To change a variant BOM:

  1. Choose Material BOM ® Change.

    2. You see the Change material BOM initial screen.

  2. Enter your data on the initial screen.

    – Enter a Valid-from date or Change number.

    If you change a variant BOM with reference to a change number, you may see an error message telling you to check the object management records.
