Managing Minor Version in Manufacturing Finder

You can manage a minor version in a navigation tab using a minor version filter and the Smart Completion mechanism.

The scenario below illustrates Smart Completion from a product that has implement links from minor versions of manufactured items.

Before you begin: Create a minor version of the Create A1 manufactured item and set it as a BSF minor version using the Maturity command on the initial manufactured item. Make sure it has SHARED status. Then use the New Minor Version command on the initial manufactured item. Finally, use the Maturity command on the created minor manufactured item to set it as BSF. Make sure it has SHARED status.
