Mass BOM Changes (MBC)

Mass BOM Changes (MBC) is a function offered with PLM for Discrete to change multiple bills of material. Within the MBC, you can specify modification rules for any BOM that matches the modification rule. After the rule is set for one of the child items, applicable parents can be shown for selective application of the rule.

The MBC can be used to replace parts with new parts. In the setup of the rule, the BOM quantities can be recalculated and modified as part of the process.

The MBC can be executed as a minor or major check-out and combined with a check-in as part of the same process.

The MBC can also be run as part of a business process. An option is to combine the modification with a Send to Production.

MBC can be used for released parents, unreleased parents, or in design parents
