Automatic detail status check

Enables the automatic status check of the details. The Document Manager automatically detects only the drawings, the BOMs and the NC files which need an update. The process is secure, since it detects the drawings that need to be updated and need to be issued again (e.g. for fabrication).

BOMs, drawings and NC files that are up-to-date are placed in the Current branch of the Document Manager.
BOMs, drawings and NC files that need an update are placed in the Update required branch.
