Mass Change Component Items – An overview
You can achieve this by presenting search criteria to retrieve the input item or the planning group. Either the item or the planning group can be replaced. On entering the details in the search criteria the system retrieves the product structures in the multiline. The item may be valid in more than one product structure and need not be replaced in all the product structures.
You can select the item or the planning group to be replaced and define the variant, quantity, warehouse, overall yield, validity dates, and lot sizes of the item. The changes made to the item can also be updated in the respective work orders. You need to check the update work order field to update the work orders which use the changed items. The work order updation with the changes can happen in online or in batch mode.
Apart from replacing, you can also delete the input item/planning group that are not in use and replace the new input items/planning group. In order to effect the process of replace and delete in the product structure, the system sets the values as “None” or “Replace” or “Delete” based on the action performed. “None” indicates default value, “Replace” indicates the replacement of item/planning group and “Delete” indicates deletion of item/planning group. The multiline displays the product structure details with the corresponding action value. Upon saving, the system generates a mass change reference if this option is provided. Otherwise, you can enter the mass change reference.
