# Part revision interchangeability

ION supports part revision interchangeability out-of-the-box

If your organization has a policy that all revisions for the same part number are fully interchangeable, you can configure ION to follow suit.

{% hint style="info" %}
Use this functionality when your organization enforces that part numbers have the same form, fit, and function and uses different part numbers when not the same form, fit, and function.
{% endhint %}

Toggle on this option in organization settings (/settings/organization).

Once enabled, while kitting or installing, you will be able to consume inventory that has the same part number as the required part even if it's a different revision.

Note the aBOM below, where Rev C is required, but a Rev B has been installed.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://manual.firstresonance.io/features/parts-and-trace/part-revision-interchangeability.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
