This activity is used to replace a component in a selected configuration structure.
Note: If the selected structure is in a state that allows update (i.e., Tentative or Plannable) or Buildable on a site with the site rule Simplified, the activity causes the system to exchange the old component for the new component. If the structure is in a state that does not allow update (Buildable on a site with site rule Restricted or Enhanced), the system phases out the old structure and its associated part revision and creates a new part revision, copying all existing structures alternatives and replacing the old component with the new component in the new structure alternative. All back office configuration rules associated with the old structure are copied to the new structure, although rules for the replaced component are not copied to the new component.
IFS/Configuration Back Office and IFS/Configuration Characteristic must be installed. This activity requires that all components must be defined in Inventory Part. The structures of the parts must have been entered.
As a result of this activity, the system replaces a component in a selected structure.
