This activity is used to replace a component part in one selected structure, several selected structures or in all the structures where the component part is included. Depending on what you select on the page such as the rules for the site and the status on the structure, the outcome will be different when a component part is replaced. In some of the scenarios, the component part will be replaced in the existing structures and for other situations a new revision will be created for the parent part.
Use the Phase Out or Replace Structure Component dialog box open from a structure client to phase out or replace a component in a Product, Recipe, Configuration or the Planning structure.
Use the Phase Out or Replace Structure Component page to phase out or replace a component part in one selected structure, several selected structures or in all structures where the component part is included.
Note: Depending on the site rule, structure status, time for the phase out and selections in the dialog box, the replacement will either be in existing revisions or new revisions will be created.
