This activity is used to replace component parts with alternate components for an entire shop order. The system replaces all possible components according to the alternate component setup. You cannot manually pick alternate components. The option to replace all to alternate components will be available only if a sufficient quantity exists for at least one alternate component. The shop order components will be replaced with the alternate components. Only nettable inventory quantities will be considered.
To perform this activity from the Shop Order, Shop Orders, Shop Orders Material Availability or Production Line Management/Shop Orders page, select the shop order(s), click Material Actions and then Replace All to Alternate Components.
To perform this activity from the Material Availability Summary chart, select the segment for the relevant orders and click Replace All to Alternate Components.
A shop order component with at least one valid alternate component having sufficient quantity must exist.
