Routing change does not generate new Configured Item

Hi,

I would like to understand how you, configurator admin/users, manage your configured items when routing changes happen.

Assuming I have a configured item, called CG0001, already created in the past.

I made a change in its model routing: I ended an existing step, and created a new one (with the same sequence number but another standard operation code).

I created a new Sales Order and performed the same configuration (as I did in the past to get configured item CG0001).

When I perform the progress order to Create the Config Item, the system finds CG0001, which corresponds to the configuration I did. However, I expected the system to generate a Config Item CG0002 so it gets the routing changes I performed just before.
