Rolling Back the Lifecycle State of an Item (Vault 2015 Only)

Learn about rolling back an item lifecycle state in Vault 2015.

Note: This feature is not available in Vault 2015 R2.

You can roll back an item that:

• is in the Work in Progress (WIP) state to the previous released version
• has been released to the last lifecycle state of either Work In Progress (WIP) or In Review

Rolling back an item from WIP to the previous released state deletes the current revision of the item.

The lifecycle of an item cannot be rolled back if:

• the item is in the Obsolete state
• doing so would create an invalid BOM
• there is no previous lifecycle state
• the item history was created during a change order that is now cancelled or closed

Roll Back the Lifecycle State of an Item

Only users with Item Editor Level 2, ERP Manager, or Administrator roles can change the state on an item.

1. Select an item in the Item Master, and then select Actions Roll Back Lifecycle State Change.
2. In the Roll Back Lifecycle State Change dialog box, specify whether or not a new version of the associated file should be created. If you are rolling back an item from Released to either In Review or Work In Progress, this option is not available.
3. Click Continue to complete the lifecycle state rollback.
