This article details the process to replace a common Assembly or Kit component in one batch, as opposed to manually changing the Bill of Materials for each item.

It is a common occurrence to have multiple Assembly or Kit Products that share a common component on the Bill of Materials. A situation may arise where this common component is being replaced with a different component. This could happen for a variety of reasons -- the Vendor might have discontinued a component or maybe your purchasing department has found a more cost-effective replacement or it could be that customers' needs have changed.

Whatever the case might be, this Global Replace feature will expedite the process to Replace one BOM component with a different BOM component for a selection of Assemblies or Kits. You can also leverage this feature to either Add or Delete a common BOM component from a selection of items.
