Use

You can use the mass change function to change items in several BOMs at once.

Note

Objects for Mass Change

The mass change function is controlled by the object type of the item you change (see Item Entry and Master Record).

For each object type, the system makes specific checks:

This object type groups together all the item categories that refer to a material master:

This object type groups together all the items that refer to a document info record (document items).

This object type groups together all the items that refer to a class (class items).

Features

You can use a mass change to perform the following functions:

Create

With this function you can create a new material item, document item or class item in several BOMs that contain a specific reference object.

The object type of the reference object and the new item is irrelevant. For example, you can create a document in all BOMs that contain a particular material item.

Delete

This function enables you to delete an item from several BOMs.

Enter the data that identifies the item you want to delete.

Change

This function enables you to:

To change the quantity, you can enter a factor to multiply with the required quantity of the old component.

Note

If you set the Relevancy to costing indicator or the Bulk material indicator, an additional check is made, because these 2 indicators are mutually exclusive. If one of these indicators is set (for example, Relevancy to costing), and you want to set the other (for example, Bulk material) in a mass change run, the system deletes the indicator that was set before (Relevancy to costing, in this example).

Selecting BOMs

If you do not want to replace the BOM component in all BOMs, you can enter selection criteria for the BOM or item to include only the BOMs you want to change. Then a list of the selected BOMs is displayed. From this list you select which BOMs and items you really want to change.
