Upgrade ETIM class to newer version

ETIM class can be upgraded in ETIM Upgrade Report or in Catalog Classes.

We would recommend to use the Upgrade Report, since this way you Upgrade all ETIM classes at once, for all Item cards.

Caution

Higher version on ETIM must be imported into PIMICS first

Upgrade/Merge setting

Depending on setting in Catalogue setup Clasess will behave differently upon upgrade.

In General tab is setting After Merge Class If Keep Original is selected, Pimics will keep the original ETIM version on entity, and add the new version as well.
Keep failed will leave on entity only ETIM Classes, that were not successfully upgraded and Delete the old version of clasess that were. Delete will always Delete older ETIM Class after Upgrade.
