Bulk replace material

Products can be replaced in bulk across product BOMs or in work order item BOMs.

To bulk-replace a product, open its details page and find the "Bulk replace products / work orders bom" section.

Open it and follow the steps in it.

1. Select material

Select the product, that will replace the current product in BOMs, and set its quantity. There can be from one to several products selected to replace the current product.

2. Select path

Here you have to select which type of BOMs you will be updating (replacing the product in):

• Update product BOM: the product will be replaced in BOMs of selected products.

3. Select products (BOM)

If the selected path was "Update product BOM", the next step is to select the products, whose BOMs will be updated.

4. Select work orders (BOM)

If the selected path was "Update work order BOM", the next step is to select work order(s), where work order item BOMs will be updated.
