Updating Components:

Example: We have selected the From and To Master Item Number as “A2(IMAGE-1500)G”.
2. In the Component Item Number field, enter or select the item number for the component that you want to add, remove or replace. Here we have used the component Item number as “A1-655/0”.
NOTE: If the component is itself a master item, in the BOM Number field, also specify the BOM number that is used to assemble the component item.
3. If you are replacing a component, enter or select the replacement item number. Here we have used the Replace by Item Number as “A1-656/0”.
NOTE: If the replacement component is a master item, in the next BOM Number field, specify the BOM for assembling the replacement item.
4. If you are replacing or adding a component item:
1. In the Quantity field, enter the number of items to add to the build in the unit of measure displayed on the screen.
2. In the Unit Cost field, if the new item has a user-specified costing method, enter the cost for one unit.
