Best practice for handling SW versioning in Oracle R12 Items and/or Install Base?
Is there a best practice when handling and tracking software and its versions across an Installed Base of hardware? My company employs the full EBS of R12 and sells hardware along with software and also sells the software separately for installation on other hardware. The software side is new and we are looking for a way to track the presence of our SW in Installed Base, not only by where it is used, but also what version it is and what equipment it is on.
Would the best practice for SW be to create items that are revision controlled or to make use of the Installed Base Version Label, which seems a little free and loose? I can't seem to find any other methods to use for such an application.
