Business Rule or Customization to check that a drawing is more recent than the model.

@MM_10260548 

Would an acceptable solution be to set the config to “Latest” but only publish if the drawing’s rev and the drawing’s model’s rev match?

If yes, this is doable.

Felcos' Object Validator will probably do this checking along with a myriad of other checks:

I had the exact same problem, I made some workflow code to check the drawing and the referenced models, you will need a workflow variable "errorMsg" which you also put in the error activity to display the error message to the assignee, hopefully its some use to you:

wt.maturity.PromotionNotice pn = (wt.maturity.PromotionNotice) primaryBusinessObject;

// Refresh promotion targets
com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.maturity.PromotionNoticeWorkflowHelper.refresh(pn);

// Get the promotion targets 
wt.fc.QueryResult qr = wt.maturity.MaturityHelper.service.getPromotionTargets(pn, false);

boolean allOK = true;
StringBuilder errorMessages = new StringBuilder();


while (qr.hasMoreElements()) {
 wt.maturity.PromotionTarget pt = (wt.maturity.PromotionTarget) qr.nextElement();
 String oid = pt.getPromotable().toString();
 ObjectIdentifier oid1 = ObjectIdentifier.newObjectIdentifier(oid);
 wt.fc.WTObject obj = (wt.fc.WTObject) wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh(oid1);

 // Only check drawings
 if (obj.getDisplayType().getLocalizedMessage(java.util.Locale.ENGLISH).contains("Drawing")) {
 wt.epm.EPMDocument epm = (wt.epm.EPMDocument) obj;

 int DRAWING_MODEL_DEP_TYPE = 4;
 wt.epm.workspaces.EPMAsStoredConfigSpec as_stored_config = wt.epm.workspaces.EPMAsStoredConfigSpec.newEPMAsStoredConfigSpec(epm);

 wt.query.QuerySpec ref_filter_qs = new wt.query.QuerySpec();
 Class qc = wt.epm.structure.EPMReferenceLink.class;
 int idx = ref_filter_qs.addClassList(qc, true);
 ref_filter_qs.appendWhere(new wt.query.SearchCondition(qc, wt.epm.structure.EPMReferenceLink.REQUIRED, wt.query.SearchCondition.IS_TRUE), new int[]{idx});
 ref_filter_qs.appendAnd();
 ref_filter_qs.appendWhere(new wt.query.SearchCondition(qc, wt.epm.structure.EPMReferenceLink.DEP_TYPE, wt.query.SearchCondition.EQUAL, DRAWING_MODEL_DEP_TYPE), new int[]{idx});

 wt.fc.QueryResult qr2 = wt.epm.structure.EPMStructureHelper.service.navigateReferencesToIteration(epm, ref_filter_qs, true, as_stored_config);

 while (qr2.hasMoreElements()) {
 wt.epm.EPMDocument ref = (wt.epm.EPMDocument) qr2.nextElement();
 String refS = ref.toString();

 // Get latest iteration of referenced model
 wt.epm.EPMDocConfigSpec epmConfigSpec = wt.epm.EPMDocConfigSpec.newEPMDocConfigSpec();
 epmConfigSpec.setLatestActive();
 epmConfigSpec.setWorkingIncluded(false);
 wt.fc.QueryResult resultLatestEPM = wt.vc.config.ConfigHelper.service.filteredIterationsOf(ref.getMaster(), epmConfigSpec);

 if (resultLatestEPM.hasMoreElements()) {
 wt.epm.EPMDocument latestRef = (wt.epm.EPMDocument) resultLatestEPM.nextElement();
 String latestRefS = latestRef.toString();

 // Check if the referenced model is not the latest
 if (!refS.equals(latestRefS)) {
					allOK = false;
					errorMessages.append("<p>").append(epm.getCADName()).append("</p>");
 }
 }
 }
 }
}


// Set result based on findings
if (allOK) {
 result = "Approve";
} else {
 result = "Rework";
	errorMsg = errorMessages.toString();
}
