Replacing Manufacturing Parts in an MBOM

You can replace a manufacturing part in an MBOM. If the MCO associated with the part is in the Create state and the MBOM status is pending, the part can be replaced without a change order context.

Parts that are removed (or replaced) from a released MBOM are not listed in the MCO. The MCO filter displays only those parts that have been added to the MBOM.

Before you begin: Access a part Bill of Materials page in MBOM Plant-Specific edit mode (Current & Pending view). See Editing Part Bill of Materials - MBOM Plant-Specific
