To start a mass change:
You jump to the Mass Changes screen: Selection for Material.
The system automatically adjusts the selection criteria, the BOM categories and the item changes fields in the object type of the reference object.
If the object is only to be replaced in BOMs where it has a certain item category, enter the item category. For example, you can replace a material component everywhere where it is defined in a BOM as a stock item.
If you enter a change number, the system selects the change status that is valid on the date of the change number or on the alternative date.
Furthermore, the system carries out all changes with reference to this change number.
Enter a valid from date or a time period. The system only selects items whose validity periods overlap with those that you have entered.
For example, you enter in the selection criteria the valid from date 1.4. and the valid to date 1.9. The system selects all item change statuses valid in this period.
The system automatically adjusts the fields for the item changes to the selected function.
The system selects a BOM that matches the selection criteria and displays it in a list.
