Replacing BOM lines

You can replace several BOM lines, with selected BOM fields retaining their values and some BOM fields inheriting the values from the new component after the replace action.

  1. Select Basics > Styles.
  2. Open a style and click the BOM tab.
  3. Right-click on a BOM line and select Replace BOM Lines.
    The Replace BOM Line window appears. The BOM lines are by default arranged in ascending order according to the Sequence column. You can search for values in all columns in the list.

    Point at the information (the letter "i") icon at the left of the window title to view:

    • Fields that will inherit the values of the new styles, materials, or trims
    • Fields whose values will be retained when BOM lines are replaced
    • Calculated fields that are always dependent on the input Quantity, Cost Price and inherited Purchase Price values.

    For the list of fields, see List of BOM line fields for replace action.
