rev. but MO release , the earlier release is used to chew up Inv. of lower level components.

 

Inv is not stored at the rev. level, I don't believe this will change at rel 9.   'fit, form, function' aurgument.

 

So I would think this is a null effect on CSM ?
