Track a WO component change
This parameter—TRACKMATWO—controls whether changes to a work order component need to be audited.
Yes: Changes to work order components need to be audited. Changes to components of a production bill of material (BOM) on a work order are audited. The audit information is saved whenever it occurs.
No: Do not audit changes to a work order component.
Audited events
When an event occurs that the audit control table can audit, a reference is generated for the event as a sequential revision number. The user can add a free-format comment up to a maximum 50 characters to explain the reason for the change. This "revision reason" is written to the appropriate audit table to provide traceability for the event.
Direct events
Audited events made directly by the user include, but are not limited to the following:
| Audited event | Audited action |
|---|---|
| Add component | Selecting the Add unexpected material or Add sub-assembly (phantom) action from the Actions icon |
| Exclude or cancel component | Selecting the Exclude line action from the Actions icon |
| Reinstate canceled component | Selecting the Reactivate action from the Actions icon |
| Edit required component quantity | Editing the Requirement qty field (RETQTY) |
| Edit pick list component issue statement | Editing the Pick list code field (PKC) |
| Assign or edit specific manufacturing operation for a component | Editing the Op. field (BOMOPE) |
Indirect events
Audited events made when the work order header is edited include, but are not limited to the following:
| Audited event | Audited action |
|---|---|
| Edit start date | Editing the Start date field (STRDAT) |
| Edit planned quantity | Editing the Release qty field (UOMEXTQTY) |
| Delete released product |
Tables updated
Component events are recorded in the Work order—materials audit table (MFGMATREV).
Viewing audit details
You can view the audit details from the work order. On the Components tab, select Revision history from the Actions icon on an edited component line. The revision history includes the revision reason and a revision code if they were entered, and key details from the component line. The most recent event displays on the first line of the table, the top line. Amended fields are highlighted.
Level of localization/Global variable
This parameter is defined at the level Site. It belongs to Chapter GPA (Manufacturing) and the Group WOM (Work Order management). The following parameters are also associated with this chapter and group:
- CMPUSBCTR (Usable component control)
- CUMMAT (Material accumulation mode)
- MFGREV (Revision management)
- RELSTRDAT (Level on WO start date change)
- RELUPD (Upgrade upon execution)
- TRACKOPEWO (Track a WO operation change)
The global variable GTRACKMATWO is associated with this parameter.

Comments
This parameter audits changes to components of non-versioned production BOMs.
Refer to the MFGREV—Revision management parameter, which audits changes to components of version-managed production BOMs.
