Replacing outdated materials and designating use-up materials in BOMs

	Replacing outdated materials and designating use-up materials in BOMs This topic describes how to replace an outdated material with a replacement material in a bill of material (BOM) and specify the outdated material as a use-up material. If you use Engineering Data Management (EDM) to control changes in a BOM, you this procedure does not apply. Step 1. Start the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session Step 2. Insert BOM line The BOM line must have the same BOM position number as the outdated component Step 3. Specify the date for the switch Enter the date when the switch must occur in the Expiry Change Order field for the outdated component. Step 4. Specify the date for the new component to become effective The date entered in the Effective Change Order field, must be the same as the one in the Expiry Change Order field. If the outdated component is not used anymore in any BOM, you must set the item's last allowed order date in the Item - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session. If the last allowed order date is specified by warehouse, you must use the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session. If you enter a new component with the same BOM position number as an existing component, LN automatically inserts the outdated material as use-up material in the Use Up and Alternative Materials (tibom0150m000) session.
