... and will probably destroy the data integrity of your system.
If a manufacturing process changes in any way, you are building a slightly different product. Since SL and LS are basically accounting systems and not manufacturing operations support systems, their support of manufacturing is limited to simple assembly. Product versioning is not supported. So you need to define a new assembly,
A1.1, where .1 relates to a 'build process/script/spec/recipe'.
If you hack the database you need to ensure that you are not invalidating what was accurate data for the old way something was assembled. Eg would old historic invoice line-items for those assemblies now be incorrect.
